Kenny Knight - Your Sunshine (Coastline Recordings)

The latest release from Coastline Recordings, "Your Sunshine," finds label head Kenny Knight delivering two mixes that are ready for dancing in the sun this spring and summer. Demarkus Lewis adds his signature touch of deep and soulful bounce with Demarkus's Rain or Shine Mix.

The release kicks off with Kenny's main mix, showcasing the soulful vocal sample over a solid mix of drums and Moog bass. Kenny, an aficionado of analog synths, often reaches for his Moog Voyager to deliver the bass, as is the case here. Whether it's sunrise or sunset, this track could become a "go-to" for those moments in a DJ's set.

The second version, Kenny's Sax in the Shade Mix, reworks the main mix and makes a sexy sax hook the star. This is a production approach Kenny loves to take as a sax player himself and a lover of horns in house music. The vocals receive a more delayed dub treatment, sharing the stage with the saxophone as they work as one to thread the melody in and out of the mix.

The third mix, Demarkus Lewis's remix, shows why his production talents are in such demand. Demarkus creates a glowing mix that's completely his own and flips the vocal, as if by magic, to follow his vision. This piece of ear candy keeps one wanting to hit replay. From the bouncing groove to the sparkling pads and keys, his signature spice is all over this one. Summer may not last forever, but this mix will make you feel like it could.

Rory Hoy (Super Hi-Fi) – “The Rain or Shine Mix is fantastic. Definitely supporting!”
Juan Moreno (Sound Black Recordings) – “Nice track. Perfect to drive the dancefloor.”
Ivan Garci (Vlosfer Records) – “Very nice release. Perfect for a rooftop party.”
DJ Samuel Lawrence (R Side Records) – “Solid groover. Reminds me of mid 2000’s San Fran on the patio of the Endup on a Sunday afternoon.”
Jeannie Hopper (WBAI FM) – “Hot jammin’ peak hour boogie!”
Simon Kirk (Proton Radio) – “Fabulous vocal delivery. Love the jacking vibe on the main mix. Solid House Music!”

DJ Daniel D - Homemade Grooves #1 - SynthFunk Music

From the bustling streets of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to the heart of the global house music scene, DJ Daniel D has been spinning tracks that resonate with the soul of dance floors around the world. With Homemade Grooves #1, his latest EP offering under the vibrant banner of SynthFunk Music, Daniel invites us on a sonic journey that bridges the gap between the nostalgic echoes of the '70s funk and disco and the pulsating rhythms of modern house, nu-disco, and beyond. Here's a time machine with a disco ball, powered by synthesizers and an unquenchable passion for the groove.

The EP kicks off with "Just Funk," a track that grabs the listener by the collar, pulling one straight onto the dance floor. Its squelchy bass lines and bongo percussions resemble Italo escapades of yore, but the bright synthesizer chords and a relentless four-on-the-floor rhythm are all about getting your feet moving in the here and now. "Don't Miss It" takes a turn into the late-night vibes of a Chicago warehouse, with its classic house sound peppered with snazzy 808 snare rolls and deep keys, all built around a cheeky sample from an '80s movie favorite. The closing track, "Life Boat," offers a mid-tempo respite, layering arpeggiated synths over a driving techno bass line, with dramatic piano chords adding just the right amount of emotional heft to the EP's finale.

SynthFunk Music has indeed captured lightning in a bottle with Homemade Grooves #1, delivering a collection of tracks that feel simultaneously classic and fresh. This exceptional release is a vibrant, living entity that beckons one to dance, dream, and dive deep into the heart of house music.
