Lewie Day - aka Tornado Wallace - ups the meteorological ante and turns in some laser-guided, ethno-hypno, eco-lectro jams for the eighth Beats In Space Records release.

The three tracks of Tornado Wallace's Desperate Pleasures EP sound like the work of a comfortable yet adventurous producer who isn't afraid to take a simple yet exotic theme and stride to the other side of the jungle.
According to Wallace, this is "music for darker times in warmer climes, for where there is sun there are shadows.'
What began as in-the-moment experiments with an assortment of old synths, drum machines, and dusty library records evolved into three super dapper, viscerally contaminated compositions, each one more zoned in / out than the next.

Drawing from 70s kraut, 80s post-punk, electro, and 90s house and trance, the ten plus years of producing / DJ experience that Wallace boasts allow for all of these elements to fuse together quite tastefully and strikingly at that.
Ultimately, these Tornado jams dodge genre conventions for a curious and compelling outcome.

Each 12 from Beats in Space Records features original artwork in considerate and serial form.
This 12 features the tropical creature comforts of Californian Steven Harrington and is pressed on tri-colored, Day-Glo splattered wax.
The 12 packaging constructed by Will Work For Good features a removable vinyl BIS logo cling.
Tornado Wallace's Desperate Pleasures will be released on June 18, 2013 on Beats In Space as a limited edition 12'

Our friends in NYC have surprised us once again with a mysterious new label project
MY RULES kicks off with a duo of expertly extended and amended, lost Disco & Funk workouts which are pure psychedelic Loft beauties
As with C.O.M.B.I, Keep It Cheap and NY EDITS, you know these won't be around long and are destined to become cult classics
You know what to do

Special 12" double pack containing the last 2 Millionhands Black edits. Limited to 200 only, these will go fast...

Edits may be dead, but just when your elitist attitude comes to a head and you think you're on top of your game, there will always be someone deeper, faster and still motivated enough to rekindle your digging desires. Where Blackdisco Volume 10 saw the return of Lovefingers and Nitedog, Volume XI pushes forward into new territory (and with a new aesthetic) by welcoming a group of three deep diggers who shun musical trends and their inherent fakers. Dea, Albion & Spacelex combine their vinyl-mining efforts to unearth some real diamonds from the rough. Dea's cut Malaka its a floater with a funky sailboat vibe, while his complimentary cut Taubat takes the tired jungle disco vibe to new level with its triumphant synth-led chorus, an absolute stunner that could be extended for 20 minutes. On the flip, Albion spoons water over the coals, steaming up the joint with an uptempo percussion bomb as if Santana had a disco secret, and Spacelex rides us out with a sexy rock groove complete with mysterious male voiceover, almost as if someone lowered the volume to whisper in your ear.

Foot & Mouth goes all Basildon heritage on this DM tribute EP. Two great re-working's of two-synth classics. Get dark and groovy this November with a bit of Fashion Despatch!

From the tropics comes Whiskey Disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from
latent disco perpetrators. It's loosely connected to Sleazy McQueen and his assorted cohorts.

This second Hobbes Music release is an introduction to the productions of label­owner Hobbes and studio partner Leonidas. It sees the pair harness a love of classic disco, techno, electro, acid, house and UK bass/dub, to create an EP with one foot in the past, one foot in the future and both eyes aimed squarely at the dance floor.

A1) Driftin' employs a vintage gospel sample and a bank of equally vintage synths (ARP Odyssey, Roland Juno 106, Roland SH­101, Sequential Circuits Pro­One) for a very contemporary, hybrid mix of UK bass and house. This track has already had airplay from Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1), proved popular on Soundcloud and has been dropping extremely well when played out, so we think you'll agree it's rather special!

A2) Penthouse Dub is a more spacious composition. Classic disco congas and a delay­soaked guitar line recall the Balearic style of Norwegian modern disco don Todd Terje, then the vintage (Sequential Circuits Prophet T8) synth lines drop... The title is a nod to Heaven 17's classic album, Penthouse & Pavement ­ a key reference point during this track's production.

B1) Jackin' Pschidt treads a more European path, referencing Belgium's late Eighties Nu Beat scene via its drum programming and acid line, with a heavily arpeggiated synth for its euphoric main riff and classic Nineties techno claps driving the beat home. A vocal refrain, compelling you to 'break it down: get into the groove', is as simple a call to action as any you'll find in dance music. But, again, it's the track's bassline which will really get people moving their bodies: no fuss, few effects, just simple dancefloor dynamics. This mix has also proved popular on Soundcloud and been dropping well when played out. The title is a nod to a certain Chicago legend...

