House

Tief welcome Jon Sable back for his second release on the label, this time backed with a remix by his New Zealand buddies Chaos In The CBD.

House of Disco return with a pair of funk fuelled cuts from Aroop Roy with Japan's Brisa contributing a deep and percussive remix. Based in London, Aroop Roy's take on electronic music involves blending elements of jazz, Afro, Latin and funk with disco and house. Roy's releases have landed on Freestyle, Gamm and Basic Fingers, and most recently on the hugely successful Kampana Classics EP.His multi-genre spanning influences can be attributed to his wealthy experience playing around the globe, including previous residencies in London, Geneva and Tokyo. Renowned taste makers Gilles Peterson, Francois K, Karizma and Rainer Trueby are only a few names from a swelling list of supporters and their seal of approval is a clear testament to his studio abilities.‘Talkin Bout Life' demonstrates Roy in fine form as it subtly builds into an essential party anthem. Jazzy keys, a soulful guitar lick and a dusty breakbeat are brought together by a warm and punchy low end to form an irresistible groove. This sets the scene for a breakdown of epic proportions, with raw vocals looping hypnotically to a huge climax.‘We Together' shows Roy's deeper side, pairing chunky, overdriven percussion with subterranean chords, whilst an infectious vocal operates on top. A warm analog synth ups the ante with an extra portion of funk.Hailing from Fukuoka, Brisa concludes the package by completely reimagining 'Talkin Bout Life'. Rumbling drums, twisted bass and otherworldly stabs together forge a jazzy remix with an abundance of character and originality.

Following on from releases by Urulu and Yaki Incipient, South Street return with their third release of sublime house cuts by Flabaire.As part of the highly respected D.KO Records crew and an integral part of Paris' house scene, Flabaire's reputation has been steadily growing in the past few years.With a string of releases on Popcorn Records, Organic-Music, his own D.KO Records and now South Street, the Frenchman is definitely one to watch!

More than 10 years after a limited pressing that caused huge stirs around the world, "House Ya" is back on wax !Championed by Ricardo Villalobos at every gig last year, but also Cassy, D'julz, Claude Monnet or even Bob Sinclar, this one has a large spectrum appeal and is pleasing all kind of crowds.Along the bomb, you get 2 more exclusive secret weapons, a very effective reboot of "House of God" for the strong heads and an acid house anthem derived from a Sneak track that keeps inviting you to the deepest trip.Let me tell you this one is a huge release, and very limited too. Don't sleep on it. Vinyl Only...

Flumo's first vinyl offering for 2017 sees Chocky returning with three original signature tracks along with a remix from true craftsman Orlando Voorn.Higher Synth, the first cut on the record rolls out the instantly recognizable Chocky sound to full effect. Looped chords set the rhythm in motion & the vocal sample provides just enough variety within the track to mix things up and keep you moving.Orlando Voorn's take on Higher Synth enhances the weight and heaviness of the original, the wooden bass kick and crisp synth layers provide a refreshing satisfying take on things.The flip side contains two tracks, first of which is Seek Deep, a track that similarly maintains Chocky's signature vibe whilst also paying homage to deeper, classic house tracks with a spoken Word vocal.. This track was first made available on Flumo's Unreleased Highlights Volume 4 compilation, and it now sees an anticipated vinyl release.Closing off the package is Chocky's Brush Away, a track delving into the hypnotic sphere, where field-recorded vocals and trumpet lines create a late night groove aimed straight at the dancefloor. Chocky returns to the label and he delivers.

After two incredible EPs, Wayne Snow — the Nigerian-born, Berlin-based vocalist and songwriter — now presents his debut album on Tartelet Records.Freedom TV is the natural sequel to the Max Graef-produced tasters Red Runner (2014) and Rosie (2015), a project marinated in Afro-Caribbean, soulful grooves and topped by Wayne’s effortless falsetto acrobatics.As the title suggests, Freedom TV is an album with themes of liberty, struggle and creative identity pumping through its veins. Within ten tracks, Snow fluently meanders between musical styles: from low-tempo soothers like album opener “Cooler” and “Fall” to the syncopated bruk of “The Rhythm” and cosmic funk escapades found on “Nothing Wrong”.Production comes from three varied and solid sources. The tag-team between Snow and fellow Berliner, Max Graef — which started on Graef’s 2014 debut Rivers of the Red Planet — is in full effect. The result is six tracks (“Cooler”, “Still In The Shell”, “Drunk”, “Red Runner”, “Rosie” & “Fall”) anchored by Graef’s now-signature brew of warm-to-the-touch boom-bap, soul, jazz and house. Elsewhere, trips to see the French capital and Neue Grafik yielded three stormers: “The Rhythm”, “Freedom R.I.P” and “Nothing But The Best”.Naples-formed, Berlin-based duo Nu Guinea also lend a hand on “Nothing Wrong”, an uptempo jam which will receive remix treatment from Francis Inferno Orchestra as well as the pair themselves. The works of criminally overlooked, Zimbabwean guerilla fighter-poet, Freedom Nyamubaya (?1958-2015), bind everything together. It’s her verses, which occupy the end of soul-searching, Peven Everett-esque joint “Freedom R.I.P” and provide a regular referential touchpoint. More than anything, Freedom TV is the soundtrack for anyone seeking a wholesome exploration of groove.Smooth and contagiously danceable at points, Wayne Snow has arrived in album territory with an assured cool.
