PREORDER
RELEASE DATE: 1/17/2025
ReKaB drops another strong four-track EP, rooted firmly in the Detroit sound with a nod to the soulful techno styles that shaped the UK underground in the '90s. His second EP for Cologne's YORE Records. The production, as always, is spot on -- sharp, detailed, and endlessly listenable. While the tracks carry the weight of tradition, they're not stuck in it. There's a fresh, forward-facing energy here that keeps things exciting. "My Inspiration" opens with classic metallic strings and a tight, robotic square bass that locks you in straight away. Just when you think you know where it's going, the vocal drops -- a bold touch that shifts the track into more human territory, giving it an emotional pull without losing its edge. "Soul Brother" is a late-night cruiser. Rhodes chords, rolling bass, and lush strings set the scene for a proper cityscape vibe. It's smooth, it's warm, and it glides effortlessly, all while keeping enough groove to move. "Future Times" kicks things up a gear with more tempo and bite. Acidic basslines and a writhing lead sit alongside deep chords, making it equal parts hypnotic and urgent. It's the kind of track that turns heads in the club -- direct and effective without being predictable. Wrapping it up, "Random Fragments" pulls things back into a more reflective, dubby space. The layers are rich but restrained, with chirps and analogue echoes drifting through a hazy atmosphere. It's introspective but not sleepy, the perfect comedown to round off the EP. ReKaB's consistency is something else -- each release feels like it's levelling up, pushing his sound forward without losing its roots. This EP is no different. It's a tight package of ideas, all executed with precision and style. One for the heads, no question.

YORE 050EP
|
Yore is on something like a roll at the moment. This time, the label returns with a techno EP by ReKaB. It's easy to forget that, at its core, techno hopes for a better future. This new four-track EP of connoisseur-grade repetitive beats from ReKaB (AKA James Baker) reminds Yore of this with a reverent nod to the past and a look forward to a human-centered tomorrow. Tradition is a big part of the ReKaB sound. Classic timbres run through all the tracks, but what James does so well is how he deploys and contrasts the elements. Piano chords layer late-night soul over syncopated bass. Comforting strings and ethereal pads upgrade your consciousness while your body remains rooted by Techno City square waves. Call and response between acid lines and synth patterns feel like the machines interact, whilst the ever-present 909 thump adds the all-important dance floor framework. Throughout the whole EP, ReKaB shows deep knowledge and respect for the art form, proving he is no less than a master of the craft. Limited to 250 copies worldwide.

YORE 049EP
|
Welcome to a revisit of a true historic Chicago classic, originally by Frankie Knuckles, with Tears. The original release of Satoshi Tomiie, Robert Owens, and the godfather of house music, Frankie Knuckles, have all left an impression, and many can still recall reverence where they heard "Tears" for the first time. It's one of these house classics that everybody knows. Chicago's natives Elbert Philips & Andre Espeut contribute what they call "Loving Tribute," which is an homage to the original mix, which is nothing but magic. Andre's vocals create the perfect vibe, teamed up with a classic 303 Acid Dub, Tom Laroye on percussion and Prophet 5 Synthesizer, Shamrock Guitar on lead and rhythm guitar and Evans Tate on soprano sax -- each and every one speaks for itself and creates the atmosphere with high level musicality shining through all the way from beginning to end. Rounded up by remixes by Chicago's Andrew Emil and Grey Gray to solidify this project. Epic Chicago dreams and beyond, which is not to be missed. Only 300 copies limited and strictly no repress.

Chicago house producer Andrew Emil (aka Change Request) joins Andy Vaz's Yore label. House music that comes directly from the source -- that is Chicago, IL. The Nite Dreams release features remixes (called here "Dreamixes") by Emil of one of his own Change Request productions and two by other artists. The three lustrous "Dreamixes" on Emil's Nite Dreams are, put simply, irresistible. Chicago-based music collective Artispure (featuring The Remedy) opens the release with the enticingly swinging "Chicago Underground," its dynamic house groove sprinkled with claps, chunky synth chords, slick hi-hat accents, and soulful vocal interjections. Made over by Emil, the tune's straight-up fabulous. The snappy Change Request production "Sunday's Best" glides breezily on a tropical wave of claps, a skipping house groove, and gentle melodic figures that give the music a nostalgic, even plaintive quality. The closing cut, Emil's soulful treatment of "Sunlight" by native Chicagoan Elbert Phillips and singer Andre Espeut, shows no drop-off. With a snare-popping groove driving the tune and Espeut laying a beautiful vocal across the percolating backdrop, "Sunlight" rivals the other two tracks for quality and appeal. Vaz keeps bringing them strong.

