LONG LOST SOULS

[HearDis! 387]

Anthony Godwin is an aspiring producer from Toulouse, France. According to himself, the style of his music is “melodic Techno and Neotrance”. Though the description of his sound is probably meant rather ironic, it is also quite fitting somehow! “Âme Perdu”, which is French for “Lost Soul”, may be a self-diagnosis on the one hand, but it surely also is a phenomenally beautiful electronic romance on the other. Still waters run deep – so dive in!

NO BRAINER

[HearDis! 381]

What could be the result of a legendary house producer working with a legendary singer? That’s right, a great track that we simply have to feature on HUGO Tracks! Hamburg’s own Boris Dlugosch really deserves to be labeled as a legend: shaping the deep house sound like few others with his sets at legendary club FRONT in the mid-eighties, Dlugosch went on to become a world renown dj with numerous club hits. Wait a second, didn’t that guy remix Moloko’s “Sing It Back” and worked with their front singer Róisín Murphy on his hit “Never Enough”? That’s true – and he did just that once again! “Look Around You” features another stunning performance by Ms. Murphy and comes with a phenomenal video clip. Guaranteed hit!

COMPLEXITY OF ANGELS

[HearDis! 377]

Keenhouse is the alter ego of LA-based Ken Rangkuty. Rangkuty grew up in Indonesia and Germany, where he enjoyed diverse music training. In 2008, he released his debut album from his new home in Southern California, which was an 8 track-affair entitled “Civic Transit” and truly well-received by the blogosphere. Since Keenhouse understands music as a story, meaning something with a beginning, a middle and an end, it’s not really surprising that his new sophomore LP is a conceptually strong record full of different facets and influences. In order for you guys to be able to peek a bit into Keenhouse’s world, we have “Where I Belong” right here for your streaming-pleasure. Check it out and be inspired!

Parisian Producer and Dj Guillaume Berroyer aka ARK celebrates his first release on his hometown label Versatile Records. This release is an EP entitled “Street House EP” and it comes digitally and on vinyl! Our favorite on there is the opener “Emba Anthem”, with its samples from a cult west coast 90′s hip hop band (can anyone guess the name of the band?) – hence, we offer a free stream of the track right here for you guys to check! If you dig it as much as we do, go pick up the vinyl before you do anything else… C’est super!
