RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2020
After Nu Guinea's album, Nuova Napoli (NG 001CD/LP, 2019), and the first Napoli Segreta compilation, NG Records follows up with an exploration into the unknown groovy side of Naples by releasing Napoli Segreta Volume 2. Famiglia Discocristiana, DNApoli, and Nu Guinea team up again selecting more tracks from their archives, for a new compilation containing nine mysterious Neapolitan tracks, found in the most hidden corners of remote flea markets around the Vesuvius. But forget classical Neapolitan songs, "'O Sole Mio" or "Luna Rossa"... Forget about what you expect to find once you land in town... oh, and also forget about Google maps. Take a dodgy local guide, keep your eyes open, and follow it to enter the secret downtown, the underground, the routes that no satellite can detect, but beware there is no easy way out. Napoli Segreta Volume 2 is a musical journey into the sonic landscapes of Naples that you have never heard of before. A variety of genres merging soul, disco, funk, blues, new wave, Afrobeat, and boogie, including lyrics in Neapolitan urban slang, instrumental tracks with progressive flavor, and also some unexpected covers. Features Antonio Sorrentino, Tonica & Dominante, Gibo & Pummarola Band, Ara Macao, Tony Verde, Maria Kelly, Bernardino, Armando Cusopoli, and Tony Iglio.

The Rockinitis series showcases electric guitar blues from the mid-50s to the early '60s. Unfettered pleasure in the form of Black dance music. Third time's the charm as two heavy-hitters join the fray. Wexford, Ireland's Bill Kealy, has been packing dancefloors for 30 years. He was sucked deep into the rhythm & blues vortex after following the trail back from the music of his youth; The Kinks, The Animals, and the like. A truly international DJ, hear his sets at The Federal Rhythm & Blues Club in Crewe, For Dancers Only in Dublin, or as a regular guest DJ at top R&B clubs almost everywhere. Steve Longworth spent his teenage years dancing to Soul at Wigan Casino. He was then drawn towards the R&B and popcorn sound. Since the early 2000s, he's been running nights all across England's North -- Soulful Shack, Down In The Basement and The Ad-Lib, to name a few. He's played gritty blues 45s at clubs from Barcelona to Melbourne and now regularly spins at Sheffield's mighty Room At The Top. Features Al Simmons, Eddie Burns, Skip Robinson, The Nightriders, Roy Brown, Peppermint Harris, Ulie & The Uniques, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Dusty Brown, Ace Holder, Lynn Johnson, Detroit Junior, Jimmy Anthony, Magic Sam, and Poppa Hop.

RELEASE DATE: 2/14/2020
For the first time, Len Faki decides to dish out a full foursome of his Deepspace-mixes, sharing one of the most profound entries into the series yet. Originally released within the last couple of years. The atmospheric and dubbed-out "Biker Scene" from Skymn is one of riding blissfully under a sky illuminated by the milky way, followed by a streamlined update on the soaring metallic shuffle that is Refracted's "Depth Charge", its tribal undertones prowling in the underbrush. The flip tucks NYC's Craft's wild synth work into a tight corset, channeling its lively energy even more effectively for the floor. Closing out with A Sacred Geometry, the Berlin/Rome-connection's finely plucked synths glide above elated pads and a skittering rhythm.

SMALLHOUR 003EP

Small Hours is back with another selection from producers far and wide. NYC stalwart, Charles Noel, AKA Archetype, AKA Monochrome, very kindly licenses an edit of his celestial jungle gem, "Paradise" to the VA label. Originally issued in '94 on Ohio's 21/22 Corporation, this 2020 "Paranoid" version (by Youandewan) interpolates elements of the original and "217" by Brooklyn-Berlin transplant Velasco, courtesy of Bologna-based label, DAT. On Side B, Underlying Form boss Darren Allen serves up a slice of his nonconforming minimal-madness alongside fellow Discobar comrade, Robin Ordell, who brings an energetic, machine-driven jam reminiscent of his recent outings on Subsequent and Domesticated.

