Side A Stages
Side B Stages(Prins Thomas edit)


Don Laka, short for Donald Laka, is a South African jazz and funk musician. He was a very influential musician in the 80`s and 90`s, working with the likes of Sipho Mabuse, Brenda Fassie, and Sankomota.
In 1986 he released a four track EP, Stages of love. The track Stages, an upbeat, synth-driven disco song, has never been released like this before. Here you have the original song, wonderfully pressed on a whole side. The other side contains a delicious Prins Thomas edit, almost nine minutes of high octane South African discoboogie. Both sides are remastered, giving the song the whole sonically register. The original 4 tracker is almost impossible to find, but here you get the full original version plus the tasty Prins Thomas edit, in a beautiful cover reinterpreted by the 1986 original cover.

2025 Repress

Tracklist 12":
1) Mydonna 2) Mydonna (Alternate Cut) 3) Torrox 4) Coast To Coast

Info:
The COEO boys need no introduction anymore. Their two last singles made it into the sets of so many DJs. They are among the emerging artists of that new German scene of kids that make house music inspired by old Jazz and Funk records. The boys are mad about rare vinyl. And they love to make music with a positive spirit. Yes, there is something sunny in their tracks. Something that instantly makes you want to move. We heard so many mixtapes that started with a COEO track. Makes sense: They are perfect to set a vibe. A good mood. But if you know that the COEO boys work in a studio over the roofs of Munich, with a fantastic view over the lights of the city, with a great vibe where you see all the glammy colors of the light in the night..… then you understand why COEO's music sounds as it sounds.

Tracklist:
A. Esperanza (Luciano Flow Latino Mix)
B. Esperanza (David Morales Red Zone Mix)
Info:
Cadenza´s head honcho Luciano teams with House music legend David Morales
up for “Esperanza” a long awaited release that will fire up the summertime. David
and Luciano composed the track together but then each one refined his own personal
mix.
Luciano ´s “Flow Latino Mix” is a long tribalistic ground moving crescendo with a
sub-frequency dense kick and sparkling nuyorican flavoured percussions. The hand
drums ensemble ride a magnetic bass provoking a state of hypermnesia slowly
reaching a climax of celestial chords. This subtle spectral progression finally breaks
down a feeling of positive trust and spiritual healing.
David Morales' "Red Zone Mix" is a lengthy dramatic ascension with a darker
feeling. Stretched textures are the background of a constellation of scattered
percussions, over which fast paced hi-hats subliminally introduce evocative strings
and arpeggios, as they were coming out, at last, as the Hope from the Pandora's
Box.

Tracklist :
A Kill frenzy B1 Lefty's bar B2 Ken sent me
Release Info:
Take Daniel Leseman's signature swing and loose arrangements, add a touch of Junktion's knack for jazzy chords and sampling, and you get Fouk. After a set of excellent solo releases on their own Outplay records and Slow Town, the duo now turn to Heist with a killer EP. Kill Frenzy's wobbling bass line might easily be a playful Dave Holland getting into his zone, and all the tiny elements and variations give Kill Frenzy that perfect vibe to really get a party going. Lefty's Bar goes a step further on the jazzy vibe, with the same loose percussion and vintage keys, a lazy horn section and a lovely twisted and turned female vocal sample filtering in and out. Ken sent me is perhaps the most straightforward track on the EP, with Rhodesy pads and a great use of tremolo to give swing to the 4x4 rhythm. Our suggestion: get it while you can, cause this one is gonna hit hard.
Sincerely yours,
Lars & Maarten
