At the forefront of the new wave of artists rising from the French underground scene, Parisian hit maker Andrade makes his debut release on One Records with the sensually smooth and solid dance floor bomb, 'Sweet Disposition'. Over on the B Side fellow Frenchman Terence :Terry takes the reins to inject his signature groove while Ibiza residents Acid Mondays round off the package perfectly with a remix that offers everything we are coming to expect from the talented duo. Heading up the A-side, 'Sweet Disposition' masterfully combines a sense of class with stunning synths and subtle samples referencing the prolific scene apparent in 1980s New York, with particular mention of the legendary pioneer Larry Lavan. Melodic keys, deep chords and flowing synths roll across pulsating beats as the track skilfully builds in to a dramatic and somewhat hypnotic affair. Olivier Andrade aka Andrade first made a name for himself through his impressive DJ skills and early releases, fast gaining support from the likes of D'julz, Delano Smith and Ralph Lawson. With releases already on Bass Culture, Poker Flat and Dessous, Andrade is going to shoot straight into the limelight in 2014 being the first non-detroit based artist to release on Delano Smith's MixMode. If that wasn't enough he also has releases lined up on Illusion Recordings, Dessous Recordings, Karat and his own label, Street Knowledge. La Vie En Rose boss Terence :Terry also makes his first appearance on the label with his remix of 'Sweet Disposition' taking things deeper with a powerful low end, complimented perfectly with trippy FX and a clever play on the vocal. Attending the first raves in Paris, Terence holds a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to DJing and producing having played everywhere from DC10 to Panorama Bar with releases on the likes of Freak N' Chic, 2020 Vision, Robsoul and 1trax. Last up, Acid Mondays aka Negghead and Lex Wolf bring their high energy and unique sound to the label with their remix. Having had impressive debut EPs drop on Illusion Recordings, Contemporary Scarecrow & Deep Vibes with support from the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, tINI and Loco Dice, it's no doubt 2014 is set to be big for the dynamic duo with a string of more exciting releases on the way.

Over the past few years we have seen a surge of artists, music and labels coming out of Romania and, whilst not seen as a traditional hotbed of House Music, this new wave of movers and shakers are working together to create their own lasting musical legacy. The latest in the busy line of producers is 22 year old Bacau born, Marcman. Behind the decks at 14 and studying his art from 18 the young man with a love for angry kicks and heavy baselines has already graced the likes of Quanticman, Plant 74 and Esperanza with his music. Now he's set to join the Bass Culture family as he presents his debut release for the label the "In Trecere" ep. "I was actually sent some Marcman tracks about a year ago by Franco Cinelli" says Bass Culture label chief D'Julz. "I instantly loved his beats and groove and i played them immediately on the Circoloco terrace. I got in touch and asked him to work on an ep for Bass Culture. I specifically wanted it for this summer because his beats are exactly what i love to play in Ibiza." Marcman's 4 track "In Trecere" ep sees him sandwiching the deep dubby sounds of "Rutina" and the percussive guitar licked "Dansand", with the Chicago'esque numbers "Levier" and "In Trecere."

In recent years Spanish producer Baldo has built a great style and following in the modern house scene, catching the attention of Andrade who has recruited him for this fantastic new five tracker EP called "Far Away". With a well developed sensitivity, Baldo has featured a sensual combination of house and susceptible feelings to create an outstanding and very special cocktail. Three crisply produced tracks likely to spoil the senses with delicate melodies and bass-driven sound. The music speaks for itself. Once again we welcome our friends on the remixes. Hold Youth main man, Le Loup, the protagonist of the Paris scene and known for his releases for Wolf+Lamb, Eklo and Fragil, re-creates a dubby version of In The Crowd, setting an impressive atmosphere and deeper experience. Last but not least, we welcome John Dimas (Bass Culture, Claap, Dame Music) who introduces a darker approach for the dance floor with his acid house tool remake of Glass Table. Feedbacks: Alland Byallo – “Really great EP. Glass Table and Leo's mix are my favorite, but it's hard to pick. Every cut here is the jammmmmm.” Christopher Rau – “Yes this is nice, I’m especially feeling the Le Loup Remix.” Gerd – “Wow very nice deep house trax! I love how In The Crowd builds and explodes with these acidic vibes at the end. Baldo proves to be a good producer once again. Well done!” Agoria – “Great vibes and groove on the original of In The Crowd, cool and sexy house music!” Raresh – “The John Dimas mix holds the most for me.. gonna try it out!” Alex Barck – (Jazzanova) – “Such a beautiful and rich EP. Really like this.” Joris Voorn – “Summer's here, even though it's still snowing..?Great house EP guys!” Joel Alter – “Both versions of Baldo’s In The Crowd are really nice! I’ll be playing!” Chris Carrier – “Another good remix from Le Loup!! That’s the mix for me. Supporting!” Sebo K – “This is such an excellent package of music!! I’ll be playing!” Tom Middleton – “Great retro style and production. In The Crowd and Glass Table are winners for me!”

For this second release the new Parisian label Street Knowledge choose to produce two young native Italians Djs. Peter JD and Francys met in a small city in the south of Italy, both evolving on the music scene since they’re 14. Peter is bringing the « Detroit house music » touch whereas Francys the 80’S 90’s music sound. From this collaboration is born the « Connection » Ep (« 28 Miles », « Not so Far »). Where two different worlds find each other in a common space, Connection Ep brings different ideas of sound at the same time, by one side following a dry techno line with pumping drums and solid grooves, by the other side warmer and deeper, crossing hypnotic Detroit flavored synths, Chicago house, organic elements and chromatic female vocals.
To make this release totally international Jenifa Mayanja from Connecticut and the Greek Quell are delivering two remixes that should make a bomb effect on all the dance floors. Added to this release a deep and classy remix from two new comers from Paris Siler & Dima
