excellent deep house, incl smbd rmx

detroitish house music

a stalwart of the uk underground & dance music scene, simbad’s music and dj skills have brought him to perform and record on all of the continents over the last decade. as a very sought after producer that still collaborates with the likes of fred p, deetron, roots manuva, lulu james, dayme arocena, mala (dmz), gilles peterson (six albums produced for gilles legendary brownswood label) to name a few, he’s been also remixing for countless other artists worldwide and has a vast array of releases on various imprints like apron, hyperdub, sofrito, bbe etc. “reconnect” remained a dubplate amongst a handful broken beat dj’s for years until simbad decided to release it on swedish brandy productions, a label that has been fairly constant in putting out timeless underground dance music since nearly two decades. remixes by the mighty boddhi sattva and concept e25 included.

simbad teams up with south african vocalist brian temba, whose previous release together come join in dropped on hi:rise back in 2011. in it’s original form take my hand is a sublime, forward-looking deep and soulful house track based around a filtering symphonic string loop, low-slung groove and heart-felt vocal. simbad has created a very london-centric vibe but with a french touch and detroit sensibilities, drawing from house heroes such as parrish and bradock, joining the dots and creating a fresh masterpiece in the process. next up we have jimpster on the remix, picking up the bpm’s slightly and loading up on his trademark deep stabs, sub-bass and spacious fx adding just enough dance-floor bump whilst leaving the vocal placed firmly at the core. on the flip side we have two smbd zulu edits which replace the more spartan groove of the original with some driving afro percussion. the first version keeps the vocal intact, the second version goes balls deep into dub territory, closing out this amazing release with an instrumental pushing the strings and hypnotic groove front and centre

nice house tunes

esnard boisdur is one of the great voices of gwo ka – the folkloric rhythm of guadeloupe. frankie francis & simbad flip his 1991 track *soufwans* (sufferance) into a groove that combines hypnotic percussion and mournful vocals with detroit-inspired synths and a deep deep bassline. trust us this one is a monster on the dancefloor!

simbad is back.... and as usual with the man its all about soul.... this time, its d angelo who gets the simbad/gamm treatment in style. and it works wonders for sure. remember the first release from the gamm stable, well it was already d angelo makin it sweet to our dancing feet... heres the second stike...

for the next volume of the long running turntables on the hudson series, we head down south to brazil to get a little dancefloor sunshine to warm up these cold winter months. the turntables on ipanema ep features four tracks on a 12inch from the digital compilation which will be dropping the same day on wonderwheel recordings. first up, brazil s dj g gives us samba da terra, a deep, jazzy brazilian house/samba fusion joint sure to get all the dancers on the floor. next, the ever prolific simbad comes through with the brand new detroit de janiero, a bangin track equally inspired by early motor city techno as the drum rhythms of brazil. on the flip side, nickodemus and simbad collaborate on berimboom another deep electronic house joint with an infectious bassline that percussively floats into rio. rounding up the ep, wonderwheel mainstay zeb comes with the slo-mo spacey dub house vibes of space forest.
