House Vinyl New Releases - News

It's the return of Ajvar Soundsystem on Take Away.
This means more of that intense good-time savouriness blended with spicy, sharp and pleasantly stimulating pieces that speaks to all the senses...

From Conrad Schnitzler in the 1960s to the pioneers of Detroit techno in the 1980s, experimental sonic artists were often inspired by the metallic noises of industrial factories. Schnitzler wanted to recreate the sounds he heard in his apprenticeship as a locksmith with musical instruments, and the sons and daughters of the midwestern automobile-industry generation programmed the motown soul into Japanese electronic music equipment. With his new piece The Metal Beat EP, Credit 00 wants to get in line with this tradition of transforming factory sounds into music. Each of the three tracks reflects on the role of the human being in an industrial environment. The never-ending movement of the machine becomes the rhythm, while the melody embodies our forlorn voices in the vastness of the factory site. The blues played by machines--modern work songs for a post-industrial society!

JB Edits the edit project of Sydney, Australia based house DJ & producer Jerk Boy. Off the back of the success of his first release 'EP Number One' release which gained love and support from an array of DJs around the globe including The Black Madonna, Shir Khan (Exploited Records), Nightmares on Wax, Dave Mayer, Paco Osuna, Can "Khan" Oral, Chris Coco, Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45's), JEPE, Jacques Renault, Timmy Stewart, Giom, Guy Garrett, Erol Alkan, Beaner, Chrissy, Dasha Rush, Dustin Alexander, Moodymanc. Nikola Baytala, Holger Hecler to name but a few. Also after selling out of its first press in weeks across he's back with another 3 x track EP cut, pasted, scratched & sniffed affair not so aptly titled as 'EP Number Two'..... so we just decided to keep it chronological, genealogical and boogieological.

EDIT & DUB follow up the massive TEE SCOTT 12" focusing on another NYC icon in the form of LARRY LEVAN UNRELEASED VOLUME 2. Check these lost dubs of PARADISE GARAGE classics I-LEVELS "GIVE ME DUB" and POCKETS "COME DUB WITH ME" plus a bonus LARRY LEVAN dj tool track. On a single sided 12"

Think about the early house mid 80's scene, and the talent of two stellar producers like Arthur Russell and Bob Blank who don't need any introduction. Timeless underground tune.

REPRESSED !!

Misterious new label of underground disco

Welcome to 'Ruffy's Island', the brand new interactive game that's blowing minds and causing online pandemonium not seen before, oh, at least Poke´mon Go!

Three levels to conquer, each sound tracked by killer Ruf Dug tracks! And a bonus 'level' on 'Ruffy's Island' comes in the form of a remix from the in form Sharif Laffrey.

Futureboogie proudly partner up for the audio extravaganza. The wistful funk of 'Boat Party' leads you through the first level, its melodic chops and jubilant mood advancing you to stage two with ease.

'Techno Cave' guides the shoot-em-up activities in the cave, with its bold, brassy bass, sparse synths and rapid tempo. Find the 'Easter Egg' that is the Sharif Laffrey Nightwork Remix and you'll be in for a real delight, as the Detroit mainstay ramps it up over ten tantalising minutes with a truly exceptional version.

Make it to the 'Abandoned Pyramid' and you're clearly a professional. Ruf Dug leads you on a tropical excursion through this mystical land, with deft piano play and meditative pads. What lies ahead on the fourth level, we will have to wait and see......

NYC party boys HOMAGE first foray into the label game comes via a four track EP from Brighton-based producer Tech Support - who, with no discography to his name aside from a couple self-released EPs on Bandcamp, is also essentially making his debut here. The Tech Support formula, as is displayed on this EP, combines bangin' and funky percussion with classic disco-boogie flavors to craft modern mid-tempo tracks that are nicely beefed up for the dance floor.

Studio Barnhus regular Your Planet Is Next makes his album debut on Mixed Up with his most personal and varied outing yet. Keeping his hazy acid house swing as main palette, here YPIN expand its vision adding elements of pastoral ambient and downtempo over his well-honed mixture of 303 basslines and skeletal rhythms. Somewhere between the early LFO and Sweet Exorcist bleep era ('Molten Smile', 'Powernap'), with extra dose of No Wave ('Huggteknik') and stoned ambient ('Trainspotting'). Best viewed as a full LP listen, but every tune is a winner. Little YPIN on cover too. Smile.