B2) Referencing after­hours parties in dingey warehouse spaces, Pavement K flips the script completely, slowing things down and spacing them out ­ all heavy reverb, plodding kicks and atmospheric toms that ring out like some tribal gong in an old Kurosawa film. The bass stabs are as fierce as anything DMZ have put their name to, while the acid line and skittering hats are closer to early Plastikman. The brief vocal snatches are hardly any less abstract, before more waves of bass wash moodily over you and that familiar voice returns to let you know about 'a lot of machines, tapes and electronic setups....' Watch yer bass
bins!

Lío en Río is the epilogue for Con Mi Tiempo Y El Progreso, Linda Mirada's sophomore album, a wonderful collection of summery disco-pop gems. Five of the album's songs are remixed for this E.P.

LA's Secret Circuit, fresh from his first album release in Tim Sweany's BIS label adds a tropical twist to Aire while New York's Phenomenal Handclap Band put their pyschedelic disco sorcery in Secundario. From this side of the pond, fellow Spanish producer Daniel Kyo prepares a Tour de Force with Dinamo and Barcelona's Sabore Bicoro takes Lío en Río to the Balearic territory. Finally Russian amigos Simple Symmetry (half of Pompeya, Moscow's electronic indie kings) take La Costa into an Italo Disco trip to full effect. This EP is definitely a joyful trip through delicate disco influenced pop.

Record Store Day is synonymous with exclusive and limited releases and this year is no different. Featuring our first volume in a series of re-edits from our Luv N'Haight catalog starting off with Mike James Kirkland. Nico Jaar's edit 'What My Last Girl Put Me Through' on his excellent 'Bluewave Edits' previously released by Wolf+Lamb Records is featured on the A-side with a deep rework of the classic 'What Have We Done' by prolific and talented producer 78 Edits on the flip.

Nico Jaar's highly sought after 'Bluewave Edits' release in 2011 contained some radical re-takes and treatments to tracks by Missy Elliot and The Blow but his re-vision of The Mike And The Censations track 'There's Nothing I Can Do About It' was arguably the highlight. Originally released as a 'promotion only' single, this release is an official collaboration between Wolf+Lamb and Ubiquity Records with a follow up edit of another Mike And The Censations track by Nico in the works to be released in the near future as Vol.2 of the Mike James Kirkland re-edit series.

UK producer Jamie Buchanan aka 78 Edits is a veteran in the 12' re-edit scene with releases on Giant Cuts, Audio Parallax, and Editorial. His take on Mike James Kirkland's 'What Have We Done' from the legendary 'Hang On In There' album transforms the original from a conga and vocal driven song to a stretched out, 8 minute, mid-tempo dance tune.

Hott - Works Karen Young's classic 'Hot For You' vocal to fantastic effect. It comes off sounding like half vintage Master C+J, half early Permanent Vacation 12'.

This latest release on Craig Bratley's ever-essential Magic Feet is a 10' which features two remixes of tracks from Femi Kuti's album 'Day by Day' which have never been released on vinyl before.
The remixes were commissioned as part of a unique creative collaboration between Mercer Street / Downtown Records and the Santa Monica-based public radio station KCRW.
And were originally featured on a limited edition compilation CD that was only available as a membership premium during KCRW's bi-annual pledge drive to raise funds to support the station's programming.
Liza Richardson's remix of 'Eh Oh' first came to Craig Bratley's attention when Sean Johnston featured it on his Beats In Space mix. (The engineer on the remix, Jake Davies, was previously Sean's partner in The Hardway Bros). With Magic Feet becoming established, Craig decided to license the track in order to make it available to vinyl lovers.
To complete the package we have Garth Trinidad's Fiyah Dubb of 'One Two', which has additional production by The Mad Scientist.
300 copies only

This one has been in the pipeline for a long time now...and finally those cheeky chappies, The Popular People's Front, drop a killer release on Disco Deviance!!

Featuring their usual blend of disco, electrofunk and proto-house vibes, both reworks are 100% guaranteed to rock the dance floor, and are lovingly extended and amended in trademark PPF style.
Beautifully remastered and cut loud for DJ use.

