Col Lawton & Scottie Soul - Tears Run Free feat. Becka (Pelvic Movements)

In the ever-evolving cosmos of house music, a new star emerges from the depths of Pelvic Movements' creative universe. "Tears Run Free," the label's third release, is a collaboration of celestial proportions, featuring the UK's Col Lawton, Scottie Soul, and the enchanting vocals of Becka. This musical odyssey is a tapestry of emotion and rhythm, where each track is a vignette of heartache and euphoria, artfully woven into a narrative that resonates with the soul of its listeners.

At the heart of this release is the titular track, "Tears Run Free," a fusion of chunky house rhythms and a funky bassline that pulsates with life. Becka's vocals, imbued with a haunting depth, glide over the vibrant soundscape of electric piano chords, sparkling pianos, and sultry saxophone lines. The track is a dance between melancholy and hope, a mirror reflecting the duality of human emotion. Next to the original and starting this package off is Alex Hernandez's Synthmaster Mix. This funk-infused nu-disco rendition takes one on a time-traveling journey back to the '80s, then catapulting into the future with its modern house sensibilities. The No Clothes Mix strips down to the essentials, offering a deep house variant that exudes sophistication and a club-ready sheen.

Completing the journey, the Original Instrumental version of "Tears Run Free" is a showcase of the rich layers of instrumentation, each element telling a story of its own. For those seeking a more intimate experience, Z-Sharp Minor's Look Down at the Stars Mix offers a soulful, downtempo vibe that's both smooth and romantic, perfect for late-night introspection or close encounters. "Tears Run Free" is a testament to the power of collaborative creativity in the realm of house music, making "Tears Run Free" a shining beacon in the Pelvic Movements catalog.

Sunday Slim - Take Me Back - The Selekta Remixes (Selekta Recordings)

Sunday Slim is a Northern California blues musician with a twist — he builds his songs live using a BOSS RC-505 Loop Station by beatboxing the drums, percussion, bass, and effects. Then Slim deftly transmits his harmonica and vocal skills on top, resulting in a super-stew that ’s one part blues, one part funk, another part electronic, and all GOOD.

Sunday Slim’s “Take Me Back” is a wicked track that, when heard by the Selekta Recordings team, was begging for the remix treatment. Thus The Selekta Remixes, featuring familiar label staples and a couple of new-to-the-fold producers.

Rusty Belicek from All Good Funk Alliance has combined forces with Isaac Freed (bass) and Paul LLoyd (banjo!) to become Rockmaster and the Boys. Their remix harks back to the classic big-beat sound, combining Slim’s vibe with some block rockin’ beats. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels aka DRS bring “Take Me Back” into the electronica-dub-influenced realm, delivering some powerful stuff even at a low tempo. Scottie Soul’s version is a blunted-out downtempo jam with shimmering percussion effects and loping jeep beats. StickHouse Recordings’ Brian Steckle engineered the original “Take Me Back,” and revisits it for his StickMix — the cut is transformed into a peak-time breakbeat banger. More breaks, on the almost glitchy side, invade the remix by DJ EFX which the label accurately refers to as ‘UltraFutureFunk.’ Last but hardly least, Selekta’s own DJ Dennis closes things out in a deep house style, blending Sunday Slim’s dexterous harmonica riffs with a delicious beats-and-bass bounce.

Morphosis (Hong Kong Ping Pong Club) – “Love this, especially the Rockmaster And the Boys & DJ Dennis Bounce remixes.”
Angelos Timewarp Stoumpos (Timewarp) – “Impressive blues song with some great remix treatments.”
Sandro Bianchi (Loca FM) – “Scottie Souls mix for me!”
Quincy Jointz (Ibiza Global Radio) – “Nice one. I like the original, Rockmaster and the Boys & DJ Dennis remixes.”
Mason Rothert (Below Zero Radio Show) – “This is the scheeet. Love it.”
Jon Fugler (XLNT Radio Show) – “Wow. A lot to take in here. Every mix has something to say, great selections.”
Hober Mallow (Mighty Real Show) – “Unique fusion sounds. Love the looper work on the original, and some very nice remixes too. Will play on the show.”
