Info:
DIMITRI FROM PARIS and his brother in crime DJ ROCCA come back to Gomma with a new 3 track EP.
Dimitri is a legend! From his Playboy Mansion compilations to his own tracks, his always inspiring DJ sets and most of all: his never disappointing edits (Prince: I wanna be your lover!). Let's put it like this: Probably there is not one DJ with taste on this planet that hasn't got his personal Dimitri From Paris favorite track in his bag. Dimitri has been doing consistently good music over the last 20 years. Since he first appeared with his very Parisian album Sacrebleu in 1996. He quickly became a worldwide respected European first league eclectic disco DJs - along with DJ Harvey and Ashley Beedle. He officially remixed hundreds of artists. From Björk and New Order to Michael Jackson. He also produced Los Amigos Invisibles "Super Pop Venezuela" album which grabbed a nomination for a Grammy Award. Some years ago he teamed up with Italian producer, DJ and man of many talents DJ Rocca. Rocca might be known to many for his work as Ajello and Crimea X. He also produced music for cosmic DJ hero Baldelli. Dimitri and Rocca have a magic touch. Together they have been doing 3 EPs for Gomma. This is the fourth EP. New school booty electronic disco. Glamorous as ever. Nasty as always.

Dimitri from Paris & DJ Rocca on Toy Tonics!? Some might wonder, other will understand. The reason: Toy Tonics records is made by the same guys who used to run the (currently sleeping) indie disco label GOMMA. And Dimitri & Rocca did a couple of EPs on Gomma some years ago.
Now it’s 2019 and some of their older works sound still/again so fresh that it made sense to release them again on Toy Tonics. That’s why you get this package. Three jams perfectly for the summer: The ultra 1990ies house remix for Italian duo Hard Ton. Then their all time disco superjam Ero Disco Theme and the long time sold out and currently highly looked for Ray Mang remix of Dimitri’s collabo with band Los Amigos Invisibles. That "Glad to know you" version goes for a lot of $$$ on Discogs, so why not put it out again. Have fun with Dimitri & Rocca. Old school house and disco dream team.

Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca have lots of history of producing together as Erodiscotique and once again here they team up on a new single for Hell Yeah. The stunning original, Disco Shake, comes backed with remixes from Luminodisco, J Kriv, D&G and remix pioneer Tom Moulton. Dimitri from Paris is a true electronic music legend - he pioneered his own French house sound at the start of his career, has mixed seminal compilations including the cult "Deluxe House of Funk" and the infamous "A Night At The Playboy Mansion" and has remixed everyone from The Rapture to Storm Queen in recent times. His partner in crime here, DJ Rocca - who is part of Ajello and the excellent Crimea X - is one of the key figures in the new Italian house scene. He has released lots of productions and remixes for Classic, Rekids and International Feel and once again comes up with the goods here. In original form the single is a foot stomping bit of disco with organic drums, breathy vocals and plenty of laser like guitar lines shooting through the arrangement. Bright golden chords add a luxurious quality to the Italo referencing pianos and the twinkly, starry breakdown allows a moment to catch your breath before is off to authentic disco town once again

Info:
This vinyl EP is a collaboration between Paris label CORRESPONDANT and Germany's GOMMA records.
Remixes by Los Angeles' finest psychedelic electronic producer SECRET CIRCUIT (Beats in Space records) and German shooting star LAUER (partner of Gerd Janson at Tuff City Kids).
Why this EP?
Gomma has a long history with the Paris scene. Mathias 'Munk' Modica who runs Gomma (and sublabel Toy Tonics) has been living in France for many years. He worked with many Parisian artists from DJ Chloe (on Munk's first album Aperitivo 2004) to the Ed Banger Crew or Black Strobe. Probably apart of Berlin there is no city in the world that saw more Gomma events than Paris. Seems only a project with Jennifer Cardini missed. So Jennifer invited Mathias last year to send over tracks. Decision was made fast. And so Wurlitzer Wank and The Bösus Bounce have come up on Correspondant.