Imagine a held-up-in-traffic Wayne Shorter arriving late to a Weather Report studio session and Joe Zawinul, Victor Bailey, and Omar Hakim filling in the time by jamming on a grooving house cut. Had that happened, it might have sounded a little bit like "It Never Stops," one of two ultra-fresh tracks on Kaidi Tatham's Yore debut. Jazz and house are obviously distinct genres, yet as this irresistible cut makes clear swing is common to both. The other track, the cerebrally titled "One For The Brain," locates itself closer to house music proper but is no less appealing for doing so. Given the jazzy vibe of "It Never Stops," it's fitting that Benji B once deemed Tatham the "Herbie Hancock of the United Kingdom." Regarded as one of the originators of the Broken Beat sound, the UK-based multi-instrumentalist has worked with many an artist, from Bugz In The Attic and The Herbaliser to DJ Jazzy Jeff, and his session work credits list Slum Village, Amy Winehouse, Soul II Soul, and others. His own discography includes EPs and releases for labels such as 2000 Black, First World Records, Theo Parrish's Sound Signature, Eglo Records, and now, of course, Yore. "It Never Stops" rolls in on a wave of silky synthesizer textures and percolating precision with a tight, funky groove that instantly pulls you into its velvety world. Triangles, electric bass, and clavinet add collective radiance to the material as the tune struts its way into your psyche. As if to make the jazz connection even more explicit, Tatham works an acoustic piano solo into the cut's second half before shifting focus back to the groove for the coda. "One for the Brain," by comparison, digs into its chugging house pulse with fervor whilst also sweetening the arrangement with painterly synth flourishes. This one charges with breathless determination and like "It Never Stops" nods in jazz's direction with the inclusion of a freewheeling piano solo. Every minute and second on this strictly limited 12" release seems meaningful.

The second Glenn Davis 12", a year on from his last Yore twelve-inch Soul On My Side. Dublin-based DJ and producer Glenn Davis returns with its sequel, the as-stellar Better Daze EP. The EP's melodic, soulful sound. The dynamic title cut locks in instantly with a pumping kick drum and builds layer by layer thereafter. Percussion, hi-hats, electric piano chords, and synthesizers add to the thrust of the production as it grows ever more urgent. As the track advances, Davis drapes a jazzy keyboard solo across the booming base as the swing swells to a near-ecstatic level. "Your Time" rounds out the A-side with a cut that suggests pure energy at its outset before quickly morphing into a sleek house strut. With percussion included and late-night synth atmospherics folded in, the breezy tune starts to sound like something you'd hear banging out on the dancefloor that's surrounding you. On the flip, Davis brings the skipping house groove of "Inner Monologue" to a fever while. Moody chords, hand drums, and a snappy groove set the scene. The female vocalist's soulful delivery and vibes-like earworm that make the tune the standout it is. Think of a dark room and a red light bulb and house music forever and a day.

With How We Groove EP, Lello Di Franco (L.D.F.) and Brian Garrett (Javonntte) pair up for a prototypical Yore release, a high-quality affair that's natural clubby yet also artful. Di Franco's an Italian DJ and producer who's based in Naples and whose career began in the early '90s; Garrett, on the other hand, hails from Detroit and has been creating material for almost as long. Their respective output locates itself solidly in house and techno but extends into soul, funk, and jazz areas too. Said gravitations aren't mere flirtations either; Garrett's interest in jazz began in high school, and when he was fifteen or so the aspiring musician even had a month's worth of lessons in the mid-80s with -- wait for it -- Miles Davis (Garrett's mom apparently had connections). Associations with Aretha Franklin, Blake Baxter, and others surface in his history -- but that's for another time. All three tracks qualify as dance productions but satisfy equally well on pure listening grounds. While a strong '80s vibe initially oozes from "Believe" in the electronic drum fills that get it moving, the cut quickly settles into a light-speed groove that percolates with single-minded determination. The richly detailed arrangement shape-shifts rapidly: at one moment, syncopated piano chords give the track a classic house feel; at another synthesizer flourishes and bass pulses lend it a sleek, sci-fi quality as the material thrusts breathlessly forward. The less frenetic "From Day to Night" is earthier and funkier though no less artful. As a punchy bottom end establishes an infectious house vibe (with a bit of jazz swing also in the mix), see-sawing vocal elements and bubbly synthesizer touches elevate the track to a headier "listening" realm. At first it seems as if the title track might venture into gospel territory, what with organ and piano dominating the intro, but soon enough the tune brands itself as a swaggering house cut, albeit one replete with funky drop-outs and trippy vocal effects. No matter how adventurous and experimental the material gets, pumping bass drums and swishing pulses ensure the tracks never lose their identity as floor-fillers.

