/in /by

Luxembourg’s Sam Skilz joins forces with one of America’s most loved Soulful divas, Michelle Weeks, on a potent peak time House romp titled “Release”. Michelle commands the dance floor with her powerful directive over an uplifting backdrop of Jackin’ House magic from Sam. Also on the package, UK House veterans K-Klass add a touch of the old school, injecting a huge infectious hook made up of piano and power- strings and Cosimo Mele delivers an explosive Tech House bomb armed with a dark, brooding bass to smash the small hours.

Sam Skilz is from the generation of artists who breathe, eat and think house music. His unique blend of straight house, mixed with tech, driving bass lines and anthemic vocals, shape his trademark sound. Sam hit the spot #42 in TOP 100 House Artists Of The Year 2014 By Traxsource. Sam’s productions have been signed with major labels like Sony Music, Virgin Records and Wagram, along with remixes and productions for established dance labels such as Warner Music, Hed Kandi, Urbana, Just Music, Hi-Bias, freakin909, Krafted and many more. The release ft. the New York’s Singer Emory Toler, ‘I Love America’, immediately got licensed to Urbana Recordings and featured a David Penn and Rober Gaez remix, receiving global support.

Since then Sam has gone on to release notable tracks including ‘Release’, together with legendary house diva Michelle Weeks, his big collaboration with Roland Clark – ‘Resist’ and ‘Don’t Stop Pushing’ ft. Kameron Ray, to name a few. In 2006 Sam launched Gaga Records to showcase Luxembourgish talent and beyond, featuring artists such as Eddie Amador, Dany Cohiba, Lenny Fontana, David Penn, Grace Ashaye, Coqui Selection, Terri B!, Inusa Dawuda to name few, as well as his own productions. Sam also hosts his Skilz Session Radio Show and podcast, airing on iTunes and also across Canada, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Cyprus.

Premiere: Listen to 2 Tracks Off Of Noah Pred’s Forthcoming “Concrescence” LP on Biotop

/in /by

Noah Pred readies to release his first full-length since 2013’s Third Culture. With meticulous studio skills honed over the course of a 20-year discography, Concrescence deploys a wealth of raw analog hardware and innovative digital processing through ten tracks of spacious yet intricate electro, hypnotic acid house, and rugged dubby workouts.

Referring to the process of “the growing together of parts originally separate” , the narrative thread of Concrescence is woven through Pred’s deft combination of disparate production techniques and stylistic approaches. Without vocalists on hand, Noah lets his machines do the talking, wielding them expressively in service of a clear aesthetic vision, evoking a wide range of images, emotions, and dreamlike states throughout the future-forward full-length.

We premiere two tracks from the LP for you today, which you can listen to in full below.

Track Listing:

01 Limbre
02 Rare Beast (Album Mix)
03 Cascadian
04 Mantissa
05 Vulpine

/in /by

26th February sees Drag & Drop’s 2017 EP, Natura, receive two scintillating remixes from double act Chris Wood & Meat and America’s Jean Pierre – released via Mar-T’s Wow! Recordings.

Kicking off the proceedings is Chris Wood & Meat’s remix of “Natura”, transforming the track to a darker, more instrumental-focused sound driven by the scattered effects and a simple yet effective percussion-lead rhythm.

Jean Pierre’s Sunnyside rework of “Techno Safari” closes the EP, a pounding-groover that intensifies the
original’s distinctive organ bassline loop, as well as adding several atmospheric textures to create a
headstrong seven-minute offering that’s readymade for the clubs.

Natura Remixes EP is available exclusively via Beatport on 26th February and everywhere else two weeks later.

Premiere: Listen to Javier Carballo’s Title Track From “Morning Vibe” EP on Black Wood

/in /by

Anyone who’s followed Javier Carballo through the years will know that the Spanish producer isn’t the sort of man to make boring music. On the contrary, his subtle but beguiling cuts are always notable for their groovy wares, and from that perspective along his inclusion in the Vatos Locos camp alongside the likes of Hector is a hugely merited one. For his latest release, the Gran Canaria native crops up on the emerging Black Wood imprint. Already making great strides recently courtesy of David Gtronic’s debut EP for the label, the Morning Vibe EP solidifies the label’s reputation as ones to watch.

Up first is the sounds of the title track. A skeletal track with but a few elements, it’s a clever example of how to do more with less. By the time the sporadic acid lines come into play, the listener is already yearning for more, with the track’s deep undercurrent seeing us to out with some flair.
