Juan Hoerni - Caviar Et Vin (Cha Cha Project Recordings)

A buoyant new single hits just in time for summer from Juan Hoerni, Los Angeles’s rising soulful house maestro, and his Cha Cha Project Recordings imprint. The Caviar Et Vin EP features three stunning deep vocal house cuts pulling from influences across R&B, disco, classic house, and Italo. Juan’s crystalline production and the gorgeous vocal delivery from Irantzu and Chezere make these tracks instantly stand out on the dance floor.

“Caviar Et Vin”, the first of two songs sung by Irantzu, imagines a lost ‘80s club classic pulled from the soundtrack of a hip French film. A bouncing synth bass line, swirling pads, and a cooler-than-cool saxophone solo make this one perfect for night cruising. Irantzu continues with sexy French vocals on “Computer Love,” a song that deftly combines Rhodes piano, a vocoder hook, and the sound of a familiar robot friend into an after hours gem. On the third track, vocalist Chezere makes her appearance on “Unlimited Capacities”. Somewhat funkier with a groovy bass line and plucky guitar hits, the cut nicely builds, providing a satisfying treat for the house heads on the floor.

Greg Dowling (Fish Go Deep) – “I’m feeling the real deep vibe of ‘Unlimited Capacities’.
Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “I dig the retro sound of ‘Computer Love’.
Jeannie Hopper (WBAI FM, NYC) – “Fabulous and welcoming … the more tunes from Juan the better!”

Stefan Popovic (DiscoTone Radio Show) – “This is so in the box. Hoerni doesn’t miss.”
Jon Wesley (Music Goes On Radio Show) – “I like all 3 tracks, but I love the 80’s vibe of ‘Caviar Et Vin’. Nice work as usual by Juan.”
DJ Nova (Rodon FM 95) – “Juan Hoerni continues to make his own unique sound. This fusion of Italo disco, French disco and deep house is more than attractive. Soulful, pop and funk attitude follows each track which all of them have wrenching programmed synth work. You simply don’t know which track to play first.”

The Deli - Jazz Cat (Cold Busted)

Austin hip hop beatrepreneur The Deli made serious waves with his previous Cold Busted album Vibes 3, featuring the song “Flowers.” This track shook up the Spotify world with over 14 million plays and inclusion on at least 500 playlists. Anticipation is strong for a follow-up from The Deli and, with his new album Jazz Cat, he delivers with gusto. Filled with the smoked-out, laid-back cut-and-paste rhythm-ology that The Deli is known for, Jazz Cat contains 15 enticing beat compositions. The title cut shows where he’s at, transmitting an old-is-new-again feel through scratchy snare snaps, loping piano chords, and faraway — both in time and place — city sounds. Other highlights include the dreamy lounge pressure of “Virgo Flip,” “Fractals” and its shimmering vibraphone atmospheres, the ‘hip hop party happening down the street’ vibe of “Spring,” and the crucial, jazzy beat construction of “Going Home.” Dig in … wIth Jazz Cat, The Deli trips the night fantastic.

Germo Robra (Copasetic) – “These tunes bring me into a perfect summer mood. A fantastic combination of relaxed beats and loungy jazz, with a hint of West Coast hip hop.”

Futureworlder - Just Let It All Go (Whiskey Pickle)

Whiskey Pickle puts out a solid installment of psychoactive house with Brian Traister’s otherworldly Just Let It All Go EP. As Futureworlder, Traister gives a taste of the alternative planet of his imagination. The Brooklyn-based DJ and producer’s escape unfolds like the unforeseen house expression of a new age past.

The hazy sun rises over the horizon mirrored in the water as the opener “Forever” begins, awash with warm synths lapping at the shore while revelers weary from the night before are summoned by the steady rhythm of the kick drum to give it another go, tempted by the rising hi-hats and chunky bassline, dancing in the warm sand, only coming down midstream to cool off in the surf and then dance some more in the rising sun. “Energie” follows, quoting an old school, lush deep house flavor complete with warm, enveloping pads and echoing percussion. “I believe good can only bring good,” says the voice on the third offering “Altruism,” and repeats like the clear memory of a party-worn dancer whose flood of endorphins makes him philosophical, hopeful, and unreserved. The voice comes and goes, like a flashback after the night is over, powerful for a few moments, playing on a loop with psychedelic waves that swell and recede over a house beat. “Just Let It All Go” rounds things out, merging a chunkier rhythm section with hypnotic, shimmering synth arpeggiations and swirling strings.”

