QUINTESSE 060LP
|
"Time flies" as the saying goes and indeed it has as Quintessentials celebrates its ten-year anniversary. For a decade this mighty label has been getting some true love and support from all quarters. Listening to the back catalog, most of the tunes still sound fresh and keep the label's famous "deep, raw and real" motto alive. Quintessentials has always been a platform for new talents as well as established artists, and with the likes of Anton Zap, Vakula, Baaz, The Zohar, MCDE, Nicolas, Ugly Drums, Toby Tobias, Borrowed Identity, Mat Chiavaroli, 4004, Soul Of Hex, S3A, Los Goddard, Felipe Gordon, Javonntte, to name but a few, it's an enviable back catalog. This Ten Years Quintessentials compilation offers a wide range of styles: Detroit inspired techno and house, a ruff Chicago stomper, some proper deep house, a disco-ish tool, and crafty beats and basslines all over. Ten Years Quintessentials features Borrowed Identity, Ooft!, KRL, Mat Chiavaroli, S3A, Ugly Drums & Chesney, 4004, and Loz Goddard.

QUINTESSE 059EP
|
A warm welcome to Detroit producer Javonntte for his first Quintessentials release. How Is Club246 is an homage to a club in Detroit in 1996. And Javonntte's interpretation of "Club246" is diverse. The opening track has a slight Kerri Chandler flair, whereas "Club246" is a pure pumping club tool for all you DJs out there. The B side goes deeper. "Worldmix" is a slow, deep (hell yeah), and hip hop-ish low-bpm groover, whereas "Citylights" is a classic vocal deep house track. Club246... Proper house music... all night long.

Based in Colombia's capital, Bogotá, Felipe Gordon's sound is testimony that both challenges and reinvigorates the burgeoning Colombian house movement. His statement is built of resonances inspired by other decades, Bogotá, cold, streets, and messy youth. It's not surprising when you hear pianos and classic acid house lines paired with jazz samples and funky bass lines. His ability to mix complex sounds into club music has made Gordon into a renowned and prolific producer.

Quintessentials offer a slice of South American music from Soul Of Hex. Hailing from Tijuana, Soul Of Hex (Sebastien Vorhaus) has a rich, nuanced, and grainy style with an authenticity that's closer in sound to vintage Detroit or New York pastures, despite his Mexican heritage. Busy DJing, producing, and running his own label Vicario LTD, Soul Of Hex is a driving force in the Mexican scene. Helipop EP offers different styles, like a downbeat intro, a deep bass-y rough house cut ("Helipop"), plus two back to old-school rave/warehouse tunes not afraid to use uplifting pianos, catchy vocals, and deep basslines.

QUINTESSE 054LP
|
Following a number of exciting tunes released on the renowned label Quintessentials, here comes Mat Chiavaroli's first long-player, No Stranger To Madness. Warm Fostex tape hisses and MPC swings, the guy from the Pescara hills delivers ten tracks for both your dancing and listening pleasure. The A and B side tracks are drenched in dusty funk samples, gritty chords, and syncopated rhythms. In "Aroma De Mi Vida", Mat chops obscure Rhodes riffs and layers them with more elements, just like in "Whoja Vu", a heavy-sampled disco juggler very close to his previous Quintessentials release (QUINTESSE 046EP, 2016). On the flip, we find some deep chords melting with powerful gospel vocals, giving life to a track that annihilates boring dancefloors. There's a similar vibe in "Jeep Ridaz" that reminisces about seminal Atavisme classics, with broken detuned bits and agitated cut-and-pastes that give a sense of randomness. The second part of this album shows Mat Chiavaroli's deeper side. "Double Pain" is a tune that progressively brings you many aspects of what Mat loves; saturated female vocals stick out while gloomy chords gently develop. "Storia Losca" has a slightly different attitude with a huge synth presence, live percussion, and dreamy pianos. The D side opens with "The Quiet Bobobo", a distorted floor delight and ends with something closer to Mat's early music, disclosing a fresh collaboration with the young studio fellow P Lok. No Stranger To Madness fits many bills and is an impressive proof of what Mat's musical ability is.

Originally released on Gentlemen Cuts (Vol. 2) (QUINTESSE 050EP, 2016) and making rather big waves, "Grooff Machine" from Ponty Mython gets the remix treatment for some more dope grooffs! Chicago hotshot Chrissy (The Nite Owl Diner, Classic, Razor N' Tape) puts disco and acid in and offers a great clubby all-time classic. Ponty himself fuses lots of house, disco, funk, and 808 so that you can grooff to the max. And Soul of Hex (Vicario Ltd, Freerange) keeps it dark and loopy before adding some splendid riffs.

