HEIST 045EP

Pitto is not one to flood the scene with new music considering he's only released two EPs in the last three years. He takes the time to let ideas evolve and it's clearly noticeable on 2019's EP on Something Happening Somewhere sublabel Ooshaa (OOSSHA 001EP), where his feel for an almost poppy hook is perfectly combined with his love for darker electronics. On the Baila Baila EP -- his return to Heist Recordings after his last EP in 2018 (HESIT 032EP) -- he explores this path further. The EP is filled with live percussion, a dark and rolling acid line, chopped beats, and catchy piano riffs. The three originals are accompanied by a remix courtesy of Pete Herbert that has "summer" written all over it. Opening track "Sammie" has a beautiful sense of melancholy to it, where an emotional piano riff is combined with some '80s tinged vocals and loads of live percussive elements for a smile inducing experience. "Discko" takes a darker approach with a deep and "dubby" low end and a guitar riff that wouldn't be out of place on a Caribou track. The horn section and synth lead give it a real crossover appeal and it's the kind of track you imagine working just as well on a summer festival as in a dark basement. On the flip, there's the title track "Baila", a proto inspired acid stomper with a nice wink to early '90s dance music vocals. An acid line gives the track its backbone, but it's the combination of Pitto's chords and instrumentation that give this track it's unique edge. The EP finishes off with Pete Herbert's remix of "Sammie". Pete's version has that full-on summer appeal with his recognizable style of modern day island disco. He adds a bit of drama to the track with some big breakdowns, changeovers in the piano riff and turns the Balearic vibe up a notch with an added dreamy solo.

Third time is a charm, as the saying goes. But if the first two times were already so memorable, what more can one ask for? Nebraska comes back with a bang for his third release on Heist after Soften The Wireless EP (HEIST 017EP, 2016) and Metaphor To The Floor EP (HEIST 028EP, 2017). It's hard to believe it has been three years since his last appearance on Heist, but with Y'miss Me Baby?, Nebraska takes back center stage with another release full of disco-flavored electronics. Italian disco man-of-the-moment Giovanni Damico comes along for the ride and delivers a stunning '80s flavored remix. It's not to say that Nebraska (Alistair Gibbs) has been sitting still since 2017. He's launched his own label Friends & Relations where he explores his cut-and-paste style even more with some seriously cool disco dubs and other sonic adventures. Furthermore, he made a guest appearance on Aaron Dae and JKriv's Razor'n'Tape Reserve. His view is one of humor and positivity and one of creating new meaning through rearranging context. This is certainly true for his music and this new EP on Heist. The title track "Y'miss me baby?" oozes funk with a clever combination of samples from different contexts put together to create something altogether new, yet familiar. The track has a real '80s disco vibe to it and the vocoder adds even more to the Zapp and Roger flavor of things. It's a laidback track that feels like it was recorded on a gloomy Sunday evening with no pressure on anything and just room for fun. The vibe takes a complete left-hand turn with "Dip And Flip," a high-energy house track that rattles, loops and bleeps into a full-on disco frenzy. The B-side kicks off with Italian disco wizard Giovanni Damico remixing the title track. His "Jam" remix flips the track into a freeform arrangement where guitars, disco claps, delays, and retro synth licks all work together for a great taste of Italian boogie. The EP finishes off in true Nebraska style, with yet another curveball. "Xia Long Bao" sounds like a lost Nick Holder track with its loopy island-style Rhodes and lazy chanting. The choice of samples along with the catchy groove makes this a signature Nebraska track and a quality closer for this single.

