the music world waits a decade for more music from marc nguyen tan aka colder and then along come two albums at once. as colder, marc released two acclaimed, cult darkwave, post-punk albums on trevor jacksons taste-making output recordings in the mid 00s (again in 03 and heat in 05). after the closure of output, marc spent the last few years playing and recording improvised jazz in the mountains of spain and working at his creative agency le cabinet. paris
1 copy per customer!! everybody s favourite parisian party fiends are back, polishing up another batch of patchy pound bin finds and not-on-discogs delights for your next summer soirée. putting their orange-eagle eyes to good use, the lyo crew have trawled the crates of europe and beyond for this sunkissed set, working the scalpel to the max to pack the dancefloor in arms aloft ecstasy. our party starts with the kwaito groove of -avidiyo--, a killer bit of late 80 s afro-action boasting synth marimba, alien bass blasts and life affirming vocal chants. not only is this cut moving in the ants-in-your-pants/dancing-like-a-madman sense, but its sting-on-safari emotion and clarinet solo could bring a tear to a glass eye. cartwheeling between aspirational jazz-funk and afro-cosmic, yanga mbiwaa makes its way to the heart of the party like a bewildered parisian at an ivorian wedding. as tumbling toms rumble like thunder on the serengeti, an oddball exotica chant encourages the nearby wildlife to shake a tail-feather to the club tropicana guitars and buzzing synthbass. at last you have something to keep quantum jump s lone ranger company! last but not least comes autoradio , a very well mannered monsieur living the french highlife by the sea and sun of the mediterranean coast. effervescent afrobeat guitars and swooning sax dance over a rolling rhythm section of buoyant bass and 80s percussion, while a spoken vocal drawls in your direction and the girls ask if you re ok. it s only when the pinging, ringing, madly modulated bass breakdown bounds through your surroundings that you ll wonder who slipped what in your drink...

just in time for your summer of love, good plus is back with three tropical disco, boogie, housey and balearic edits!
on the a side -bolji zivot- from kompleks is already a secret anthem for a long time at 20/44, the iconic small club of belgrade which is a favorite of many djs around the world (including us)
they reshape here the main theme from cult yugoslavian tv-show from late 80 s equally named -bolji zivot-. sax galore, relentless house loops, we call it a hit !
on the b side, lyo takes over with -drole de drague-, a feverish frenchie-brazilian affair which carries us straight to the lively and colorful shores of copacabana, ipanema or leblon. inspired lyrics, killer disco breaks, samba infused grooves , guarantee to make sweat any dancefloors !
finally, last but not least, lyo closes the deal with the balearic tinged -la bella vita- in a more mellow and lazy fashion, perfect for those sun drenched moments.
baptiste letertre is ringard and comes from rennes, britanny s biggest city with a strong electronic music culture. ringard has a label called dance around 88 because he was born in 1988. ringard released 8 vinyl records. -lacrima rossa- is his first 12- outside his own label so it s a great pleasure for us to have him on board. ringard music is deep but raw, woolly, melancholic yet emotional. think soulful techno, steamroom slo-mo, warehouse heat and euphoric minimal. morphine electronics at its best with amazing strings and killer frequencies like lobster theremin meeting boards of canada in a fantasy balearic island. in french, ringard means tacky or outdated. it has never sound so cool being ringard!
after two fine first releases on bordello a parigi and multi culti, mytron & ofofo make their lyo debut with a five tracker full of diverse influences. combining vintage gear with modern production tools, the mysterious duo based in london and paris wonderfully connects the dots between disco-funk, afro-zouk infused grooves or melancholic spacey electro creating a fresh eclectic fusion. both organic and synthetic, futuristic with traditional roots, -topography- draws a line on exotic territories between cultural blends and backgrounds.
next up for les yeux orange is a collaboration between earth trax, also known for his productions as the phantom & one half of ptaki, and newborn jr. individually or together, the polish winning duo is on hell of a hotstreak lately with some remarkable works for rhythm section, echovolt or phonica and connoisseur mixes for thump or stamp the wax. they debut on lyo with a diverse selection of four dreamy, melodic and emotional tracks both suitable for the club or for a domestic listening.
lost classics, loft classics and leftfield antics crammed into one double-o dose of good plus plastic! the crew set the gas to a sultry simmer with outer-galactic opener amantes cosmicos , lending a little looped up jump juice to a sci-fi disco favourite. thrusting bass and sequencer sizzle speed the starship ever-onwards, approaching warp speed as the widescreen kalimba unlocks the stargate.
dating from the days of sade and smooth jazz, you might expect maya s moment in the sun to wear the fragrance of fromage, but the milk’s far from turning and the tropical groove is a sunny delight.
finally remcord is back on atmosphere records and it wont go unnoticed. this ep features two of remcord’s new tracks alongside remixes of kollektiv ost (simple as that records, 3000grad) and arts & leni (ton liebt klang, ostfunk).
match made! between poet alex deforce and azertyklavierwerke more specifically. over a runaway beat, they seem intent on taming the search for love, or anything that smells like it from far or near.
nusantara beat strikes back with a brand new 7 inch! after the success of djanger / borondong garing, bongo joe records and lamunai records cooperate again to delvier these two amazing tracks fusing modern influenced grooves and traditional indonesian sonorities!
der vielversprechende numero 6 und sein duo kiddy castle kümmern sich um a1 und a2, mit dreckigen bassgetriebenen grooves und sexy vocals. behaltet die beiden im auge.
dann legt live-wizzard pierre marty einen housigen track mit seinem einzigartigen groove hin und singt sogar bei der gelegenheit.
charonne schließt die ep mit einem schmierigen bass und einem bad boy-vocal ab.
