Since it's beginnings in 2005, The Alfresco Disco story has enchanted many. With a combination a refined taste in house music and a spirit of adventure, Alfresco continues to create magic and excitement with each event. The launch of the Alfresco Disco Label will see a reflection of the story so far in its music releases. 'We want to treat our releases much like our parties: Each one will be unique and have it's own personality, attention to detail and a little of the unexpected. Our tastes are wide ranging, and the Alfresco label will reflect this. We only want to release music when it is right and something we really love. That's the ethos.' With this first release Alfresco Disco launch their label with a powerful statement. Rising Bristol production team Forget Me Not deliver 3 tracks that ride a wave of Bristol-bass, steeped in a classic house sound road tested thoroughly at recent Alfresco parties. The lead track 'Only You' draws you in with modulating pads and haunting vocals underpinned by heavy sub bass. The mix of organic and urban sounds creates an atmosphere perfect for Alfresco's first release. On the flip they take the bumping classic house-meets-bass formula and apply it to 'Club Shaker'. This time with classic chords and chopped vocals, they make dance floor magic on this head summer tinged club banger. Alfresco Disco co-founder Luke Turner aka Lukas remixes 'Only You' making the track a more sprawling, acid tinged journey, a bit darker than the original. The vinyl of the release is truly one for the collectors. We commissioned long time friend and extended Alfresco Disco family member Daniel Hayman to produce 300 original limited edition screen prints, meaning the vinyl copies of AD001 are extra special.

Shenoda’s forthcoming release on Hypercolour’s little sister label Losing Suki (run by Kings of the Underground Jamie Russell and Alex Jones) is called ‘A Homage’ EP and is a painfully on point exploration of modern interpretations of garage. Shenoda, a UK based producer, DJ and freelance composer, has had previous releases out on Hypercolour, Fear Of Flying and Connaissour and has had ongoing support from underground heavyweights Mosca, Deetron and Martyn with his mid-2011 ‘Shots EP’. After recently bringing down the house (or shall we say tent) at Gottwood with a set that rivalled some of the most prolific acts there, Shenoda is quickly rising through the undercurrents of this new wave of super talented producers. 'A Homage’ EP is a three track adventure of garage, house and techno and compiles in one release the sounds that the kids just cannot get enough of at the moment. The first track ‘Flex’ has a menacing, soul drilling sub bass, fast paced snares and whirring chords. One for the warehouse, big sound bass and affected vocals will have the rave arms pumping and the screwfaces forming nicely. ‘Bubbles’ has the same fusion house/garage vibe; complex drum patterns, percussive claps and disjointed vocal samples, with the continuing growling sub bass. High hit snares and well concocted rising and falling compositions means this track is constantly re-exploding, with consistent spine tingling drops. ‘Every Time I Say’ has the garage pitched up vocal cry, stepping kick drum and is the most ‘garage’ out of the three. Two-steppy, high note ‘baby girl’ vocals ensure this wouldn’t be out of place in a Vauxhall rave circa 98, but it’s fresher than that, and of course, beautifully produced. The honest truth is that this EP can only be described as ‘naughty’. Shenoda’s showcased his talent in a way that is perfectly in tune with the current soundscape trends of the moment and has executed it with brutal perfection, adding his own new unique twist. Down to the warehouse please. More
