HOMAGE is a Brooklyn based independent record label and party series focused on furthering real rave sounds and culture. Founded by Ryan Clover and Fabi Jugo in January 2017, the boys have worked to release forward-thinking music from many genres within the underground house and techno continuum. All killer no filler.
Review: Ohio house producer Teakup has yet to release a lot of music, but the few releases we have heard have all been superb. Happily, he's also on fine form throughout Sips Tea, his first outing on Brooklyn imprint Homage. He starts in confident mood via the Wurlitzer organ stabs and dense, heavily percussive deep house beats of 'Buckwheat (The Body Knows)', before successfully employing ghostly chords, funky synth-bass and smoother beats on 'Evaporate'. 'Ice Cream Spork' is spacey-and-funky and sounds like an early morning classic in the making, while 'What' is a breakbeat-driven chunk of light-night wonkiness. 'This Version' sees him sneakily add reggae vocal samples to an off-kilter electronic groove, while closing cut 'Dipthong' is a decent slab of deep house/tech-house fusion.
Review: An enigmatic producer delivers their latest work on the 'Post Meridian' EP, via Brooklyn's Homage imprint. Hailing from Atlanta, Stranded's material blurs the lines between post-punk, new wave, house and disco. The moody and low slung title track with its surf guitar and shuffling rhythm treads a similar path to Curses, and receives an introspective remix later by local hero Stefan Ringer (NDATL/People's Potential Unlimited). Elsewhere, the noir-ish swagger of "Cherry Fortune" or "Glass Shock" calls to mind UK legends Bauhaus during their 'Burning From The Inside' era.