Following huge success from the past releases in the series, SJNRL09 is here. Five huge edits from Volcov, laced with the same vibes that have seen the SJRNL series become a favourite of so many.

Over four instant classics as suitable for a humid dancefloor as an outdoor BBQ, Navid's Feeling Purple EP exudes an unmistakably summertime vibe. Think Spike Lee's cracked Brooklyn concrete, a crisp new pair of white Levi's, your older brother's Latin Freestyle mixtapes, high-tops straight out of the box, an afternoon cruise around the block.
The EP's title-track features a tiptoeing, gentle stalker of a baseline, gradually unfurling cowbell, and a single, sustained Sunday afternoon matinee organ: simple, d.i.y. elements which evoke the naughty playfulness of a young Prince (or Blood Orange) left alone in his room too long. When Navid croons, 'You got me so discombobulated I don't even know my name/You got me dancin' around my room playin' my air guitar like I'm insane' he captures a sexually charged earnestness gone missing from today's wonky overproduction. True to form, Soul Clap's remix is a study in elevation, a sustained 'hands in the air' arpeggiation that takes the track from sad breakup to first-time party hookup.

The EP's B-side begins in a glorious wash of afternoon sunshine with 'Hard to Find,' a showcase for the wistful yet optimistic vocals of Jesse Rennix, another Bay Area Native also featured on Tanner Ross's 'Blame Game.' Accompanied by subtle disco touches worthy of Giorgio Moroder, Rennix sings of new love, new possibility, the joy of starting over...the ethos of summertime at its core.

'Crew is Staying' is a childlike romp through a grownup's afterparty. As Navid complains of 'ashes on the motherfuckin carpet' and randoms from the club staying past their welcome, one can't help but remember those packed June days at the Marcy when the party took a much needed clearing-out pause, only to begin again for the inner circle. Looking forward to a bright career of releases like this, Navid is definitely invited to stay on.

Fresh from releasing a special, limited edition boxset of The Machine's debut album, fully reinterpreted and re-recorded by Joaquin Claussell (each personally hand-painted by Australian artist Misha Holenbach), the Pyramids Of Mars imprint is set to drop its first official single. Again, as with the Machine boxset, the label is set to collaborate with Dalston's LN-CC store to exclusively stock this special leather (yes, leather) sleeved vinyl. So who is worthy of such an opulent package Step forward Rouge Mécanique - a 25-year-old Parisian armed with a Telecaster and a fresh approach to dance music, whose fashion designer friend Aurelia Paumelle designed the unique sleeve. The title track 'Witches' sees rock'n'roll guitar slashes slowed down to a sexual disco groove, while swirls of psychedelic noise come from all angles. It's got the grind and the groove in a way not heard since The Skatt Brothers, conjuring up images of New York's sleazy meat-packing district of yesteryear. On the B-side 'Stingray' is even more offbeat, a tripped-out hip hop groove originally composed to accompany the models on a catwalk - like Ry Cooder, Didier Marouani and Andrew Weatherall left the party at 5am to hit the studio to make a blues record like nothing you've ever heard before. Citing the realm of fashion as a strong influence on his music, this impressive debut is the perfect marriage of both those worlds - keep your eyes peeled for Rouge Mécanique's debut album due for release on Pyramids Of Mars later this year.

"All us here down on Bird Scarer farm have been fans of the work of Mr. Craig Bratley for some time, so it is with pleasure unbound that I announce the release of Bird Scarer 4...

Manufactured in a town just outside Leeds and tested on humans for the first time in a tent just outside Skipton... Ladies and gentlemen... Boys and Girls... 'Obsession' by Craig Bratley.
A sleazy new-beat erotic monster of a tune channeling Mr. Delgado and Mr. Gorl (that's D.A.F. to the un-initiated) in the original version and slo-mo'd even more with added live bass (Andy Baxter) and guitar (courtesy of ex Sons Of Slough member Mr. Duncan Gray) via the Asphodells Mix.
Enjoy a 10" obsession..."
Andrew Weatherall, April 2013.

