Tony H - Passion / Source of Love (Uniting Souls Music)

Seattle's newly appointed Party Citizen is Tony H (Space Yacht, Late Night Munchies), and he's ready to launch forth with a new double A-side single on Uniting Souls Music. The label's on a tear with twelve consecutive Beatport top 10 chartbusters, with this release deservedly rounding out the even dozen. "Passion" drives with potent house music electricity, complete with chunky drums, a low rolling bassline, and a rhythmically spoken vocal. This one thumps, and it's sure to be a late-night staple. Flip the virtual wax for "Source of Love," which takes things down into moodier realms while still delivering tight, speaker-rattling, deep house vibes. Give in to these beats.

Brandon Bass (Hub City Music Group) – “Absolutely the best thing to grace my inbox in a long time. Great deep and dark drummy tracks. Reminds me of SF gigs back in the day. Love it!”
Tokita (Large Music) – “Both tracks are FIRE! Nice work Tony.”
Wilbour Craddock (Groovewest) – “This double A side is a true double A side, with two fantastic tracks of pure house for the late night crowd.”
Mason Rothert (Below Zero Radio Show) – “Passion is the jam!”
DJ P-REZ (The Session Worldwide) – “Both of these tracks are dope!”
Snooba (Radio Panik) – “100% dynamite. Infectious!”

DJ Sulli - You Party For a Livin' (Hype & Soul Recordings)

House music scene veteran DJ Sulli (AKA Sean Sullivan) delivers a bit of a surprise for his latest single on the Hype & Soul label. With the participation of his the H&S team, Sulli's taken a tune from a classic electronic band and shifted, recontextualized, and transformed it into a new … mode. This is "You Party For a Livin'," a peak time track that'll work like a Dream On the dancefloor.

The single opens with a version from DJ Lamprey that is perfect for low-lit rooms during after-hours moments. The synth parts are accentuated to emphasize the melodies as a moody vocal twists around the rhythmic backbone. Next up is a funk-fueled techy mix from DJ 5657 (AKA Cody Nasir). Most of the vocals are stripped away in favor of a heavy bass line ride, giving this a definite main room dub feel. DJ Sulli brings on the version that inspired it all. His All Night Every Night Remix is a solid warehouse stomper that evokes the latest of nights (or the earliest of mornings). Wild sounds abound, with gated vocals, pulsing sub-bass, and chunky, tight drums driving this one home. Sulli also provides an Intro Dub mix that works brilliantly as an opening tool to lead into any of the mixes.

All proceeds from this release (100%) will be donated to The Small Steps Project, a humanitarian organization and UK-registered charity dedicated to supporting children around the world who live on rubbish dumps and survive from scavenging.

Look for DJ Sulli's accompanying release of "Flamenco Dalliance," coming out simultaneously on Selekta Recordings.

Rory Hoy (Howlin’ Records) – “Really fun tune, thanks for sending my way.”
Severino (HorseMeatDisco) – “Yeah! Groovy.”
Andreas Kinzl (Aromabar) – “Big night energy on the DJ Sulli All Night Every night remix.”
Kosta (Vibe FM) – “Nice results on this one. Lamprey’s remix does it for me.”
Black Mighty Wax (Gru Radio) – “I gotta good feeling from this.”
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Wonky, deep and brilliant! All night every night remix is a monster of a track.”

Station Point - Alcyone EP (Harmonious Discord)

SF Bay Area multi-modal artist Station Point (Chakharta, JDN) is known for creating rugged but precise dub-laden melodies. A maestro of complex rhythmic pattern builds, Station Point returns to Harmonious Discord to deliver a well-rounded two-tracker with hints of psychedelic flare and urban tones. Joining the project are HD label boss PointBender and prolific pad inventor Patchen with two unique variations on the supremely delightful originals.

The EP begins with "Babombicz", a syncopated joyride saddled by pitchy arps and cacophonous drum fills. The track evolves, diving deeper into melodic interplays driven by bells that culminate into a trance-like state. Patchen reimagines the colorful playground of "Babombicz" with his signature swung drum components, briefly interrupted by glitchy sound design moments. The remix quickly moves into a forward-leaning acid melody that delivers increased movement and ramps up the energy. "Alcyone Chorus" shifts the listener into a more laid-back reprise, with expertly-crafted reversed swells and tension-building pad construction. The beautiful melodic moments are tempered perfectly with the emerging acid lead and live drum accents. A late-arriving sub bass ensures that one will truly feel this on the dancefloor. PointBender reengineers "Alcyone Chorus" as a messy but lush electro remix with homages to early Random Factor/Carl Finlow releases. The syncopation of the electro patterns with the layered pad abstractions adds an element of euphoria, a great remix to get lost inside. With more on the roadmap from Station Point, Harmonious Discord is excited to introduce you to the maneuvering styles of this conscious creator.

Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “All strong tracks - both originals showing some real quality in the programming - and the electro strings of the PointBender mix is a joy.”
Richard Hardcastle (Solid State) – “Great EP. I love Patchen’s glitchy version in particular.”
Sandro Bianchi (Ibiza Sonica) – “This is amazing!”
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing) – “Love the subtle hypnotic details. Great stuff.”
Jon Lemmon (Different Channels on KBFG) – “Love the lush vibes on Alcyone Chorus. I’ll get this some airplay!”
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Wonderful stuff here. PointBenders remix is beautiful. Loving Patchen’s twisting acid trip too.”

Carlos Curmi - The Trumpet (Encore Recordings)

Based on the island of Malta, Carlos Curmi has been instrumental for the past two decades in championing soulful house music on the Mediterranean archipelago. Carlos has a history in the London scene, as well, spearheading the infamous Encore afterhours. He recently launched a label under the Encore Recordings name, and the latest is Carlos's rousing peak-time house cut "The Trumpet." The track features tribal-leaning rhythms, a rolling sub-bass line, and the titular trumpet, signaling that now's the time to pack the dance floor. Sparse but powerful, "The Trumpet" is an effective cut that should find a place in the virtual bag of many DJs.

Eric Davenport (Mind Loop Music) – “This one has all the right elements.”
Wilbour Craddock (Groovewest) – “This is a straight up floor filler.”
Eric Shans (3Bridge Records) – “Bumpin’.”
Darrell Stout (Next Level) – “Soooo haunting.”
