DJ Samuel Lawrence - Can't Go Back (R Side Recordings)

DJ Samuel Lawrence returns with a double-sided single that proves his mastery of late-night dance floor dynamics. Released on his R-Side Recordings, "Can't Go Back" and "Downside" showcase the veteran producer's knack for crafting purposeful club weapons that speak to classic sensibilities.

The lead cut, "Can't Go Back," builds around a hefty kick drum foundation, layering filtered female vocals over a muscular bass pattern. Lawrence demonstrates finesse in the breakdown section, where swirling percussion elements create tension before the track's thunderous return. On the flip, "Downside" ventures into moodier territory. The track's tribal rhythmic core pulses beneath cinematic string arrangements, while a processed vocal hook adds an air of mystery. The production nods to warehouse-era aesthetics while maintaining a modern punch, particularly in its gritty low-frequency elements.

Drawing from his two decades behind the decks at events like Love Parade and Burning Man, Lawrence has distilled his understanding of the dancefloor into these two complementary cuts. The release reinforces his reputation for delivering reliable DJ ammunition that sacrifices neither creativity nor impact.

Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “Something very satisfying about both of these tracks.”
Jason Merle (4E&A Records) – “Serious underground bizness right there.”
Jim Stiff (Woodwork Recordings) – “Downside is my favorite. I love when the sustained pads come in and give it a light feel before the vox come in and make it extra heavy.”

Juan Moreno (Traum Schallplaten) – “Nice track, perfect for the nighttime.”
Anthonne Shepherd (BoogieKnights) – “I'm really digging the vocal in Can't Go Back. Downside is wicked too and the punters will instantly be singing along.”

Always Friends - Be-All / End-All (No Way Back)

Be-All / End-All, a new three-track offering from Brad Eller's No Way Back imprint, showcases Brad's project Always Friends and his prowess in crafting deep, soulful soundscapes that are as intellectually stimulating as they are danceable.

"Be-All" sets the stage with a tight kick and bass combo, layered with liquidy synth pads that create a dubbed-out dance-scape. It's a journey through late-night sparkles and deep house shakes that leave listeners craving more.

Enter Allen Craig, whose remix of "Be-All" injects a classic deep techno feel into the mix. With filtered pads and snappy percussive hits, Craig's interpretation is a mesmerizing spin around the dancefloor cul-de-sac.

Rounding out the release, "End-All" cranks up the BPM with a sleek tech house vibe. It's a ride down dimly lit city streets featuring shimmering chord pads that hark back to classic Detroit stylings. The track's dark bounce and intense dub elements showcase Eller's willingness to embrace chaos in his typically controlled productions.

Be-All grooves in all the right places taking the dancers down to a deep house disco whilst Allen Craig's mix dives deeper taking it down a couple of notches, a dreamy, spaced out affair. End-All moves into dark disco territory upping the tempo to have the dancers sweating profusely.”
