Ever-prolific, ever-consistent Colombian producer Felipe Gordon returns to the RNT catalog for his 3rd EP. It’s a signature FG affair, from start to finish with deep jazz house chuggers like Homage to Bossa and Flutes of Gold, to the wistful and mysterious energy of Beside Me and the arpeggiated synth stomper Acid Party at Santa Barbara. An absolutely standout record with gorgeous jacket art to boot…buy on sight! More

Errare Humanum Est comes from the Latin proverb "To err is human" as a musician and a human-being, you are constantly facing "mistakes" on your compositional work and your instrumental interpretation, Felipe Gordon presents his second conceptual album under this premise, you should accept and make mistakes as a crucial part of art and life. During late 2022 and beginning of 2023, the musician and producer worked on a new long play in his home studio "El Dorado" in Bogot?, Colombia. Trying to create a whole new concept and universe he re-visited some forgotten musical sketches, going from breakbeats, synthesis, boom bap, deep acid and house music Felipe presents us his new album, a melting pot of musical ideas, again not trying to achieve a club track filled long play but a whole listening experience, not focusing only on dancing matters but also on every day musical enjoyment. With the forward-thinking distribution and collaboration from the Rotterdam based power house, Clone Records and looking for a way to create a more independent environment for his releases, Felipe is creating his own "Wide Awake", a new record label focused only on sharing and creating a platform for his constant output. As in "A Landscape Onomatopeya" (Felipe's first LP) Primer Ocaso took over the editorial design on their talented hands, creating an amazing Gatefold 2X12'' - 140 Gr Solid White Album edition More

FELIPE GORDON has been on a pretty epic roll lately with releases on SHALL NOT FADE, TOY TONICS, and RAZOR-N-TAPE among others. His 3 track debut on Brooklyn's TOUCAN SOUNDS featuring a spacey & chilled remix from GLENN UNDERGROUND that keeps with that pattern of superb output. Don't sleep. More

The follow up for the instant classic Impresiones Acidas from 2022. Felipe again lends his fusion sensibilities to infectious grooves to create a modern version of the golden age of house music. With non other than Kai Alce on remix duties on the title track. Tip!!! More

Colombian multi-talent (Musician, producer and dj) Felipe Gordon isup next on the Clone Royal Oak Series! 4 classy deep house cuts that land in that sweet spot of the deeper, jazz infused stylings of Chicago and even a bit of the catchy French House vibes of the mid 90's. Felipe takes these influences and expertly crafts irresistible grooves and sounds into a modern take on house music. More

One of the keys to Nervous’ longevity has been our willingness to take chances on new producers and new sounds. As long as a track contains the essence of House, we encourage producers to experiment with combining House with other musical genres. And if the results are creative and fruitful enough we are always ready, willing and able to create a new sub label and logo to go along with a fresh sound. In the 90’s we felt a movement toward House being juiced with Jazz elements and we created the Nervous Chill Sub-label. Now all these years later we are once again seeing a new appreciation for the sounds, flow and energy of Jazz on the part of some of the world’s premier House Music Producers, and so we are embarking on a re-launch of the Nervous Chill imprint. Onboard for the re-launch is the very talented and dynamic producer Felipe Gordon with the two tracks “Elisa” and “Resonant.” Both songs feature the legendary musician Paul Shapiro, who has played a key musical role in many of House Music’s most celebrated tunes including “The Whistle Song” for which he supplied the eponymous “whistle.” “Elisa” features an uplifting and bouncy rhythmic vibe that’s topped and energized with Paul’s jazzy flute, while “Resonant” has a deeper and slightly more aggressive tone that’s propelled with Paul hypnotic and free wheeling sax instrumentation.

Comprising DJs Hugo Mendez and Frankie Francis alongside The Might Crime Minister, Sofrito has become one of the leading party collectives in the field of Afro, Caribbean and Latin music over the last
three years. From their legendary Tropical Warehouse parties in East London to the clubs and bars of Brooklyn, from beach parties in Greece to festivals and clubs across Europe including WOMAD and
the Big Chill, Sofrito has brought it’s own unique and accessible mix of styles to the world’s dancefloors. Previous guests include Manu Dibango, the Poets of Rhythm, the Souljazz Orchestra, Quantic,
Nickodemus and Nappy G (Turntables on the Hudson), Tropical Treats Soundsystem and Natural Self. With regular releases during the last two years, the Sofrito Specials label champions the Tropical Discotheque sound – mixing up raw Afro flavours with Disco and Latin rhythms. It’s less “world music”, more about some of the best dance music ever made. Their debut compilation for Strut mixes up amazing old and new sounds from cumbia and Congolese guitar grooves to highlife, calypso and descarga for a unique album - a deep selection but an immediate party soundtrack for the casual listener.

