HNNY - Always (Short Edit)

HNNY – Always (Short Edit)

HNNY parted with a debut release on Omena Records for tomorrow ‘s Record Store Day 2014, and if you’re into new vinyl releases this should definitely be on your list. Especially because this version is so short! Just some minimalist, sunny disco to warm up your weekend. HNNY popped up on the Sole Fixtape No. 25I posted a couple weeks ago, and I am loving his downtempo phasers and classic soul…

ZZZ - Honey

ZZZ – Honey

Jersey club kicks and blippy analog synths; a drippy new free release from British artist ZZZ on Trapdoor/Die High, Honey, melts your soul. I keep thinking that at some point this Jersey Club, 8-bit flavor is going to get repetitive, but ZZZpulls out some really fresh sugar on this FREE release. Plus, I’m loving the Pikachu samples and anime art. Did I mention its free (cheers guys!) like the…

Tonight In LA: Emancipator Ensemble @ House Of Blues

Tonight In LA: Emancipator Ensemble @ House Of Blues

I first came across Emancipator in 2012 when discovering his Safe In The Steep Hillsalbum. Immediately drawn in by the airy, grainy goodness of his soundscapes, I knew I had to keep this guy on my radar. In Colorado this past September Doug Appling, the twenty-something-year-old behind one of the tightest names I’ve seen, debuted the Emancipator Ensemble with violinist Ilya Goldberg. The two and…

Artist: Nachtbraker Title : Gute Laune EP Release date : 31.03.2014 Format: Digital & Vinyl 12" (180gr.) Genre: Deep House / Techno Tracklist: A1. Gute Laune B1. Bluebottle B2. Xantippe Some kind words by Lars and Maarten (Detroit Swindle) Release info: Ladies and gentleman, we would like to introduce to you; Nachtbraker (Dutch for Night Hawk). This energetic dude from our hometown might not be a familiar name to you, but don’t let that put you off. If you’re into the darker shades of deephouse with a serious chunk of funk, have a listen to this. Gute Laune is the track that really captures Nachtbraker’s style in all its facets. It starts of modest with basic percussion and a nice bended pad, but when the bassline comes in, every element in the track makes your head bop, ass shake en smile grow. The real kicker is the changeover where the long pads makes way for a set of filtered stabs that give the whole track the energetic vibe it deserves, without going overboard. The whole track just exudes the detailed way Nachtbraker produces his tracks, and we love him for it. Bluebottle is a wholly different animal. This track keeps a lower pace with a crunchy pad and mysterious synth setting the tone. With a lovely ever-changing bassline, a couple of changeovers in the percussion and a clever gate-effect on the pad, don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming this tune several hours after the first listen. Last but not least, there’s Xantippe. Xantippe is hard to classify because of it’s two-faced character. What starts of as an atmospheric broken beat dreamy tune, jumps into a raw burner after the break with a haunting buzzy loop. Bassface-WTF-material for the after hours. Nachtbraker delivers a quality EP that is definitely one for the heads, more than for those in search of peaktime bangers. We’re excited to share this solid slice of deephouse that represents everything we started the label for: Great music, no matter where it’s from or who made it. Sincerely yours, Lars & Maarten

The Do LaB presents Wave Racer @ Mad Decent Takeover, King King

Wave Racer completely changed my perception of music production when I first heard his remix of Panama’s Always (which through his exponentially-growing popularity has hit nearly 1.5 million plays). As his Soundcloud bio says, he likes vocoders and arpeggios. And I think he’s done a killer job balancing between the complexity of the sounds he uses and the simplicity of what he does to those…
