Stereogamous - Where Can We Find Love Again? (Get Up Recordings)

The next release on Get Up Recordings comes from Australia’s Stereogamous. No strangers to the label, Stereogamous turned out the remix for Brooklyn is Burning’s “Movin’ Too Fast” in 2014, but here we find them with their debut for the label, “Where Can We Find Love Again?". They are joined on this lush, gorgeous EP by vocalists Shaun J. Wright of Twirl Recordings and Hard Ton. Hard Ton also remixed the title track along with NYC House music maestro Tedd Patterson.

Stereogamous are the musical equivalent of Mardi Gras that runs all year. Paul Mac and Jonny Seymour have remixed or collaborated with Kylie, George Michael, Jake Shears, Sia, Sam Sparro, LCD Soundsystem, Faker, The Presets and loads more. Their music is best described as 'music for making out', under the genres of 'bottom 40', 'horizontal dance music', and 'bathhouse'. They have played in backroom dance floors all over the planet (Razzmatazz in Barcelona, Horse Meat Disco in London, as well as their long-time residency at Trough in Melbourne), mega festivals (Lovebox, the Big Day Out, Vivid), soundtracked fashion parades (NYC, Paris, Sydney fashion week) and also represented at Gay Pride events all around the circuit (Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, Sydney’s Mardi Gras, Madrid Pride).

The EP starts off with the original mix of the title track. It’s a beautifully deep house song with a warm bass line and pining vocals by Shaun J. Wright and backing vocals by Hard Ton. Shaun, originally from Chicago, came up in the scene thanks to his talent, which landed him in the already popular NYC group Hercules & Love Affair. Hard Ton is the mega-talented musical duo from Italy. DJs, performers, and visual artists, Hard Ton not only contributed the backing vocals, but also did an amazing remix for the track. A dub mix is also included here, with snippets and bursts of vocals laid over rhythmic beats.

The second remix comes from house music master Tedd Patterson. Tedd produces and remixes much like his DJ'ing, with driving percussive beats and deep techno textures. His history in the dance music world is legendary, from an extensive catalog of production work to his DJ sets, truly making him a 'DJ’s DJ'. His remix here is timeless and will be a peak hour track on the dance floor.

Rounding out the EP is a B-side track titled “Deep Train of Thought”. It’s an Orb-like journey through electronic soundscapes and vocoded vocals.

stereogamous feat. Shaun J. Wright - Face Love Anew (HNYTRX & Cocktail D' Amore)

Honey Soundsystem’s HNYTRX (San Francisco) and CockTail d’Amore (Berlin) have joined together in pleasant harmony to present a limited 12” vinyl release: “Face Love Anew,” produced by stereogamous featuring Shawn J. Wright on vocals.

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.

And finally, an eclectic, disco-natured potpourri of additional, exclusive remixes will be available in the digital release courtesy of Kim Ann Foxman (Needwant, Hour House is Your Rush), The Miracles Club (Ecstacy), Horse Meat Disco, and The Carry Nation.

Doc Martin - “This was a nice surprise …”
Chris Todd (Crazy P / Hot Toddy) - “The original’s nice, with the dub providing a more playable cut for me, but the Horse Meat Disco mix really makes the most of the vocal.”
Nick Chacona - “Luvdup house for sure!”
Chris Coco - “The Horse Meat Disco mix is rather cool in an old school meets new school way.”
Erik Rug - “Difficult to choose a fave … actually all mixes are good and the original version is ace, too. Great package.”