Heist Recordings are finishing their sixth year of the label with their annual potpourri of remixes with 2019's artists on The Roundup Part VI. There are a few really cool newcomers on the label like Demuir, Perdu, and Makèz, as well as label mainstays Fouk and Detroit Swindle delivering a great collection of remixes. The EP starts off with label heads Detroit Swindle giving their high-energy take on Fouk's "Need My Space". They've chosen for a stabby club version of the more introverted original, with different layers of synths building up alongside a pumping drum track and a punchy Moog bassline. Check the break for a nice dreamy broken beat section before the track comes back into full dancefloor madness. Makèz have only just released their well-received debut EP and now they're flanking Detroit Swindle on the A-side with their remix of Perdu's hit "Sacramento". They replace the broken beat vibe of the original and instead go for a 4x4 track with a driving bassline, warm pads and subtle placement of Perdu's original elements. On the B-side, we have Fouk reinterpreting Demuir's take on Detroit techno with their remix of "3nity returneth". Their version is a tom-heavy high-energy club track with a strong nod to the past, whilst still keeping that strong Fouk signature intact. They mangle the vocal sample in a drunk and twisted break before setting the track back on fire with an extra acid line for good measure. The B2 goes to Perdu's dreamy slow burning remix of Detroit Swindle's classic house bomb "Music For Clubs" featuring Lorenz Rhode. His version takes the tempo down and dials the dreamy level up a notch. A mellow but punchy acid line and worldly synth hits give this remix it's cool twist and it's a great showcase of Perdu's view on the broad world of house music. 2019's Roundup finishes with Demuir's trippy "Playboy Edit" of "Random Visits" by Makèz. He takes the vocal sample and layers it behind a haunting string, dreamy keys and a steady groove. It's got a funky vibe where Demuir's knack for a good groove fits perfectly with the fresh original.

Canada's number one jackin' house ambassador Demuir drops an EP loaded with that true house energy and it comes topped off with a swirling and twirling trip of a remix by Lady Blacktronika. This EP is the result of that short online interaction and a mutual love for high energy house music. This record showcases Demuir's knack for rolling grooves and also shows a deeper, more electronic side of his that might surprise you. The track is "Werq. Feel. Gruv. Vogue." A rough sounding, bumping house track that would have worked just as well in any club in the '90s as it will in today's world of clubbing. The "Vogue" sample has that "tongue in cheek"-vibe and the groove is just irresistible. Top that off with some lovely Rhodes loops, a little disco chop here-and-there and you've got yourself a very original party starter. Heist Recordings always tries to put out diverse EPs, and with "The 3nity Returneth", Demuir delivers a Detroit-tech inspired steam train of a track. The track represents the confidence an artist needs to make it in the music scene. He lays down the groove with a rough bass, rolling hats, and a lovely string sample alongside glimmering electronics for a touch of spirituality. The B-side has two versions of "Philippine Sunrise". The original is a rolling house track with airy synth hits, a Moog-ish rising lead and a freakishly good bass line. The remix comes courtesy of LA native, Berlin-based Lady Blacktronika, who turns the trip factor up a notch or two. She chooses to go for a heads-down direction with a series of dreamy loops to set the mood, all alongside an endless bassline and a steady house groove.

Detroit Swindle is back on Heist Recordings. They come in with full force, delivering a set of Swindle-styled house tracks, accompanied by a jazzy remix by Volcov in his Isoul8 moniker with guest appearances by Kaidi Tatham on keys and Nigel Bennett on vocals. The EP kicks off with "The Life Behind Things"; a life affirming soulful house tune that's cleverly built around a set of switching organ stabs. The energy in this track keeps on building with the filter slowly opening up while live percussion oozes its way through the track (courtesy of Mauskovic Dance Band member, Chris Bruining). After a well working surprise acid break, the track breaks down into a jazzy organ solo by Byron the Aquarius, building up momentum till the full track comes back in for an ecstatic delivery of feel-good dancefloor emotions. The second original of this EP is Detroit Swindle's view on what a party-starting piano house track should sound like with "Music For Clubs". This track is all about rolling drums, lush piano stabs and possibly the funkiest baseline in four-to-the-floor house music. The latter two are made possible by the quick finger work of their live show collaborator and close friend Lorenz Rhode. The full B side goes to Volcov's remix of "The Life Behind Things". He takes his inspiration from the energy of the original and chooses to set a steady groove where the lush key work of Kaidi Tatham shines both on the chords and a muscle-flexing organ solo. The vocal sample from the original is accompanied by some great ad-libs by Nigel Bennett. With these elements working together in perfect harmony, you can practically feel the good vibes these three friends had when recording the remix. It's been on our to-do list for a while to record a full-on house record.

