Disclosure Fact Mix

FACT Mix 327: Disclosure

(via FACT)

YOU KNEW IT was coming, the crew on the rise in 2012 coming together to bring you the latest installment of FACT mixes.

Disclosure, the brotherly South London duo of Guy and Howard Lawrence, already responsible for a mental Jessie Ware remix and upcoming EP on Greco-Roman, as well as previous beauties “Tenderly” and “Carnival“, fuse their love for bass and house music on this mix that deserves multiple rinses.

It’s no coincidence that the mix peaks with Jordan Peak’s “Don’t It Feel Good”, which follows Disclosure’s “Flow”, but don’t stop there. There are some other exclusive goodies, namely Eats Everything’s remix of Ting Tings “Hit Me Down Sunny”, as well as the currently unreleased “My Intention Is War (Fig II)” from the boys and lots of other highlights.

And as Praveen Sharma of Braille and Sepalcure is wont to remind you, Percussion Lab was well ahead of the curve, hosting the boys for a mix back in March you can stream over at their site.

Peep the tracklist and get at this mix again and again.

Take Me

Wherever, Boy

NEW TRACK FLOATING in from the 100% Silk / Not Not Fun crew. LA Vampires, who in the past collaborated with Zola Jesus, Ital, and Matrix Metals, teams up with fellow Silk-r Octo Octa this time around, revealing the first cut, “Wherever, Boy”, off their upcoming 12″, due May-ish on 100% Silk.

LA Vampires, like Maria Minerva in some respects, falls in a gray area between the dancy Silk aesthetic and drone zone of NNF. “Wherever, Boy” starts off with a classic house progression, something you might’ve heard at The Warehouse in Chicago back in the day. The track quickly swirls into a blizzard of synths and Amanda Brown’s vampish vocals, a colorful soundscape of club confusion and allusion.

For the LA friends, be sure to catch Octo Octa (live LA debut!), along with Magic Touch, LA Vampires, Bobby Browser, and Silk newbie Roche May 19th in Silverlake.

In The Trax

I Need Some Money

Itz Crack

CORNELIUS FERGUSON IS no stranger to the Chicago footwork tradition. A veteran who’s been through footwork’s various incarnations, from juke and ghetto house to its current frenetic and frazzled state, Ferguson has been making ankle breaking beats as Traxman for a good 15+ years.

It’s no wonder then that Planet Mu would want to get inside his head and see life from his perspective, leading to Traxman’s latest LP, Da Mind Of Traxman, which dropped earlier this month. From weird and schizo to smooth funk, soul and jazz aethetics, Da Mind Of Traxman illuminates footwork in all its various shades and colors.

Two tracks to peep are “I Need Some Money” and “Itz Crack”, streaming above. “I Need Some Money” keeps you locked with 70s harmonious vibes, while “Itz Crack” sprinkles a lil jazz horns and upright bass on footwork rhythms.

Traxman also contributed to this week’s FACT mix, stream / download it below. Hop over to the Planet Mu site to hear some hearty chunks of Da Mind Of Traxman.

LES GO.

TEED

TAKE A LISTEN to the latest remix project from Polydor artist Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, or TEED for short, who’s “Tapes & Money” gets reworked by a stellar cast of artists reigning in the house and bass worlds.

John Talabot, responsible for one of this year’s best albums in ƒin on Permanent Vacation, puts a dark, swooning and tantric spin on his “Tapes & Money Ritual Reconstruction”, with trilling synth inlays and thundering bass rumbles.

Eats Everything, who currently rules jazner‘s stereo with tracks like “Heard That”, drops a fizzy, trademarked bass heavy rework worth taking a dive into.

Casino Times takes the slowburner approach with a smooth late night grower remix, while MJ Cole speeds things up with a frenetic club thumper.

Give all the remixes a spin and keep your ears open to future TEED releases.

Secret’s Out

ALREADY RESPONSIBLE FOR one of 2012’s biggest tracks in “Let It Go” on Hypercolour, Huxley is back with a new EP on 2020Vision, Out Of The Box.

Coming in at 3 tracks, Out Of The Box takes us through various incarnations of house music – from the depths of darkened disquietude to the airy heights of atmospheric delight.

A hard hitting deep house behemoth, “Atonement” will leave you on your knees asking for forgiveness. “Box Clever” and “Out Of My Mind” flip the script, coming in on colorful highs carried by female vocal snippets and summery poolside vibes.

Check out the latest from Huxley, and stay tuned for more goodies.

Boiling Point

Boiling

DIDN’T TAKE LONG for UK duo Disclosure to back up their massive rework of Jessie Ware’s “Running”.

With vocals from Sinead Harnett, Disclosure dropped “Boiling” today, along with news of an upcoming EP entitled The Face primed for a June release on Greco-Roman.

Gotta love the bassline in this one, with Harnett’s vocals lightening the throbbing pulse of low-end energy, supporting the thump with a strong soulful melody.

Listen to the stream above and peep the tracklist below.

1. Boiling feat. Sinead Harnett
2. What’s In Your Head
3. Lividup
4. Control feat. Ria Ritchie

B. E. Z.

Mark E – “Oranges (Space Dub)

THE STONE BREAKER LP by Mark E on Ghostly’s Spectral Sound is an absolute must have for any collection, with the final track, “Black Moon”, standing out as an entrancing, slow grooving cut anyone can vibe to.

“Oranges (Space Dub)” was left off the LP initially, but is now resurfacing and finding new life as a single, to be released April 16th on Spectral Sound. Definitely a cosmic trip, this track smoothly glides at Mark E’s trademark pace, creating wide, spacial surroundings and luscious, deep tones perfect for a cool down, or, if you’re in LA today, a rainy day.

Let it ride.

MAYA JANE COLES

Stream Maya Jane Coles’ DJ-Kicks

(via Resident Advisor)

SO HAPPY THIS finally sees the light of day. Been sitting on this one for a very long minute, and now Maya Jane Cole’s top notch DJ-Kicks on !k7 Records is ready to be munched on. Dig into the exclusive full album stream presented by Resident Advisor, and be prepared to find it in your record shoppe April 17th.

It’s a good thing CDs don’t wear out from multiple play, since jazner has put a major beating on a promo copy of this DJ-Kicks, playing it just about all day everyday from start to finish.

Coles is on point throughout the mix, starting it off easy yet smoothly transitioning to deep body music. A major highlight, and easily jazner‘s favorite parts due to how hard it hits, comes with Chasing Kurt’s “Money” and Bozzwell’s “In My Cocoon (Original Mix)”. Not only does Coles mix these two tracks seamlessly, but it sheds lights onto her insight of house music and understanding of its history, showcasing two tracks most people would of overlooked or had no idea even existed.

There are highlights all over the place, though. Milscot feat. Angel Sheik’s “All Alone (Domyan Just Slow Remix)”, Gerry Read’s “Roomland (Youandewan Remix)”, the Virgo Four “It’s A Crime (Caribou Remix)”, and don’t forget the two MJC exclusives – “Not Listening” and “Meant To Be”, which comes under the Nocturnal Sunshine alias Coles sports on more dubby tracks.

Point is, this is a beyond comprehensive mix, and one that bangs all the way home. Git on it, and don’t sleep on Maya Jane Coles’ limited US tour dates, see below. You KNOW jazner gonna be at that SF date, so holler if you wanna ride.
