W. Jeremy - Augusto EP (Get Up Recordings)

Get Up Recordings co-owner, W. Jeremy, kicks off the label’s 2014 releases with two original tracks, “Nerve” and “Augusto”. “Nerve” features remixes from Horse Meat Disco’s Severino and the Italian duo Carol. This single may be W. Jeremy’s first solo release, but he is no stranger to production. He has previous originals with fellow Get Up Recordings boss Christy Love as House of Stank and remixes for their co-run label as well as GFY Black Label, Men Make Music, and Kinetika Records.

“Nerve” is a deep house club track with a Detroit-style key progression, warm bass line, and continuous vocal sample all leading up to a quick breakdown before winding back into the swing of things. Horse Meat Disco’s Severino gives “Nerve” his signature remix treatment, combining wide-ranging and eclectic house music influences for a real banger. With a funky bass line, time stretched vocals, and high pitched squelches ripping through the air, this mix is definitely for the big room. Carol is a production duo from Milan made up of members Damien and Fedex. Their interpretation of “Nerve” uses an amazingly dark wave of filter sweeps and Micro Korg hits that transport the listener along a deep disco journey.

The second W. Jeremy original, “Augusto”, is a deep house track with an airy and fluid Jupiter synth lead, a deep grooving bass line, and filtered rhythmic keys. It’s a beautiful finish to another fantastic package from Get Up Recordings.

stereogamous, the DJ/production duo from Sydney, Australia, have gathered recent world attention for their string of hit remixes for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Light Asylum, and George Michael. On their debut single, “Face Love Anew,” stereogamous recruited the vocal talents of Shaun J. Wright known for his contributions to Hercules & Love Affair and the “Forevermore” single on MR.INTL Records. Together they’ve given birth to a melancholic dance anthem that displays the weight of Wright’s deep, penetrating vocals. stereogamous’ production effortlessly slithers around Shaun’s vocals before delivering an epic breakdown, seamlessly gliding the listener into a massive, radiating head-rush. The song’s climactic peak activates all the pleasurable regions - beware of its effects on the dance floor and in the bedroom.

The vinyl 12“ release of ”Face Love Anew” includes two remix contributions. First up is Honey Soundsystem’s Jason Kendig, who volleys across the court a classic Chi-house rendition, showcasing piano house influences with warm analog sounds and lush synth strings. Jason’s complete rearrangement of the vocal track stands on its own as the long lost brother of stereogamous’ original version. Discodromo of CockTail d’Amore returns the shot with a remix that starts with an intro reminiscent of early Dance Mania before the track’s frequency-demanding bass line enters the domain. The remix reveals itself as a sultry 4 AM basement jam perfect for the late-night, where a sophisticated groove enhances psychedelic tangents and the bass rejuvenates the senses.