Barotti is a musician and contemporary multimedia artist based in Berlin. After years of working on urban sound installations, performing arts and experimental music, he is now releasing his debut album. A soundtrack for fantastic futuristic fairytales. Epic and symphonic - with a deep electronic base.
Armed with iconic analog gear of the 1970s and 1980s, a hand-picked group of high level classical string and horn players and the whole imaginary world of his absurd fantasies, Barotti is opening up a new dimension in the vast field between contemporary classical and electronic music.
Rising stands firmly with one foot in the same mud as Woodkid and Sohn, and the other foot dipping into the past 200 years of classical music, resting in a lukewarm cocktail of Funkstörung and James Blake.
The album was recorded in Casablanca and Berlin. Co-written and co-produced with Swedish composer Anders Ehlin and German producer Valentin Sommer.
Biographical details:
Arriving in Berlin in 2007 after completing his music studies in drums at the Siena Jazz Academy, Barotti has pursued a wide variety of activities in the art world. He quickly joined forces with Plastique-Fantastique, producers of inflatable urban architecture. Together they started creating interactive sound sculptures. Their installations have been exhibited at Saatchi Gallery, Clerkenwell Design Week London and Design Week Milan. Their latest work Sound of Light (made for Urbane Künste Ruhr) won the Let's Colour Award. Their work also extends into pop: they have designed a stage machine for Peaches, now touring around the world. Barotti has also worked with Asphalt Piloten, an interdisciplinary group of artists transforming public spaces. Together, they have traveled all over Europe and Russia with various projects and have won the Swiss June Johnson Dance Award as well as the Kultur-&-Kreativpiloten Deutschland Award. In addition, Barotti also played the lead role in Berlin Für Helden, a movie by legendary German underground director Klaus Lemke.
Live
For his live shows, Barotti has invented a new instrument: The Pneumatic Drums. This enables him to combine his percussive skills in an interactive electronic environment, using the inflatable instrument not only as a drum but also as a projection surface for his visuals. The machine resembles a multicolored UFO and immerses the audience in its euphoric psychedelic patterns and rhythms.
The album:
In 2012 Barotti travelled to Morocco with a group of dancers, musicians, visual artists, gathering in an antique house facing the sea of Casablanca. The whole foundation of Rising revolves around the epic sessions in that mystical Arabic house which were later shaped into complete studio productions in Berlin. With Barotti's background in jazz improvisation and the world of the performing arts, it was clear that this album would be a multifaceted collaborative production. Just as in a jazz improvisation - the different energies and skills of Barotti and his two friends have created something special. This is a new universe of sonic landscapes, created using only old pianos, rare synthesizers and analog effects.
The visuals for the cover artwork were drawn by Sandra Tebbe during the Moroccan recording sessions, using the ancient ceramic tiles on the walls of the house in Casablanca as her canvases.
Quotes:
"Ohne Barottis klaren, rauen, modernen Cinecittà-Sound wäre Berlin eine dunkle, böse Stadt. Thank you, Marco!" (Maxim Biller)
"Immer Action. Immer Liebe. Es hört nie auf und wenn doch, dann wünsche ich mir mehr." (Inga Humpe)
"In der aktuellen Musikszene, die bald überhaupt keinen puls mehr drauf hat, macht Barotti Musik für Gefängnisausbrüche". (Lemke)
"This is not Techno. This is an Opera" (Peaches)

