Mona Lee Presents EP
Mona Lee aka Lissa Callens and WPH label man Red D go a long way back. Red D always knew it was a matter of time before Mona Lee would come up with some music he could not refuse. A gig together and the first notes of The Reason and that was that. Classic house that would make Kerri Chandler proud is the order of the title track. A bright piano melody, a good vocal hook and rough and ready beats in a crisp production that will shake up any dancefloor. Red D himself delivers a dub that focuses on the hooks and makes them shine even more on top of a killer funky bass line. For good U.S. house measure Atlantas finest Stefan Ringer steps up to deliver his trademark dusty twist on things. As a bonus you get Spaces & Places, a delicate organic deep house beauty with Mona Lee scatting ever so subtly to make you go out of your home and out of your head. Its house, its good and it will make you dance and sing.

Oh Oh EP
Heres Oh Oh, the latest three-track digital release from Apparel Music, set to grace the airwaves on December 13, 2024. This record marks the unveiling of Flying Moth, a new project embodying the artists most personal and intimate sonic journey to date. Leading up to the EPs release, the evocative single Sky Is Looking At Me - out on November 22, 2024 - offers a glimpse into this carefully crafted musical world. With Flying Moth, the artist strips away all pretensions, allowing for a raw and unfiltered expression of his artistic essence. The maturity gained through years of exploration culminates here, where sensitivity is communicated with honesty and transparency. A seamless fusion of Broken Beat, Jazz, and House music permeates the record, resulting in a soundscape both distinctive and deeply original. The opening Sky Is Looking At Me sets the tone with a Nu-Jazz/West London flavour, an elegant nod to the rich lineage of contemporary jazz-infused rhythms. As the beat goes on, Set Me Free and the title track Oh Oh delve deeper into classic House territories, where the producers sonic soul comes to life. These two tracks are brimming with the timeless energy of house, yet remain steeped in the same artistic honesty that defines this entire project. Oh Oh is the bold statement of an artists evolution, a testament to the beauty found in vulnerability, and a tribute to the cross-pollination of musical genres that shape this intimate and nuanced release.

Iron Curtis and Johannes Albert return to orbit with their highly anticipated Moon IV, the next chapter in their acclaimed lunar album series.

Blue Skies (Fouk Remix)
Lazy Days is delighted to welcome New Zealander, Berlin based producer Philippa to the family. A breath of fresh air in the current musical landscape, her sudden rise on the scene in the last few years might make you think shes a newcomer, but her story tells otherwise. Going back to the late 90s in Auckland New Zealand, she held many residencies, opening up for international acts such as Derrick Carter, Carl Craig, François K, and even a certain Fred Everything! Her early influences included Chicago House and the early french touch sound of Motorbass. She was also working at BPM Record Store and a host/dj on national radio (George FM). In 2013, she relocated to Berlin. In a city where everyone is an aspiring DJ, she put her own DJ career on pause to work as a teacher at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts & Technology. Having access to studios and musical equipment, she spent her weekends learning about synthesizers, samplers and sound design. In 2019, she established her label At Peace to release her first EPs. Since then, shes had acclaimed releases on labels such as Sloth Boogie, Razor n Tape, and of course Freerange, with a notable recent collaboration with label boss, Jimpster for their 300th release. She was also asked to remix New Zealands Fat Freddys Drop, Roach Motel (Defected/FAITH) and James Curd feat. Robert Owens. The EP opens up with the title track, Blue Skies, driven by a live bass, rolling high hats and piano hooks. The strings come in gradually to introduce the bluesy vocal sample. Darlin is next with its delicate shuffle jazz brush snares. Listen For A Heart Sound drives us home with a light jazzy rhythm section, live bass, plenty of guitar and Rhodes solo. On remix duty, we have the dynamic Dutch duo FOUK bringing their straight to the dancefloor remixing skills on Blue Skies. Known for their live sounding funk driven sound, they released on Dam Swindles Heist Recordings, Shall Not Fade, Razor-N-Tape, and their own OUTPLAY.

