Joakim Cosmo is back with another record crammed with wonky and weird numbers. It's obvious right from the start that Joakim Cosmo has a passion for machines and it seems he's having a jolly good time churning out his own version of Chicago music from them. Fissens lockvral is the kind of track that makes me want to grow a big ol' moustache and join a motorcycle gang of leather freaks. Tough drums are being propelled forward by an even tougher bassline while FX sounds and bleeps are being ignited and thrown into a whirlpool of echoes. Gagarin is pretty close to the Norwegian disco we have danced to so many times but with distinct Chi-town influences. That cool Spanish voice sample that reveals itself in the break makes me think of Ramirez. Brugte Boner is going to set some dancefloors on fire! Perfectly shuffled drum machines with a ba-dom-dom voice bobbing along with them. I think this is what Fettburger refers to as basketball house is Cosmo is keeping it well rejuvenated. Vocoder nonsense is my best kind of nonsense and that is what Sabdoo Chimaa is all about AND then on top of that Joakim is jazzing it out on the keys. WHAT?! Before you've had time to contemplate that Mr Cosmo has already sent you on the next trip. This time to froggy space. How do you like that, huh? Sci-fi synths glide past like shooting stars while you are floating happily in the Milky Way bumping into echoed messages from the final frontier. CAN. NOT. WAIT. TO PLAY. THIS. OUT! / Yours truly, Sahpo Ripasso

The Danse Club label is fast becoming an essential deep house outlet thanks to a solid stream of originals and remixes from artists old and new alike including Cherie Lee, The Burrell Brothers and label bosses Brodanse.

Here, said bosses team up with vocalist Cari Golden and resurgent beatsmiths Groove Armada for a huge new track that has already been road tested in Ibiza and has drawn all the right reactions.
Groove Armada of course are right at the sharp end of the house world once again having sunken themselves back in the underground with many gigs in Ibiza this summer as well as releases on labels like Hypercolour. LA's singersongwriter and vocalist Cari Golden, meanwhile, has long been lending her voice to house cuts from the likes of DJ T and Fur Coat, and here lays down another anthemic line that helps this track stand head and shoulders above the competition.

'Sweat' (Club) is a big bouncy house track with neon synth stabs, raw and thumping kick drums and icy hi hats that all coalesce into a barnstorming peaktime track designed for maximum destruction.
It's simple but effective, economic but efficient in terms of design and keeps your attention locked for seven minutes of inescapable house tension. The deep version is less rigid and regimented, there is more swing in the drums and percussion and a golden glow of warmth radiates from within. The vocal here is also smoother and creamier, making its way into your heart as the waify chords add more layers of sonic richness.
This is one for sundown rather than handsup moments and perfectly encapsulates the forward facing house vibe the Danse Club label embodies.

Pittsburgh Track Authority is back. After a five year hiatus from releasing music--during which time PTA maintained focus on expanding the catalog of their labels Pittsburgh Tracks, Love What You Feel, Machine Age Records, and Sleeve -- Preslav and Adam are back with a rejuvenated outlook on music and a renewed sense of purpose. The new album titled PA System is a collection of house and techno written to serve as a document of the past 18 months. As always with PTA, friends near and far, old and new, were a part of the writing process and the album includes collaborations with C. Scott, Santiago Salazar, Stuart Bogie, Nic Offer, Samurai Velvet, John Hall, and Kenny Peagler.

Shaker Plates is back on Vinyl with an upcoming Berlin female Artist called Chroma. Her track "Pain" delivers a Vocal from Berlins female singer Sigrid Elliot. Clapping elements are arranged around this strong Voice and build it up to a club monster.

It´s a big honor that the former member and "Minister of Information" of Underground Resistance from Detroit Alan Oldham aka DJ T-1000 does a remix for this release. Living between Berlin and Detroit, Alan is a mastermind in electronic music and has pitched this track to a strong minimal "Detroit meets Berlin" Version.

The Gunman remix is a more dramatic sub bass story. With snipped parts of the Sigrid Elliot vocals, a volumized organ and FX sounds, Gunman gives you a blast for the dancefloor peak time.

Simon Beeston, a music lover from New Zealand who´s also living in Berlin, does a deep Remix. With drums and a nice sub bass, he´s showing his style.

Pressed lovingly on 180 gram vinyl, with art from the talented Evan Geltosky, Sabota returns after a bit of a hiatus with some music they are very proud of.

Denmark based Alvaro Hylander's mix goes deep, balearic and full of filtered rhodes, lush percussion with a tribal edge and breaks highlighting the sweet vocals, a perfect bar grooves shoulder shaker.
London based Frenchman Giom plays the ace card in the package with a foot stomping remix full of his own signature drum workout and ability to weave melodies and filtered breaks into a
package that has seen him release on the likes of Defected, Bunny Tiger, Toolroom and top the charts with his own label Supremus. Already tried and tested on his last US & Canada festival tour we fully expect many outings at the closing parties and festivals later this year.
Closing off the EP nicely the piano led 'Move Me' brings an upbeat and old school vibe full of stabs, vocal chops and a lush sax infused break perfect for sunsets and warm ups to boot.