Introducing the new vocalists: Lizzie Paige (NYC/ Berlin) + Mona Lazette (London/ Berlin)
Tracklist:
A1) Cartoon A2) Happiness Juice feat Mona Lazette A3) The Beat feat Mona Lazette A4) Southern Moon feat Lizzie Paige B1) Deceiver feat Lizzie Paige B2) Misterio B3) Transient Lover feat Lizzie Paige B4) Intimate Stranger feat Mona Lazette B5) What Do U Want From Me?
Info:
Munk is the project of Gomma label founder Mathias Modica ("Germany's most interesting electronic music label" The NME). Munk is best known for his collaborations with Rebolledo from Pachanga Boys (Surf Smurf), James Murphy LCD Soundsystem (Kick out the chairs), Asia Argento (Live Fast Die Old) and club hits like Down in L.A. and La Musica. He co- produced the albums of Gomma bands WhoMadeWho and Moullinex. There is already a big buzz around Munk right now: The pre-single Southern Moon went on top of the Beatport house charts. DJs like Todd Terje, Shit Robot, Tensnake and Disclosure are playing it. Also Happiness Juice (and its superb video) is all over the blogs right now. Munk's latest remix of Lana Del Rey's West Coast went on No.1 of Hypemachine after it's release in June 2014 and is one of the most blogged remixes of this summer. The new album Chanson 3000 is the 4th Munk album. It was recorded in Berlin - where Mathias and his new vocalists live. As usual Mathias' music doesn't fit in any categories. It's a mixture of 90ies Electronica and House with New Wave, 70ies Jazzfunk, Indie Disco and his love for songwriters like Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones, Trevor Horn. Mathias is a classically trained musician. His dad (a composer of contemporary classical music) taught him instruments since the age of five. That's why Modica's way of producing is so different: He mixes "real" instruments (he plays piano, synths, bass, saxophone, guitars, drums) and new digital techniques. He also has this special ability to write melancholic melodies and harmonical structures that are unusual to electronic music. Probably that's why so many names have been invented to describe the Munk sound: Outsider House, Digital Soul, Deep Disco - but maybe you can put it the way a German writer did: Munk sounds like you put Metronomy, Disclosure and Nicolas Jarr in a mixer and add some great soul voices. The Album has been mixed and mastered by Rob Rox (Banks) and Mark Ralph (Daniel Avery, Franz Ferdinand).
The singers
Modica was searching for new, special voices and found them in Berlin: 23 year old Lizzie Paige who was raised in Austin/ Texas where she has grown up with listening concerts of new bands at the SXSW festivals before she moved first to New York and then to Berlin.
Mona Lazette was born in Nigeria where Fela Kuti was regularly visiting her dad's house. Later the family moved to London where Mona has been organizing underground partys, doing guestappiriances on records by Solomun, Catz 'n Dogz and Kele before going to Berlin.
The labels:
Mathias runs Gomma and the new house-sublabel Toy Tonics with two friends. Gomma by now is one of Germany's main labels for electronic music. The last Gomma compilation "100% Gomma" has been No.1 at JUNO Downloads for 6 weeks.
Gomma has released the debut records of WhoMadeWho, Moullinex, Black Loops, Daniel Avery, Hotlane and the solo project of Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem. Last year's Gomma discovery Esperanza just has been taken over by Berlin's Life & Death label.
Pressquotes:
The NME: "Modica is like a German James Murphy"
FAZ/ Germany: "Munk is like a underground version of Giorgio Moroder. Both came from Munich. Both innovated the sound of Disco. ".
Datatransmission: "Much like Warp, Gomma has ignored trends and adopted a passion for the more experimental and unusual sounds of the scene."

Hessismore are a 7 person musican's collective based in New York and Copenhagen around musical mastermind Mikkel Hess. They released their Gomma debut EP last July. Strange, beautiful music from outta space. Balinese marimba's, African drums, spooky voices - great new music. Now here come the remixes. Dimitri from Paris did an effective, supersexy disco stomper. Keeping a lot from the original version. The crazy voices, the Punk Funk feel, the moody, new wave atmopshere. But now it's a club bomb. Then Williamsburg's hidden underground star Lorne Dune reworked the other song. In a more edgy, distorted way. Beautiful. Then you have a version by Munich's Pollyester. The former bass player of Munk now has gone solo. She does this kind of naive, early 80ies, powerdisco you could hear at clubs like the Loft oder DJ Harvey playing. Orgastic Hardcore Disco Rock

He is kind of a cultural nerd (like many guys on Gomma): Movies, books - the crazier they are the more he knows about them.Wich might explain his unique approach to dance music. After two releases on other labels (Electrique Music and La Dame Noir) - now he landed on the Gomma planet. Be ready - he is serious!

nance whang & audiojack & bonar bradberr - like an eagle black loops & maik yells remix
UPC: 0880655019912 Release : 14. July 2014
cover versions of 2 tracks from the Casablanca Records catalogue: Dennis Parker's "Like An Eagle" and Donna Summer's "Working The Midnight Shift"
Tracklist A1) Nancy Whang & Audiojack - Like An Eagle (Extended Version) B1) Nancy Whang & Bonar Bradberry - Working The Midnight Shift B2) Nancy Whang & Audiojack - Like An Eagle (Black Loops & Maik Yells Remix)
Shortinfo:
After years as a vocalist and keyboarder in James Murphy's superband LCD Soundsystem, finally Nancy Whang steps out with her own solo project: 4 cover versions of big songs from the 70ies, each of which is to be produced by a big name of today's electronic scene.
The first single is a rework of Dennis Parker's 'Like An Eagle' which gets produced by AudioJack. Ibiza based, Leeds pair AudioJack have released on labels like 2020 Vision, Diynamic, Get Physical and countless other imprints. The basis for the track are spritely house drums run through with warbling, disco-fried synths that shine and glow gloriously. This is a fantastically floating single that will sweep dancefloors up and shoot them thorugh space all spring long. Toy Tonics acts Black Loops and Malik Yells also turn out a bomb remix.
The second track collected on the 12" sees Nancy team up with UK disco don Bonar Bradberry (one half of PBR Streetgang) , no stranger to success thanks to releasing on labels like Futureboogie, Needwant and 2020 Vision. The single 'Working The Midnight Shift' - originally by Donna Summer - gets a futuristic re-versioning that marries classic 80's boogie to fresh modern sounds. The extended version found on the vinyl is quite the trip, elongating the groove and the disco flourishes into something really quite epic. Once again Gomma have come up with a disco bomb that nods to the past at the same time as charging headlong into the future.

