'It's killing!' Nile Rodgers
A five track masterpiece of pure 8o’s influenced pop/funk/boogie from New York. Mastered by Herb Powers (Sade, Eric B. & Rakim, Sharon Redd, Evelyn Champagne King etc.) Inspired by the juggernaut pop albums recorded at Compass Point, Sunrise Highway blends Pop, Jazz, R+B and House Music into a melange that is modern, but familiar. The three members could almost be described as a "dance music supergroup" considering their collective pedigree. Tim Wagner is one of NYC's most potent producers, having earned his stripes with the boogie electro-funk driven 33HZ, and then building upon that legacy to create Dither Down Records, one of NYC's hottest tastemakers. Ask anyone who's anyone in dance music about Nick Chacona and they'll tell you he is one of the best, a DJ's DJ, but he's also a producer's producer, with a CV boasting hits on labels such as Mood Music, Buzzin Fly, Bearfunk, his collaboration with Roy Dank, Beg To Differ. Amy Douglas, has been called "the Queen of Nu Disco" by some, as in the last 4 years, she's made her mark, as feature vocalist for some of dance music's biggest bangers, with artists as diverse as Juan MacLean,Treasure Fingers, KON, Eli Escobar and DJ Sega. One listen to their collaboration by rising star, Tensnake, was all it took, and the trio was instantly signed to his True Romance label. Sunrise Highway make their international debut on May 5th.

Tracklist
A1. E-Lane 2 Troy B1. Fountains
Shortinfo:
The story begins at the Heideglühen club in Berlin where the True Romance crew saw OJPB play. In the midst of his set he dropped a mysterious track that completely lit the crowd up, it was E-Lane 2 Troy. In this offering, True Romance introduces Montreal based OJPB (also known as Bowly, DÐD, MTSP).
Through this alias, French-born Olivier Borzeix delivers raw and adventurous rhythms sourcing his inspirations in rare funk disco nuggets and the golden age of house music, blending it into what he likes to call : Hypnotic Soul. E-Lane 2 Troy is an uplifting cosmic mind bender. With its brilliant disco loops and infectious trance inducing melody, this is one that will fill and fire up dancefloors all over. The flipside, Fountains, is a mesmeric funky number which plunges the listener in a pitched down rhythm maze with pitched up vocals and haunting pianos.
FACT said of OJPB:
exactly how viable and exciting house music still is, particularly when taken back to its first principles and given a bit of rhythmic variation" More

Info:
"I've been involved in two or three major genres that are very different from each other," says Vaughn Robert Squire from Canada, better known as Prison Garde, who is making his True Romance debut with our TREP009.
About his 'Melody EP', he says: "It's gospel-influenced house stuff. It's in line with the last couple records that I put out, but I feel like it's a little more mature and that the quality of the recording is a lot higher than anything else I've done as Prison Garde. I recorded it at the Phi Centre in Montreal - it's a beautiful cultural center in the Old Port. Ango and I locked ourselves in there and did a live record on an SSL in a big room."

Info:
Marco Niemerski, aka German DJ and producer Tensnake is set to release his 'Keep On Talking / The Walk' EP via his own imprint, True Romance on June 8th 2015.
'Keep On Talking' is a tingling and infectious cut, defined by an exuberant bassline and lush wandering synths that hark back to an era gone by, while 'The Walk' takes a darker, more minimalist tone with slinky, staggered house beats. Building to a crescendo of strings amidst a flurry of synths full of compacted energy, this is a record that sees Niemerski return to the sound that birthed iconic record 'Coma Cat'.
2014 was a huge year for Tensnake, seeing him record two shows for BBC Radio 1's 'Residency' series alongside long term friend and fellow artist Gerd Janson. From Panorama Bar to A Club Called Rhonda, Niemerski's touring schedule also took him to some of the most respected and diverse clubbing spaces on the globe. Fresh for 2015, 'Keep On Talking/The Walk' now sees him delve deep and explore the sound that first solidified him as one of dance music's most celebrated artists.