Emotional Relish sees Emotional Response team up with the Relish label overseeen by Headman to launch the limited Emotional Relish label with the first release helmed by Headman in cahoots with Scott Fraser and Douglas McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb fame. The title track has McCarthy suppling gurgly and anthemic vocals while Headman and Fraser drop cold basement beats, warbling synths and driving arpeggios. Of the three alternate mixes, the first comes from the Hardway Bros and their "Axis Forces dub", which powers home '90s new beat and EBM stylings, while Mexican producer Daniel Maloso puts emphasis on the the original arpeggio and breathy McCarthy vocals. The additional dub mix reduces the synth action and like Maloso, reworks the the Nizter Ebb's vocalist's yelps, making a great alternative club mix.

2 hot new tracks from Steven De Peven aka AWANTO 3 with a beauty of an Aardvarck remix that plain ROLLS... Great to see two of the red nose crew re-united on vinyl once again! TIP!

Following on from his blistering Essential Mix debut back in February, Marco Niemerski AKA Tensnake releases his highly anticipated new single '58 BPM' on May 13th. Just like his equally on-point remix for Little Boots celebrating Record Store Day in 2012, this new release is an equally limited vinyl run that's limited to 400 copies worldwide - only this time, the music is all his own. And the remix on the flip comes from Dublin-via-Berlin producer Mano Le Tough.
'58 BPM' is the first fruits of Tensnake's long-awaited artist album, which will be released at the end of September. A little slower than some of his recent output, '58 BPM' is a shimmering, soul-drenched electronic ballad that features the vocal talent of Berlin-based singer/songwriter Fiora.
With a catalogue that already includes classics like 'Coma Cat', 'Holding Back My Love' and 'In The End (I Want You To Cry)', Tensnake is one of the most exciting electronic artists at work today. We'll leave the last word to Niemerski himself:
'58BPM' is a song I produced with the super-talented singer Fiora, who features on several tracks on my forthcoming album. I am extremely proud of the song and the whole vibe of the track - and it's a sign of what's to come: The remix on the b-side comes from Mano Le Tough, whose new 'Changing Days' album on Permanent Vacation I really love. I also put out his very first record 'Eurodancer' on Mirau back in 2009 so there's a nice link from the past to the present and future!"

FAR OUT RECORDINGS IS PROUD TO PRESENT TWO CLASSIC AZYMUTH TRACKS MASTERFULLY REMIXED BY THE MIGHTY HAT-WEARING PRODUCERS ASHLEY BEEDLE AND OPOLOPO. TAKEN FROM THE FORTHCOMING MAY RELEASE OF 'AURORA REMIXED' (2xCD), THESE 4 CUTS WILL KEEP DANCEFLOORS HEAVING AROUND THE GLOBE THIS SUMMER.
Aurora 'Remixed' is an electrifying album that mirrors, like for like, the tracklist of the original 2011 release, with remixes and re-edits specially commissioned from some of today's most in-demand producers. On the A-side of this 12', Far Out family friend and producer extraordinaire Ashley Beedle, slows down the tempo of 'É Mulher', grabs elements of Bertrami's original melody and shapes them around a seriously funky bassline to deliver a spaced out groover of epic proportions. The remix is accompanied by a slick dub version with darker connotations, deep spacey synths and a deliciously liquid low-end. Dub version exclusive to the vinyl release.

On the B-Side, Far Out meets for the first time with Swedish producer Opolopo. After being hugely impressed by 'Mutants', a collection of his remixes for Tokyo Dawn Records, (including the massively popular rework of Gregory Porter's '1960 What') the label approached the talented producer for a remake of 'Carnaval Legrand', a classic Azymuth tune that Bertrami dedicated to the great Franco-Armenian arranger and composer Francisco Legrand. While maintaining the original samba doido (crazy samba) spirit and melody, Opolopo counterpoints infectiously funky keys with rolling filtered percussion and sub-end drops to create a tougher remix, ready for the 2013 dancefloor. The dub cut does away with the main melody for a more stripped down version that brings deep stabs and choice elements of the funky keys to the fore whilst maintaining a deep and driving groove.
Regards,

ESCORT is definitely not your typical band. Escort is big. Literally. The seventeen-member "disco orchestra", founded by producers Eugene Cho and Dan Balis, and fronted by lead singer Adeline Michèle, features an incredible cast of musicians who have played with everyone from indie-rock titans Arcade Fire to avant-classical luminaries Alarm Will Sound.

No Static Recordings is excited to announce a ten track album of remixes of classic Escort tracks, by some of the Disco and House scenes key players including Greg Wilson, Ewan Pearson, Max Essa, Leftside Wobble, Proper Heat, Venice Beach, Jkriv, Black Russian and Sub Swara. Available on CD and digitally at all good music stores this Summer.

