SRNDS 007CD
|
With his debut album Dawn, the Finnish producer Roberto Rodriguez aka Manolo presents the perfect soundtrack for summer. The album offers an über-abundance of lush, classy, yet classic, positive real house grooves and songs in a super-slick production that lets the sun shine through every single note. Influenced by the Detroit Black Music movement and the European Summer of Love on Ibiza, Dawn is just the perfect "classic" modern house album. Highlights include the vocal tracks, "Tell Me" featuring Kholi, "Lies" featuring Max C. and "Song For You" featuring Devon Dunaway.

SRNDS 006EP

Roberto Rodriguez's music is like a waterfall of house -- organic, constantly running, sparkling and fresh. Imagine Roxy Music on a dancefloor in northern Italy, sometime in the late '80s and Joe Smooth's "Promised Land." The original version of "Tell Me (feat. Kholi)" is taken from the album, Dawn. Remix by Jacques Renault.

Volta Cab has made quite an impact on the nu disco/deep house scene. Approaching music in an open way, he does not restrict himself to a certain genre, catching the Zeitgeist. On Serenades, Volta Cab takes us back to 1992 with a 4-tracker called House Of The Rising Fire. All of the tracks are heavily influenced by rave and house soundscapes of the early '90s. Think of early Prodigy, Altern8, Rachel Wallace and Baby D, combined with a modern nu disco twist.

Portuguese duo Johnwaynes have had a fruitful career so far with releases on labels like Brique Rouge and Compost. Now they appear on Serenades, with this trippy and inspired vocal house track "Never Enough." Featuring the soulful vocal talents of Stee Downes, the team have cooked up a real hit in the making in two distinct versions. The original keeps things low-down and dirty, while the "Raw Mix" pushes the story further with a more rave-y vibe and extended tripped-out moments.