HEIST 043EP
|
Heist Recordings are finishing their sixth year of the label with their annual potpourri of remixes with 2019's artists on The Roundup Part VI. There are a few really cool newcomers on the label like Demuir, Perdu, and Makèz, as well as label mainstays Fouk and Detroit Swindle delivering a great collection of remixes. The EP starts off with label heads Detroit Swindle giving their high-energy take on Fouk's "Need My Space". They've chosen for a stabby club version of the more introverted original, with different layers of synths building up alongside a pumping drum track and a punchy Moog bassline. Check the break for a nice dreamy broken beat section before the track comes back into full dancefloor madness. Makèz have only just released their well-received debut EP and now they're flanking Detroit Swindle on the A-side with their remix of Perdu's hit "Sacramento". They replace the broken beat vibe of the original and instead go for a 4x4 track with a driving bassline, warm pads and subtle placement of Perdu's original elements. On the B-side, we have Fouk reinterpreting Demuir's take on Detroit techno with their remix of "3nity returneth". Their version is a tom-heavy high-energy club track with a strong nod to the past, whilst still keeping that strong Fouk signature intact. They mangle the vocal sample in a drunk and twisted break before setting the track back on fire with an extra acid line for good measure. The B2 goes to Perdu's dreamy slow burning remix of Detroit Swindle's classic house bomb "Music For Clubs" featuring Lorenz Rhode. His version takes the tempo down and dials the dreamy level up a notch. A mellow but punchy acid line and worldly synth hits give this remix it's cool twist and it's a great showcase of Perdu's view on the broad world of house music. 2019's Roundup finishes with Demuir's trippy "Playboy Edit" of "Random Visits" by Makèz. He takes the vocal sample and layers it behind a haunting string, dreamy keys and a steady groove. It's got a funky vibe where Demuir's knack for a good groove fits perfectly with the fresh original.

RELEASE DATE: 2/14/2020
Cocoon Recordings invites well-known international artists to once again rub shoulders with some of the freshest new talents around on Dots & Pearls 6. First up, Eduardo de la Calle and Romina Cohn's "I'm Losing My Mind" does a decent job helping you lose yours. Taking the classic DBX template as a start point, Cohn's random, spaced-out musings elevate things to another level as they filter through all manner of machinery, bathing the hypnotic percussion in a lysergic glow. Fabe's "Call Of Origin" pulls no punches either, the energetic, bass driven intro bouncing its way centerstage before expanding into lush open spaces with occasional melodic scatters and washes of warm pads that radiate good vibes. Over the last couple of years, Adana Twins have rightly consolidated their position at the top table, so it's a pleasure to have them on board with "Origo". Like snake charmers relentlessly teasing and twisting the infectious hook line in all manner of directions, they demonstrate complete control of their art, pushing all the right buttons to bring things nicely to the boil. As with all Cocoon compilations the deeper you dive, the stranger the vibe and Juan Sanchez delivers a dose of trance-inducing, minimal techno. Abiding by the same dogma as the track before, "Narcissus" offsets a constantly morphing hypnotic hook line with raw, stripped 909 beats in a classic mid '90s style. Michael Klein's "Continuation" maintains the intensity as Cocoon's Techno Tardis transports the listener even further back to a sweaty early '90s warehouse. It could be London, it could be Berlin... wherever it is, but it sure sounds like home. Rico Puestel then snuffs out the candle, plunging you back into darkness. With "Perpetua Mobilia" he unleashes a deep, prowling beast of a track. As you motor on towards morning, Radu Dracul adds some bite to proceedings with "Spectrae", a slow-burning psychedelic trip with gently percolating acid lines that smooth out the rough textures of the preceding tracks before giving way to a cavernous breakbeat inflected breakdown. And then finally, Joe Metzenmacher and Borka & The Gang close out the collection, paying homage to the melodic side of Detroit with the quirky, idiosyncratic yet ultimately beautiful "Magic Talk". It surrounds the dancefloor in a warm embrace as keys, strings, and bass combine effortlessly to produce a priceless moment of collective euphoria.