The second track collected on the 12" sees Nancy team up with UK disco don Bonar Bradberry (one half of PBR Streetgang) , no stranger to success thanks to releasing on labels like Futureboogie, Needwant and 2020 Vision. The single 'Working The Midnight Shift' - originally by Donna Summer - gets a futuristic re-versioning that marries classic 80's boogie to fresh modern sounds. The extended version found on the vinyl is quite the trip, elongating the groove and the disco flourishes into something really quite epic. Once again Gomma have come up with a disco bomb that nods to the past at the same time as charging headlong into the future.

What a combination! Pachanga Boys' REBOLLEDO and Gomma Boss MUNK doing a single together! And when two freaks like them meet for music ñ the result has to be a masterpiece of craziness! Surf Smurf is a dirty 60ies Surf Rock song gone electronic. Sounds like a David Lynch soundtrack for a movie he does in 2030. The boys made two versions of the song. While Rebolledo did a 12 minute dub techno orgy that flows around the basic guitar lick ñ Mr. Munk has put in some more energy: he created a dirty rockabilly house track that recalls the early Depth Charge or Weatherhall sound.. bringing back the analougue vibes and kaput drum machine sounds. Also the bonus track You Got It is a bomb. Techno? Yes! But warm & dirty. Pianos meet Acidlines ñ the stuff that DJ Harvey would play. When the guys start to sing "YOU GOT IT, BABYì - you can't remain quiet. This shit is rollin'. This cooperation might sound weird to some, but it comes quite natural: Rebolledo and Munk have a long time Ñhistoryì. Rebolledo has been a Munk fan since the beginning. Dropping Munk & James Murphy's ÑKick Out The Chairsì song and Munk's Aperitivo album on his mexican partys years ago. While Mathias has been djing a lot in Mexico the last years ñ expecially in Rebolledo's club Topaz de Luxe. Musically they have a similar history ñ but showing different shades. It's was time to do a Pachanga Gomma clash.

Telonius will release his debut album on Gomma in the end of August. And seems there is quite a buzz about it already. The last Telonius single 'Old Toy' got props from people like Kolombo, The Magician, Tensnake, Maxxi Soundsystem, Andre Crom, Zombie Disco Squad and we are quite sure that this next single will get even better feedback.This track is quite special. The sound is not comparable to most of the common house tracks around at the moment. This is not made with the standard sound library. It sounds much finer. With well chosen instrumentation. A deep funky bassline with a pushy, straight rolling beat is the fundament to some beautiful flutes and strings and some melancholic vocals. It's house, but it's more. Disco, New wave? The single comes with 2 remixes by Berlin top dog Tigerskin and Audiojack's partner Nolan.

Mr. Munk is back! Having released nothing since 2 years - now he comes back with Misterio: an ousider house bomb that sounds like the perfect follow-up to his last album's hit La Musica. Misterio starts like a "normal" house tune. Based on fat house drums and a catchy bassline. But after the intro it turns into crazy new wave funk. New York early 80ies style. Fucked up guitars and a guy shouting in Brazilian, Spanish and English languages. Mat Munk (aka Gomma records' co-boss Mathias Modica) recorded this tune last summer in Berlin and Porto Allegre/Brazil. The voice comes from Brazilian DJ Gab Cevallos. The track has been mixed and co - produced by Mark Ralph. (Hot Chip, Jamie Jones). Also the remixes are the bomb! Severino from London's Horse Meat Disco made the perfect summer dancefloor shaker. And PBR Streetgang's Bonar Blackberry's version is perfect for fans of the new UK House vibes. This single is great! Greater! People will scream. Promise!

