Dutch producer deeB recently released his newest EP on Dusted Wax Kingdom. After his first EP called Daydream he made a selection of more organic/natural beats. Last year deeB played on the little stage Beatflakes hosted on Solar Festival . Simply because we knew this guy had some amazing tunes that are perfect to relax to in combination with some sunshine and a few beers. So when we heard about this new album we knew it couldn't disappoint us. And it didn't. It contains 9 beats so I'd rather approach this as being an [...]
On savoure aujourd'hui l'excellent dernier EP d'un artiste qui revient régulièrement dans nos sélections : Rampue . Le producteur Berlinois confirme qu'il faudra compter sur lui dans les années à venir et frappe un grand coup avec son nouvel EP ' Mama Was a Progrocker ' sorti sur le label Hambourgeois Audiolith . On retrouve quatre titres flirtant entre 'S low Deep house ' et Nu-disco . Un mélange ultra séduisant comme en témoigne l'immanquable ' Mama Was a Progrocker ', morceau planant et chaleureux à l'image de la [...]
To celebrate the first sunny days of spring, up-and-coming German electronic music producer Nicolas Janco, aka Parra for Cuva , is releasing a brand new EP featuring collaborations with fellow producer Mr Gramo and vocalist Anna Naklab. The 3-track EP, titled Fading Nights , strikes a perfect balance between pop, deep house, ambient and minimal. Naklab's beautiful heartfelt vocals sound mellow and soothing against the backdrop of hypnotizing beats, soaring melodies and ethereal synths. Equally influenced by Italian avant-garde pianist Ludovico Einaudi and British musician/DJ Bonobo, Parra for Cuva started his musical training with [...]
New Artist Discovery: MOJEK So happy we've discovered Mojek . We don't know too much about him. He also calls himself "Young Africa" and is aged a mere 20 years. He hails from Lagos, Nigeria . Though he is now based in Chicago, the African influence is in his blood and bones as most clearly seen in the EP he created for Global Ghetto called "Young Africa." This "Young Africa" EP , a free download , is a joy to behold and [...]
Votre session détente du Mardi soir vous est offerte par le duo berlinois Sebo & Madmotormiquel . Bien connu pour remuer les dancefloors aux heures profondes de la nuit, notamment avec leur collaboration avec les label phares Katermukke ou URSL, Sebo & Madmotormiquel signe leur dernier EP « Don’t Wanna Go to War » chez Darkroom Dubs, ayant déjà accueilli Soukie & Windish auparavant. Un changement de registre est à signaler avec leur titre « Take One Step Back » , bien plus popisant et détendu [...]
Les deux Allemands de Session Victim reviennent en force avec leur nouveau titre ' Random Blues ' qui sortira sur l'excellent label Wolf d'ici quelques jours en full version. Hauke et Matthias s'affirment chaque fois un peu plus dans un style qui leur est propre : une dose de house et de jazz accompagnée d'une pincée de blues funky et de vocals démentes. Le résultat est une fois de plus fantastique, un son chaud et inimitable made in Session Victim. Ces deux 'vinyls addicts' [...]

Esta é uma daquelas semanas em que ficar em casa não faz sentido nenhum, a começar já hoje com o senhor Duke Dumont, com Modselektor na quinta e depois no sábado com o aniversário do Lounge. As escolhas são muitas e até difíceis, mas para começar esta árdua tarefa ficam aqui alguns dos players ilustrativos deste fim de semana da nossa capital:
From Bonobo ’s new album The North Borders, “Towers” features songstress Szjerdene. Dig it.
Formed in early 2011 as a side project for singer/songwriter/multi-instru mentalist Kenny Vasoli, Vacationer is a unique combination of hypnotic electronic beats, soft vocals and serenity-inducing sonic arrangements. Think of it as Beach House meets the Balearic vibe of Washed Out , sprinkled with the playfulness of Body Language . Following the success of his critically acclaimed debut full-length Gone , Vasoli is back with a 6-track remix EP for latest single "Good As New", released via Downtown Records. The EP features reworks by the likes of Data Romance, Silent Rider, Les Professionnels, [...]

