Germany’s own Kris Menace surely isn’t a stranger in the realms of electronic music, considering that he’s released numerous classy tracks on several labels over the years. Now it shouldn’t be too hard to guess what the outcome of him collaborating with an absolute legend of Chicago house would sound like… Quite a no-brainer, that that would be something house heads around the globe could have faith in, no? Yup, his latest single “Trusting me” features the one and only Robert Owens on vocals, who has significantly helped to shape the triumphal march of (t)his genre with his former group Fingers Inc and so many other projects and tracks. Calling Robert the voice of house music isn’t too much of an overstatement, if you ask us! The single comes with a load of top notch remixes (Le Crayon, Penner & Muder, Good Guy Mikesh & Filbuert etc.) and an incredible video shot by award winning Danish director Meeto Worre Kronborg Grevsen from We Make Colors (check it right here!). Trust us – you wouldn’t want to miss out on this one!

Vin Sol hails from sunny California and calls himself a drum machine freak, vinyl creep and dance music otaku. Not the worst initial situation if one wants to produce clever dance music, right? And that’s exactly what Vin does. He has a new EP coming out on Unknown To The Unknown which is called “Edges Of A Vortex” and right here you can check out its title track! This is quite the surreal party starter, riddled with Chicago house references, which should get you geared up while you’re cannonballing along the French Riviera on your pink speed boat.

Well people, what can we say… Here’s the new single of a man, born with a broken heart, who surely does not need an introduction: The UK’s own James Blake. And “Retrograde” is all we could have asked for. It’s been on repeat ever since we heard it for the first time and it’s so bittersweet and beautiful that we’ll listen to it again in 3 – 2 – 1… You should really do the same and stream it right here to forget about it all for some time. Also make sure to check out Blake’s sophomore album “Overgrown”, because it is just as amazing.

Benedikt Frey is a jack-of-all-trades in musical regards: He’s a musician, disc jockey, sound student and label owner, hailing from Frankfurt, Germany. No matter what it is this prodigy lays his hands on: it will undoubtedly burst with dedication and sophistication. So it’s hardly a surprise he’d attract the attention of such renowned labels as LIVE AT ROBERT JOHNSON, where he released an impressive EP entitled “Running In Circles” last year. His newest coup is a “3 track album” on vinyl entitled “Delinquencies”, which comes into the world on Frey’s own imprint LOPUSURA. That’s an abbreviation for “love, pain, sunshine & rain”, and the label is meant to be a platform for “electronic music that is made for deep and trippy journeys”. And that’s exactly what the title track “Delinquencies” is: intelligently produced house music, that impresses with its numerous layers and facets. Stream the track right here, check out the hauntingly beautiful video below and try to catch this puppy on vinyl while you can!