Gomma has been releasing new kinds of House inspired music since 2005. Trying never to be too obvious, cheesy, but adding a unique approach to the music by strictly avoiding clishees. The new Telonius single is no exception to this philosophy: After his last year's hits (Now / Control) Jonas Imbery aka Telonius now shows his production skills again. This is electronic production on a very high level. With quite unusual sounds and very complex instrumentation Telonius created a song that works equally at peaktime on an advanced dancefloor as on electronic pop radio charts. It's the first release of the upcoming Telonius album. (Release Aug 2013). And you can be sure that there is some more hot stuff to come. Remixes come courtesy of two Italians: Upcoming producer Ricardo Baez and Stefano Ritteri - who has been releasing stuff as SOLO on Dirtybird, Exploited and Sound Pellegrino.

The single kicks off with the ‘House mix’ of ‘Underneath the Pines’, a bubbling, moog bass driven electronic workout that layers ethereal synth parts and skittering percussion beneath Robertson’s emotive vocals. The ‘House mix’ is followed by the ‘Club mix’ which sees things taken in a techy, electronic direction with an intense warehouse feel to it. The remixes come courtesy of Ewan Pearson and Disco Bloodbath with both producers offering up two versions. Ewan Pearson’s remix sees the highly respected producer deliver a richly produced, breakbeat fuelled mix that provides a perfect soundbed for the vocals, whilst his instrumental version sees additional synth lines filling out the mix. Disco Bloodbath also offer up a dub and vocal mix, both of which reflect a superb, shuffling electro disco sound, with the former featuring some old school vocal snippet samples, quality stuff.

The Barking Dogs, - Ebony
Italian DJ/producers Cristian Croce and Nicola Mazzetti AKA The Barking Dogs have been building an enviable reputation over the past 5 years. Releasing music through their own Barking Dogs label, running their own Discosafari nights and touring as DJ’s, they have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The pair are also the owner of one of Milan’s leading record stores Serendeepity. The follow up EP on Gomma kicks off with title track ‘Your High’ and sees The Barking Dogs team up with Rush Hour artist Tom Trago for a wonderfully off kilter slice of electronic music. Warm bass, heavily delayed claps and skittering percussion work around subtle vocal edits, abstract piano chords and sonic sweeps to wonderful effect and create a record that has a truly unique feel. The original is backed up with a remix from Italy’s The Analogue Cops who create a mix that is a wonderful fusion of live elements and techno sensibilities, sublime stuff. The EP is completed with two further original recordings, the bubbling acid techno/disco of ‘Margherita’ which sees the boys melding acidic analogue lines with jazz inflected techno percussion and ‘Ebony’ which takes things on an interplanetary tangent with its bass driven, sci-fi brilliance.

Mercury are on fire. Already they are called the "new Swiss House Mafia".. with their brothers from Round Table Knights (on Made to Play) they are working on a new, funky, heavy energetic kind of house music. Here is Mercury's third single on Gomma. Three deep jams. Deeper then the last single. Paris House 1998.... and gospel percussion from the 20th century.... if you know what we mean...

There has been a lot of buzz about The KDMS lately. They have been described as the ’indie disco answer to Adele’. Swedish producer Axel Boman found a wonderful description: ’shimmering little diamonds in the autumn night’. Then a German journalist wrote: ‘The KDMS could be for the new underground disco scene what Moloko were for the late 90’s downbeat phenomena. A key band that connects current club music with great song writing and the unique voice of great Soul Diva’. Let's see. Right now they are the newcomers with great personality. Three singles out in two years have seen a prominent fan base growing rapidly, creating a good buzz in the electronic music world. Tensnake, Jaymo, Hot Chip are fans. Hot Chip even got involved in the album: Felix Martin did a remix for “Tonight”. Alexis Taylor and Justus Köhncke (Kompakt) are guests on the album. They made a bonus track: a hypnotic alternative version of ’Wonderman’.

The new Gomma 12" comes from two friends from Milano Italy. Cristian Croce and Nicola Mazzetti are The Barking Dogs since 2006: two djs with different musical backgrounds and solid experiences. They run famous record shop in Milan ìSerendeepity" and are known as party animals: their dj-sets spread the same energy and passion that they put in their musical research. Under their shop in the center of Milan they have a huge collection of vintage sinths and drum machines. They love this raw, dirty sound of the late 80ies. Big city grooves. They had a few releases: in 2008 ìRe-incantationî, a Balearic trip quickly sold-out in Europe, ìThe guitar manî ìHi-nrgî on Mad On The Moon.Their Rush hour single ìHit the ground/Fare una donna/Alibiî was quoted by 2ManyDjs, Horse Meat Disco, Trevor Jackson and many others. A nice Barking Dogs track was also part of last years ìItalo Now Compilationî on Gomma Records.

