Back for more, Brooklyn duo Native underground drop the first Under the shade release of 2012. Remixes from Alphabet City, Ben Pearce and the production half of Native Underground, Son of Sound. More

The Brooklyn-based duo Native Underground is comprised of producer / DJ Son of Sound (Henry Maldonado) and recording artist Javi (Javi Silva). The duo came together in 2009 while Henry was auditioning singers that channeled the likes of Chaz Jankel, Peter Brown, Imagination and other falsetto-friendly male singers that once dominated the airwaves. Their debut EP entitled "Till It Hurts" was released in the fall of 2010 on Roy Dank's Wurst Music Co. 'Till It Hurts toes the post-New Wave and proto-freestyle axes, channeling the sweaty dance-floor madness at Jellybean Benitez's seminal Funhouse club, where Henry spent his formative years. Native Underground are constantly working on new material, and plan to take their music to stages both local and abroad in the near future. Here's a fresh slap of brilliant nex remixes by BRENNAN GREEN ( vocal and dub ) , IRON CURTIS and ULTRACITY More

Part III boasts contributions from Portland, Oregon's performance art and house music group The Miracles Club (following releases on Cut Copy's Cutters label and famed Mexican Summer), Wurst vet Nick Chacona - here with longtime partner Anthony Mansfield, and Neurotic Drum Band's Ulysses. The Miracles Club's "I Can't Help It" is a heart-wrenching, ethereal ballad set atop a rock solid, Chicago House-inspired rhythm section. Easily the deepest cut to emerge from the Nick Chacona and Anthony Mansfield's fun-filled studio sessions, "Tase the Wizard" is tailor made for desert raves and smoky basement clubs alike."Soular Power" sees Ulysses at the top of his talents, bringing the tempo way, way down for a slow-burning Balearic beast.

First of three parts of the first Wurst compilation with 10 new exclusive tracks alltogether. Part I boasts New York upstarts soho808, Lisbon legend Tiago, MERC alum Chicago Damn, and New Jersey outliers Pink Stallone. Following appearances on Soul Clap's Social Experiment 002 mix on No. 19 and Jamie Jones' Fabric 59 mix, soho808 land on Wurst with "Reach" feat. Safiyah, easily their most accomplished work to date, fusing their now-patented slow house sound with a little of the city's R&B swagger. Pink Stallone hooks up with Strictly Rhythm alum Joey Washington on "Help Yourself", a ridiculously nasty slice of future funk. Tiago gives "Peanuts Not Working" his I Am The Automan treatment, channeling the 80s cosmic sound for a driving dancefloor workout. Rounding out the EP is Chicago Damn's "Romcom", a smoky, subdued number, hinting at Detroit's beatdown sound with the man's now signature MPC moves.
