Release Date: 28 May 2021

Based in the city of Ingolstadt, Koelle is a classically trained musician whose electronic music has made waves on labels such as Anjunadeep, This Never Happened, and Needwant.

For this release, he has collaborated with the UK’s Into the Ether, who himself has released on labels such as Songspire Records and The Purr.

CIOZ – Body Language Vol. 23 (Get Physical Music)

Body Language Vol. 23 is the much anticipated new compilation album from story-telling DJ and accomplished producer Cioz.

The Body Language album series has been a flagship for the Get Physical label since the mid-noughties, with instalments taken over by Dixon, DJ Hell, Francesco Tristano, DJ T., and many more. Now the label welcomes the excellent Cioz into the hot set.

Volume 23 is packed with Cioz remixes, collaborations, and standout singles from the well-regarded and self-taught artist. Some are brand new, some have been teased on EPs in the lead up to the full release, but each one proves he is an artist with an accomplished sound. Cioz hails from Bergamo in Italy and has established a fine reputation on labels like Monaberry and Stil vor Talent.

Body Language Vol. 23 opens with ‘Soul Fixer,’ a slow-building, slow-burning synth-scape filled with drama and tension. Then comes his subtle yet superb remix of M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade’s stone-cold classic ‘Body Language’ with its irresistible lead melody line. The first of many collabs is with Corpino on ‘Kari Lampi,’ a slick and supple minimal house track awash with gorgeous strings. Further collaborations include the bustling drums and fizzing synths of ‘Hey Honey’ with T.M.A, late-night headiness of ‘Haunted’ with Nairobi D, and organic grooves of punchy floor-filler ‘Focus Pocus’ with Boy Oh Boy.

At the midpoint, there is depth and darkness to the turbulent synths of ‘Imperfection’ with &lez, and then beautiful tension between the tight bass and beautiful melodic breakdown of ‘Warm Worm’ with Sides. The fantastic ‘Jodi Rush’ with Super Flu is sure to twist heads on the dance floor with its complex synth patterns, and a Lucky Shot Extended Mix of ‘Dancing in the Night’ has a perfectly soulful vocal over rubbery house grooves. Much loved Cioz tunes ‘Rain’ and his Neapolis Remix of Patrice Bäumel’s ‘Clair’ from earlier EPs make the cut and lend yet more depth and enchanting melody to this most thoughtful and atmospheric of electronic journeys.

With Body Language Vol. 23, Cioz proves he is an artist with a wide range of different, equally emotive house styles in his arsenal.

Uri Mood – Yekeke (Sumision Records)

SP
Tras el éxito de la remezcla de ‘Dasanah (Uri Mood Remix)’, Uri Mood vuelve a nuestro sello, esta vez con una referencia propia, ‘Yekeké (Original Mix)’. Un track cargado de elementos africanos, étnicos, e infinitas percusiones, pero tratadas desde un concepto mucho más profundo.

Vocales que evocan parajes desérticos, y una energía que hace bailar sin prácticamente elemetos melódicos. Las remezclas a cargo de DJ PP y Josh Grover, completan un EP con diferentes matices, que van del Deep Tech al Afro-house, sin duda un disco del que vale la pena escuchar todas sus variantes.

After the success of the remix of ‘Dasanah (Uri Mood Remix)’, Uri Mood is back to our label, this time with an original release called ‘Yekeké (Original Mix)’. After the success of the remix of ‘Dasanah (Uri Mood Remix)’, Uri Mood is back to our label, this time with an original release called ‘Yekeké (Original Mix)’. A track plenty of African and ethnic elements, and endless percussions, but with a lot of deep elements on it.

Vocals that evoke desert landscapes, and an energy that makes you dance with practically no melodic elements. The remixes by DJ PP y Josh Grover turns ‘Yekeké’ into a solid EP with different nuances, ranging from Deep Tech to Afro-house, undoubtedly an album worth listening to all its variants.

Joe Silva – Late For Lunch EP (Purespace Recordings)

Where is he? He’s late again. Probably caught in traffic. Why can’t he leave on time? I’ll just order another moon tart. ‘Ting!’ What’s this? Oh cool, a new Purespace Recordings release. Lemme check this out. First track, “Late For Lunch”. Okay. Joe Silva playing some spooky flute sounds over a deep jazzy house groove. Nice. This’ll kill some time.

Next a remix of the above by Andrew Duke (Van Czar Series, Nice & Nasty, Colour and Pitch). Hmm, bouncy house beats with buzzy ‘80s funk bass and what sounds like an approaching steam locomotive. I can get into this.

Another remix, this time by GabeReality. Never heard of him. Must be new. Harder sound on this one. Going for that deep-tech vibe I guess. They take that loopy flute sound and mash it nicely around some dark drops and builds. Hypnotic and darker. Keeper for sure.

The last track “Returning Soon” is back on the deep house vibe. Crunched vocal snips playing off a main vocoded voice riff that I can’t quite make out. No flute, but seems interspersed with occasional guitar or ukulele plucks, I can’t decide which. Pretty dubby overall. I’ll have to listen again.

And there he is, finally. Ten minutes late. “I’m over here!” Mmm, moon tarts.
