Ursula 1000 - Get Down With Us Tonight (Insect Queen Music)

Ursula 1000's latest single, "Get Down With Us Tonight," is a funky, time-bending journey that seamlessly blends the best of the past and future. Released on Insect Queen Music, this two-track offering showcases Ursula's signature style of mixing retro vibes with modern electronic party starters.

"Get Down With Us Tonight," is a showstopper, featuring chunky soul drums, growling Hammond organ riffs, and a rousing horn section that transports listeners back to the golden age of Stax Records. Ursula's incorporation of acid embellishments and cool male vocalese rhythms adds a futuristic twist, making it feel like the 1960s have collided with the 2040s on the dance floor. It's a sexy, irresistible invitation to let loose and do the timewarp again. And, for the DJs, Ursula has included an instrumental version of the track, allowing them to work their magic without the vocal bits.

"Get Down With Us Tonight" is just the beginning of a string of new songs leading up to Ursula's forthcoming album, set to release later this year. As an artist who has consistently pushed boundaries and defied genres, Ursula 1000's latest offering is another shining example of how the producer crafts infectious, dance-floor-ready tunes that span decades and styles. So, put on your go-go boots and get ready to groove – Ursula 1000 is back, and he's bringing the party with him.

Citronade (A Martin Denev Project) - Hopenotica (Issa'min)

The Hopenotica EP brings five new tracks of groovy chill-out bliss from Bali-by-way-of-Bulgaria producer Martin Denev, courtesy of his evocative Citronade project. As the previous Citronade EP, Ezeh, drew upon South East Asian influences, Hopenotica brings in flavors of North Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. It's a delicious stew specially made for early doors, the classiest of lounges, and delirious back-to-mine stereo sessions.

"Desert Cat" epitomizes the sound with exotic flutes, funky guitar, and spacious atmospheres traveling over a midtempo four-on-the-floor beat. The title track introduces an impeccable bass line hook right up front, guiding layers of sparkling sound-flourishes and a crisp drum machine groove. A subtle, laid-back disco vibe permeates "Cruizinho," joined by some seriously lovely piano playing. "Sandy Toes" meshes a rhythmic island vibe with dream-time treatments and subdued, jazzy keyboard riffs. The Hopenotica EP finishes with "May and June," feeling like an '80s funk/R&B jam swirled through the Ibizan blender — uplifting, synthy, and filled with a healthy dose of sunshine magic.

Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “Hitting all the right poolside notes with this splendid summer selection. May and June definitely winning the extra cherry and mini umbrella for me.”
Still Rob G (Om Records) – “Desert Cat is super nice. Also digging Cruizinho and Sandy Toes.”
Andreas Kinzl (Aromabar) – “Perfect vibes for the sundowner.”
Dr. Best (Radio Z, Neuremberg) – “Nice summer vibes from Citronade.”
DJ Morpheus (Lysergic Factory radio show) – “Very nice loungey stuff. I dig Desert Cat and May and June the most.”
DJ Osric (Black and Blue Show) – “What a stunning release. Love every bit of this. #playlisted”.

The Disclosure Project - Radiosonde (Disclosure Project Recordings)

UK deep house duo The Disclosure Project have unveiled their latest album which has the atmospherically-inclined title Radiosonde. Released on their own Disclosure Project Recordings label, the album features ten lovingly crafted songs that draw upon the pair's shared influences across jazz, funk, ambient, downtempo, and -- of course -- deep house. Acclaimed releases for the likes of OneThirty, Dutchie, Plastic City, and Night Drive over the past decade have shown the breadth of Disclosure Project's range, but this prolific output still does not prepare the listener for the lovely, diverse sounds spread throughout Radiosonde. The tunes are supported by a solid groove whilst keeping melody and harmony at the center stage of the production, making for a cerebral yet moving sonic experience. Highlights such as "Antumbra" and the title cut show off The Disclosure Project's affinity for lush, US-influenced deep house vibes while stunning downtempo efforts like "Ahead Of The Curve" and the particularly chill "Barnard's Merope" expose the duo's knack for gorgeous musicality. Throughout touches of The Disclosure Project's jazz and cinematic influences are apparent, helping to create an album that is a cut above the rest. Radiosonde is a beautiful and classy journey into modern electronic music … an excursion not to be missed.

Nova Casa - Morning Drops (Karmaloft Music)

Nova Casa joins the Karmaloft Music label with his first release for the eclectic European imprint: Morning Drops. As Nova Casa is equally influenced by genres as diverse as deep house, smooth hip-hop, melancholic soul, and classic piano house, beats per minute is not a constraint in the music making process of this Leipzig, Germany based producer. He’ll craft a tune at any tempo that fits his heartfelt vibes. If the song titles “Morning Drops,” “Jazz Reflections,” and “Dreams" didn’t give it away, this EP is definitely of an ethereal quality. Deep, moody, and highly melodic, the three pieces drift along at a comfortable pace, easily imagined as the soundtracks to beautifully elaborate time-lapses. The warm pads, shimmering pianos, and brooding vocals definitely deliver for DJs looking to not only move, but touch their audiences.
