Darksidevinyl – Ulu EP (TOR Music)

Release Date: Friday 22 October 2021
Format: Digital

Darksidevinyl makes his return to When We Dip’s record label TOR with a sensual organic house release.

Based in Vienna, Darksidevinyl is an Egyptian artist who has featured on other labels ranging from Selador to Akbal Music. He previously dropped a collaborative EP on TOR that was produced alongside Ucha, and this time he is back with a two-track solo release.

His previous outing on TOR became an instant classic with its jazz-funk-infused percussive flavour, and the epic synth lines and organic textures of this new release are equally as impressive.

“Ulu” opens the release with its throbbing bass synth overlaid with flamenco style guitar licks, and delicate piano chords that lead to the tribal chanting of the breakdown. “Kizza” is second on the EP, and its deeper vibe builds towards a crescendo with a serene guitar and psychedelic vocals that create an irresistible groove.

Windows – Transcendence EP (Berlin Bass Collective)

Release Date: – Monday, November 8 2021

Berlin Bass Collective return with another big league record, an EP that brings together genres and vibes in the way that great records often do. Releasing this November we present Windows (prev DJ Windows XP) ‘Transcendence’, a record that keeps the emotion at the core of the composition.

This epic 4 tracker kicks off with the deep rolling groove of ‘All the things you are’, a track that sits nicely between club heat and a more personal experience. Featuring some masterful sample cuts which form a solid thread you can follow through the sonic journey of the whole EP. ‘Sunset Love’ follows and is aptly described by the artist as “the feeling of being transported into Akira, riding a light cycle on the highway around Tokyo in year 3000 while the sun is setting into the background…” – a track representing a dreamy melodic House style, equally adept at taking you to another place as it is at making you move.

On the flip side ‘Secrets’ takes this dreamy sound work in a more transcendental direction. Like putting the world in slow motion during a partriculary epic and uplifting moment. Rounding out the record we have ‘Long Gone’. A bittersweet closer, leave your problems in the past as life moves on to a new place and time. ‘Transcendence’ is a high water mark for all ecompassing, emotive melodic House music.

Michael Manahan – Broke The Time Clock (Uniting Souls Music)

Seattle’s Uniting Souls Music welcomes back Michael Manahan to the fold with his rapturous new single Broke The Time Clock. Manahan has been active in the northwest US scene for over twenty years, co-founding the Oracle Gatherings and producing the Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival, two well-established North American dance music events. his first single for Uniting Souls, “Regulate The Deep,” introduced many dancefloors to his flavor of deep house — and this latest cut will undoubtedly expand this audience.

“Broke The Time Clock” swirls with gated chords, synth builds, an angelic vocal calling from deep in the track, and bass-heavy rhythms. The vibe is spacey and cosmic, accentuated by a futuristic vocoder breakdown. On the remix side, Florida’s Atnarko (Infiltr8:Celebr8) delivers a version that begins hypnotically, with percussive chimes and pulsing pads implying the passing of the moments. A chunky rhythm pushes the vibe in motion as sonic layers and trippy treatments shimmer in the mix. Jamie Schwabl (Wulfpack, Hunt & Gather) pulls things even deeper with an evocative minimal rerub that features amazing sound design and atmosphere. And the duo of Jordan Strong & Knoe1, no strangers to Uniting Souls, have the final say with a remix that draws on the fabled West Coast Sound and puts their distinctive spin on it. These tunes are ready for immediate late night deployment!
