CLUB DANCE BEAT PARTY BRIGADE

TOOT TOOT LOOK OUT IT'S THE CLUB DANCE BEAT PARTY BRIGADE COMING TO ENFORCE THE VIBEY DANCE TIMES

Moving on from an all-jazz unmixed playlist, here's a recording of me pretending to remember I DJ past dinner time occasionally. There's some Melbourne-via-Detroit sort of cosy deep house that eventually bleeds into some more open-aired atmossy stuff. I'm quite fond of this one. Hope you enjoy!

Got some nice techno / darkish electronic stuff here. This new Soulphiction 12" on Philpot Records is real nice. Kinda somewhere between deep house and lounge acid, it's a nice mellow groove, subdued and warm. Really like the progression and the care taken with the arrangement. Proper quality stuff from ze German producer.

Very fond this remix by our pals Rio Lobotomy for Cosmonaut on their latest Bang Gang 12 Inches release. A slow and large vocal techish thing with the Rio boys' usual exquisite drum programming. Exceptionally tight stuff, I adore their pinpoint groove precision, it's rather unique. The EP is worth lending an ear to, it's fab local talent.

This Kassem Mosse tune is a bit different for me - real dark moody techno which sucks me in deep. Not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure but the hypnotic droning and vast atmospheric landscape make my head cave in a little bit. It's a good thing. Like right after sex when your mind is completely blank and you're in a state of excellent nothingness.

Taking a step back to funkier lands, Melbourne chap Francis Inferno Orchestra is popping out records at a rate of knots. The Nicholas remix of one of his latest efforts is a beautiful deep lounge / bumping house gem, really simple and really quality. Nothing needs to be explained, it just works perfectly and that's that.

We have goooooood shit coming up in November. We're doing a show with Pantha du Prince, a warehouse party with Tornado Wallace playing all night long, a Das Moth gig and a Death Strobe Sunday Sesh. Happy days!

The latest Majestys Pleasure is wheely wheely cool. The A1, a slight edit of Booker T's Don't Stop Your Love, is way too juicy. Although the intro sounds like it's the only thing that's been drastically touched, it's the mastering of the record that's seriously impressive. The whole thing is A-grade marbled beef, fat and tender with beautiful clarity. It's one of those handy records where all four tracks are 100% usable in a nice variety of situations - something you can keep in your bag at all times that makes you feel nice and safe. Lurvly release.

More Melbourne Deepcast hot sauce - MD002 is from Francis Inferno Orchestra and Andy Hart. It's an obvious winner. I'm so thoroughly impressed that Melbourne has developed such a distinct deep sound. So many talented dudes, so much good vibe. This record isn't quite as varied as the last, the three tracks are all hovering around a warmth-factor of 9, but that's totally fine with me. The Francis Inferno Orchestra B2 is especially beautiful, a fluttery louge disco jam saturated in soul. Andy and FIO's collab is just great - the vocal samples are fantastic, they make me want to listen to this track all day.

Andy Hart & Francis Inferno Orchestra - D2ME [buy]

This record - I guess you'd call it a reissue of sorts - that Mike Simonetti & Johnny Jewel (of Glass Candy) have put out is really fab. Four versions of a track penned by Gloria Sklerov that make up quite a charming release. Each of the interpretations has a unique and wonderful element that makes it great - the vocals in the ballad version are just awesome, the Disconet remix is disco slamming, the music in the German version is fucking killer and the piano in the piano version is obviously pretty tops.

Mike Simonetti & Johnny Jewel - Hollywood Seven (Piano Version) [buy]

Italian label Really Swing has quickly become one of my absolute faves - picked up the first two records by Quiroga the other week and they're astonishingly good! Sitting somewhere between trip hop, IDM and 'other', listening just once through makes it pretty clear the guy is a bit of a genius. These two tracks from the first record are so wonderful, but it's the segue inbetween that really gets me grinning every time so I thought I'd be a bit risqué and double up. So awesome. Check out this stunning mix by Quiroga as well if the sun's out where you are. Marvellous.

Quiroga - Liberati Funk + Wade Miller [buy]

September is going to be gargantuan, will harp on about all sorts of good goings on in coming posts. xx
