Tracklist:
A1 Native Cruise - Crew Talk

A3 Native Cruise - Fooled Again
B1 Native Cruise - Human Nature
B2 Native Cruise - Not Long Now
PRESS RELEASE:
We are happy to welcome UK-based producer Native Cruise on Slam City Jams. The
guy was on our radar since his releases on No Bad Days and Fruit Merchant that easily
combined house music with new-age synths, a wave/EBM touch and balearic sounds.
His „Human Nature“ EP is no exception with five outstanding tracks that differ in tempo
and vibe.
The opener „Crew Talk“ is a percussion heavy tune with lots of cowbells, a funky DX7
bass line, deep pads and dramatic chords that build up and up towards the end.
„Elsewhere" is the most housey track on this record, with four-to-the-floor 808s and
bittersweet strings that burst out into euphoria. Closing down the A-side is „Fooled
Again“, a balearic cut that feels like a day in the sun with it's little synth blips and arps.
On the flip we find the title track „Human Nature“ that might be the hidden jam on this
EP. Hard hitting Linn Drums, digital synth bells and those haunting vocals we can’t get
out of our heads. Finally we have „Not Long Now“ a perfectly atmospheric deep tune,
that sits somewhere between ambient and reggaeton and will make fans of DJ Python
more than happy. More

Tracklist:
A1 Manuel Darquart – Down 2 Dance
A2 Manuel Darquart – Cultivating Yucca
B1 Manuel Darquart – Prince Of The Rinse
B2 Manuel Darquart – Down 2 Dance (Tech Support Remix)
PRESS RELEASE:
For their 9th release Slam City Jams welcomes the fabulous Manuel Darquart to the family!
After brilliant releases on imprints like Wolf Music or Coastal Haze and recently getting remixed
by the Italo-House legend Don Carlos, we are happy to have the duo on the label with their
„Down 2 Dance“ EP. Originally from New Zealand but now living in London, Manuel Darquart
bless us with a record full of balearic bliss, backed with a dope remix by Tech Support.
We are kicking things off with the title track, a deep, yet uplifting Italo-House tune: „Down 2
Dance“ is full of sweet chords, perfectly cheesy sax stabs and this catchy vocal cuts we just
can’t get out of our head. On „Cultivating Yucca“ Manuel Darquart maintains the Italian vibe but
gets even more balearic with warm pads, some muted trumpets and of course: The slight
sound of the ocean.
On the flip things get interesting with „Prince Of The Rinse“: Distorted 808s paired with a funky
lead that builds up steadily and finally dissolves into a wonderful synth solo. A tune that
reminds of the early Funkineven on Apron Records. To round this record off, we invited
Londons finest Tech Support to give the title track his remix treatment: He added his signature
80s sound to the original and perfecftly stripped back the tune to its essentials, with gated
snare drums and little synth blips. What more can you ask for?! More

Tracks:
A1 Satisfaction & Clarity
A2 Soul Out Of Time (Loop Dreamz)
B1 Open Heart
B2 In Search Of Darryl P
Slam City Jams is back with its sixth release and welcomes a new face to the label: the
mysterious producer, Westcoast Goddess, with his „Soul Out Of Time” EP.
After releases on Shanti Celeste’s Peach Discs (under his Videopath moniker) and Canada
based Heart To Heart Records, this guy caught our attention with his amazing analog take
on house music.
Written and produced between 2002 and 2018, this record contains everything house music
heads could wish for:
Sweet chords and strings, topped with heavy 909s, plus a cheeky little vocal shot on
„Satisfaction & Clarity”. Title track „Soul Out Of Time” sounds like a late night drive with the
top down. Meaning - shiny bells, swinging 80s drums, a funked up bass line and Balearic
breaks. The B-side kicks things off with “Open Heart”. A sample-based house tune, heavy on
the low end and super sweet on the tops, with Rhode pianos and catchy guitar licks. The EP
comes to an end with „In Search Of Darryl P”: A perfect track for the late hours, when those
trancey synths and euphoric strings go on and on... till the first rays of dawn! More

Tracklist:
A1 Wave 100
A2 Sparkle
B1 Love Lane
B2 Moon Bells
B3 Over Europe (Space Mix)
INFO (SHORT)
Label head honchos Rhode & Brown finally debut on their own imprint, Slam City Jams, after
putting out music on fellow labels Toy Tonics and Public Possession. Produced over the past two
years, the Wave 100 EP might be the most versatile record by the Munich-based fellas so far.
On the title track we have an euphoric hint of 80s synth nostalgia, slapped bass and banging
woodsticks (did someone say Safri Duo?!). “Sparkle” on A2 feels like the joy of a fresh breeze on
hot summer days whilst living la vida loca in the clouds - b/w phat bass, sweet flutes & strings.
On the flip there is “Love Lane”, a classic house track with a funked up bassline, shuffling snares
and the most erotic vocal in human history. “Moon Bells” on B2 is the soundtrack to that road
trip you did back in 86’ with a Juno 106 arpeggiator bassline, percussive drums and airy synths
all around. “Over Europe” on B3 rounds off this special 5-tracker with beautiful ambient spheres
straight from outta space. More