"Call Me By Your Name, the film by Luca Guadagnino, is a sensual and transcendent tale of first love, based on the acclaimed novel by André Aciman. Summer of 1983, Northern Italy. An American-Italian is enamored by an American student who comes to study and live with his family. Together they share an unforgettable summer full of music, food, and romance that will forever change them. The film received critical acclaim. Critics praised in particular Chalamet, Hammer and Stuhlbarg's performances, Guadagnino's direction and the screenplay. Call Me By Your Name won a variety of Awards, including Academy, Bafta, GLAAD and many more. Sufjan Stevens's song 'Mystery of Love' was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 90th Academy Awards. Luca Guadagnino wanted the film's music to be connected to Elio, a young pianist who likes to transcribe and adapt pieces in order to get close to Oliver. The music is used to reflect the time, the characters' family, level of education and 'the kind of canon they would be a part of'. Guadagnino found himself resonating with Sufjan Stevens' lyricism through his work and initially asked Stevens to record an original song. Eventually, Stevens contributed three songs to the soundtrack: 'Visions of Gideon', which was used at the end of the film, 'Mystery of Love,' which was featured in the film's first trailer and a new rendition of 'Futile Devices' with piano. Stevens penned the songs by using the script, the book, and the conversations with the director about the characters. It marks Sufjan Stevens' first soundtrack for a feature film. The vinyl package of Call Me By Your Name includes a poster, an insert and the 180 gram records are housed in 2 exclusive printed innersleeves. This is a limited edition of 10,000 individually numbered copies on transparent red vinyl, to celebrate the release of Find Me, André Aciman's brand new novel and sequel of Call Me By Your Name. The heavyweight jacket has a deluxe varnish on the title and special "linen-look" finish. The album is housed in a customized PVC jacket with 'Somewhere In Northern Italy' engraved on the back."

A remix EP of previous released tracks. First is a deeper version of head honcho Ben Mudi's "Fantant" by Kevin Over -- a good friend and known artist of our repertoire. The second one is a remix of Leo Woelfel by M.ono which comes in very dreamy and nearly fantasy kind of disguise. Third there is DJ Normal 4's "Oriental Dragon MixX" of Inherit The World's "Concrete Jungle", a remix which adopted the melody and adlibs from the original adding a spicy almost Goaesque acidish synth line. Last but not least is a remix ofPaso's "It Was A Night In September" by French house connoisseur Flabaire who runs the D.KO imprint out of Paris -- soft and moody sound bubbles will flattering your ears. Time to inhale exhale!

UKNOWY music is back with a new installment on its more house-leaning Plastic Garment vinyl series. This time the EP title is Midnight Impulse as every track carries the treats of nocturnal life: it's dark, it's fresh, and it's open to all possibilities. Starting with Salomo, you have a delivery of a definite club banger with "Transform" -- devotees of the likes of Kyle Hall or Steven Julien/Funkineven will definitely get their fancy tickled here. Next comes Italian break-beat maestro Sofa Talk with a rhythmically sophisticated yet deep "ALBA", much in the vein of earlier Plastic Garment releases. Munich house duo Rhode & Brown starts the B side with "You & Me" building intricate synth arpeggios over catchy chords. St. Petersburg's very own Dices closes things off with his more dreamy and at the same time incredibly complex and beautiful "See You There" -- a track for the listener or the later hours of the night.

REZ 024EP

If you've encountered Titonton Duvante's Residual Recordings over the years, then you'll be all too aware of their ability to conjure up genuinely thrilling and thought-provoking electronic works. Indeed, while he's best known as a DJ/producer in his own right, Duvante's own A&R skills are impressive, with Residual counting on everyone from Fym to Boo Williams to Garrett David over the years. As with their last various artist collection, the label owner has done another expert job at rounding up some great troops here, with four emerging producers delivering the goods courtesy of Refraction Vol. 4. It starts with Rukka's "Stellar Radiation". Full of zippy, nimble synths, and clever cowbell sounds, "Stellar Radiation" is a brilliantly constructed slice of intergalactic funk that brings the rabbit role in some style. Teakup's "Believe" is a more stuffy, techno-focused cut, the likes of which has been produced in a unique, urban-influenced vein. Miscellanea I on the Is / Was label, it's another reminder of the Ohio native's undoubted talents. Sepehr's "Exit Your Body" plays out like a vintage cut from The Martian. Loaded with funk and soul motifs and characterized by its 808 sounds, this is techno of a real swagger and panache. Deep but brilliantly catchy, it's indicative of the label at its very best. It's then left to Italian producer Pressure Point to see you out, a task he fulfils in some fashion thanks to "So Far So Good". Another track with its roots in classic sounds, it too maintains a sort of contemporary edge.