Mysterious KeikoWada's Magical 2 Re-edits of legendary classics,filled with love and respect. We have no information about her().

Founder of the independent publishing house " Red Lebanese ", hits maker on D.KO Records beat maker as " L Rey ", graduated from " Beaux-Arts de Paris ", Mad Rey today appears as an artist who do not do anything like others but strongly followed by the whole artistic sector. " Quartier Sex " EP (inspired from his district " Pigalles " in Paris) has been a strong career kicker. But Quentin Leroy did not want to stay in his comfort zone. He wanted to push the limits of the House Music in adding Footworks, Hip-Hop, Techno, Acid in his live act. 1 hour of a condensed a finely written electronic music who literally smashed festivals and clubs crowds all around the world during 2015 and 2016 (ADE with Move D, San Soda and Tom Trago, Weather Festival alongside Kenny Dope, Lil'Louis and Mr Ties, or Concrete RA Residence Tour).
After 4 highlighted EPs and a fresh Asia & Australia tour, Mad Rey comes back with a double EP on D.KO Records. This upcoming " Balabushka " double EP has a touch of Omar S and the grove a 90's release from Move D with a really modern way to mix the styles. He comes back in 2017 with his 2xEP Balabushka on D.KO Records.

In 2018 Mad Rey will release 1 Ep on Rekids (Radio Slave's label records), another one on Promesses and the best one on Mamie's Records.

Italian Producer/dj Patrick Gibin Kick Starts The Year In Fine Style With Our First Release For 2019. 'cloud Nine' Is A Two Track Ep Featuring The Soul Filled Tones Of Detroit Native Javonntte On Vocals And Musical Polymath Mark De Clive-lowe Aka Mcdl On Keys. Straight Up Four To The Floor Goodness That Bumps And Thumps With The Slickest Of Grooves On Both Sides. Check It!

Session Victim can do no wrong in our eyes. Not only do they run an absolutely brilliant vinyl-only label known as Retreatwith the help of fellow Berliner Quarion. Not only do they play an amazing live set which has seen recent fans at London's Corsica Studios get so worked up they started crowd-surfing. Not only were they responsible for last years' underground hit Good Intentions which is so good it had Move D in tears as he closed a festival set with it last summer. On top of all this they're the nicest and most focused couple of chaps you ever did meet. In short, we're very proud and happy to be presenting their debut LP The Haunted House Of House on our humble label. As with our last LP from the mighty 6th Borough Project, we have made the LP available as both a beautifully packaged triple pack vinyl as well as CD.

Opening track Dark Sienna sets the mood and serves as a good taster of what you can expect from their highly accomplished debut. We're talking looped up deep-disco territory here with a lovely mid-tempo rolling groove driven along by open hats and a square wave bassline, lush string sections and dubbed vocal hits all adding heat to the mix.

Zoinks continues the theme with the perfect balance of organic drums, dusty stabs and a healthy dose of solid gold machine-funk. Push Comes To Shove follows, upping the pace slightly and resulting in one of the more obvious floor friendly cuts (or should i say as obvious as it gets with Session Victim!).

Next up is the more laid back yet still seriously head-nodding vibe of Alpine Glow on which the SV boys even manage to make a cut-up Mark King-esque slap bass sample sound good! Haunted House dives straight in next with an uptempo jam featuring a heavy disco groove and compressed pads laced with subtle arpeggiating acid lines. Some Balearic vibes are offered up next as things continue with Cow Palace and Bison until we're hit with a special new LP version of Good Intentions, the original having been only available on vinyl so far.

Time to shake things up a bit next with a definite highlight of the LP - Light Scent of Decay. As the acronym of the title suggests we are heading straight into psychedelic territory with this beautiful 9 minute and 40 second long live jam drawing us deep into its pleasantly off-kilter confines. Next the boys drop it down a bit for Fine, which sees the duo opt for some headnodding hip hop vibes. And finally we have the spellbinding Flying Visit to leave us on a total high.

Coming on like some long-lost Nightmares On Wax classic, we are treated to a gentle Balearic beauty which should leave you in no doubt that you're in capable hands with Session Victim at the helm.

