A slick techy dance-floor banger featuring the sultry tones of US Vocalist ‘Brutha Basil’.

Hand Made has been a go-to number from Abel’s well-received ‘Cosmic Law’ album. Taking a deeper and much more techy approach to sound design, Abel and Atjazz enlisted the brilliant ‘Brutha Basil’ to lay down some truth about ‘doing this music thing for the right reasons’. With some incredible remixes from Peacey who swipes things up to a new energy level, Rocco Rodamaal whose punchy re-work takes us way back to NYC’s early days of house music, and South Beach Recycling’s Chicago and Detroit-inspired late-night groover. This is one of those releases that will stay on target for a long time, no doubt! More

It might be his debut album, yet Peacey’s “Play It By Ear” is a body of work crafted as though by a scholar. And where better for this work to emerge from than Derby, UK’s Atjazz Record Company, a label with a rich heritage and many strings to its bow?

This eclectic sonic journal catalogues the evolution of Peacey, documenting his interactions with, and influences from, some of dance music’s notable players. It’s an album that will attract discerning ears and open minds; minds attuned to a multitude of genres as it visits Hip Hop, R&B, House, Garage and Fusion.

'Culture Bandit' is the 2nd single taken from this colossal album, and gives us a great understanding that Peacey really knows where to hit it! It’s a deep banger of course, with a hint of tech-house, deep-house and even the more percussive side of afro-latin house, but with the electrifying vocals of Vanessa Hidary atop, this will go down in history as “One of those tunes”. To say this song has life is an understatement. So we’ve covered that, did we mention that Osunlade & Atjazz have also remixed this killer slice? Ah, well they have, and they join Peacey on this pristine release to give alternative angles on this wild, spoken and edgy outing. More

A2 – Phoenix
B1 - Alone (Together) [po-lar-i-ty Remix]
B2 - Alone (Together) [Tool]

Fred Everything isn’t a name one tends to throw around willy-nilly. Fred’s contributions to the world of dance music can’t be measured and his ability to continually roll out quality music is unmatched in his field. A dear label brother to us here at ARCo. We’re always overjoyed to have the rare opportunity to release his solo creations to the world.

'Alone (Together)' is electronic but rather organic and reflects the origins of Fred’s work. Sounding super-classic Fred weaves his arrangements in and out and throws drop after drop into the mix. 'Phoenix' is a little flipped in style, although still retaining the classic sound Fred has become known for, the beautiful cascading chord sequence takes you away and makes for a gorgeous listening experience.

Things just got real, po-lar-i-ty stepped in for remix detail! Yes, Osunlade & Burlie Mac in their newly found togetherness have flipped the script completely here, as they inject even more class to this already gleaming release. Their version bounces freely around a vocal loop, glissando harp flourishes, and swept lush chords.

Really classy deep-house gear to get your ears around More

Jullian Gomes returns with the second single from his 'Slow Poison' album and this time he brings in the heavy weights of house!

‘Stay’ which features the incredible voice of ZAKI IBRAHIM is a smooth cut but don't let that fool you as this also works perfectly mid set. Usual bumpy grooves & lush backing delivers the original Jullian's unique touch.

Remix team... OSUNLADE / FRED EVERYTHING / DJ SPINNA. Yep, all three of them on one slice of plastic makes for a 12" you can keep in your box for all occasions. Top drawer work from all three remixers as you would expect.

Soul-infused broken beat from Clyde via Atjazz Record Company that captures the spark of the early Bruk scene and gives it a magnetising new interpretation. Vibing keys that dance around plucked bass notes, impassioned, expressive vocals that worm their way through your brain and down into your body, ‘Roll Of The Beast’ lights up a collective spirit that is sure to make this a future classic.
Atjazz takes to the Rhodes for his remix, laying down an infectious melody mirrored by the bass that’s put on top of a fresh set of drums. Combined it gives a distinct edge to the track, keeping all the energy of the original but reworking it through the eyes and ears of label head, Atjazz. An instrumental version of his remix that lets the music do the talking rounds off the release.
Vinyl only – be quick!

Following up the release of Atjazz & Jullian Gomes’ warmly received album ‘Big Bad Crazy’, the guys brought in House Music’s remix hero ‘Karizma’ to re-imagine one of the favoured album cuts ‘Love Me’.
Under his ‘Kaytronik’ moniker, Baltimore’s beat-master loads up a rather subby floor workout with his iconic signature production style. As the first kick drops, it's unmistakably Kaytronik at the controls as he dubs out this intricate number to create something of wonder, producing a large & well polished USA sonic with incredible edge & bite.
This limited 12” contains 2 massive versions and should not be missed. More

Following on 5 years after their exceptional debut collaboration “The Gift The Curse”, Atjazz & Jullian Gomes hit a home run with this incredible collection of audio artwork.
Their new album “Big Bad Crazy” points out the broken state of our world, and on the flipside the ongoing struggle to make it through the pain. A truly inspirational & original work from these well respected creative’s.
Part two of this two-part album sampler kicks off with ‘Decoded’ layering a dynamic and deep synth melody with echoing arps and blissed out guitar samples. ‘Don Esquire’ follows up twisting and turning vocal refrains amongst an emotionally charged concoction of synth stabs and cosmic bleeps.
On the flip side, ‘Love Me’ delves into more techno territory, resonating and reverberating elements round the depths of the mind, to induce a hypnotic state of awe. The final track ‘Empty Paradise’ evokes distant memories from the past, combining dusty drum samples, hazy piano melodies and those dreamlike vocals that echo off into the ether.
Here’s to hoping that it’s not another 5 years before Atjazz & Jullian Gomes choose to collaborate once more.

Atjazz Record Company is pleased to welcome back prolific artist and dapper gent Fred Everything. From Canada to the UK, this skillful and ever-present producer brings over 20 years of talent and experience to bear on this exciting new release. We delve into the offering firstly with the titular track: O. A soft and muted start slowly builds up into a fizzy melodic vibe that is undercut with a tasty bass riff. As the track drives on, the harmonies continue to build until they crescendo with a dreamy high-end hook juxtaposed with stippled sour characters. Then Mr ARCo. himself, Atjazz, enters the fray with the Galaxy Aart Remix. Staccato rhythms and active bass notes combine with engaging pops of synth to further illustrate Atjazz's mastering of his craft. We follow this with Her, a meaty beats and bass orgy that effortlessly builds into a shimmering and crystalline cut. This track perfectly showcases Fred's commitment to quality legitimate music and you will not be disappointed! We conclude with the shorter and sharper Devil In The Dub remix where only the lightest of tweaks and touches is applied, but this brings a fresh and compelling sound to an already impressive track.