Mackerel Skies
D.S.D. is back with four deep house slammers to rock floors and crowds. First up, title track Mackerel Skies goes heads down with a wangy 303 bass, spacy synth chords, a rising lead and drums that rock. The piano drops with a nod to the rave days, before everything blends for a heads down pumper. Jealous keeps the tempo up and takes the beats a bit more disco. Burbling synths, vocodered vocal sample, synth stabs and arps bring the positive vibes. FuQueue keeps a light touch with summery arps, gorgeous piano chords and a riffing vocal. Late nights or early mornings, you decide. Finishing things off, Pocket Sand is deep and funky, with big reverbed synths plus a popping bass and delayed keys.

Have Faith (Compiled by Ryan Elliott)
Celebrating not just Ryan Elliotts faith in a vital new generation of producers and DJs, but five years of his own meticulously curated Faith Beat imprint, Have Faith is a bold new chapter for the Panorama Bar veteran. Before relocating to Berlin, Elliott cut his teeth spinning Detroit, so he pays it forward on this 34-track compilation, shining a dazzling spotlight on the local scenes and breaking new artists that promise to keep American dance music moving as it lurches towards a new era. When he was based in the US, Elliott realized how distant Europe felt for homegrown artists not just philosophically, but physically. Two years ago, he set about excavating the USs underground architecture, pooling contacts and tracks, and urging his wide network of friends to send over their best recommendations. The compilation coalesced organically, and pulls together a diverse canon of producers, offering them the global exposure they urgently need. Eighty percent of the tracks are from up-and-coming US-based artists from the Midwest and beyond, so with the 10th release on his label, Elliott lays down a glimpse of a possible future of underground house and techno that counters the scenes contemporary Eurocentricity. This music was born in the US, and its evolution might still be in American hands.

His tracks have been featured on renowned labels like Franky Rizardos LTF Records, Folamours House Of Love, and most notably Cécille, where he made a splash in April this year with his Chaos EP. The release garnered widespread acclaim and heavy rotation from top-tier artists such as Marco Carola, Fleur Shore, Franky Rizardo, Pawsa, and Dennis Cruz. With such a strong debut, theres every reason to keep an eye out for the follow-up to his most successful release to date. Title-cut Timeless leads with an amalgamation of swirling, intertwined synth lines, chuggy bass tones, sweeping filters and breathy vocals running atop a bouncy organic drum groove. Phunky follows and as the name would suggest infuses a funk energy via to a snaking bass groove, intricate congas and choppy guitar hits. On the flip-side, Slipstream strips things back to crisp drums, a bouncy bass groove, and fluttering arpeggios intertwined with plucked bass notes and chord stabs. Wavy then concludes the vinyl release on a more Disco House tip with airy keys, groovy bass licks and low-slung drums.

Feeling Mumbled Remixes
Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén adds to a glistening catalogue of remixes with a stripped and proggy take on James Curd's Feeling Mumbled. As well an impressive and consistent catalogue of releases and remixes, Baby Rollén's amassed a strong collection of DJ mixes and radio shows. He's guested for the likes of Ollie Rant, Hutch and Feel My Bicep's Swoose and has recorded solo mixes for Gottwood, Slothboogie and Origins; point being - he knows how to get it done in the booth and this remix certifies that notion unequivocally. His remix is an ultimately playable DJ tool; one that renders an after hours sunrise as chords bounce of the tracks surface like rays of light while tight, nifty shuffles interlock with a bouncing bass line. Like a morning salute, the track gently stretches out across it's duration with a magical intensity that stays far from boiling over but keeps you dialled in regardless. 'Next up, a bonafide legend of UK House steps in with his take on the original. Through his beloved and long-running Hudd Traxx label, Eddie's amassed a label roster that is nothing short of unfathomable. Herbert, Nightmares On Wax, Rick Wade, DJ Sneak and Chez Damier have all featured and his release catalogue is equally gilded having released music on Jovonn's Body n' Deep, Phil Weeks' Robsoul and Luke Solomon's Classic. The guy's CV alone gives us a hint as to what to expect and from the first few bars, it's clear to hear what we're in for: raw, bustling House that rolls out with beautiful energy whilst kicking and punching in all the right places.'

