As the year progresses, Apollonia keeps up its steady release schedule with a delightful new EP from Swiss alchemist, Alci. The young producer has already made an impact with some tre cool releases with labels like Robsoul, owned by Paris rudeboy, Phil Weeks. Now we have this sublime three-tracker landing on Apollonia and it’s serious…The EP gets moving with a track called ‘Garden Of Buddha’ which is a perfect example of Alci’s ability to cook up strange sounds while keeping it groovy and dance floor-friendly. ‘All Bun’ follows with more of the same; original flavours, minimal composition, with deep, catchy rhythms and vocal clips. ‘Traveling Soul’ closes things up neatly, giving us an enchanting collection of effects with a pulsating bassline that will have you gripped from the moment it appears. Another step forward for Alci and another diamond release from the Apollonia team… More

Repress!

Following the recent dip into the theo parrish archives that was the twin cities, Phil Weeks' Robsoul imprint looks to another one of Detroit's adopted sons in the form of Rick Wade. Like that recent Parrish reissue, Weeks re-releases another three tracks from wade's bulging discography. The upbeat disco loops of "Players Theme" was originally released on French label Funky Chocolate in 2002 and still sound fresher than anything being plied by the soundcloud dwellers today, while "Can't You See" from 2003 provides a more soulful take on house music. On the flip, the tracky funk and cascading string melodies of "I Feel Good" originally graced Wade's own Harmonie Park imprint in 1998, but sound no less vital today. Essential.... More

Having brought us his Ladies Night EP back in March alongside partner in crime Bas Roos; Dutchman Chris Stussy returns to the fold. This time flying solo on his Nightdriver EP. Steering away from the sample-stacked party peakers of his previous outing, Stussy delivers a more subtle and refined four track selection that opens with the shuffle and smooth chords of 'Nightdriver'. The warm bass and glistening keys of 'Crate Diggin'' takes up the beat baton, before 'One Way' ups the ante with its insistent and irresistible groove. Finally Chris caps this impressive outing with the disco infused, smooth flow of 'Lonely'.

Its been almost a year since our Robsoul brother Chris Carrier unveiled new music on the label. After recent remix and release forays on Hot Creations, Cuttin’ Headz and his own Adult Only imprint, Mr Consistent is back with a trio of hot new jams. With its familiar screams and bumping bassline, title track ‘Plastic Dance’ sets the trend as its tickled ivories and snatched snares create a dancefloor commotion. ‘Hoverbike,' with its future facing title, actually presents crisp classic sounds wrapped in a haze of floating filters. A track that will draw even the most reluctant groovers to the dancefloor. For those still holding out, Chris also drops a bass-heavy Dub version to give them an extra nudge.

Summer's round the corner and Javi Bora & IAAM are back on Robsoul with a sizzling new soundtrack for the weeks ahead. Somewhat of a label regular, Javi makes his fourth Robsoul return, backing up EP’s in 2012, ’13 & ’14. He teams up with fellow Spaniard and regular sparring partner IAAM, as they follow up recent releases on Music For Freaks and Bauhaus with ’Tonight,' a four track party-starter of an EP. The drum-laden ‘Perklap-Style’ opens the EP and its raw energy is quickly followed by the filtered disco flavour of ’Tonight’. On the flip the funky feels continue with ‘I Just Can Feel’ as its classic sample calls for some choreographed roof raising. Finally, closing up is ‘Rolling Up,' a bass-heavy beat tool that brings a perfect end to Tonight. More

D’Julz’s ‘Ze Box’ Ep, his 2014 debut for Robsoul, remains one the labels most popular to date. Now, as the Frenchman and renowned House luminary embarks on what is already a landmark year personally; he returns to the label to follow up last years Edits outing with a sultry new selection of tracks on the ‘Foxxy’ Ep. 2017 signals the twentieth anniversary of D’Julz’s seminal Bass Culture club night at Rex Club in Paris. A celebration of a party born from frustration with his City’s scene, it went on to become one of the longest standing and most respected nights of a generation. Sharing the booth with just one invited artist each night, each playing extended sets, gave the Parisian a perfect outlet for perfecting his craft. Skills honed at those Bass Culture nights not only helped craft an enviable DJ style, but also influenced his talent in both a&r’ing for his Bass Culture record label and the production of his own music. The Foxxy Ep finds D’Julz in a playful mood. ‘Ze Fox’ opens up with its stretched filters, funky guitar lick and merry vocal. The jittery hats of ‘Big Kid’ follows with its disco loops and sunshine vibe delivering smiles for miles, making you, yeah, feel like a big kid. ’Next’ is the cute little heartbreaker that brings this Foxxy Ep to a close. Its rough, juddering and yet grooving bassline is matched with synth washes, piercing snares and bird calls to create a perfect finale to a perfect EP.
You’ll wanna take her home. Foxxy.
