12"

BACK IN STOCK !!!!This four tracker explores the sound he's been developing over the years and even touches a newer side. The EP opens with the title track Wide Awake and embodies the signature Junktion sound with a summery balearic touch. What We Are is a faster synth laden affair coupled with his usual sample action. Sunny Side Up is what the title says it is, a sunny Disco track driven by a groovy bassline and a funky rhythm guitar. The EP closes down with Don't Mess Up for a more contemplative jazzy track with some smooth sampling and afro touches.

Jovonn returns to London's Dogmatik imprint with another fine 12" delivering two new tracks with Jovonn's distinctive new jersey influenced sound.

Royal Athlete Records are back with another set of party bombs, lovingly curated to achieve maximum perspiration. Heading up side A is 'Dreamers' by UK's Chaconne. A certified disco-piano-banger, recalling 80s NYC hedonism and emotion. (The Real) Kent Clark, who so far has only one release on Bordello's Riviera Disco series follows up with an electro-boogie dub workout entitled 'Make It Right'. Our man in Holland: Aux Tha Masterfader, takes us back to the old-school with the LinnDrum breakdance beast, 'Let's Dance To The Beat'... He commands, we obey. Closing up is Dilemma, who recalls the memory of the early days of Belgium's debauched nightlife with searing leads and low-motion grooves in 'Bocca Nights'. All tracks mastered by Alek Stark.

After a first release early 2016, the Discomatin crew from Paris returns to their Discomatin Edits series with this second effort, still in the spirit of the afterparty they organize to entertain the early birds, who prefer to dance than catching the worms. The EP is composed by four tracks, finely picked and slightly edited by the DJ’s of the crew. From AOR mellow grooves to French original kitsch and funkyness, they open a wide range of possibilities. It’s fresh, it’s French, so don’t sleep on it!