Zeitreise: go Back', Way Back. Die Musik Erinnert An Arthur Russell, Es Hat Aber Nicht Nur Abstrakte Reminszenzen An Arthur Russell's Garage Sound: Steven Hall Aka Nirosta Steel, Der Hier Singt Und Gitarre Spielt, War Der Gitarrist Und Sänger Von Arthur Russell's Hits Wie is It All Over My Face', in The Light Of A Miracle' Oder tell You Today'.

Der Niemals Oxidierende Nirosta Steel Trifft Hier Dj, Produzent Und Chinesischen Record Shop Betreibenden Tomasz Guiddo, Der Bereits Eine Maxi Auf Compost Disco Veröffentlicht Hatte. Als Kalabrese Das Original Hörte, Sagte Er Spontan: Klingt Für Ihn Wie Ein Versteckter Talking Heads Track. Auf Jeden Fall Hat Kalabrese Seinen Typischen Hand-gespielten Coolen Disco-ritt Draus Gemacht, Während Shahrokh Dini go Back' In Die Oberste House-hemisphäre Puscht. Es Gibt Auch Noch Einen Michael Reinboth Remix, Exklusiv Auf Vinyl Und Digital In Dem Fetten 25 Years Compost Records 10x12' Box-set (2019).

The Tribute series unearths yet another slice of musical magic for those special dance floor moments.

Number 6 in the series, We Love Rose, captures familiar sounds, but then pushes them out to as yet unexplored territory.
Rumoured to be the work of an Aussie based Late Nite Tuff Guy, he has certainly reworked this all time classic into something very special for your ears.
Cut loud on single-sided heavy vinyl, you can enjoy it on the beach, in the basement, or on any kind of dance floor.

Funnuvojere is the new imprint founded by Massimiliano Pagliara. Now marking his third album release, after countless remixes and EPs, the Panorama Bar resident widens the horizon of his musical contributions by launching a label "deep as the ocean" as the name suggests, and open to different musical genres. The first instalment comes from James Booth. Known also as The Gardener and North Vest, the Manchester born producer has been known for his distinctive deep sound very dear to Los Angeles based imprint 100% Silk and Hamburg's Growing Bin Records that released his latest LP in 2017. "Bath Time" is a thrillingly deep-cosmic cut rich in melodies and emotions. The EP starts off with a spaced-out, italo classic cut where form assumes a different dimension as the music layers intertwine in an everlasting flow. If the title track seems ironically like a perfect place to start a party night, "Roller Chrome" is an emotional ballad for hopeful dance floors; while "Such Is Life" is a nostalgic piece of balearic tradition.

This is a promo sampler from new label, Hot Piroski. Produced and recorded at 12Tree Studios in Barcelona.

The label is a boisterous mix of Space Disco, Deep Funk edits and Balearic Beats.

Hot Piroski Sampler Vol.1 features :
'N'Gwode' - a remix of the underground Afrobeat classic by Aleke Kanonu .
'Sugamomma' - an uptempo deep house disco track, feat. vocals from a young Stevie Wonder. Lauren Laverne made this her Tune of the Week on BBC Radio 6.

What the tastemakers say ...
* Pete Herbert : "Bloody great!"
* Chris Todd/Crazy P : "These are ace!"
* Dan Psychemagik : "The N'Gwode edit gets a proper dance floor boost without losing the essence of the original. Love this!""
* Tim 'Love' Lee : "It's a scorcher! Nice work"

After mixing and releasing tracks with disco dons Pete Herbert, Payfone, Tim 'Love' Lee, Phil Mison, Richard Fearless, and Balearic legends Jose Padilla and Bubble Club, this is the first release on 12Tree's own imprint.

Over his twenty year The Hacker has traversed a spread of styles, from frosted electro to raging techno slammers. "Midnight Bliss" shows another side of this multitalented artist. Warmth flows from the title piece. Clean rhythm patterns are spiked by synthlines as liquid melodies are swirled into a carefree cocktail that simply radiates. 'Heavy Duty Disco' takes over the flip and runs headlong into speakers. The Hacker builds a track of generous proportions. Textured keys weave through columns of toms and snapping beats before bruising basslines descend for a late night encounter of formidable intent. Without doubt, a future classic from a classic creator.

