This is a pretty exciting project! Black Rose is what you get if you stick Jesse Rose and Henrik Schwarz into a studio together... and the result is... well... an anthem. "This ad lib project came about organically after Henrik suggested he play live while Jesse DJ’d and after just a few performances, has been dubbed the best ever Live/DJ collaboration by Groove Magazine. Soon after, the talented twosome took to the studio with nothing more but a shared passion for infectious grooves and by casting away the fast food electronic sub genres that have [...]
A great Play It Down advanced preview to end the week... This one comes from Alias Jonez and its the brand new Beating My Drum EP. If you like the thought of a repetitive vocal over some tech/deep house beats then your in luck cause its like that but also sparse and hypnotic :) Still waiting for a TBC release in January next year sometime.

Well since it's so close to Christmas and we've been pushing the interviews so hard lately I thought I'd give you something special today, an interview with Jesse Rose's Made To Play and Mowgli's Deadfish favourite, Round Table Knights. Here's a cheeky preview of their album coming in Feb 2011! Round Table Knights - Say What?! feat. Ogris Debris I caught up with Biru and Marc last week at the Lock Tavern, where they were playing a set on a Sunday night at [...]
SLG mieszka w Łodzi i grywa muzykę elektroniczną w klubach całej Polski, ale kto wie czy nie jest bardziej znany poza granicami naszego kraju. Trafiłem właśnie na jego nowy secik dla Made to Play i nie znając tracklisty zajarałem się numerem, który okazał się kolejnym sztosem wychodzącym spod ręki Łukasza Seligi . Zresztą sprawdźcie sami: SLG & Smolny - Turnaround ! (nie pozwalają wklejać...) Cały set oczywiście bardzo gorąco polecam, bo w klimatach disco-house dawno nie słyszałem tak dobrej selekcji. Ściągniecie [...]
Round Table Knights Round Table Knights , the left-field house music duo out of Bern, Switzerland, are prepping their debut album, Say What?!, to be released in February on Jesse Rose 's always classic Made to Play imprint. Though they've been together for several years, this has been the year that they've really started to take off with their Calypso and Cut to the Top EP's, also out on Made to Play. They're sending us off with one more two-track EP to hold us over [...]
Round Table Knights have been with us for over 4 years now, initially banging out Baltimore type bootlegs ' Freak from Desire '. However since those early Institube beginnings they have targeted the more House and Tech end of the market with tracks like Calypso , Stomper and their recent all conquering remix of Ten Snake - Coma Cat. This has been a positive move as their profile and reputation has grown with every release and now they are ready to release their debut album ' Say What?! '. At times I have felt that RTK [...]

One day until Thanksgiving and I am thoroughly excited to grub on the giant 22 pound, free range turkey that my mom purchased from some awesome grocery store in Memphis. Anyway, I hope that all you dirty dancers have an amazing Thanksgiving tomorrow and travel safe to wherever you may. After you awaken out of your Tryptophan food comas on Friday afternoon, make sure you come on by the Avalon to dance off your excessive caloric intake as Made To Play frontman, Jesse Rose , will be on the 1's + 2's along with Boys Noize [...]
If you fancy doing some Play It Down revision well your in luck as they've put up all the releases in a convenient set... Get intimate with Made To Play's little sister label... Play it Down by Made to Play SlothBoogie
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan and supporter of Jesse Rose 's Made to Play imprint and the extended family of left-field house music producers that have gravitated towards it. When Rose started the label five years ago, the goal was simple: to create dance music for the dance floor - no albums full of filler downtempo/experimental/weird-i n-the-bad-sense-of-the-word tracks with only one or two titles ready for floor play. Don't get me wrong, artistic experimentation and alternative expression are good and great but there's a time and a place. Made to Play is as honest a [...]
PID004 - SLG & Smolny "Turnaround EP" by Made to Play There's a new Play It Down release from SLG & Smolny and boy is this one a tune! Turnaround is deep, dark and menacing version of the cheesy classic sing-a-long from Farley Jack Master Funk - Love Can't Turnaround! Here's the original video... they really don't make them like this anymore... SlothBoogie