Breathe (Rocco Rodamaal Remixes)
The second single from Fred Everythings album Love, Care, Kindness & Hope features UK singer/songwriter James Alexander Bright. The original connection came from a Groove Armada song that Fred remixed (Talk Talk) which featured James on vocals. James is known for his work on K7! and more recently with a new album On Athens Of The North. Breathe was built around a shuffly broken beat, a driving bass line and deep chords. The track also features Wayne Tennant on back vocals and Pete Whitfield on Strings. The original was championed by Colleen Cosmo Murphy on her Balearic Breakfast show as well as supported by Black Coffee, Jazzanova, Peter Kruder, Rainer Trueby.

MAW222 MAW LOST TAPES 18 Blue Moon During all the late-night Masters At Work studio sessions (in the 90s), many new creations came about, some were used, some were put on the side for future use, and some just sat on the 2-inch tapes for decades. This is one that MAW had in mind for a seasoned house singer but never came to fruition as a full song. These vibes were strictly groove-oriented but had melody already for words to be put on the notes played or at least some guidelines. This one is smooth and two simple chords develop the feeling with driving beats and big snares. Then, it breaks out into a four-chord melodic chorus-like section which gives you that lift. Feels like its inspired by one of my fav early 80s instrumental bands Hiroshima (if Hiroshima went house :), thats just a hunch. Who knows maybe we will get a song on it, but for now here you have the raw out-the-studio late-night instrumental vibes entitled Blue Moon. Fifth Time Out The keyapellas were a version that Masters At Work did in the early years where we would give you the track with no drums so you could work two records or versions while DJing. Fifth Time Out is a track we came up with ironically without drums, these days you can add your own drums a track like this. We thought why not let everyone hear a track we started without the beat who knows someone may just add a dope beat to it!! We will add one anyway Im sure while messing around in the studio. This track also calls for some melody and lyrics with a wonderful voice!!! Enjoy the sounds of Fifth Time Out, a track done in its entirety in the mid 90s !!!!! From the MAW LOST TAPES!!!

Akoko Ajeji
Akoko Ajeji means Strange Time in Yoruba. All the tracks on this album are in complex polymeter, meaning that they use multiple time signatures simultaneously. Each instrumental part is composed in a different meter, and consequently the instruments shift phase or slip relative to each other. For example, the bass could be in 4/4, the organ in 5/4, the hi-hat in 7/4, and so on. Loops of different lengths gradually diverge and converge, producing intricate but non-random patterns of interference that resemble improvisation. The albums themes are trance, music, and dancing, and its titles are in Yoruba because Yoruba has evocative words for these themes. Polymeter determines not only the rhythm, but the melody and harmony too, using techniques that are as radical as the pitch sets of atonal music were in the 1920s. Korda created a custom MIDI sequencer in order to make this album, and the result is a new approach to composition, and a new type of algorithmic music. Akoko Ajeji extends polymeter into new domains such as permutational harmony generation, and fuses algorithmic music with techno and jazz.

Drum Machine Soul EP (Part One)
Rob Redford has over the last year been gaining a well-deserved hype with his deep and old school jackin' interpretation of Chicago and Detroit house music. On his debut for Local Talk Rob takes an ultra-deep surge into the dark electronic soul of drum machines and MPCs. The EP ranges from the quirky bassline-driven house track 'Imagine' to a Detroit-ish deep house jam entitled 'MPC Soul' and ends with the jazzy and broken-ish 'Shades Of Blue'. Proper deepness for the house heads!