Our Mexican brother for the second time on Disco Fruit. Hotmood continues to give fantastic jazzy, funky, afro and disco groove blended with house elements on each release. We can say...his style is now recognizable. Tropical EP with 4 tracks for everyone's taste, similar to the first one EP, called 'Mr Funkyman'. Enjoy !

Rise to the top. I've got to make it to the top. The empowering hook that shook up dance floors in 1999 is back, and it couldn't come at a better time. Featuring mixes from house heavyweights Soul Clap, Robosonic, and Deep Dish, this package is likely our most prodigious yet, as we continue going down the memory lane with our Yoshitoshi 20th anniversary packages.
Soul Clap's Sounds of Life Remix feels like church on a Saturday night. It's big organs and uplifting energy carry the original preacher vocal like a seasoned gospel group, while the drums - reminiscent of early Masters At Work, keep the groove going nicely. As the nearly-ten minute arrangement unwinds, Soul Clap's expertise as purveyors of modern funk becomes apparent, It's deep, it's soulful, its funky, Its vintage Soul Clap.
In other news, Robosonic are back with their third Yoshi classic remix! The boys flex their funk muscle with a mix that is equal parts classic house and modern banger, and sports one of their best bass lines to date. The original vocal has been perfectly interlaced with this track's propulsive beat.
Finally, the mix that meant everything, the original Deep Dish vs. Eddie Amador version. This mix tore down walls 15 years ago with an infectious vocal hook and relentless bassline that has stood the test of time, and now comes to you remastered.

When times are in need for the fresh air of kindness, reach forthis cozy debut EP by multi-instrumentalist, Nikki Nair.

The third outing on Øyvind's private Moonlighting label.

The long time Oslo DJ and producer unveils some deep, late night house sounds from the frozen North.
Ice cold synths, stuttering drum machines and melodic motifs grace this 12", all lovingly collaged and channelled through Morken's own unique style and sound. 2 tracks of hardware laced expressionism recorded in Oslo at his home studio and spread across a side each on a super nice 12" pressing. For the uninitiated, Morken has long been a representative of Norway's dance music underground and his reputation as Jaegers weekly resident DJ in Oslo has earned him worldwide respect where he has booked Theo Parrish, Levon Vincent, Mark E, Beautiful Swimmers, Mark Seven, Ron Morelli, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Hunee, Floating Points & loads more! With very tight links with Sex Tags, Todd Terje and Prins Thomas and with releases on Olsen, LIES, Full Pupp & Mysticisms, Øyvind is a very busy man! Moonlighting is his own personal label platform and venture where he releases his own music and ideas. The previous 2 releases on the label disappeared in record time (no pun intended!) and are feverishly sought after by those who snoozed! Quality Norsk vibes on this one, sure to find a home in the most discerning DJ's bags. Super limited pressing on this one - 300 for the world and that's that.

Andrew Weatherall meets audiobooks downtown

Those of us with a penchant for musical and spiritual psychogeography - 'believers in the laws and specific effects of the geographical environment' - will locate the exact root of this anthem of high abandon in the building which stands on the corner of White Street and Cortland Alley in the Manhattan borough of New York. The neighbourhood: Tribeca. This is where the vibes will be felt the strongest.

Times were tough then, the late 1970's / early 1980's. The squares were being taken seriously again. Menacing horror-show bigotry was rife. Sound familiar And this was the place, home to the Mudd Club, that the post-punk art head freaks went to escape the crap and express themselves - create timelessness - flick the finger - look sharp - show off - have a bit of a laugh.

And dance their lives away.

Back to the present: It was inevitable that Andrew Weatherall would collaborate with audiobooks. They come from the same place. Trace their lineage and you're back in Tribeca. Anya Phillips is on the door. James Chance is on the stage. Lizzy Mercier-Descloux is on the dance floor. and Karen Finlay is looking pretty fucking dangerous. Again.

Weirdly, depressingly, the current political landscape is a mirror image of those times and the freaks are having to look out for themselves once again. This song is one for the freaks. For the outsiders. Its message is one of liberation.

And that message is: Lose your shit. Stay free. Dance your life away.

Pale Blue, the duo of Elizabeth Wight and Mike Simonetti, released their debut album too much critical acclaim back in 2015. They come together once again with their latest EP You Stopped Dying due to drop on Crosstown Rebels in February.