Escort burst on to the scene in 2006 with a string of critically acclaimed 12"s that included future classics "Starlight" and "All Through The Night", both DJ staples that get still get plenty of play on dancefloors. As DJs nursed their electro-clash hangover with a seemingly never ending stream of disco edits, Escort stood out, in part, by creating dance music the old fashioned way: with impeccable production, musicianship, and song-writing. The following several years saw them bring the same uncompromising approach to their live show. In an era where dance music is dominated by samples and computers, Escort took a sprawling ensemble to the stage and developed a reputation as one of New York's most compelling live acts, capable of performing their elaborate recordings note for note.

There's not much information available about this mysterious release, but it looks like a sunken treasure has found its way to daylight: A crazy no-wavey-punk-funky jam by the artist formerly known as a guy from Minneapolis.

Now available for the first time on 12"!
Pressed on purple vinyl with white marbling, this beautiful diamond comes along with three pearls: a re-mastered version of the original track, a cover version and a jackin' House re-edit.
We suspect that berlin based producer noema droped the crazy cover version and chicago's own Jamie 3:26 rides the rhythm on the edit... rumours..rumours..rumours
Vinyl only release limited to 500 copies!

In January the debut album 'The Damage Is Done' by Hot Coins,
the disco crossbreed project by Danny Berman (best known for
his house productions as Red Rack'em), was released. His
personal time machine journey into the sights and sounds of
downtown New York sometime around the late seventies/early
eighties is much more than a tribute to his heroes of those times. It's
also a brilliant examination of today's club music.

Delivered from its celestial womb to the human world for inevitable elevation, Tactile Galactics is the new album by Secret Circuit and first full length release from Beats In Space Records (RVNG Intl). Secret Circuit is the guise of Eddie Ruscha Jr., a sometimes sage known and beloved throughout the Los Angeles creative community. Amongst his earliest musical endeavors, Ruscha co-founded Medicine, an overlooked four piece whose sinister, snarling take on shoegaze landed them as the first American signing to Creation Records. After leaving Medicine without a bad taste in his mouth, Ruscha's focus shifted from his shoes to the endless array of LA music stores housing analog synthesizers, drum machines and effect units forsaken at the advent of digital technology. While establishing his Secret Circuit identity through various self-releases, Ruscha was a wingman in notable projects with Thomas Bullock (Rub 'N' Tug) as Laughing Light of Plenty and with DJ Harvey as Food For Gods. Ruscha likens his studio obsession to 'striving for alien sound or rhythm that feels natural.' Between 2011 and 2012, Ruscha released no less than four albums, a 12' for Prins Thomas' Internasjonal Spesial label, a handful of blazing mixes on the Cosmic Papers cassette tape series, and his debut for Beats In Space Records, the Nebula Sphynx / Parascopic Rope 12'. Ever the unsettled settler, Ruscha consciously crafted the bulk of Tactile Galactics' tracks at 120 beats per minute. Ruscha played with the equalizing value of this boilerplate dance music BPM in much the same way a DJ might — to set a clear course for transcendence. Tactile Galactics is derived from a dance lineage promoting feel over form; rhythmically explored without abandon — or audience — in mind by the krautrock fringe, put to the slow motion disco test at Daniele Baldelli's Cosmic Club, jacked into a House format via the Chicago imprint TRAX and honored today via peer psychonauts like Hieroglyphic Being and Lindstrøm. Tactile Galactics unleashes the lysergic choir of voices in Ruscha's head against a dance grid, but makes sure it stays in soulful step. For the first time on a Secret Circuit recording, these voices are quite literally present via Ruscha's own vocals, added when 'the song called for them.' It's by this same regard of the powerful unknown that makes Tactile Galactics Secret Circuit's most incomprehensibly detailed and stunning release to date.