After Detroit Swindle's sophomore album High Life (HEIST 001CD/LP, 2018), Heist Recordings serve up a tasty selection of remixes. Steve Rachmad comes up with a re-interpretation of "Yes, No, Maybe (feat. Tom Misch)", an uplifting modern boogie version of the already funky original. Cinthie takes the high-energy, Afro-funk track "Call Of The Wild (feat. Jungle by Night)" and turns it into a full-on house frenzy. Jura Soundsystem choses to remix "High Life (feat. Lorenz Rhode)", a tamed down, dreamy dub. Matt Karmil provides a moody deep house remix of one of the album's beatless tracks, "Ketama Gold".

Fouk are back on Heist Recordings. "Truffles" is their take on what rave-y piano house should sound like and it's funky as hell. Meanwhile, "I'll Be Down" has ever-so sexy percussion, a moody vocal, and synth-y sprinkles all around. "Need My Space" sounds like something you'd hear if Pépé Bradock and Charles Webster would get together in the studio: dreamy synth lines, lovely textures, and weird electronics. The remix on this EP comes from Parisian artist Hugo LX, whose love for soulful electronic music and jazz are perfectly presented in his remix of "I'll Be Down".

Heist showcases young Dutch talent with its latest release: Perdu. Skye EP includes three varied originals and a rave anthem made by none other than the fun-loving Ozzie DJ Boring. The A side kicks off with "Jane's World" and is the track that made the label fall in love with this EP. It's a worldly tinged house monster, filled with harmonized drum rolls, a counting Frenchman and a funky arpeggio for good measure. The three originals are quite introverted and modest; DJ Boring's remix is anything but that. His version of "Jane's World" is all about ravey leads, powerful percussion and huge breakdowns.

Rounding up five years of Heist Recordings also means the label are releasing the fifth version of their Roundup. Part IV (HEIST 029LP, 2018) was full of highlights, with Fouk remixing Nachtbraker's anthem "Hamdi" and Alma Negra going all tribal on Nebraska's "Big Plate Chicken". For Part V, Heist displays a lot of new faces that made the label in the past year, bringing a fresh set of combinations and a couple of really nice revisions of the tracks. First up is Detroit Swindle's take on Heist's latest signing, Hugo Mari. They chose to remix "Change Ur Ways", beefing up the dreamy original. They focus on a simple but effective grainy groove and added a twist on the bass to give a more "warehouse" feel to it and play around with the lovely detuned keys and vocal chops of the original to great effect. Alma Negra show you just how loose their limbs are with a Rhodes-filled version of Kassian's acid surprise "Bad Habit", while the full B side is dedicated to Pitto's personal take on Adryiano's classic house track, "Me And You And Her". His version takes the track into a new territory that lies somewhere between Balearic and dreamhouse -- whatever it is, it's got a lovely vibe where the vocal is complemented by airy pads and a touch of acid. Kassian on their turn, have done a great job on taking Pitto's "Treat Me Like A Fool" into 4x4 house territory. They've opted for a sub-heavy club track where reverbed hits and the vocal take turns over a solid house groove. Next up is Adryiano. He's picked Detroit Swindle's moody-but-heavy album track "Cut U Loose" and does what he does best: a steady and nicely distorted, filtered house groove that packs quite a punch. The final track of this compilation really is a great pair of artists: Hugo Mari and Alma Negra. Hugo takes the tropical warmth of "This Is The Place" and adds a subtle punch with a smart percussion loop and some added pressure on the low end. So there you go. Another year, another Roundup. 180 gram vinyl.

Kassian is the brainchild of Joe Danvers-McCabe (Danvers) and Warren Cummings (Warren Xclnce). Both are regulars in the underground and wider-reaching London scenes, and the whole EP breathes soul and funk with that dance floor punch you've come to expect from Heist. The Premise EP delivers three originals, each with a hint of soulful, old-school New York house, but with a fresh style and unique character. Finishing the EP is an eccentric and vibey DJ Nature remix. 180 gram pressing, limited full cover.

Alma Negra are back with their new Conversation EP. After releasing Endless Summer EP (HEIST 024EP, 2017), they've been rather busy. They're back on Heist here with three new tracks, supported by an Awanto 3 remix. "Conversation" is a beast of a track; it sits somewhere between a live African drum track, percussive techno and moody Midwest electronics while a relentless kick drum keeps the energy on a haunting level. "This Is The Place" shows a different side of house with Alma's love for dreamy deep house. Finally, "From The Heart" navigates a smart vocal loop topped with strings.

