Mural - Shake It Up EP (New Human Music)

Erik Brown, also known as as graphic artist FRISK, unveils the moniker Mural and catapults onto the electronic music stage with his latest creation, the Shake It Up EP, released under the innovative new label New Human Music. Brown, a mainstay in the San Francisco music scene has been dazzling the Bay Area with underground DJ sets since the early 2000s. His unique ability to weave intricate grooves using an arsenal of gear is evident in this latest offering. As he prepares to relocate his studio to Thailand in 2024, his impressive discography continues to expand with this new venture into New Human Music's revolutionary ethos.

The EP, a succinct yet impactful trio of tracks, kicks off with "Shake It Up," a robust house music anthem designed for an energized underground. It's a masterful blend of crisp rhythms, pulsating synthesizers, ethereal string pads, and vibrant vocal stabs that create an irresistible auditory invitation. Following this is "Shake and Dub," a more minimalist dub version of its predecessor. This track strips back the layers to spotlight rhythmic drums, a groove-laden bassline, and '80s-flavored synth tones and effects. And then“Love Will Find A Way” combines Moroder-ized synth patterns with an uplifting vocal hook. Together, these songs exemplify Mural's prowess in crafting tunes that resonate with the eclectic and dynamic spirit of New Human Music, a label that celebrates artistic transformation and the seamless fusion of genres like New Techno, Retro Disco, and House Music.

Vested Soul - Love Trap (Super Hi-Fi Recordings)

The eclectically electric Vested Soul strike again with another double A-side single of sleekly designed slinky deep house. The party starts with "Love Trap," a down-and-dirty lovemaking anthem that features bubbling arpeggiations, cooing vocal phrases, and a glittering sonic sphere in the shape of a giant disco ball. Thomas Blondet (Rhythm & Culture) lays down some smooth magic on the remix, amassing a massive bass line that'll levitate dancers at least two generous inches off the dancefloor.

Flip the digital wax for "Set Piece," opening in a contemplative mood with popping percussion and swirly pads. Once the bass and filtered chord stabs hit, it's off to the boogie zone. There's a definite bounce per ounce in Vested Soul's groove cooler. Nu-disco legend and the Insect Queen man himself Ursula 1000 grabs "Set Piece" by the sleeve and rearranges its outfit in a new fashion. And that fashion draws upon synth-pop of the '80s, funky house of the '90s, and the sublime punchiness of modern times. It's a cornucopia of delicious vibes, all coming strong from Vested Soul and friends.

Richard Dorfmeister (Kruder & Dorfmeister) – “Top Summer tune!”
Rusty (All Good Funk Alliance) – “Loving these late night rippers. Will be playting them for sure.”

ThrillHammer - Heavenly Spheres (Finely Tuned)

After rollicking singles for the likes of Hardkiss Music and Paper Recordings, San Francisco's ThrillHammer — AKA the duo of Duserock and Coltorious — confront the "Music of the Spheres." The tune is based on an ancient philosophical puzzle: why don't the heavenly bodies, such as stars and planets, make sounds as they travel through the sky? Aristotle believed that we hear it as infants, but as adults, we tune it out. How can we listen to the music of the spheres?

Duserock produced the track and handed it over to Coltorious for some of his lyrical flavor. The final song features rousing piano chords, a beefy four-on-the-floor rhythm, and Coltorious's distinctive voice joined by layers of harmonizing overdubs. Steve Cobby (Fila Brazillia) brings the tune into his shed to create a glorious lounge-inspired version with all-new instrumentation. Next up, Adam Warped (Whiskey Pickle) offers a dramatically uplifting instrumental re-rub that wouldn't be out of place floating over the Ibizan surf. And then Jason Peters (Roam Recordings) jostles a peak-time warehouse banger from the original, giving "Music of the Spheres" a shot at inspiring heavenly gyrations on the dance floor. Get into these galactic motions!

Rory Hoy (Howlin’ Records) – “The Cobby Mix is incredible. Love it!”
Redstickman (The Ambient Mafia) – “Love the deep and proggy elements on the Warped Remix. Good stuff.”
Jon Fugler (Fluke) - “I can honestly say that these tracks have made my day.”
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Heavenly indeed! Warped Remix is brimming with positive vibes. Love it.”
Shan Frenzie (2SER FM) – “Lovely deep dancefloor vibes.”
Jon Wesley (Music Goes On Radio Show) – “I like the original and the Jason Peters Remix. Great vocal too.”
