Seka Music Bristol

20th Jan 2013 | 2 notes

I don’t even play vinyl, maybe I just wish I did?

I think I saw someone say that it’s better than mp3 or something - should check on that one though.

It might be then, quite odd that I rushed to purchase this super limited (200 copies) 12 inch earlier today.

But each of the 4 tracks on this EP are simply superb, and one just didn’t want to miss out on having these in one’s collection (even if they can’t be DJ’d with).

The label is ‘Rough House Rosie’ from Cologne - and this is it’s debut release.

It’s by chance that I discovered the label, and the artist, which I still feel like I know nothing about, on a routine Sunday tune hunt.

Maybe one day i’ll get around to learning to mix with real records, and then i’ll play these on a Sunday, ‘cause i heard that’s pretty cool too.

B2, posted here is my pick of the bunch, but take a listen to the whole EP below:

Song/Mix Of The Week

I’m going to try and continue this consistently from now on as my blogging has been pretty dire up until now.

This week i discovered a tasty little treat on one of my favourite labels - Off Recordings.

I get lots of deep house tracks from the label, and one of their regulars, Chris Carrier, has just dropped a new EP. It’s the remix of ‘Street Talk’ by Matt Tolfrey and Sam Russo that really interested me. Such a jackin groove and really nice filtered sample - proves that simple is still very effective.

Mix of the week comes from another all time favourite, the Scottish lads 6th Borough Project. They recently embarked upon a short US stint and the Red Bull Music Academy has their set from Boston in 2 parts up on the website. Part 2 really starts to up the tempo and has some truly amazing tracks/mixing in it. Listen to the 2 back to back to get a feel for how they progress from slower disco sampling house, up to more pacey deep/tech house.

Song/Mix Of The Week

Mix of the week comes from the OFF Recordings crew, headed by Andre Crom, and the main man himself provides podcast number 64. It’s nice and long, and themes itself on a disco/house flavour.

Song of the week is the b-side on the new EP from Cocolores on Germany’s Exploited label. A reverb laden lead synth line repeats throughout providing the hook and interweaves between the retro styled bassline. Far more satisfying than the A side in my opinion.

Campion Sound

This guy is my friend, and one half of Foxtail and Fern, and now is signed to Audio Parallax - a very, very nice label.

I first discovered the label when searching for the slow grooves of Matthew Kyle, which then lead me on to hearing tracks from Nick Turner, NY*AK, 78 Edits, and Hotbox.

These 2 tracks will feature on his EP, and sit tightly within the labels sound.

I did a mix for Congaloid Records to accompany the EP release, and also to promote the very first Mixmag/Congaloid night in January, click the image to read the article on the Mixmag website.

The mix starts off with some Deep House and then goes a bit more techy. Unfortunately only on mediafire as I’ve ran out of room on soundcloud… Enjoy!

My remix of Cubiq/Real Nice combo is released today on the ‘New Love Volume 1’ compilation.

Slower and deeper than my original EP.

Favourites from the release for me are Kezla’s ‘They Ain’t Stylin’ and ‘Rolling Posters’ by Sam Wallace

20th Dec 2011

The man Bowski has a brand new EP out on Blood Music (his second full length for the label), which see’s him revisit trademark minimal grooves and strange vocal samples that work perfectly. I’d essentially say they are 3 minimal techno songs; but far from boring.

White Russian just about tops the EP for me, but check out Poppies and Balloon Brain for slightly more pumping action.

I also know that he has 2 songs ready and waiting for a new EP (working hard ey?), that are of a different style, seeing Bowski venture into deeper territories, that will surface as soon as the right label picks them up.