Adding another Dutchie to Heist Recordings' list of exquisite producers, the label presents Pitto. The Late Night Studio Moves is one of varied styles, where Pitto's inspiration from African music, jazzy and soulful samples becomes evident. He finds his "funk" in repetition, clever sample combinations, and combining electronic and live elements in the most organic way. "Late Night Studio Moves" finds its basic groove in an African percussive loop. The track slowly adds elements, chopped African chants and piercing synth hits. The Mole chose to remix this track and he turned it completely upside down, both in vibe and tempo.

Double LP version. 180 gram vinyl. Detroit Swindle present High Life, their second studio album on the duo's own Heist Recordings. The heart of the album was recorded over a three-week period at their Amsterdam studio in March 2017, and the release will coincide with the fifth anniversary of the label. Since forming in 2011, the Dutch duo have carved a unique place for themselves in the scene. Their sound -- which merges references from multiple decades into one smooth aesthetic -- quickly rose to popularity for its careful blend of soul and rhythm, taking cues from their passion for obscure records, with influences ranging from house and funk to Afrobeat and soul. Dynamic live shows and DJ sets afford them a packed touring schedule across the globe, whilst their label Heist Recordings is credited with consistently breaking new artists. High Life explores the intersection of live and electronic music, with much of the improvised material left largely untouched to maintain its organic sensibilities. Detroit Swindle describe the album as an "electronic album with a live approach, combining our love for house, ambient and jazzy harmonics, making it a record interesting for the club, as well as a pleasant album to put on at home." High Life explores stripped back soul and groove driven house over ten glistening productions. Featured on the album are a sun-drenched collaboration with British singer/songwriter Tom Misch and a deep workout with the vocals of trained gospel singer turned house aficionado Seven Davis Jr. on "Flavourism" and Lorenz Rhode who accompanies the duo for their live shows, features on the infectious melodies of "High Life". "Call Of The Wild" incorporates none other than Dutch nine-piece brass band Jungle By Night.

2018 marks Heist Recordings' first step into album territory, releasing the sophomore album High Life from Detroit Swindle (HEIST 001CD/LP). This single features the album cut "Flavourism" with vocals from Seven Davis Jr. Here, the single is presented with remixes by the amazing Pépé Bradock and Boston-to-NYC house duo John Barera & Will Martin. "Flavourism" is as much a throwback track to classic Detroit Swindle territory, as it is a look into their contemporary view on soulful deep house. The vibe is set by Seven Davis Jr.'s distinctive vocals, accompanied by warm "side-chained" pads and a rubbery live synth-bassline.

First full artist EP of 2018 on Heist Recordings. "Me And You And Her" is about as classic as a house track can be -- it's got a sweet, repetitive vocal loop, some semi-grainy but groovy percussion, and a simple piano hook. "Move It, Move It" moves straight into old-school Chicago territory with a raw AF acid bassline. Chicago-bred Jamie 3:26 gives the track a nice old school twist. "Fashion Country Girl" is Adryiano's dystopian view of a world where Dolly Parton gets mangled through an overdrive, then gets distorted, crushed, mangled, deleted, re-added in 8-bit and then crushed again.

Listen to this if you want to hear 2017's best tracks on Heist Recordings by Detroit Swindle, Alma Negra, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Nebraska, and Parker Madicine in one big remix package. The Roundup Part IV marks the end of year four of Heist Recordings and it might be their most varied release yet with some serious Afro funk from Switzerland, electronic soul from Italy, proper old school deep house from the UK, and some Dutch guys adding a bit of swing to the package. For those unfamiliar with the label's annual concept release, The Roundup is a release where each artist that has released in the year gets remixed by another Heist artist from that same year. The label put all the names in a big hat, and draw straws. The result: six different remixes from six of the most intriguing original tracks of the year. Fouk had the honor to rework one of the most euphoric tracks ever to come out on Heist Recordings and certainly one of Nachtbraker's most party-oriented tracks ever: "Hamdi". They flipped the original into a Rhodes-y Afro-tinged jam filled with lovely bleeps, FX, and some great work on the keys. The Detroit Swindle remix of Parker Madicine's "Heartbreaker" is just as dreamy as it is driving, making full use of their synth-cave with an ever-evolving Moog bassline and some great pads on the Arp Odyssey. Alma Negra's "Blacksoul" remix of Nebraska's "Big Plate Chicken" takes the full B side and rightly so. The African drums and chants along with the looped sampling of the original's bleeps give a great groove, but the track really comes alive when the bassline kicks in. The second 12" gives room for Nachtbraker's "Swing" mix of "Can't Hold It" where he lets loose a trippy, sample heavy track with a dustier ambience than your grandmother's living room. Turn it over and you'll find Parker Madicine jazzing up "Afrorleans" and Nebraska throwing in a classic deep house touch on his remix for Fouk. All and all, this is a greatly diverse, sexy, and club-ready package. 180 gram vinyl.

