PEO DE PITTE

Posted on Written by Posted in bass, breaks, remix, tech funk, wobble Tagged , Comments

The length of the last post would indicate that the U&A RECORDINGS camp is a bit busy. The fact that we recieved two separate email from two different people on the label sort of proves this. In addition to material from Elite Force, recently signed and all-round genre-bender PEO DE PITTE hits us with his trademark beats on his new track ‘Grey Tape’, which pounds the drums and rounds out some speaker-punishing bass.

“What Peo does so well and why we love him so much is that his sound is almost indefinable when it comes to traditional genres, which matters not, it’s just damned good music.” -Elite Force

Grab the tune from beatport.

Peo was also hob-knobbing and knob twiddling at Elite Force’s last boat party. Here’s a free download of that live set.

ELITE FORCE: CAPTAIN AMERICA

Posted on Written by Posted in bass, breaks, tech funk, wobble Tagged , , , , , , Comments

It’s hard to believe that the Captain America is ELITE FORCE‘s first single in about a year. The man behind U&A RECORDINGS has been in the studio, albeit busying himself with other projects. It’s a small price to pay, especially when the output is so deluxe. The package hit beatport this week with bangers from CALVERTRON, TORQUX, TWIST, and PEO DE PITTE as part of the United & Anarchic Vol.5 EP

In the space of just two days it’s climbed into the Top 20 on the Breaks chart and looks like it has a chance of going all the way. Give it some love.

In other Elite Force news, everyone’s invited to come along for a ride October 5th when he’ll head into deepest Essex for yet another live session at Rough Tempo Radio. Meanwhile, keep an eye on his facebook page over the next week or two for several free, unreleased revamps in celebration of hitting the 20,000 followers.

Check out the hilarious video from MEAT CASSETTE too!

There’s a little bit of info overload in this post, but I gotta say, you have to check out one of Elite Force’s live sets from Burning Man too!

Here are few older(ish) tunes from FEATURECAST to remotely give you sniff of what to expect, although there’s sure to be some wobble and funk and everything in between. Tickets are only $10 – find more info here.

A.SKILLZ + JAY-Z

Posted on Written by Posted in breaks, ghetto funk, review, wobble Tagged , Comments

A.SKILLZ uploaded his latest bootleg about three hours ago and already it’s garnered over 2000 plays. His tunes are as much in demand as condoms in a frat house. This bootleg (like many of Adam’s) wobbles and wobbles but thankfully doesn’t come with the testosterone hangover one acquires when hangin’ with frat boys.

FRENCH EXPRESS VOLUME 2

Posted on Written by Posted in house Tagged , , , Comments

 

For my inaugural post here on Manalogue I present to you French Express 2. A compilation of 11 anti-bangor, but still peak time dance songs released FOR FREE by French Express. I’m not sure exactly the motivation behind lack of price tag… it could be to intensify their effort to battle the “fischer price shit we’ve been hearing lately” with classy and feel good refined house music.

From Leon of FE: ”I’m sending these guys out for free like chinese lanterns, hopefully people will look at them for what they are and realize there’s a lot more than just ‘music’ releasing from our neck of the woods — more like a mindset, or lifestyle.”

The stand out track for me is Jonas Rathsman’s instant house classic “Love is My Middle Name”


Love is My Middle Name by Jonas Rathsman

Runner up goes to the ethereal Dangerous Midsummer by Erkka

Download all 11 suberb tracks here:

Enjoy!

BASEMENT JAXX + HEAVYFEET + NICK THAYER

Posted on Written by Posted in ghetto funk, house, remix Tagged , , Comments

Some deadly bootleg action courtesy of HEAVYFEET and NICK THAYER.

While on a three week tour of Australia and New Zealand in April, HeavyFeet got together with their good friend, Melbourne’s very own, Nick Thayer, and noodled in the studio. They round out the bassline in the classic track from BASEMENT JAXX, giving the house tune a slight makeover. “Red Alert,” is the first of their studio collaborations to be showcased, and comes with love and support from us and nearly everyone else.

Peep the tune in the player below, then grab the download from Bandcamp.

There’s also a video!

I’ve been banging a tonne of tunes from each act lately. Check out one of HeavyFeet’s latest and head to Juno for a whackload of ghetto funk!

CYCLIST + HOMEBREAKIN RECORDS

Posted on Written by Posted in cancon, house, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like Tagged , , , , , Comments

Allow me to (re) introduce CYCLIST, the musician / producer / DJ who left Winnipeg for the shine on Canada’s west coast. It seems his plan is working pretty well having landed a re-release of the Double Dip EP on HOMEBREAKIN RECORDS. Here we have a small sample for you in the form of “Bass Face” which gets further discofied by HEMINGWAY and NEIGHBOUR & ELAN B.

Before Cyclist moved to Vancouver I asked him if he wanted to help out with a few posts. He agreed and we just needed the right moment to make the introduction. With the new release coming, there doesn’t seem to be a better time.

The Cyclist EP drops September 26 with additional super fresh remixes - watch for it on your favourite download sites. The original release is available via DUBLUM RECORDS.
