Play It Say It
Browse the latest digital releases on Play It Say It
Review: Having previously impressed with a series of collaborative singles on Play It Say It, Florentine producer Leonardo Gonnelli and "live electronic act" Adne return to the label with another suitably strong EP. This time round there are two original cuts to choose from: the high-octane, driving tech-house hustle of "Subbeat", where wonky noises and sweaty percussion ride a formidable groove, and the similarly dense, druggy and dancefloor friendly "Acidsia." Both tracks are accompanied by rock solid remixes, too. Jean Pierre delivers a suitably spaced-out hybrid tech-house/deep house tweak of "Subbeat" that's less claustrophobic than the original mix, while the "Synthesis Mix" of "Acidsia" makes much greater use of off-kilter spoken word vocals and bouncier, Hot Creations style beats.

Review: With recent releases for Desolat and Whippin' that saw Mason Collective team up with legendary Detroit producer Stacey Pullen, the three piece arrive on Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label with a four-track EP of bassline-centric clubs tracks. "That's Gas" pushes electro swing vocals, bumping basslines and classic old school Chicago percussion with the type of tom-foolery you'd expect from a Yello production in the background. Dirty club vibes make it to "Ready To Work" with an undeniable hi-hat groove while techier workouts set up "Steezin'". With more melody, minimalism and dynamics to be found on the title-track, "Art Is Long" is a perfect cut for those free and easy Sunday after hour sessions.

Review: Up and coming sounds from the New York club scene right now point to David Berrie, a producer who in some three years has collaborated with Jamie Jones via Hot Creations and landed another record on Hottrax and Seth Troxler's Play It Say It. Inhibitions serves up three more finely tuned numbers in classy club house, with a dubbed out Twilight mix of the title track added for good measure. In comparison to the original, vocals are distant, hazier and trippier with subtle phasing effects brought to foreground to stylistic effect. Subtle strands of kuduro vocals are threaded between a mix of skipping hi hats and walking basslines in "Cherry Bomb" while for the dubwise vinyl pop lovers out there's the sweet chord play and detuned vocals that hit the spot in "Buchabeats".

Review: It's been a while since we've heard from London-based minimal heroine Kate Simko, the last time being the epic London Electronic Orchestra & project she was involved in back in 2016. The Chicago native's hybrid electronic-orchestral music has taken her to high class events around the world, including her and Jamie Jones' sold out 'Opus 1' debut at the Barbican Centre last Autumn, while her solo releases have appeared on Last Night on Earth, No.19 Music and Get Physical amongst others. Get ready to work up a sweat with these two solid grooves: from the tough yet emotive boompty-funk of "By My Side", followed by the deeper and more introspective "Party Wall" (harking back to her minimal techno days) while retaining an undeniable Windy City style attitude of her hometown.

Javier Carballo presents Terms & Javier Carballo
Played by: Juno Recommends Techno
Review: With releases on labels like Blind Vision and Vatos Locos already to his credit, Javier Carballo now brings his Terms project to Seth Troxler's imprint. The title track is a dubbed out affair, featuring warbling acid lines and spaced out vocal samples, while on "Haggerstation", he changes focus and ups the tempo to deliver a rough, drum-heavy workout that resounds to wired 303 pulses. In contrast, "Lost Time" is a deeper, niggling groove that calls to mind the late 90s tech-house of acts like Circulation, while on "London", he reverts to the type of gritty, drum-led sound that prevailed on "Haggerstation".

Review: Spain's Cuartero covers a fair range of musical ground on this EP. 'Micromaya' is a funk-fuelled tech-houser, propelled along by a rolling bassline and topped with cut-up male rap fragments, 'Aire Libre' is a sparser cut that harks back to mid-00s minimal/glitch with its micro-percussion and stop-start feel, while 'Part Of The Affair' blends the floor appeal of tech-house, the intricate sonic detail of minimal and the groove of deep house. 'Pa Chu' meanwhile, has a similar MO to the latter but also sports a vocal that's ostensibly saying "pa chu" but SOUNDS like it's saying "bad tune!" - and it is, in the best possible way.

Review: Seth Troxler takes a break from collaborating with Phil Moffa on the superbly sci-fi Lost Souls of Saturn project to join forces with a far more mysterious outfit. His Play It Say It label isn't giving away the identity of the producer (or producers) behind the Day or Night project, but the suspicious is that he/she/they are big in the game. "Me, You, Us" is pretty darn good all told, with Troxler and his shadowy collaborators wrapping trippy motifs, odd spoken word vocal snippets and a nagging synth hook around a rolling, delay-laden drum track reminiscent of those used by New York's proto-house producers in the early-to-mid 1980s

Review: Leonardo Gonnelli & Adne are back on Play It Say it (one month after their last outing on the label) with another fantastic EP. Florentine DJ/producer Gonnelli has been on the scene for 10 years, with his distinct take on house finding favour on top labels like Gruuv, Get Physical and Deeperfect. He joins up again with with Adne: a live outfit who bring samples, live vocals and a love of weirdness to their music. Features the boompty minimal house groove of "Is It Right" (and its infectious acid inflections) as well as the similarly styled "Girl" pllus the tribal hypnotic groove of "Maaya". Also featured is by a thumping rework of "Is It Right" by the FUSE London affiliated Seb Zito - which takes the track from the afterhours to the peak time.

Review: Detroit's finest Ataxia return to Seth Troxler's Play It Say It, with their incredible new five-track EP - their third appearance now on Seth Troxler's esteemed label. Ataxia had a huge year in 2018 with EPs also on Visionquest, KMS, Leftroom and Nervous. All the while they have maintained their now ten-year residency at top Detroit venue TV Lounge. These are five off kilter club cuts that bring plenty of new ideas to the table, and with style to spare. There's a dark tunnelling journey aboard the acid express on "6 LFO", a deep down and dirty percolator jack on "Macara" with more 303 shenanigans and some tough rolling tech house for the main room on "The Globe".