Loz Goddard is back with this four-tracker of slightly deeper and more synth-driven cuts than would be expected from the man. "Slap Dancer" sets the tone with punchy drum and sample hits, easily the most club oriented of the bunch. "Duplicity" sees Loz back on that slightly funkier sound, but with a little added dustiness. "Flavour" adds a little extra sprinkling of dust with its rolling drums and chords - proper chillin' basement tackle. "Sunset Vista" is a slow, machine-driven and synthed-out acid jam.

Quintessentials present their 50th release. To celebrate this, they invite some buddies to bring the deep beats. Mat Chiavaroli opens this jubilee with an up-building powerful tune. Prolific Dutch producer Nachtbraker's subtle and dirty "Bronco" fits in perfectly. The definitive club tune that grooves and grooves comes from Ponty Mython. Last but not least is Soul Of Hex going very raw on "Body Shine".

Borrowed Identity makes music nonstop -- when he's not travelling the globe. He enjoys nature as much as playing house, techno, or disco. He lives in the Black Forest region of Germany, which may explain why his music is so dark. His Red Light Jackers EP follows two superb EPs on Quintessentials and features Albert Vogt on "The Spirit."

Great tunes, and the perfect concept of a west (Mexico) to east (Russia) studio exchange. Irresistible jam style, with the instant "let's record it and put it on wax" feel! No need to blow this up. No big PR stories, just good music made by Ponty Mython (Dirt Crew, Swedish Brandy, Eat More House) and Sebastien Vorhaus (Quintessentials, Faces Records, Vicario Musique). Buy it, play it, feel it!

QUINTESSE 042EP

The debut EP from Bristol duo James Fox (Needwant, Futureboogie, Delayed Audio) and Naomi Jeremy (vocalist for fellow Bristolian house duo Outboxx). "Living Different" blends stripped-back drums, warm Rhodes chords, and deep analog bass, with Jeremy's smooth and soulful vocals providing the perfect accompaniment. The first half of the track develops with driven guitar notes and subtle dub horns before a bouncing Juno chord riff comes in after the breakdown to give renewed drive and energy. Borrowed Identity's epic remix toughens the drums up and adds a jacking 909 groove, bringing extra dancefloor punch while retaining the original's musicality.

Quintessentials announces the first release from Mexican duo 4004 & Sebastien Vorhaus. They might not run as fast as Speedy Gonzales, but their music is super-hot, deep and raw. 4004 & Sebastien Vorhaus work together as well as solo and their work has already been signed by the almighty Faces Records (Pablo Valentino and MCDE). Plus, they also set up their own label, Vicario Musique, so these are definitely names to watch. Viva Mexico!

Quintessentials continue to push quality as it teams up with UK-based oddity Jack Fell Down. After a string of well-received releases on Sccucci Manucci and Home Taping Is Killing Music, Jack Fell Down continue pedaling their deep and moody cuts. The EP opens with "The Garage," a summer-styled, uptempo head-nodder that makes the most of catchy, chord-driven groove. The flip lays out "New Friends" and "You & Me," both of which tip the hat to a classic house arrangement and a tougher and moodier feel.

Anaxander's talent is obvious -- he has been producing different types of music and has been releasing on labels such as Local Talk and Dame Music. His music is raw yet smooth and has a lot of soul and is reminiscent of some good old Detroit techno. No exception is his More About These So Called Love Songs EP for Quintessentials. There's also a great remix from man of the moment Borrowed Identity, another Quintessentials buddy.

Jeremy Glenn goes deeper on this four-track EP for Quintessentials. The title-track is anchored by a pulsing organ bass line, complimented by dark, pitched-down vocals, simple lead lines and the occasional falsetto from Glenn. On the B-side, Glenn moves more into classic house territory with "Jump the Fire," which explores life, death, truth and falsehood, culminating in a pounding chorus complete with Glenn's signature R&B vocal style. To complete the package, J. Wiltshire remixes "Jump the Fire" and takes it straight to the club. The final track is a more down-tempo disco-house groove more in tune with Glenn's earlier nu-disco work.

Growing up in the deep south of Germany with multi-ethnic friends and a big interest in many different music genres of the world, Borrowed Identity built his wide knowledge of music. This variety in his musical taste is also the reason why he is working under different aliases, producing a variety of sound from ambient to house to experimental music and everything in-between. Borrowed Identity's debut EP on Quintessentials is another great example of his multi-style approach. You'll find elements of house, disco, techno, ambient and more -- always stamped with a love for music.

The first album on Quintessentials is some dope work by Cologne's Ugly Drums. It looks good, it smells good, and it sounds good. It's from the man with a great feeling for raw beats and deep sounds; it's from the man who pretends to be ugly, but we all know: ugly is beautiful. This debut album features tracks of pure deep raw bliss with a slight TP feel, featuring collaborations with Lady Blacktronika (Sound Black Recordings) and a remix by Pablo Valentino (Creative Swing Alliance, Faces Records).
