Books returns to XVI with three outstanding jazz infused cuts, custom built for the dance and pressed to wax for our third vinyl offering. Feel It In My Bones” sees the North London based producer channeling ancient voodoo magic, crafting a smokey, vintage, heavily percussive show stopper. Accompanied by the mysterious Zodiac on vocals, whose falsetto notes (when mixed with a saxophone solo in the light of the full moon) raise a relentlessly soulful and driving floor-filler from it’s resting place deep beneath the ground. “Dana’s Groove” begins to summon spiritual visitors from dance floors throughout history for one last ghostly get down, before culminating in the soaring “Memphis” bringing the vinyl to a uplifting yet haunting close.

INFO

The third compilation EP to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment is [Coastal Haze] under the umbrella of [Church], an up-and-coming duo from New Zealand, Manuel Darquart, released on [Wolf Music] and others. The long-awaited first vinyl version of the popular song released digitally only in 2016. The dense sound world with a wide range, including the impressive synth bass that penetrates the song, is unique to vinyl release. Including mastering by Mr. KUNIYUKI, this work that realized a thick groove that is different from the time of digital sound source, there is no doubt that it will shake the entire space.

The up-and-coming French beatdown house S3A, whose long-awaited first album from [Dirt Crew] was well received. It's no wonder that he grew up listening to Detroit house, and his unique sense of exquisite combination of sleezy beats, muffled texture and breathing such as disco funk is an excellent work. The space is gradually filled with layers of euphoria that folds down, and the feeling of exhilaration and sophistication is irresistible!

KUNIYUKI is in charge of mastering
