QUINTESSE 096EP
|
Quintessentials welcomes back Ralph Session, whose previous drop For The House Heads is still turning in crates and sets worldwide. This time, he dives into peak deep territory with Mad Deep. The name says it all. It's a masterclass in heavy yet soulful, hypnotic house. Reuniting with LA's rising star Juliet Mendoza after their much-loved collaboration on Freerange Record. Her sultry voice and commanding presence just brings the title track to life. If that wasn't enough, it includes a masterful remix from house music legend Jerome Sydenham! It's dense, rhythmic, and uncompromising cool. Finally, "Sway" closes the EP with a late-night super sweet yet driving house tune that stays true to the underground spirit. Built for selectors, dancers, and true deep house heads heavy rotation is guaranteed. There's deep and then there's Mad Deep!

All The Colours was a concept that came about from Andy Ash bringing together his music and visual art in an attempt to try and identify the common ground between the two. In both mediums, Andy attempts to convey the full range of human identity -- at first you see and hear euphoria and playfulness, but look a little closer and you will also notice anger, sadness and tension. On this album, Andy approaches house music as the vehicle to convey many different feelings. These tracks are designed to be played on the dancefloor and bring people together -- this is what house music has always been about! The whole album was made over a two-year period in Andy's home studio using a mixture of analog hardware and samples. During this period, Andy was suffering with some significant mental health problems and this album represents his attempts to channel this energy into something productive. This is also the first time Andy has worked with vocalists, bringing a new dimension to his music. Whether it is the old school inspired "The Sound" which features vocalist Erik Rico, or the deep and moody "I'm Here" featuring Liverpool vocalist Amber Kuti, this album brings many different shades of house music to the table. Also features Faber and Nexus Techne.

Quintessentials announce Detroit legend, Alton Miller. Alton needs no introduction. A classy producer for decades, the label received some essentials for his new EP -- Essentials Ya Dig EP. The main track "Where U R" is a deep, emotional and jazzy clubber, just right for some hot summer club action. The flip side offers again top quality with "Hard To Lose", which is pure Detroit magic and "Give It Up", a track that originally has been released in 2010 and now gets a deep soulful jazzy remix from Boddhi Satva. Essentials ya dig, indeed! And yes, there's fantastic artwork by Giza One too!

After well-received releases on Shadeleaf, Dead Horse and Hot Peas And Butter last year, Preston's finest soul brother Simba comes through Quintessentials with the Box Room Perspective EP. Leading the way is "Can You Free Me?" featuring the beautiful vocals of Maddie Ellerby taking a distinct soulful flex a la Kerri Chandler. The dub takes things a little deeper for the heads, stripping back to the essentials much like a Matthew Herbert dub. On the flip is "True," which has been described as '90s Planet E meets Broken Beat, an excursion between the lines of house, disco, and techno. It's hot up north!

Time for another new face on Quintessentials: Goshawk! Been around with different projects for ages, this East Midlands lad has always been one of the finest exponents of eccentric deep house. Releasing tons of quality music on labels like Hudd Traxx, Boogie Café, DiY Discs, or his co-owned Pressed for Time and Atjazz forthcoming, Quintessentials simply couldn't resist signing Goshawk. The Strictly Bungalow EP offers classic house music and 110 slowdown tunes and is full of fun and vibes, rough yet smooth! "Never Let Me Go" is an uplifting, sexy vocal track, "Why I Sing" is one of two slowdown tunes with a nice dosage of funk, "All I Have To Give" is a rather dark club banger and "Time Is Just A Loop" is a minimalistic slowish chugger. Yes, strictly bungalow!

Sans Rouge EP is a return to Greymatter's sampling roots reminiscent of his early works on WOLF Music. A record that sits half way between house and hip-hop, in terms of style and tempo. "Sans Rouge" epitomizes that mood: starting out with a hip-hop groove that drops into a beat-down house chugger. "Royale" drops things down to an even slower motion with another tough beat down groove, chopped and driven key samples, and a catchy vocal chop. "Move Slow" has its first proper release. "Billy O" finishes things off with a slamming, choppy club jam laden with strings and vocals.

Señor Gordon is back on Quintessentials. Colombia's number 1 when it comes to freaky house music delivers the goods again. Felipe Gordon has this incredible talent to mix so many different sounds and samples to create his unique style. Funky pianos (or maybe, sick ass chords!), wobbling basslines, jazzy samples, disco, and funk influences all combined together to make the "Felipe Gordon house sound". Sometimes more punchy, like "sick ass chords" and "the quint garage", sometimes more relaxed like "Girl, u don't know?" and "for those who?", but you just hear it's FG from B in C!

Italian air man Wearing Shoes is quite new to the scene. For Quintessentials, he teams up with Javonntte -- proper house music guaranteed! Roy Vision goes deep and dusty, with lovely Rhodes and snares!

Following on from the positive feedback for KRL's Third EP (QUINTESSE 062EP, 2018), Quintessentials had to give the standout track "Never Leave" the remix treatment. "Never Leave" is a straight up house track with those beats and rhythmic synths, but the outstanding vocals of Janine Small make it a head turner. The A-side remix, courtesy of Greymatter keeps the overall vibe of the original, but adds more dirt and bass business ready for club action. The B-side remix courtesy of Loz Goddard takes a step into deep broken beat territory while keeping the beautiful vocals.

Deep, raw, and real. Then NY*AK is the man! Andrew Scott has been releasing bottom-heavy, deep house groovers for many years on various top labels. Now it's time for Quintessentials. "After The Sun" is a deep, minimalistic and sexy groover featuring Franc Syx, and "Mind", a blissful and rich low-BPM tune for an early morning come down. "Vice" is a proper Detroit track -- bassline, strings, rims and snares -- and the funky and mellow "Onions" features Mark Hand.

After a remix and a compilation track for Quintessentials, Third is the third time that KRL appears on the label; it's also his third full EP. This EP is a mixture of two older ideas started in 2014 and two completely new tracks playing on a mixture of samples and field-recorded sounds. "Third" is multi- style: it's got proper house energy, with "Never Leave", a track that features the beautiful voice of Janine Small. It's got rough deepness with "Rhodes To Nowhere". It's got a bit of beat madness with "Confession Beat". And it's got sublime, fragile electronics with "Glacier".

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.