VAMPI 205LP
|
LP version. Synth ambiences, acoustic landscapes, deep songwriting, and subtle candombe percussions combine in most of the musical output released in Uruguay during the '80s. A very unique sound was developed within the narrow boundaries of Montevideo, the country's capital city, by just a small group of very talented artists. These sounds reverberated in singer-songwriting (Eduardo Darnauchans, Fernando Cabrera, Estela Magnone), jazz fusion approximations (Hugo Fattoruso's La Escuelita), experimental music (Leo Maslíah, Hugo Jasa), and the work of musicians at the intersections of these worlds (Jaime Roos, Mariana Ingold). In América Invertida, ethereal vocal arrangements and acoustic guitars cohabit with synthesizers and drum machines; Candombe and Latin American music form a fellowship with new wave and dream pop. However, the overwhelming musical harvest produced by giant neighbors, Brazil and Argentina, shadowed any attempt for this scene to transcend beyond the local market. It's only now, a few decades later, when some of those records have achieved cult status among a discreet group of collectors that try hard to get hold of those titles, pressed in only tiny numbers at the time. No wonder, the timeless beauty of these songs remains in full effect while retaining the uniqueness of a sound resulting from multiple cultural encounters on the streets of Montevideo. This compilation, América Invertida, reveals part of this hidden world. It veers towards the most experimental side of Uruguayan singer-songwriting of the '80s, both from an acoustic and electronic point of view (with artists who moved between both universes) as well as towards instrumental fusion. A collaboration with Montevideo based label Little Butterfly. Compiled by Spanish DJ and collector Javi Bayo. Extensive liner notes by Uruguayan journalist and music expert Andrés Torrón. Also features Contraviento, Jaime Roos Y Estela Magnone, Eduardo Mateo, and Travesía.

Dombrance (part of DBFC with David Shaw) presents an Italo/electro track which is part of his surreal political new project. More or less disco, disco or not disco, it's always been difficult to see the boundaries of this movement and all the influences it infused on the electronic scene, Partyfine and Yuksek tried to answer the question and open the genre the wider they can. Also features Leela, Claap & Santana, Alex Rossi, and Adore.

The Limiñanas have been international stars since 2010. A few years earlier, The Hushpuppies were in the spotlight. Two groups from North Catalunya who have written some of the most beautiful pages of French rock thanks to their garage and neo-sixties style. Two groups born from the flourishing sixties style punk and mod scene of the 1990s in Perpignan. Back from the Canigó explores that decade, which saw the emergence of more than twenty groups from different scenes that were to fuse together in the end. Through more than thirty tracks, many of which are released here for the first time, this album brings to light the pioneering work of Les Gardiens du Canigou and of The Ugly Things, as well as eleven other groups who make worthy heirs to the former: The Beach Bitches, Uguet 68, The Feedback, Les Buissons, The Likyds, The Lazy Sundays, The Vox Men, The Lightning Circus Band And The Boom Boom Beat, Human Potatoes, The Rippers, Psiquàtric Xaïs. From savage garage revival to sixties punk, from mid-sixties freakbeat to more psychedelic sounds, Back from the Canigó amplifies the echoes of a town turned into the French capital of these underground genres. These are the beginnings of a still active garage scene that, a few years later, would see the emergence of groups such as Les Bellas, The Sonic Chicken 4, Gaz Gaz, Les Fatals, Les Go-Go Players, Jack Of Heart, Hair And The Iotas... But that's another story, perhaps to be told on Volume 2. In the meantime, this is the '90s at the foothills of Mount Canigó.
