The inimitable Dr San Proper returns with his second album Ferotones following up his debut 2012 long play smasher Animal (on Rush Hour). It’s been a tumultuous and colorful journey since, and although the sound might have changed, San still delivers a collection of songs off the cuff and straight from the heart.

The eight tracks collected here are odes to lost love, as San tries to win back the heart of that very special someone. Penned deep in the pit of emotion, San recorded the songs in only a handful of sessions. With the assistance of Amsterdam stalwart and Safe Trip regular Darling, San could lean more towards the wavey guitar sounds and danceable disco workouts he had in mind.

“The songs just came out this way,” he says. Raw and honest, while at the same time lying through his teeth. “If you check the lyrics, I’m promising my girl the world, even though I never deliver.” And that’s the conundrum at the core of this record - challenged but aware of it, San celebrates the faults just as much as the blessings, before embarking on the long, healing journey back to love.

San Proper gushing on DG..small initial pressing on this one... be quick... TIP! San: “Lovers, friends, fam. and fans – Love is in the air, get ready.” Finally, the craze you’ve all been waiting for.

L.O.V.E. is a collaboration with Ms. Hollywood. An alliance that results in the whole breathing sexy and deep. Whereas San Proper stays in character for the rest of the EP. His use of the reverb adds shine and glory, and the drums are hit hard. In other words, music with an unprecedented character–just the way we like it.

San Proper is the real deal. Somewhat of a street legend even.. Ask anyone crossed paths with him and you will hear the wildest stories. This might be his debut album, but make no mistake, Proper is a hardcore DJ veteran, starting his career DJ'ing small-time gigs in the shadiest bars, six nights a week. True love for music and his unbreakable optimism kept him in the groove. His enthusiasm caught on and slowly but surely he garnered a devoted following. In 2007 he released his first releases for Rush Hour, but his big break came in 2009 when he dropped his now classic single 'Keep It Raw' for Perlon and shot to #1 in Germany's Groove Magazine Top 50. More singles followed and his profile of a must see DJ and pure bred entertainer rose, touring and creating cult followings everywhere from the Japan to South America. Dr. Proper has never been in a hurry, but in the fall of 2011 the time felt right for San to start working on his debut album. Months of rampaging studio sessions followed, writing tracks all over the globe during his frantic touring schedule or in his Amsterdam studio and Paris apartment. The journey finished in Berlin, where he ended up in the studio of Proper believer Ricardo Villalobos who eventually mixed the album, ensuring audiophile bliss. The result is the trippiest of trips. Taking you on a journey inside the twisted brain of a man who has seen it all, and then some, boasting raw emotion and subconscious desires. 'Animal' has its roots in house music, but you will have a hard time categorizing this beast, sounding like a cluster bomb of electronic funk, jazz and psychedelia. Like any good trip there will be some highs and some lows, but man, what a ride... More

San Proper vocalising.....comes with a Jacques Renault Remix The label say: " Some think freedom comes with a price, others say freedom is a prize.

One might feel cornered by such issues... David Olivier Nerbl a.k.a. D.O.N. & Dr. San Proper wrote and recorded a sarcastic song last summer which might give some relief. If not, check out Jacques Renault's remix. One love for freedom." More

Cool new Ratio? with a surprise Doc Martin remix...! About one year ago Melon met two old friends from Amsterdam lying on the streets of Berlin who gave him an old fashion tape. Out of respect of his (now homeless junkies) friends he borrowed an old tape deck and gave it a listen. He really liked the track but unfortunately he never found his friends again when he went out looking for them. After playing it for months and getting massive feedback the decision has been made to put it out and complimented with two fantastic remixes by California house legend Doc Martin & newcomer Tom Ruijg from Amsterdam, it’s now available for everybody. P.S. guys I owe you a fix! More

Side A: “Fall” is the seasons that marks the transition from summer into winter, when the arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier. A time when nature blooms once again into beautiful red and brown colors before losing its fur and colder air penetrates our hemisphere. Side B: TJ Kong & Nuno Dos Santos (Compost) take us further into the night with an epic dance floor mix driven by a killer bassline and a storm of lucid skies. Side C: “Winter” is a transition into even darker and colder times, when days are at its shortest, accompanied with beautiful snowfall and warmth that winter also offers. While the sun is at its lowest position and blinds our eyes, we reach the longest night, a sign that warmer times are ahead. Side D: Although San Proper & Melon have been working together for years, this is San’s first delivery for Ratio?music. San takes us deep into a mid-winter night and tells us that it’s never too hot or too cold to party! More