The next MOTHER RECORDINGS sees label head NHAN SOLO and long time MOTHER artist DILBY team up with the biggest vocalist in house music right now, JEM COOKE, to deliver their smash record HIDE U!
These boys have worked together on several projects in the in the past, but we thought it was time they get back in the studio to bring some more heat for the dance floor.

JEM COOKE has been on fire recently, collaborating on huge tracks with CamelPhat, Hot Since 82 and Cristoph so we knew she would make the perfect addition to the project.
The three artists have built a timeless club weapon with tough drums, driving synth work and an exhilarating vocal performance that is sure to turn heads. They set out to deliver a main room anthem for the summer and, by all accounts we have to say, the results are a phenomenal success!
This record is full of tension and release which sends chills of emotion down your spine when it drops... hands up, reach for the lazers!

The club slaying MOTHER RECORDINGS has another mighty new EP up its sleeve here with two big tunes from Spanish titan Piem.

PIEM is a driving force behind the Barcelona scene, curates the MOODs party at W Hotel in London, and releases slick house on Relief, Crosstown Rebels, Superfett Records and plenty of others.

He kicks off here with MESSING Ft. RION S, a playful house tune laden with great vocals from RION S. The grooves swing low and the chords and strings add soul and colour. It's the sort of tune that cannot fail to tempt people to the floor.

LA MADRUGADA is then a churning tech cut with tribal vocal chants and chunky drums all getting you into the beat and keeping you there. This is another winning effort from all involved.




MR102
Our good friend DILBY ́s last solo EP on MOTHER RECORDINGS was huge on all fronts. Dominating charts and streaming as well as being served up by everyone one from Claptone to Boysnoize at the biggest clubs and festivals around the globe. It goes without saying that we are excited for more of the same with his latest dancefloor delivery.

HOLD OUT opens up the EP all guns blazing with a chunky drum groove, a big piano riff and a powerful female vocal. This energetic house anthem is guaranteed to lift the roof off any club!

TEMPERATURE RISING is another house bomb with warm analogue synths and a hooky vocal that builds and builds until the track reaches boiling point. The tough beat and punchy bass is balanced perfectly with the lush warmth to create a truely timeless record.

MOTHER RECORDINGS has built a amazing relationship and great connection to
Latin America. The latest signing from the region is fresh Ecuadorian talent
ORDONEZ, resident of the world famous Lost Beach Club. THE SPELL EP
is definitely one of the biggest releases of 2015 so far, which says a lot as it has been
an amazing year so far!
THE SPELL
Smooth grooving percussion pushes this track along while ORDONEZ weaves in the
melody from a gritty Rhodes organ and adds to the magic with spiracles of electric
piano. But then, the seductive vocals come to the front and the whole track opens up
to become one of the catchiest tunes of the year. The drop after the long break is
just... no words can describe it! House Music all night long, yeeeah!
HOW YOU DOING
Next up is a funky sample-lead house burner. Nice earthy drums and a catchy guitar
riff offer a warm vibe for smiles and laughter on the dance floor. ORDONEZ clearly
has a very creative mind and this is demonstrated here with his intricate and creative
use of sampling and arrangement. Another very strong offering from the newest
member of the Mother Recordings family.

SUPERLOVER - the man who brought us Steam' - one of last year's biggest
tracks on MOTHER RECORDINGS - is back in full force this summer with a
new two-track EP. The Berlin born and based producer has brought us
another solid release that is perfect for the outdoor festival season. The
tracks LOVE FLUTE' and LOVE MACHINE' bring together melodic deep
house and disco for sunny, funky grooves and peaktime pleasure.

LOVE FLUTE' radiates with warm summertime joy to get the floor grooving.
A hypnotic, melodious hook keeps the wave of love rolling. Its positive,
anthem-like character gives it big hit potential.
LOVE MACHINE' has a super catchy guitar riff and funky house beat. The
tension mounts as vocals chime in for an ecstatic embrace of love and
happiness, driving the pumping energy that is infectious from the start.

Club of Jacks come correct with the third and final installment of their RAW EP series - serving up another vinyl 4 tracker of essential House & Garage grooves primed for the dancefloor.

Track 1 'Memories' opens the EP with creamy Rhodes pads leading into a pulsing deep house groove flecked with soulful vocal lines, jazzy piano arps and filtered sax riffs.

The second track 'All I Think About' is a soulful groove built around an emotive vocal hook and chugging analog pads for that end of the night vibe.

On the flip side, 'Pressure Sound' switches style to a bassline roller with vintage reggae vocals, swinging garage drums and dub fx combining into a bouncy party starter.

Finishing off the EP is 'Bug-a-Do', a tough and bumpy hybrid acid-garage-house banger. Filtered synth pads merge with a 303 and M1 piano line - a hands in the air new school / old school workout.

All tracks are produced and mixed by Club of Jacks and made to be played loud wherever you like to jack your body!
