Review: Discuji returns to UNKNOWN Season with a bang, bigging up Baltimore's vibrant music scene with his latest collection of remixes. Adding to the excitement is NYC's legendary DJ-producer DJ Romain who makes his debut on UNKNOWN Season, delivering funky filter disco remixes reminiscent of that iconic NYC sound. From DJ Romain's infectious grooves to Discuji's TransPacific Dub, inspired by M-Scape & Yoshi Horino, this package ventures deep into disco-infused tracks made for the party - turn it up!
Review: Baltimore-based Discuji made his Unknown Season label debut, building on admired outings for the likes of Nervous and Sub_urban Records, late last year. Here, the title track from that EP gets the remix treatment. Long serving NYC producer DJ Romain steps up first, delivering vocal and instrumental takes built around tough, swinging and sweat-soaked house beats, crunchy Clavinet lines, trippy electronics and subtle acid lines. Satoshi Tuomi opts for a breezier, lighter tone on his warming, colourful and organ-rich deep house take - check the tech-tinged counter melodies that wrap themselves around the main groove as the track progresses - while M-Scape and Yoshi Horino's 'Inspiration' take sits somewhere between warming organic house and saucer-eyed nu-disco.
Review: Sub-urban's popular annual compilation series returns for an eleventh time, bringing with it 12 more slabs of dancefloor-focused goodness with the label's usual intergalactic, tech-tinged twist. It begins with a gorgeous slab of spoken-word sporing melodic electro deepness (Guri, Elder and Life on Planets' superb 'The Rhythm of Life') and ends with the twinkling piano motifs, shuffling grooves, soulful vocals and rubbery electronic bass of Lee Wilson and Emi CA's 'Empty'; in between, you'll find a fine blend of locked-in tech-house bump (Discuji's 'Octavia'), bouncy and ever-rising Afro-tech ('Wili' by Roman Jack, with its' jammed-out organ motifs and glistening jazz guitar), the spacey, hands-aloft vocal house loveliness of Round Shapes Triangles, Guri & Elder's 'Forever Young' (as remixed by label founder Sebas Ramis), and the lolloping, mid-tempo swell of Discuji's 'Space Is The Place'.