Mercury are on fire! Their second E.P. is still hot in the boxes of DJ's like Brodinski, Deetron, Round Table Knights, Phonique and Pedro Winter. And they already come with a third one. They asked one of their favorite singers in house music to join them and the result is more than just a burner. Mercury & Robert Owens "Candlelight" is a deep burner that won't leave your head. It's a super futuristic slow house jam with a tricky, unexpected beat and a harmonic change that makes you... let's say: cool down?

This whole text about a compilation of legit chill slippers could be over with one quote of drummer Aaron Sterling. The John Mayer band member and studio guru called Basso (our compiler) the „ECM of chill wave“.
As we all know, even if some words may be hollow, good quotes help to tell a story. And that is definitely a great quote and if someone has a good story to tell, it is Basso.
Best known for his label Growing Bin and probably even more so for the online record shop of the same name, he is one of those miraculous figures in music or record culture who can be called a true believer.
Helplessly addicted to collecting music nonstop (hence Growing Bin) from all corners of the spectrum and with an uncanny knack of finding precious little diamonds, where others only assume slop, his shop features everything from original trance tapes to fake reggae and plain private press folly. Much to the pleasure of his devoted customers and even more so to the nickel nursers who use his website for window shopping and go bargain hunting in the dusty canyons and wide plains of the internet. Unfair, you might think, because knowledge like that comes with a commitment. A commitment that is not only financial in nature, but also involves time, dedication, thrift store and flea market visits and hardships (lacerated cuticles especially).
Sitting in Trees for International Feel is a sampling demonstration of this commitment. Devotees of his previous compiling efforts Proper Sunburn (Music For Dreams) and Lucky Are Those Who Hear The Birds Sing (Growing Bin), know what to expect: some of the best songs you have never heard before, some you would probably never hear without this and even some that you did not know you would even like. Even self-proclaimed record diggers might not recognize more than Mystery Voice by smooth jazz new agers Dancing Fantasy. It is a world of merry music that pretty much is boundary- and genre-free and includes sunshine stepper like Beau Michael’s Move Away. Patrick Jahn’s and Erobique’s previously unreleased Moonlight Shuffle (the soundtrack to a lost Schimanski Tatort) and Christian Ch. Kneisel’s impossible-to-find Balearic digi gem Jungle Connection.
All contextualized, explained and wonderfully described with meticulous liner notes by the king
of record descriptions himself: Basso. But what else would you expect from a DJ turned trip-hop-producer turned artiste turned record sommelier? Magic moments galore that won’t make you move away!
Short: Legit chill slippers by the „ECM of chill wave“ by Growing Bin boss and record collector sommelier Basso. A world of merry music, precious little diamonds and impossible to find records. File under Balearic beats, smooth hardcore jazz, new age ambient or fake reggae.