The funk, the funk and THEEE FUNK!!
Transcend oneself from the realm of what you know and feel
all that the groove can heal within you.
When the honorary P-Funk hits you ask ‘What You Gonna Say?’
meanwhile the A side ‘Vector Smector’ has the boogie stance
in affect whilst the island percussion simmers with a jazz lean.
SHOKAZULU will protect you. More

PANORAMA Records is thrilled to announce the reissue of 'Salsa Na Ma' by the legendary Colombian band Fruko Y Sus Tesos. Known for their infectious rhythms and vibrant energy, this track captures the essence of salsa with a dynamic blend of percussion, horns, and vocals. Originally released in 1973, 'Salsa Na Ma' is a timeless classic that continues to ignite dancefloors, with the B Side 'El Preso' originally released in 1976, pairing nicely here.

This limited 7 inch release of 'Salsa Na Ma' comes remastered and packaged in a vintage-styled sleeve, complete with a handstamp for an authentic feel, as if you found it in a dusty crate in Bogotá.

The label has garnered serious support from a stellar lineup of tastemakers and selectors in just the first 2 releases, including Patrick Forge, Rainer Trüby, Gilles Peterson, Zag Erlat, and more. This reissue is a must-have for collectors and dj's, promising to deliver a heavy dancefloor reaction. Don't miss out as Panorama Records continues to set the standard for quality reissues in the music world. More

As with most things, this project started with a conversation in the pub between me and Martin.

As we discussed what J-Walk and BiD could do next we chatted about our mutual love of DIY, Post Punk, Reggae, Digital & Dub, how about using that feel as an initial jump off on the next thing and see how you get on? I suggested.
As is his way Martin considered the suggestion, then promptly disappeared, 6 weeks later something landed in my inbox, it was titled Broken Beauty and the music contained embraced all those symbiotic ideals and culture.
Nailed it!

Recorded entirely in Stockport using a mixed kit bag of cheap forgotten keyboards, guitar, bass and effects pedals, this LP takes the J-Walk aesthetic and applies the wider palette of these influences to create something unique, those past and present influences forged together to bring you something truly DIY - instructions below.
How To Make Such A Thing...

Deactivate social media. Ignore the internet, don't answer text messages, avoid other music, the telly and other people. This is a process where it's only you in the room with whatever's in your mind. You will be there for some time and the loneliness can hurt a little.

Forget any predetermined ideas. Forget everything you've ever done before. This is an opportunity to start from scratch, but with years of accumulated knowledge and craftsmanship. Trust yourself.
Be scared. Be excited about not knowing what will happen and what will result.

Don't use midi sequencing, virtual instruments or samples. Just plug a toy instrument into an amp, press a rhythm and play around to see what happens. If it sounds good and fresh then record it. Plug a bass in to jam around and you'll soon hear and feel what sits in the pocket of the beat. Record it as it is. Dirty is real and good. Cleanliness equals sterility. Loop the bassline. Plug a guitar in and do the same.

Don't think when doing any of this. Just experiment with interest and curiosity and the music will take care of itself. You will now have a groove which is also about half a song minimum. Play some keys from the toys on top of what you have. Put 'em through effects pedals. Again, don't overthink it and don't try to get it clean. Add sound effects in right and random places.

There you go. Something you've never made before. But more importantly, it's something you've never heard before.

You don't have to die to be reincarnated.

BROKEN BEAUTY...You can't be either without also having been the other. More

Marc Mac's Visioneers project returns after a long anticipated wait with a summary of everything we've loved about the project and more. The classic Hip Hop joints reimagined, BBOY bombs and the super-fly Jazz n' funky lounge originals have all become Visioneers trademarks. The record has you sitting back chilling and head nodding for one song and wanting to jump up and bust a move on another. The addition of guest musicians from all parts of the globe brings another dimension to the grooves and compositions. A very dope welcomed return for the Visioneers. More