'The 'You Stopped Dying' EP takes influence from shoegaze groups like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and moves it to the dance floor.... The result is a strange hybrid that some have called 'technogaze'.... This would never work if Liz wasn't such a strong vocalist. Her amazing vocal range makes it easy.' Mike Simonetti

Pale Blue is a hypnotic affair, the driving bass sitting perfectly under Wight's powerful yet ethereal vocals. Daughter of Babylon takes the record into heavier techno territory with its thudding bass and Wight's breathy vocals delicately layered over the top. On the flip side Love is an unapologetically industrial number with screeching synths that echo around Wight's vocals.

Simonetti and Wight have each earned their musical stripes in their own rights. Simonetti founded the hugely popular Italians Do It Better as well as his own successful record label, 2MR. He's released a slew of records on highly regarded imprints such as Me Me Me, Correspondant and Public Release, and enjoys a fruitful career as a touring DJ, which shows no sign of abating. Wight has previously lent her exhilarating vocals to the West Coast band, Silver Hands of which she was once one half.

Alicia Myers is in peak form on a new release from Most Excellent Unlimited and Ace Beat, 'Right Here Right Now (Hallelujah Anyway).' Originally issued as a digital-only single by Ace Beat in 2015, this collaboration between the New Jersey house label whose early '90s releases are still considered gospel house masterpieces and MEU marks the first time the track will see vinyl release. Making its debut are Danny Krivit's edit of the original Derrick Ricky Nelson mix and an exciting remix from Ricky, the song's composer, and Danny, who championed the song from its first appearance and has featured it ever since in his sets. The connection between Alicia Myers and Danny Krivit goes back much farther than most people know. In fact, her breakout 1981 single 'I Want To Thank You,' among the most beloved dance music classics of all time, was initially broken by Danny when he played the promo at the Paradise Garage, catching Larry Levan's ear. When influential radio DJ Frankie Crocker subsequently heard it featured in Levan's sets, he immediately programmed it on WBLS, New York's premier Black FM station, and the song's legacy was assured. Much like 'I Want To Thank You,' 'Right Here Right Now' perfectly blends an inspiring, gospel lyric with an impassioned, soulful vocal performance and club-ready instrumental backing featuring a muscular piano hook. The uplifting sentiment has already proven its power to elevate and unite dance floors in the communal expressions of joy that are central to the most soulful dance experiences and the time is right to spread the feeling !This exclusive release will be showcased on twelve-inch vinyl with a precise replication of the classic '90s Ace Beat label.

JOMO... The JOY of missing out.
The premise is simple: F**k what everyone else is doing, just enjoy your own moment and make sure you're present and not wasting time watching other people pretend their lives are amazing. Your life is the only life that counts. And right now Bawrut has come crashing into it. The man behind no less than 15 exceptional remixes throughout 2018, he's back in full original EP mode and he's making his debut on Pets.
Let's not waste any time....

'Pioneers' kicks things off. Bawrut's personal homage to the foundation setters; laced with a syrupy spoken word, this is all about the physical and emotional reactions from a raw house groove. It's followed by 'Desert Island', a dynamic acid attack that's riddled with rich levels of 303 funk and a healthy dose of Trevor Jackson.

Elsewhere 'Piano&Piano' brings us back to dry land with crunchy loops that somehow manage to ooze funk, soul and staccato synth stabbed drama in equal measure... A fusion that's accelerated insanely when the breaks kick in. Then finally we have 'Your Job Is My Job'. Another heady maze of trippy textures and psychedelic nods, this one kicks into such a belting bassline groove midway that it will drive your crowds to such high levels of JOMO they may never want to log into Instagram again.
Powerful sounds from a dangerously talented new gen talent. This is next level stuff from Bawrut and Pets.

Macadam mambo djs hail from Lyon France , Sacha mambo and guillaume des bois are collectors and top notch djs.
The macadam mambo record label is a firm favourite with Lenny paradise so it only made sense to ask the French duo for some of their cuts for the passport to paradise label . Four tracks again in various styles all aimed at the more discerning dance floors .

Deep house done properly - Australian trio Rüfüs' amazing 2016 sophomore album 'Bloom', previously only available in Australia, gets a welcome, worldwide release.Featuring the singles "You Were Right" and "Like An Animal!" it's a journey through richly layered synths behind driving beats, atmospheric build ups and killer breakdowns - all married together with Tyrone Lindqvist's soulful vocals. From the heartfelt epic that is "Innerbloom," to the uplifting melody of "Say A Prayer For Me," 'Bloom' will have Rüfüs fans fall in love all over again.

your life is your life don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch. there are ways out. there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them.
you can't beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be.
your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight in you.

