alexx a-game makes his return to swing ting after last year’s ‘a-game everyday’ & ‘gangsters’ with the soulfully poignant ‘braver’. the 7” is the 1st physical drop on fact magazine’s label of 2016, following well-received equiknoxx & madd again! releases in 2017. in 2015 swing ting’s samrai & platt received a tune from alexx’s manager, ‘braver’ asking if they’d be able to contribute to the production on the track. listening to the stems, it became apparent how amazing alexx’s vocal delivery sounded stripped to just the rhodes & bassline played by frequent a-game collaborator & fellow jamaican vern hill. after adding effects and flourishes the crew began playing the ‘smooth edit’ on swing ting radio shows and at dj sets around the globe.
hot on the heels of “the reason”, released earlier in april, mimi music continues to impress with the death no more ep from label head komplexx. he teams up with former booker of extrema and present-day photographer peter van hal. the original version of “death no more” defies genre boundaries with ease. fusing old school progressive stylings, well placed percussion, an epic choral vocal with a catchy main hook and a rubbery bass line, komplexx has unleashed a summer anthem for the discerning dance-floor worldwide. the remix comes from well respected german artist marcus sur. a producer in his own right, signed to noir music, trapez, highgrade, four:twenty records and many more, sur created a darker more hypnotic journey focusing on the percussive aspects of the original. and komplexx’s v.i.p. mixx heads off into housey techno waters from the start. deeper, more percussive and driving, the v.i.p. mixx keeps the central melody intact while creating a darker feel. this has mass crossover appeal written all over it.
for mimi music, komplexx (poolside recordings / silhouette noir) has delivered a melodic techno / progressive crossover. this moody tune is deep yet melodious and builds beautifully. it’s just one of those tracks that works, with its genre-crossing coolness and excellent production. the remix is provided by our lovely house-specialist sascha dive (deep vibes, cocoon, raum). the german master turns the original into a brooding techno affair which is driven by thumping bass and sparse percussive elements. the remix keeps building until there’s nowhere left to hide, turning the track into an absolute floorfiller!
messalina records return with a fantastic new release. with the edit duties undertaken by zurichs balearic disco maestro lexx, you know youre in for a treat and this release doesnt disappoint in any way, serving up an awesome collection of balearic obscurities chipped and sliced to perfection. side a kicks off with the brilliant eminent times, an excellent mash-up of prince vs. the who that has been in-demand since featuring on lexx’s wonderful sundance mix from 2006. next up is so different here, a super cool extended edit of rachel sweets lost classic featuring that so hot loop made famous by the beatnuts. on the flip side we get go, a beautifully deep rework of a lost track by spargo, and finally the afrodisco groove kumbayero, a super funky dj friendly edit of a rare gem from 1976, previously only available on an impossible-to-find 7 inch

with only a couple of releases and remixes (incl antena >bye bye papaye<) under lexx and his more house oriented alias kawabata on drumpoet, he became one of the key figures in the ever growing neo disco scene. we are very proud to announce his first full 12inch on permanet vacation. >axis shift< is an absoulte space boogie bomb. think of innervisions goes disco. sure shot on the floor. >el sueno lucido< is a psychedelic balearic affair with a great guitar play. support comes from lindstrom, bill brewster (last night a dj saved my life), mock & toof (dfa), toby tobias (rekids)...
well this little gem has been floating about since late last summer and thankfully will be getting a proper 12 release very soon. balearic disco heaven much along the lines of reverso 68, it comes across like indeep and chris rea in the blender together with it’s driving guitar licks, the unhurried walkin bassline and the soft kalimba touches. bound for big things this late summer and hopefully golden autumn too. theres the added bonus of a mudd remix of the b side track slow burning. i promise you folks its been worth the wait

eigentlich ist phillip lauer selbst die gut geölte remixmaschine, die stets feinste ware an andere künstler liefert, entweder als lauer oder zusammen mit gerd janson als tuff city kids. dieses mal läuft die sache andersrum: vier stücke von lauers zweitem, im mai 2015 veröffentlichten album -borndom- wurden von prins thomas, fort romeau, lexx und the working elite auseinander genommen und frisch verpack