Nick Warren (The Soundgarden) – “A very, very good EP. 4 great tracks.”
Blueshift (Nurvous Records) – “Great vibe on these. “Energie” is really beautiful.”
Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “Love these. Dreamy and hypnotic to get lost in.”
Lebrosk (Mixmag) – “Yes yes! Can’t get enough of this one.”
Logan Fisher (Haules Baules) – “Very nice. Altruism is a real creeper.”
DJ Supafly (DJ Supafly) – “Love the funk-infused house beats, the dreamy keys and gritty basslines. Will do some damage in the late-night sets for sure.”
Ket Shah (Mucho Soul) – “Some powerful tracks on this release.”
Jon Manley (hOUSEwORX Radio show) – “Wow. Atmospheric House nailed right here, stunning!”
Mark Mac (The Sounds Collective) – “Deep, solid release rammed full of driving energy.”
DJ Nova (Rodon FM 95) – “Shimmering sonics, cascading stabs and melodies synthesize this no place, no time, just space release… Deep dub space sound at its best. Housey trance for your mind, your body and your soul!”

JV featuring Quinton Xavier - Every Time (Harmonious Discord)

Everyday connections, moments in space and time.
When you have a piece of my heart, it’s every time …

Harmonious Discord Recordings is excited to welcome back soul-specialist JV (AKA Jason Vasilas) with “Every Time,” a special project featuring vocalist Quinton Xavier. The duo offer a modern-day love song filled with passion and emotion, and set to the rhythm of a well-tempered tech house production. The combination is likely to be coined an instant classic. Remixes come courtesy of the versatile HD veteran Dorian and Hands Free (Akbal, My Favorite Robot, Connoisseur).

The original of “Every Time” presents a dreamy vision of poetic passion by balancing the vocals with thoughtfully constructed synthesizers and reversed effects. Frequencies swirl and build as Quinton’s vocals reach their peak and dulcet tones culminate with periodic fills to propel the momentum onward. Dorian’s remix wipes the dream-state away offering flavors of disco-era drums alongside classic house synths. Quinton’s vocals are in the forefront with penetrating vocal modulation. Musically rich and percussively precise, Dorian’s remix is poised to be a defining moment for mixed sets. Hands Free dives deep offering two versions of his subversive interpretation. Dissonant, unsettling sounds fill the cavernous space created by this slow burn. Hypnotic and ritualistic, the Hands Free mixes provide rumbling percussion and reverberated artifacts that cascade into pensive melodic harp accents and broad sweeping swells. There’s a mood for all occasions in this package.

Nick Warren (The Soundgarden) – “Very cool mixes from Hands Free.”
Vanilla Ace (OFF Recordings / Bunny Tiger) – “Nice tracks for a bar / pool chill vibe.”
Craig Steward (Montana & Stewart) – “Feelin’ the Dorian remix. Very tasty.”
KJ (Integrity Recordings) – “Tight production. Infectious.”
Chris Udoh (Tigerhook) – “Very very nice!”
Laurent N. (House Nation Radio) – “The Dorian Remix is super!”
Simon Francis (The Visionaires) – “A grower. I felt the original particularly just seep into the consciousness.”
DJ Electric (Magapolis 89.5 – Russia) “Very nice single. I’ll be trying all of the versions.”
Sumsuch (Colour and Pitch) – “SUPERP! Full support on this beauty.”
Ivan Garci (Vlosfer Records) – “Very nice release. Hands Free is my favorite, but all of the tracks are great.”
Daryl Dee (The Chewb Radio) – “Really feeling this. Great vocal and wicked selection of mixes.”