Release Notes:
Coastlines is the self-titled long player from the new Japanese production unit of DJ and producer Masanori Ikeda and solo artist, session musician and Cro-Magnon keyboard player Takumi Kaneko.
Masanori and Takumi have been part of the Japanese dance music scene for years and Coastlines was born out of their working together on soundtracks for video projects. The pair wanted to make laid-back listening music for now, laying Takumi’s playful keys over Masanori’s widescreen balearic jazz-fusion to conjure beautiful and breathtaking “coastlines”.
A couple of two-track 7"s put out in late 2018 and early 2019 on Japanese house music label Flower Records soon sold out. Those four tracks were expanded to a full album of music, “a joyous, relaxing, summery soundtrack for everyone’s after hours wind down” that was released just in time for summer. It soundtracked many a Be With BBQ in 2019.
The album opens in the horizontal with the sophisticated, cocktails-by-the-pool groove of “Sunset Reflection”. A lush, beatless wonder. Their re-imagining of Ralph MacDonald’s “East Dry River” removes all the original’s bells and whistles (quite literally) and re-gears it with a subtle balearic chug. The result is a percussive gem.
“Coastline” is a beach-jazz noodle. “Drifting Ice” is as chilled and glacial as its title would suggest, yet Masanori’s head-nod slo-mo house beats throb not far below the surface. “My Fire” is another soft killer, all swelling, swirling organ over muted kicks and snares. An elegant boom-bap.
A pair of insistent tunes of the deeply balearic variety raise the tempo, but not by too much of course. On “Woods And My Guitar” a half-heard vocal refrain breathes life into the synthetic xylophone and guitar. Deft piano-work turns “Half Moon Shadow” into lounge-house for the sophisticated beach bum. A classy duo.
The self-assured re-work of Azymuth’s “Last Summer In Rio” is arguably the album’s centrepiece. Ten minutes of casually propulsive slapped bass, steel pans and slick 80s soul beats. Cue the steel drum interlude of “Maracas Bay” before album closer “Down Town” transitions us one with a shuffling, string-hinted hit of ethereal, euphoric piano bliss. Gentle disco for the new decade.
As former Test Pressing scribe Dr. Rob observed on his ever-reliable Ban Ban Ton Ton blog, the Coastlines fusion is very much in conversation with their 80s counterparts, both at home and along the coastlines of different continents. So among the nods to revered Japanese artists like Hiroshi Sato, Sakamoto and Casiopea, there are also hints of Marcos Valle and Mtume, of the aforementioned Azymuth. “The production though is very much now, not then. Not retro, just proper”. We couldn’t put it better ourselves.
Coastlines was originally a CD release only available in Japan, with HMV putting out a super-limited vinyl version a few months later for Japanese Record Store Day. But this music is just too good, so when Be With was asked via Ken Hidaka to take care of a vinyl version for the rest of the world it wasn’t a tough decision.
Mastered by Simon Francis and cut by Pete Norman, this magnificent double LP has been pressed by the good people at Record Industry.

Release Notes:
Balearic believers rejoice! Japanese tropical-fusioneers Coastlines are back with the worldwide vinyl release of Coastlines 2. The follow-up to their classic debut, this is the sound of Coastlines's global influences. If the dedication to intricate sonic details is particularly Japanese, the overarching feel captures the sprawling grandeur of the international balearic community. As they put it, Coastlines 2 presents "a more precise and beautifully polished magic hour." If that isn't Balearic, we don't know what is.
Takumi Kaneko and Masanori Ikeda don’t radically alter their sumptuous template with this second LP; and we wouldn't want them to. Yet with a more focused flow from first track to last, both Coastlines and Be With feel this is an even stronger album than their first. One thing that hasn't changed is the use of instrumentals instead of words to express their themes; namely, "the emotional expression of being soaked."
Opener "Tenderly" is appropriately titled, a gentle Latin shuffle easing you back into the Coastlines sound. An organ-heavy synthy exotica that's in step with Lovelock's contemporaneous "Washington Park". Their über-horizontal take on Hawkshaw & Bennett's "Mile High Swinger" (from Synthesiser And Percussion, reissued by Be With!) evokes cocktails-by-the-pool as the sun slowly sets. The blunted deep jazz-funk swing of "Alicia" is a rearranged reimagining of the Gabor Szabo song from his classic Jazz Raga LP. This here sounds like an outtake from The Chronic.
As the sun goes down, "Combustione Lenta" soundtracks the relaxing slow burn of an idyllic bonfire on an isolated beach. Displaying a beautiful new side of Coastlines, we're treated to Moments In Love vibes and melancholic guitar arcs. The piano-laden early morning wonder of "Night Cruise" started life as a completely different song, but the duo found a particularly good loop from the initial sketch and reconstructed it into this sophisticated 80s instrumental soul groove. "Waves And Rays" is all undulating acid waves and lighthouse light. A chopped and screwed steel drum G-Funk with soaring synths and nods toward the squelchy machine soul of Mtume and Jam & Lewis. Yes, *that* good.
The bouncy futureboogie cosmic chug of "Sky Island" represents the beginning of the sunrise, casting images of 80s Japanese fusion and definitely one to play out early doors to get the crowd stepping. "Area Code 868" is the strutting staccato sound of Joe Sample waking up in the Caribbean to craft his piano funk drenched in sunshine. Accordingly, the tentative, naive melodies of "Sand Steps" represent that vivid feeling first thing in the morning, as you step on to the sandy beach in the sunshine and take a deep breath. The world is yours.
The emotional, organ-piano-steel drum-driven "Song For My Mother" is a slo-mo show of sincere gratitude to all the great mothers. "Yasmin's Theme" is Coastlines's Brazilian homage, recalling for them that early summer feeling. It's propelled laconically by the carnival beat of batucada`s big bass surdo drum and complimented by sweeps of warm keys and radiant vocal harmonies. Blissful beatless closer "Asafuji" conjures a scene from a wonderful morning spent with the people of Shizuoka, the symbolic mountain of Japan, Mt Fuji and its inhabitants. It sounds like Dâm-FunK jamming with Sabres Of Paradise.
Coastlines 2 was painstakingly crafted, across the pandemic, at Masanori's rented place in Tokyo and then brought back to his home studio and worked on slowly and repeatedly. With limited time to see each other, the duo became more united in their "consciousness with natural progress."
Mastered by Simon Francis and cut by Cicely Balston at Air Studios, this magnificent double LP has been pressed by the good people at Record Industry.

