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....

Tracklisting:
A1 Rick Wade - Late Right
A2 Rick Wade - Kabukicho
B1 Rick Wade - Acid Creep
B2 Rick Wade - Quantum Jit

Release Note:
Detroit legend Rick Wade returns with his fourth Shall Not Fade release: a four track EP packed with different flavours from timeless deep house to drum 'n bass.

On Late Right EP, Wade delivers the classic Detroit-sounding deep house with which his name is synonymous, at times experimenting with stylistic elements borrowed from tribal house, acid and ghettotech. The title track is a punchy deep house track with a funk-infused bassline and jazzy ambience which carries through to the next two tracks where it's accompanied by the rattle of conga drums ("Kabukicho") and a gentle acid melody ("Acid Creep"). Finally, "Quantum Jit" brings things to a giddy close: a stripped-back club tune with skitterish claps and the syncopated breakbeat of drum and bass.

Late Right EP drops 26th August via Shall Not Fade.

akecha is finally releasing an unreleased piece after more than 2 decades.
The piece was written and collaborated with Japanese singer Mayumi Tsuruta in 1999. It is superb house music that blended with underground dance music and Japanese pop music.

We have selected tofubeats for a remix, a producer who has collaborated with many Japanese major artists and is active in a wide range of fields from motion film music to underground dance music, has created a dramatic song reminiscent of the golden age of house music in the 1990s.

This is a 100% Japanese house EP that will be loved by dance music fans all over the world.

Tomoki Tamura's label Holic Trax has long been a renowned place for canny clued up house and techno. It's latest continues in this regard, as Tamura again calls on a series of renowned friends to bring the heat. With names such as Mr.G, Satoshi Tommie and Tuccillo all appearing here alongside Tamura himself, so it's no surprise that this 3 x vinyl record, celebrating 5 years is filled with drama and high points throughout. This "Edition 1 of 5iVE YEARS HOLIC TRAX" is immediately obvious from the title that Mr.G's "Jumon EP". Pays homage to the label's Japanese heritage, A1 "Soba Shioyaki" is a dark and dexterous workout that marks another high point in a career filled with big records. Deep but tough, it's a perfect example of why the tech house master is so revered in underground circles. B1 "Komorebi" puts a tougher emphasis on the drums, as well as a weaving, subtle baseline that adds a further dynamic to his work here.

Tomoki Tamura's pure house label Holic Trax is back with more trend setting hits with this excellent new EP from Tuccillo, Djebali & John Dimas. Tuccillo is very much on a roll at the moment - he makes everything from deep house to tech to chill out to disco and does so on labels like Visionquest and 2020 Vision as well as of course Holic Trax. Established in Ibiza some years ago, the creativity and style of his work has seen him in demand with heavyweights of the musical scene, and as such he is a regular on radio, in clubs around the world and atop many dance music charts. For this EP, Tuccillo teams up with acclaimed producers John Dimas from Greece and Frenchman Djebali for a total of three tracks, whilst label head Tomoki Tamura also serves up one great edit. Up first is the fresh sounding 'A View From' with John Dimas. Lively and spritely, with groovy bass and energetic drums, this one is a bubbly, charming cut that cannot fail to make you want to move on the dance floor. The two then team up for 'Live 23' which gets edited by Tamura into a much quicker and slicker, techno leaning effort with rubbery bass and bleeps as well as some soulful and emotive pads. 'Atuler' feat Djebali then gets back to a more jacking style with firm hits and lots of reverb making for a fat bottomed groove. Some garage percussion adds an irresistible sense of skip to the track and some carefully treated vocals float about inside it adding yet another fine layer. Then comes vinyl only bonus '1st Floor,' again with Djebali. This brilliant track is subtle and deep, seductive and filled with soul. As well as being driven forward at an inviting pace, more mysterious voices pan left and right and trap you right at the heart of the lush atmospheres this pair create. This is another tasteful EP of no nonsense modern house music that is stuffed with real feeling and plenty of proud production aesthetics.

Influential house label Holic Trax is launching a new sub series here with a debut EP from Ivan Iacobucci entitled Monoklo 1. The sub label, also call Monoklo, will showcase a deeper, darker house sound that focusses on the dance floor and sees all material selected by the boss, Tomoki Tamura. Behind this first EP is Italian Ivan Iacobucci, who has been producing since the '90s on Nite Grooves, King Street, Smoke Joke and many others. Influenced by everything from jazz to Detroit techno, afro cuban beats to pure funk, he has a truly fresh approach to sound. Up first, 'Router' is a deep, bubbly house track with corrugated drums and dusty hi hats. Spooky synths add a sense of space and depth and it's an intimate way to kick off the EP. 'Anorak' is another deep cut with warm and cuddly vibes pervading to bubbly, soft edge drums and captivating rhythms. Filled with organic textures and rich with a human feel, the cut sucks you right in from the off. Vinyl only cut, 'De Mai Sus' then rocks back and forth with deep, bubbly basslines, streaming sci-fi melodies and kinetic percussive patterns that are subtle but that really bring the funk. All analogue sounding and dynamic from the ground up, it's a spaced out and emotive house cut that will make you feel as well as dance.

This february Nightdrivers deliver three first-rate cuts on Holic Trax for the 'Quando Party Dove Vai ?' EP. Following on from Burnski's 'The Hours' EP which saw love from names like Mr G, Catz 'N' Dogz, Detroit Swindle and Eats Everything, Holic Trax returns this February with Nightdrivers' 'Quando Party Dove Vai ?'. Since delivering their debut release on Bosconi Records back in 2013 the Berlin-based duo Nightdrivers have been going from strength to strength stacking up further releases on Claap, their own Nightdrivers label and now Holic Trax. To get things underway the light pads of 'Resta Pure Dove Sei' give the opening track a floaty quality while the weighty percussion and subtle rhythms build proceedings into a steady and infectious groove. Nightdrivers appear to go up a gear as the EP progresses with the rippling drums and dynamic arrangements of 'La Ronde Suite (But Not For Me)' while 'Fast Cars' maintains the lively vibe of its predecessor and frenetically bubbles along over busy modulations, wacky intonations and infectious licks to dish up a suitably punchy close to this bouncy EP.