Nebraska's Metaphor To The Floor EP lead track "Affirmation" possesses a subtle build up and release of energy, looping vocals, and dramatic chords. "Aglio e Olio" is a simple yet tasty Italian dish with of just five ingredients -- a great funk/house crossover appeal. Londoner Laurence Guy provides his version of "Aglio e Olio", a dreamier excursion with filtered pads, acid-y licks, and plenty low-end to get you movin'. Nebraska turns the energy up with "Big Plate Chicken", the sort of track you'd imagine Omar S. producing if he would be just a bit whiter, and a bit more British.

Nachtbraker pressed record, San Proper got his inner Mick Jagger on, and behold: "Misses, Madame, Mademoiselle", an up-tempo disco groove with Nachtbraker's touch of loose arrangement, and San Proper's amazing vocals. Producer duo Session Victim re-interpreted it, giving it a great dreamy-but-groovy twist, adding pads and shuffling hi-hats. "Hamdi" is Nachtbraker's most euphoric track to date. With chopped vocals and a teasing build-up, the track breaks down into a lovely chant, adding energy with every bar. The alternate version is an excursion into 808 booty territory, using different chops, alienating loops, and yes, even a siren.

The title track is mad of warm subs, galloping hi-hats, and an exotic synth loop that'll get stuck in your head for hours and hours. "Just Not Norma" goes on in a similar manner, built around a few simple keys, with the lovely work of Mark De Clive-Lowe. "Tamarindus Hollandicus" evolves around a bell-like percussion loop and a roaring Moog bass. Willie Burns gets all dark and trippy on his excursion into electro territory. Machinegun-like claps and haunting strings accompany the breakbeat-not-breakbeat and ruthless bassline.

Fouk are back on Heist Recordings with their With Lasers EP. Their new taste for grit and the heavier side of funk is most evident on the opener "F3000", where a thunderous arpeggio is supported by distorted drums and lush synth stabs. "With Lasers" is a classic Fouk track, combining a lovely walking disco bassline and their signature drum programming with, well, lasers. "See You On The Other Side" carefully blends guitar licks, Rhodes-y chords, and vocal chops into a lovely groove. Swedish synth nerds Mount Liberation Unlimited ran with it and transformed it into a dreamy Pepe Bradock-goes-Balearic track.

Alma Negra, four guys with roots in Portugal, Cabo Verde, Italy, and Spain, hailing from Switzerland, present an African influenced EP. "Afrorleans" is a track with Fela's footprint all over it -- a lovely Rhodes jam over a classic Afrobeat, subtly supported by sparse electronic percussion. "Luanda Dub" is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional lamento style from Luanda -- it's a gloomy techno workout with killer bottom end, trippy guitars, spacey vocals, and tribal percussion. "Endless Summer" leans heavy on Rhodes keys, filtered wah-wahs, and African chants. Soulphiction's adds some serious grunts with percussion and a killer bassline.

Milan based Parker Madicine's Voices & Drums EP, with Byron The Aquarius delivering a great jazzy remix. "Heartbreaker" lays down a dreamy but heavy groove, arpeggiating until the airy pads make room for a looser-than-loose groove. "Zawinul" starts in the same manner, rough kick, loose and degraded hi-hats, and dreamy Rhodes chords. The tracks builds with lovely brassy hits and arps. "Placebo" is the most stripped back but high-tempo track, where an airy and delayed bassline does most of the work. Byron The Aquarius reworks "Placebo", flipping the contemplative original into a feel-good showcase of harmonizing melodies.