OVERVIEW: To celebrate 40 years since their formation in Leeds in 1978, Soft Cell, aka Marc Almond and Dave Ball, release some brand-new remixes this summer on their own Big Frock imprint.

Soft Cell have been synonymous with the club scene since their debut single release Memorabilia in 1981, (produced by Mute Records' Daniel Miller) which is widely cited by many dance music luminaries as the first ever acid house record. The band cut their teeth and built their notoriety in clubs across the world, from Leeds Warehouse right across the Atlantic to New York's legendary Danceteria. Second single Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go went on to become one of the biggest club (and chart) hits of all time, reaching Number 1 in 17 countries later in 1981. The first true electronic UK duo, the band have sold over 30 million records throughout their career and have been covered or sampled by artists as diverse as Rihanna, Nine Inch Nails, a-Ha and Marilyn Manson, and well as influencing many others. The EP features remixes chosen by two internationally-renowned UK DJs, both massive fans of Soft Cell. Hifi Sean has remixed Insecure Me, B side to 1982 single Torch, as well as So, flip side to the single What. Jon Pleased Wimmin has remixed one of Soft Cell's earliest compositions, A Man Could Get Lost.

While intended as a club tool for DJs, Soft Cell are making available a strictly limited number of the 12' picture disc EP, for their fans, on a first come, first served basis. These mixes will not be released on any other format, and do not feature on the upcoming Keychains & Snowstorms: The Soft Cell Story box set.

Bitter End continue to forge a path that's entirely their own, with another in the limited pre-release series...

'Dimension Extension' on side A, cooks up a sumptuously throbbing, cockle-warming Disco stew from the meagre ingredients of a sprouted wah wah guitar potato, brass carrots and a bouquet garni of dizzying strings. Yum
On the flip 'Be There Again' takes as inspiration a swirling Funk-Soul nugget from '77, augmented with some 21st century sonic sorcery and most welcome synth noodle in the 3rd act

Once again Bitter End rips up the rule book, and crafts a whole set of new, better ones in which freedom reigns

Light years ahead !

Monologues' vinyl-only series returns with another four juicy cuts. Amsterdam's mischievous Melon steps back into his Je Dàvu guise for a haunting, soul-infused workout on 'Dream Of Cream', Bristol boys Lrusse & Kraymon pull off a stunner on the colourful, intergalactic house of 'Tropical Clown', Kerri Chandler's Madhouse Records signings Voyeur provide a heady, jazz-licked roller on 'Orchid' and Monologues regular Danvers slows the tempo for the chugging funk of 'Ain't Over'. Something for all the family.

Support: Danny Tenaglia, Jimpster, Jacques Renault, Black Loops, Mark Farina, Roger Sanchez, Kiko Navarro, Coco Cole, Eagles & Butterflies, Loz Goddard, Golf Clap, Lars Behrenroth, Krywald & Farrer, Llorca, Piek, Severino...

77:78, the new project from Aaron Fletcher & Tim Parkin, card-carrying members of the musical kaleidoscope that is The Bees, are releasing two genius Ashley Beedle remixes of Love Said (Let's Go), the latest track to be taken from their debut album, Jellies, which was released on Heavenly Recordings back in the summer.

On the flip of this limited edition (300) 12' is the original version and a glistening remix by new kids The Flying Mojito Brothers.

Hot off the back of a well-received debut 12' - 'Probabilidades' EP - published on Phuture Shock Musik some 10 months ago, Damián Botigué aka Karmasound returns to deliver his follow-up release on the Bristol label, by name of 'Can See Thru You'.
For this second outing, the Barcelona-based producer steps into a collaborative mode and calls up on the smoky vocal talents of upcoming singer-songwriter Jedreck, to present a jazzy, late-night bruk affair with a range of influences that includes Neo soul, Latin jazz, Detroit house and broken beat, all doused in soulful warmth. In addition to the lead track, the release also features two inspired remixes by Bristol's very own soulful house don Sean McCabe, plus a bonus original track on the B-side to top off the disc.
