Following the warm reception of the first two volumes in the Leads & Bites series, Ibadan Records returns with a third volume. The Leads & Bites series was launched in 2010 to address the growing appetite for a musically versatile, pumping house release among house music connoisseurs. Over the years, the action-packed series has seen the likes of Tyree Cooper, Earth People, Kerri Chandler, David Sumner, and Christian Prommer contribute to the series. The previous volume, Leads & Bites Vol. 2 (IRC 127EP, 2016) quickly became one of the label's most sought-after contemporary releases. The new edition welcomes Ibadan's longtime artist Argy and Ibadan's new generation torchbearer, Janne Tavi to the growing series. Also features Jerome Sydenham and Herb Martin.

Ibadan Records present a new remix by Dennis Quin of Kerri Chandler and Jerome Sydenham's "You're In My System" featuring Troy Denari. Quin, a self-professed house addict and die-hard Kerri Chandler fan since the early nineties, had been searching for a new vocalist to work with. He turned to Simon Birkumshaw, label manager and A&R of Chandler's Madhouse Records, who recommended Troy Denari, the original vocalist of the classic Ibadan track "You're In My System". When Denari revealed that had just re-sung the vocals, Quin was inspired to remix the track. Quin's aim with this remix was to update the track for his sets and give it contemporary production values in line with his current digital sets. "It's always tricky to put your hands on a huge record like this," he says. "It's a legendary track that everyone knows, so I was extremely careful in terms of mixing, timing, and all the rest." The result is a modern version of the classic that is very true to the original. At the same time, Quin makes his mark by bringing his own drum and percussion into the mix. The remix versions cover all the bases for various digital distribution formats, including atmospheric dub, club and instrumental mixes. Working together for the first time, the members of the musical team were excited to exchange their ideas. "Troy, Kerri, Jerome and I have gained so much out this intense collaboration. It has developed into a deep friendship that is all about house music, good vibes and pride in our achievements. Each of us is fulfilled by our individual roles in this project. I'm really proud to be part of this family."

This New York meets Detroit flavor is the brainchild of Jerome Sydenham and Amsterdam's Shindoe.

A simple dinner in Berlin transformed into a studio session, which in turn evolved into a track, which set the spark for what has now materialized as a highly anticipated full-length work.

This is the debut album from Jerome Sydenham, founder of the Ibadan record label. What you hear on Animal Social Club is not really the rainforest, or the wilderness. Don't let your ears and eyes fool you. The primal edge, that instinct-driven music, raw and inviting, signals another meeting of the pack. And every time the wild ones get together, the quality of the sound is unmistakable. Breathe, dance, listen, drink your fill, take it all in: this is an environment where there are no inhibitions and spontaneity is everywhere, in everything. A place where house and techno are the heartbeat. This is the primal universe of the Animal Social Club. Guest contributions from Katsuya Sano, Quell, Aschka and Alessio Pagliaroli.

Summer 2011, and Argy, aka Argyris Theofilis stands at the edge of international stardom. He's grown from leading light of the new underground to one of the world's hottest properties, and this is the album that will quite possibly change everything (again). Fundamentals is the sound of house music reconfigured and redrawn for the new era, with the attitude and soul of Chicago and Detroit rerouted via Berlin. Argy's already long list of accomplishments reads like those of a producer twice his age -- from the hotly-tipped prodigy who gave the world "Love Dose" and one of electronic music's most precocious debut collections, Focus On: Argy (PFR 021CD/LP), to the production wunderkind whose discography is a wish-list of highly-respected imprints, including Ibadan, Poker Flat, Cocoon, and Objektivity. But this is only half the story. Argy represents the coming of age of a generation of producers who've grown up with dance music all around them, who've embraced innovation and technology from a young age, and for whom dance music is beyond a lifestyle; to them, it epitomizes a way of life, a global network of individuals, peers, clubs, and fans who cross every continent. From Luciano and Jerome Sydenham to New York's The Martinez Brothers, Argy's collaborations span previously unconnected worlds, brought together with a shared desire to break down boundaries and barriers. This is also exemplified by the releases on his imprint, These Days. Released on Jerome Sydenham's highly-respected Ibadan Records, Fundamentals is a fitting addition to a label that's featured the cream of the world's house producers, from Dennis Ferrer and Kerri Chandler, to Joe Claussell, Function, Joris Voorn, Radio Slave and beyond. Fundamentals synergizes nostalgia with a forward-thinking ethos that has come to exemplify Argy's work. The retrofitted house of "Party People" and "It Feels So Good" sits neatly against the classic futurism of "I'm In," "NY Anthem," and "Indulgence." The sheer production quality of tracks like "String Poetry" and "Dinner At Kerri's," and the Latin-influenced rhythms of "Absent Friends" tempered by sublime piano arrangements, are testament to Argy's ability to imagine, write and produce deeply musical, yet state-of-the-art electronic music. "Upon Ourselves" (featuring Bajka) and "Peace Of Me" (featuring Posh) show his skill in crafting purpose-built dancefloor gold, as evident as ever.

"Another raw tech-house experience from Jerome Sydenham's Jango Series, (Ibadan). 'Jango 02' is the second installment of the Jango series Sydenham is on a quest to supply certain missing elements of house while forging new musical paths into the future. Jango 2 exemplifies this truth. On this occasion we are taken on a journey that includes fierce beats, funky bass lines and Detroit-esque strings. 'Brooklyn Rock': Simple percussive grooves, rolling bass, and a killer hypnotic vocal hook make this dub version a true Brooklyn deep house gem! 'Footsteps of Phire (Jerome Sydenham's Jango Dub)': The almost unapproachable classic, installed into the Ibadan archives by legendary Baltimore Producer DJ Oji, has been remixed up by Jerome Sydenham. He utilizes a lot of the original rhythmic influences while in the bottom range he gives it a true new phat tech-house sensibility. Pumping stuff!"