Immaginate: anni Sessanta, Francia. Voi, seduti nell'erba, in uno dei numerosi giardini dell' Île-de-France, assaporate un tiepido vento primaverile, conduttore di odori e stimoli nuovi, ed espressione di quello spirito di ribellione e rinnovamento che scuote e imperversa nelle nazioni tutte. Oppure: Parigi, Rive Gauche, passeggiate lungo la Senna, disquisendo sulle tendenze letterarie del momento (Keruac, Ginsberg, i mostri sacri della Beat Generation, che tanto vi ispirano ed accendono). Ebbene, queste due anime, queste tendenze, insieme a molte altre, convivono in April March & Aquaserge , disco frizzante e visionario che sancisce la prima collaborazione ufficiale fra l'eclettica cantautrice [...]
You may have heard that The Queen of the Beach, Annette Funicello, recently died at age 70. And, yes, she was a Mouseketeer on "the Mickey Mouse Club" tv series, and starred in the 'beach party' films of the Sixties. But what you gremmies and hodads must dig is that she ticks off a lot of boxes of things that fans of strange music like: exotica; Space Age; novelty music; funny/dumb/clever lyrics; bizarre musical hybrids (e.g.the Cuban/Hawaiian "Surfers' Luau," "Rock-a-Polka,") wild, highly energetic surf/early rock; lounge cheese; explorations of sleazy/kitschy Americana; collaborations with hipster faves like Dick Dale, Fishbone, and [...]
Deux mois après la sortie de leur très réussi Fayen EP sur Délicieuse Records , Hot Steppa revient avec son nouveau morceau ‘ Kids of Today ’ disponible en téléchargement gratuit . Un beau cadeau pour fêter l’arrivée du printemps! Toujours dans la même veine et avec une attention particulière portée aux détails, Félix & Vincent nous emmènent à nouveau dans leur univers deep et original avec cette nouvelle production. Une track douce et rafraichissante signée de [...]
On s’embarque pour une sacrée ballade ce soir sur la Délicieuse. Aux manettes, Walter Quintus , multi-instrumentiste de génie qui ne sortit que 300 exemplaires de son sublime album ‘Moments’ en 1987. Né en 1949, Walter a collaboré avec des grands noms de la musique contemporaine : Richie Beirach, John Bergamo, Phil Brown, Eric Clapton, Michel Godard, Gary Moore, et bien d’autres… Perdu dans les tréfonds boisés d’un record shop anglais, un exemplaire du vinyle du LP original est tombé entre les mains d’Alex Barck (aussi connu sous le nom de Jazzanova) qui eut un véritable coup [...]
Monday means building up to the weekend, again. No worries, Shak. has the perfect medicine for you to get through your heavy monday. His newest tune: "Same Time, Same Places" is pure meditation. Very chilly vibes and dreamy feel to this one. We're absolutely loving the new direction Shak. has chosen to take with his productions. This new sound is great. https://soundcloud.com/shaktaj iri/same-time-same-places Download
Gene M., one of our super-swell readers who contributed the lost files of Ruth Welcome's "Zither Magic" album recently, has gifted us with another album called "Zither Magic" that couldn't be more different. In contrast to Welcome's minimal one-(wo)man-band arrangements, old-world folkiness and classy '50s cocktail lounge feel, Karl Swoboda's "Zither Magic" is a big, brassy, fully orchestrated, swingin' Sixties album that reduces the role of the zither to a kind of almost surf-y lead guitar over twist/swim/frug-able versions of hit pop songs. Don't dread yet another [...]
Over the cheapest possible drum machine, Mr. Lynn Rockwell, from parts unknown, plays and sings everything on this private press wonder from 1970. An instro version of the James Brown classic "Night Train" kicks things off with plenty of swingin' horns, followed by the sweet clarinet blowing of "Blue Prelude," which also introduces Lynn's somewhat homely but lovable vocals. Wilbert Harrison's proto-rocker "Kansas City" is remade as a finger-snappin' jazzy lounge tune. Roller-rink organ joins the fun on such songs as "String of Pearls," originally by Glen Miller's big band, now rendered here by a very, very little band. [...]
This week I was mainly listening to Piero Umiliani's works, and was in search for all sorts of exotic stuff. Some of the findings I've thrown into this mixtape. Hope you'll enjoy it. If the above player doesn't work in ... Continue reading
Piero Umiliani, is the more of a 'lost gem' of Italian soundtracks composers, next to Morricone and Riz Ortolini. Nevertheless, his works in soundtracks like La Ragazza Fuori Strada or Il Corpo are simply amazing and worth checking. Another fun ... Continue reading
