DiKSO - Super Sound Single Volume 5

So it's about time we got some music reviews up, hey?
And for starters we've decided on the latest offering from one of our favourite Vinyl only labels, Berlin's DiKSO. I first discovered DiKSO when they released their debut EP almost a year ago. And having around the same time started buying vinyl again, I knew this would be a label I would come back to time and again. When I heard the beauty of a track, 'Never' by Nicholas...I knew I had to own it!
And the 3 releases since have been equally as impressive, giving us great tracks by some of the best Nu-Disco/Slow Groove/Disco House (whatever u wanna call it) producers in the business.

Now on to their 5th release, and it doesn't dissappoint...

Duff Disco gets things going on the A-side with probably my pick of the EP. 'I Won't Forget' is a lushious warm slow house groover and typical of what we have come to expect from the Duffman. Underpinned by thick rhodes chords the track grows with some slick filtered vocal samples in the break. Building towards the end with some 303 style action to finish things off.
Next up is We Play with 'The Music We Play'. This is the funkiest track on the EP. The intro launching straight into Daft Punk/Zapp & Roger style vocoder vox.Then moving into the guitar bassline which keeps the funk factor going. Some spacey synth stabs and sweeps complete the job. Really nice track!
On the flip Larse takes us to a cheesier place with 'So Much Fun'. This one is a little heavy on the diva style vocals for me. For those of you that love that shit...this is the track for you!
Lastly DiKSO founder Andi DeLuxe closes the EP with 'Boobsie Collins'. A really nice track, and back into the same territory as Duff Disco. The pace drops and the feel is deep, slow-groovin & discofied. Andi works a sample up through low a pass filter, laying over some tasty disco hats. Leading us into the break where vocal samples are added before slamming back into the groove!

U can listen to previews of the new EP over at their soundcloud page here. Also their blog is def worth checking out. There you will find not only some great podcasts, but some free edits to download!

The 12'' drops in early June so keep an eye out for it!

Seven Music...I FEEL THIS!

This week sees the launch of our very own label, Seven Music!
Obviously we are very excited at the prospect of running our own imprint. And looking forward to bringing you more quality music in the future not only from ourselves, but also some familiar names within the scene. There will also be an interest in breaking new talent, from sunny Belfast and beyond!

On that note we introduce Seven Music 001...a cracking 3 tracker from Sydney Young.

The 'Lost In Philly EP' is a great way to kick things off. The main mix of 'Lost In Philly' takes centre stage with its paranoid hypnotic bassline and disco diva style vocal samples.
While an alternative take, 'Dub In Philly' eases the main mix into calmer waters with soothing keys and melodic arp sounds.
On the B-side, 'Whats Happening' moves to deeper realms with its heavy sub bass, low toms and vocal samples encouraging you to 'Feel This'...

The debut release has already garnered some favourable feedback from some of house musics finest. Including Graeme Clarke (The Revenge), Chris Duckenfield, Trickski, Nick Harris (NRK), Leo Zero, Milton Jackson, Moodymanc & Craig Smith...to name a few!