Shortinfo:
Two years ago I played at Studio 9 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The following day I missed my flight home and ended up spending an extra day, which gave me a chance to explore the city with my friend Linus, who took me to the Contemporary Art Centre. It was there I spotted a book named 'Rojus', that Linus told me translated as 'Paradise'. The word and striking cover of the book stuck in my mind.
A few days after returning home, I turned on to a National Geographic documentary named 'Designed To Dance', explaining the courtship rituals of Birds Of Paradise. As I watched, i jokingly began drawing similarities between these birds' attempts to captivate and impress the opposite sex with dance, and the way strangers try to attract one another in clubs and interact on the dance floor.
This gave me the idea of creating a record of functional club music, sequenced as if it were a club night, from doors to closing, using samples of these Birds Of Paradise and their habitat. Thus, Rojus.

B3 : Kinda Knew Anna

B5 : More Rain In The Woods
Release Notes:
Three emotional years in the making, Be With and Efficient Space finally present Steve Hiett’s Girls In The Grass. Pressed alongside the long awaited reissue of his one-shot masterpiece Down On The Road By The Beach, these ten balearic soul instrumentals are of equal necessity; unrivalled beauty rescued from the fashion photographer-guitarist’s Paris Tapes (1986-1997).
While recordings unintended for release should often be approached with caution, this is a rare case of unheard material being assembled as an indispensable and coherent piece. Girls In The Grass is something super special. The light and shadow that defines Hiett’s music is arguably more compelling here. It speaks to us in a language that feels profound, yet entirely comforting and familiar.
Girls In The Grass reintroduces Hiett’s languid electric blues boogie, crafted on Saturday afternoons with fellow art director Simon Kentish. Kentish would cook, pour some wine and then utilise his arsenal of technology. He’d dial up a chugging rhythm, together with some ambient pads or keyboard textures, and anchor the weightless gauze of Hiett’s six-stringed touch.
Hiett’s guitar sings with the same clean, crisp tone as Down On The Road, animated by a carefree weekend groove. Unlike his defining album which was boiled under pressure, these subsequent sessions have all the time in the world. The naïve melodies chart a missing link between Vini Reilly’s ventures into electronica and Booker T, sounding like sun-warped takes on wordless, fractured non-hits from his heroes The Beach Boys.
Remastered for public pleasure by Simon Francis, these private moments are adorned with Hiett’s singular photography and feature typically idiosyncratic liner notes from Mikey IQ Jones.

Tracklist:
A. Magical Boy (Matthew Herbert's 'Not 'til It Stops Mix' feat. Rahel)
B. La Duquesa (Efdemin's Cose Cosi Mix)
Matthew Herbert vs. DJ Koze - take two! Yet another stroke of genius!
When these two troublemakers collide, the result is somehow always awesome. After the huge success of DJ Koze's remix for Matthew Herbert's classic "It's only" (#1 on the RA Charts for two consecutive months), Herbert insisted on returning the favor, delivering an instant classic for Kosi Kos. And what a track! His 10 minute remix for "Magical Boy" featuring Matthew Dear is indeed magical, fired by the fantastic and totally unexpected voice of singer Rahel, who transforms the track into a song and gives it a whole new drive. Even Matthew Dear briefly sends off a greeting from a passing cloud. A great spectacle from old master Matthew Herbert, goose bumps guaranteed.
Efdemin strikes back, hotter than ever!
In his remix for La Duquesa, the deep house legend delivers a deep, subtle, galactic, sound spectacle. These 8 minutes are a powerful cosmic trip with an elegant futuristic sound design, tons of heat and unexpected twists. When all the particles blast away after the break in the middle leaving only the dry beat and bass, the sedated closed-eyes dancers will wake up as the spaceship carves its way to infinity - and beyond. These days, only a badass like Efdemin can produce a sound like this.