Gatefold double LP version. Andy Vaz returns with his third full-length album on his own Yore label. Due to Vaz's half-Indian roots, he is lucky enough to own a beach house just outside of Mangaluru in the South Indian state of Karnataka. This is where most of House Warming was written, over a period of six months. In this totally isolated, hidden, entirely tourist-free spot, which had become Vaz's second home in the years before the album's creation, the artist found himself outside of the usual routines of Western life and in a position to simply sit down and create. The result is House Warming. As the title suggests, it's house, without a doubt -- but in the form of an album that's thoughtfully crafted from beginning to end. This is house music in all its aspects: the soulful, the deep, and the raw; or, if you prefer, deep house, acid house, and garage/vocal house. The joints range through downtempo, elektro, and even hip hop beats. This may sound old-school, and in spirit, it may be; it was produced entirely with analog synths and the Roland series -- from 808, 909, 505, and 606 to the original 303 -- but in a modern studio environment. Andy Vaz has been around long enough to know how to program his very personal ideas into the music, without denying influences from Detroit, Chicago, and New Jersey, to create something that goes further than a simple reflection of the past. "Deep" isn't a genre, it's a feeling. A warm feeling most of all. You're invited to find it here. Features contributions from Eva Soul and Niko Marks.

Japanese producer and DJ Kez YM's "Extended Sunset" bolts from the gate with a steamy house pulse that oozes soul and splendor, with luscious synth chords and funky basslines adding significantly to the music's allure. Much as he's done in the past, Kez YM threads crowd noises into "Moon Light Leaves" to bolster its party spirit and club feel, and works vocal accents and acid-techno boogie into its charging house pulse. The roaring throb of "Weekend" pushes the EP's hard-charging vibe to an even higher level; feverish dancefloor monster "Fixer" is powered by South American rhythms, percussion, and horns.

On Yore's 31st release, label-owner Andy Vaz delivers straight from the backyards of his Cologne-based Deutztroit Studios to the streets of Detroit, collaborating with Niko Marks (Detroit-based keyboardist, singer, and producer) on the A1 track: a warm, deep and soulful house anthem with a perfect dancefloor-friendly summer vibe. A2. features a remix of Andy Vaz classic house hit: "Hurry, Hurry" by Malik Alston. On B1 the mood shifts drastically with a very trippy, hip-hop-ish acid house-type masterpiece, with a strong, hypnotic and trippy feel. Old school acid jazz-influenced house and a sure guarantee for messing with your brain.

Yore presents a 12" from the Edinburgh-based outfit 2DeepSoul, which counts Brad Peterson and Rai Scott as its members. The two bring a wealth of experience to the project. "Intrinsic" spotlights a breezily swinging house groove, synth treatments that lend the music a dreamily atmospheric quality, a bass pulse lightly tinged with acid flavor, and a main synth melody that warbles like some lazer beamed in from some distant galaxy. "Flow Theory" derives its impetus from a chugging house groove and the aforementioned organ solo, and "Power" brings the duo's dreamier side to the forefront in the tune's enveloping production and warm, deep house vibe.

Part two of the remix 7" series Straight Vacationing (YORE 028CD/LP). Album tracks getting a re-work are: "Detroit in Me" remixed by Patrice Scott and "Stubnitz" remixed by Memory Foundation. Making good on the Detroit connection, Scott amplifies the tune's Motor City vibe with lavish helpings of synthesizers, claps, and hi-hats and amps up its hard-swinging acid-funk groove. Memory Foundation's version of "Stubnitz" locks solidly into a tight mechanic-house pulse, which frees up all kinds of room for tenor sax player Andreas Pasternack. Pressed on transparent blue vinyl.
