Stefano Ritteri // Nice Up Your Dance EP

Previously releasing crunked up house on the likes of dirtybird, Sound Pellegrino and Exploited under the Solo moniker, Stefano Ritteri returns with the ‘Nice Up Your Dance’ EP on suitably chameleon-like Pets Recordings. Excited by the prospect of releasing a body of work under his real name, Ritteri’s latest output has already been snapped up by Defected and Saved. The new three track ep straddles the more exuberant edges of house with a skilled and serious production sensibility, and invites UK mainstays Jaymo and Andy George to perform remix duties. 

‘Nice Up Your Dance’ opens the show with its audacious guitar riff, vintage key work, whimsical vocal sample and relentless party claps, a staple of Ritteri’s club focused productions. While ‘Nice Up Your Dance’ works to tease you into a knowing smile, ‘Let Us Pray’ steps up with a take-your-breath-away bassline, leading the way for the ultra-nostalgic melody line and pitch-shifted vocal. Jaymo and Andy George take things one step further, giving ‘Let Us Pray’ a thick and sultry rework. Here, the bassline truly is all consuming, while dissonant rings add an extra edge to the sonorous vocal sample. 

A weird yet very welcome added string to the Pets Recordings bow, Stefano Ritteri’s first outing on the Polish label is sure to set tongues wagging. (Pets Recordings SC, 2013) Beatport here.

World Moustache Vol. 1

The love for house music and all its derivatives a label with a fairly large projection display we know that the road is long but there is love for what we do. The need of a different stamp focused on genres and productions that are at the level of the world stage looking for new talent but the hand of the more experienced. House, deep house, tech house. From the Groove more latino, elegance in the European beats, African percussion, touches burlesques, fun bass but above all authentic is the fusion that will have MOUSTACHE. (Moustache BP, 2012) Beatport here!

Metal EP // Darius Syrossian & Friends

For his debut on OFF Recordings, Darius Syrossian presents one of his most hyped tracks of the year: “Metal”, a collaboration with Hector Couto. It has been hammered since months by the few big names (e.g. Jamie Jones, Steve Lawler etc.) who were lucky enough to get an advance promo, and countless release requests on Soundcloud are further proof to the stir this track creates. A trademark jacking groove combined with a deep but driving bassline and a meandering synth hook that’s as catchy as it is cool create a true underground bomb. Jordan Peak delivers a straight and upbeat remix.”Bass Play”, a collaboration with Josh Butler, completes the package: another strong groove, this time completed by a slightly insane synth hook in the break. (Off Recordings SC, 2012)

Niconé & Sascha Braemer // United Colors of Language

Last year’s ‘Romantic Thrills’ album was testament to Niconé & Sascha Bramer’s impressive knack for delicate melodies and soothing vocals, seamlessly woven into powerful house music thanks to the warm pulse of the kick drum. Here, on their new EP ‘United Colors of Language’, the duo delivers three stunning tracks to rival their previous output in both, romanticism and danceability.

On the A1, the vocalist Narra once again lends her fabulous voice to an arrangement of harmonious guitar loops and euphoric build-ups. Much like ‘Caje’ before it, ‘Rej Senhor’ sets itself apart as an all-round secret weapon that will work in the club or at an open air, during peak-time and after-hour alike. A little more forward, ‘Cold World’ loops a fluidly rolling piano towards a break in which Niconé’s own vocals bedazzle. Finally, the pair draws us into an Algerian lullaby in the form of ‘Raoui’, which combines the empathy and melancholy of ethnic folk music with a hands-in-the-air groove.

With this standout EP Niconé & Sascha Bramer achieve what they set out to do – they prove that music is the most powerful language of all! (Stil vor Talent SC, 2012) Beatport here!

AKA AKA & Thalstroem // Varieté Remixed

One year after their successful debut “Varieté” which stayed on #1 of the Amazon techno sales charts for weeks and was voted one of the top10 albums of 2011 by the readers of Germany’s Groove and Partysan magazine, AKA AKA & Thalstroem got together 31 remixers who made reinterpretations of their original tracks. Besides well known artists like Marek Hemmann, Moonbootica or Turntable Rocker, old stagers like Technasia or Axel Bartsch, a lot of newcomers are on the boat. Stereo Express, Dirty Doering, Joachim Pastor, umami, Hanne&Lore, Rampa and Joris Delacroix.