12 months after impressing with their frazzled Balearic rock debut, Dinosaur
Zappa and The Visitor Paul Murphy, Alex Searle and Quinn Luke resurrect their
Paqua project for another spine-tingling trip into kaleidoscopic rock territory.
'Late Train' is a decidedly dubbed-out West Coast rock epic - two parts low-
slung dub-disco, three parts stoner rock, and four parts wide-eyed psychedelia.
It ebbs and fows over 11 undulating minutes, sounding like a long lost '70s
prog rock gem produced by the Idjut Boys. It's a bit of a stunner, all right.
'We Are What We Are' offers some respite. Fusing sparring guitars - electric
and acoustic - with a loose, baggy, organic groove, it's an effortless blast of
summer sunshine. While decidedly Balearic in nature, it owes more to classic
West Coast rock than White Isle electronica. As you'd expect from Claremont
56, it's perfectly pitched and more than a little wide-eyed.

Current Northern Soul Dancefloor Fashion For Funky 70s Dancers Makes This Reissue A Winner With an Unreleased Tom Moulton Mix As Bonus On The Flip

Timelines' is the new LP from British house producer Luke Solomon and it will be released via his and Derrick Carter's Classic imprint in May in a package that features the LP, a selection of remixes and a mixed bonus version.
Luke Solomon's influence on house music has been strongly felt for many years. As a DJ and promoter he pioneered mid-week London clubbing with his legendary Space night alongside the late, great Kenny Hawkes. As a producer he has constantly delivered original, often idiosyncratic and always unique house music (and beyond) for an enviable list of imprints. As an A&R he has helped develop many a career (Tiefschwarz, Freeform 5 and Isolee to name but a few) with The Classic Music Company and continues to do so with Classic and his new role as one of Defected's A&R team.

'Timelines is an album that I have been making and remaking over the last 6 years.

I started work on it off of the back of The Difference Engine (Rekids), my last LP under my own name. The idea was to make the album part of a trilogy, this one being representative of my more Balearic roots. The original version that was completed fell on deaf ears quite considerably and it became a bit of a sticking point for me.
I decided to put it to one side and in the process started working on some other music, which in turn, helped me stumble across a new sound and production technique. The initial idea was to work on a series of songs that represented significant points in my life, but lyrically and musically. It then became more relevant to the 6 years of writing and producing the album. A lot of shit happened, and I was able to pour it into finally completing the album. I then decided to keep the album guarded and close as it had become that personal. I didn't want the album to be effected by opinions of those that were too close to me and the music.
What I ended up with is something that has come straight from the heart. Made possible by joining forces with a whole stack of talented musicians and singers over the last 6 years.'
Luke Solomon
Timelines', even the incredibly humble and self-effacing Solomon would Agree, is his best work to date. Featuring vocal contributions from Jon Marsh, Natalie Broomes, Terry Grant and Tiger Tiger, as well as musicianship from Arthur Jeffes (various keys), Andy Neil (guitar and bass), Martin Radford (strings), Sammy Bishai (Violins) , Chris Storr (Horns), Steve Parry (Horns), Anu Pilai (Guitar/bass), Tom Bailey (Guitar) and Danny Harrison (Drums), 'Timelines' is so much more than the usual house music album, it's one man deftly controlling and mastering his very own musical chaos.
Luke Solomon's 'Timelines' is released on Classic mid-May 2013.

Two years on from the release of their remarkable debut album, 'New Moon', Almunia return with a second full-length of chugging psychedelic dub disco, shimmering acoustic grooves and spine-tingling Italian Balearica. Decidedly less heady than its predecessor, 'Pulsar' impresses with its glistening guitars, touchy-feely textures, ocean-blue chords and otherworldly atmospherics. Along the way, there are tracks that variously sound like Cos/Mes jamming with Pet Metheny ('The Magician'), the Idjuts locking horns with Mudd ('Ode To Mum'), classic Scandolearica (the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas-ish 'Pulsar'), Peter Green on valium ('Views From A Blue Train') and a lost Fleetwood Mac track ('Secret Marriage'). All set on a beautiful thick card gatefold LP featuring brilliant new artwork by Mark Warrington this is an essential summer album

Dirty Projectors are set to release "The Socialites" Remixes 12", an unreleased set of remixes of the standout track from last year's critically acclaimed Swing Lo Magellan album.
The white label 12" vinyl features remixes from Joe Goddard, AlunaGeorge and FaltyDL,

Earl Jeffers is an alias and side project from Chesus (Local Talk, Ten Thousand Yen) and his second release for Catapult Records delivers two raw and infectious slices of filtered disco house revisionism. 'The Goose' and 'Let It Out' are both crisp clean tracks of soul hacking euphoria that deliver some extravagant 4/4 dance floor ammunition.
