Image by Nicolas Kennedy Sitton [Rush Hour Recordings] Although I've never been, I remember reading someplace that Amsterdam is a funk-and-soul kind of city. If this is true, it definitely seems to bleed through into the house scene. Where The Hague and Rotterdam are frequently characterized by nu-Italo and rigid, corrosive electro, Amsterdam [...]

Proper loving the pumping stuff coming out of Rush Hour records these days. They are releasing a new compilation of the latest underground tracks coming out of the Amsterdam house scene away from the big arena's thats clouding peoples view of the Amsterdam sound. Some pretty wicked stuff in there if you give it a listen... very pumping party time stuff "The album includes contributions from long-time Rush Hour affiliates like Awanto3, San Proper and Tom Trago as well as music from extended family members such as Boris Werner, Dexter, Melon, Juju [...]

Wann kommt bloß eine neue Platte von Newworldaquarium raus? Amsterdams Jochem Peteri, der Mann hinter Newworldaquarium, hält sich wie immer bedeckt. Man hört, dass ein Remix für Vidab demnächst erscheinen soll. Es bleibt also spannend. In der Zwischenzeit ein zweistündiges DJ-Set des Amsterdamers aus dem New Yorker Club The Bunker. Himmlischen House und nautischen Techno gibt es nach dem Click. Newworldaquarium dj @ The Bunker, NY by Delsin Records

As making money off of recorded music inches closer and closer to complete impracticality, most producers are forced to DJ and play live or at the least tour more than they might otherwise. The result is an even more crowded landscape overstuffed with DJs, sometimes a good thing for the punters - now overwhelmed with choice - but also making it even harder for a DJ to stand out, overloading the spectrum with mediocre people who probably shouldn't be DJs in the first place. It makes a good DJ set all the more impressive, which is why for my chart [...]

Pacific Horizons - Universal Horizons ( buy ) It doesn't get much better than this in terms of full on balearic psychedelia. Pacific Horizons have just followed up Universal Horizons with a new 12" entitled The Forest Electric . Newworldaquarium - Trespassers ( buy ) Trespassers was originally released back in 2000 on Delsin . To say it still sounds fresh 10 years on is not going far enough, [...]

[ Peacefrog ] ( buy vinyl ) A couple months ago LWE's Jordan Rothlein, while reviewing the latest Sound Signature record , painted a picture of house heads letting out a massive "Ohhhhh, dude" at the mere mention of Theo Parrish's name. I would submit that Parrish's European counterpart is none other than Newworldaquarium, to whom praise and t-shirt endorsements flow almost unimpeded. And the "Ohhhh, dude"s flow freely here as well, but in this case as natural, knee-jerk reactions to Peteri's submerged and hypnotic grooves. With records [...]

[ M>O>S Recordings ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) Listening to Delsin's reissue of Until My Heart Stops… by Ross 154, born as Jochem Peteri but best known as Newworldaquarium, trying to pin down its exact origins blindly gets a little tricky. If you gauged it straight from the original M>O>S release date you can see that it came out 2004. But if you read the absurdist back-story printed with the press release you get pointed to a possible 1993 inception having been found on cassette in [...]

Jakub why do you post music like Avon Sparkle that sounds like the matchless soundtrack to a late night exploration of Africa's west coast shoreline you may ask? or expect us to melt and mold with the warm of Kirana's Lament that might make us feel like were on vacation in a humid jungle that has us surrounded by sugar cane and panthers? how do you expect us to be able to listen to NoworldbutU when the molasses pace might only be perfect when i've fallen asleep in a dark room in the afternoon [...]

March 26, 2010 The Bunker Podcast 66: Newworldaquarium This set was recorded live at Unsound Festival New York at The Bunker in Brooklyn on February 5, 2010. Although we really didn't know what to expect from Newworldaquarium as he joined us at The Bunker for his debut American performance, we weren't really all THAT surprised when he pulled out this set which tore the house down and became a festival highlight for almost everyone we talked to. You can read more about him here . [...]

For our second year-end report, LWE correspondent Peder Clark showcases the top five reissues from 2009 When contributors to LWE were discussing end of year lists amongst ourselves, a colleague commented that "this past year has seemed so exciting to me, it's amazing how much of what's got me revved up has been compilations and reissues." I found myself agreeing with him - It might have been a pointed comment about the perceived weakness of much of this year's output, but it might just as easily be read as praise for the huge quantity of impressive [...]
Look at all those buttons I was listening to Astro Unicorn Radio the other day and this sweet ass track came on. I instantly looked it up and was pleased to see that it was part of an album filled with even more sweet tracks! Voyage Direct is Tom Trago's Debut album and is partially comprised of singles he's released over the last few years. From start to finish, this album rocks and has an amazing variety of track styles. If I [...]

[ NWAQ ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3s ) A fellow LWE contributor, writing for a rival website, admitted to initially questioning the wisdom of tasking Âme to remix Newworldaquarium. Dismissing much of their output as merely "a number of decent house records", the charge leveled at Messrs Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann was that they lacked the caliber to add any new perspective to NWAQ's singular vision. While most impartial observers may not share that particular view, the match up did seem a little curious at first glance. The [...]

Various - (Delsin 2.0) "Remix EP" #1 (Newworldaquarium/Taho/Redshap e/Quince) (buy) The first in a two part series of remixes from the always on form Delsin label comes courtesy of Newworldaquarium/ Taho/Redshape/Quince. Where we get a masterclass from all four producers in how to live up to a remix that's equally as good as the original. The man in the mask, Redshape steps up to the plate and pulls of an absolute stellar remix on Newworldaquarium's highly rated deep house come techno anthem, "Trespassers". I don't think Delsin could have given the remix duties to anyone else but [...]
