Hot on the heels of the flesh searing sunburning inducing Sound Pellegrino debut, young German miracle worker Matthias Zimmermann follows up his “Isla Dub” EP with a massive sequel of sorts – the dreamy yet immensely vibrant and energetic dancefloor powder keg known as the “Oasis Dub EP”. Matthias contributes two original tracks for this release, “George” and “Maria” (A cryptic reference to surreal alien battling SNES roleplaying game Earthbound?) and both carry on his reputation as one of the strongest new voices in contemporary dance music, garnering big support from Boys Noize, Surkin, Digitalism, Annie Mac, Tom Trago, Martyn and tons more.

“George” starts off with what could well be a cacophony of skipping CD players in a tropical discount electronics shop somewhere by the shoreline, but quickly swells up with a balooning bass line, wind carried flute and perfectly places bongo lines breathing a workout inducing vitality into the track that pushes it all the way to a windswept dreamy finale. Beach party sunset anthem 2012? Maybe.

Buy the “Oasis Dub EP” from Amazon, Beatport, Boomkat, iTunes or Juno. Also, you can listen to the EP on Spotify.

Polish techy duo Viadrina started out last year releasing much acclaimed “Bodymind” EP with us right here at Discobelle Records and then continued with a steady output of high class releases on labels such as Klasse Recordings. Mateusz & Konrad continue into 2012 and now they show us that they have a pop sensibility too with this sugarcoated smooth bootleg edit of Christina Aguileras 1999 worldwide smash hit single “Genie In A Bottle”.

We’re releasing this today and it’s such a huge EP from Stockholm producer Marcus Price. Buy it on Beatport, Boomkat, iTunes or Juno, !

Support already from Crookers, Brodinski, Tony Senghore, Gina Turner, Neoteric, Brenmar, Swick, Savage Skulls, Bag Raiders, Don Rimini, J-Wow of Buraka Som Sistema, Voltron, Cedaa, Deebs, Feadz, Brent Tactic etc.

After honing over a decade of production skills and winning two Swedish grammys, it’s safe to say Scandinavia’s Marcus Price has carved out his own untouchable genre. Piecing together trace elements of skweee, juke, ghettotech, booty bass and house, his “Continental Skank” EP on Discobelle Records is a Night Of The Living Dead amalgamation of genres that twitches and springs to life and immediately starts shaking ass on the dancefloor when you hit play. Shocking, strange but suprisingly seductive? Either way, we’re excited to present four original productions as well as a next-level Richelle remix from our Pelican Fly alumni.

“Continental Skank” kicks off sounding like a piece of razor wire getting tightened in a vise – it oozes a tight, high strung kind of organ grinder sleaziness fit for back alleys of industrial neighbourhoods, horse meat manufacturing plants, and stumbling off a plane arriving in Tokyo, too drunk to see straight. Backed up with a horn line that sounds like a cascade of hallucinogenic fireworks shooting into carnivale, it’s probably the most intense breakfast-food themed dance track in the history of the planet.

“Hector Riddim” begins as a single wailing electrical guitar which gradually travels over a minefield of ratcheted up drum programming, loading gun clacks and slightly rusty, Scandinavian government airhorns reserved for warning the population about airstrikes. It’s reverberated bass rumble pushes it somewhere between saavy tech-house and unrestrained Miami booty bass.

Meanwhile, “Commercial” gets aggressive on a “white static interrupted TV signal” tip, darting in and out of conflicting rhythms, going from dub reggae to space aged E-Funk to pinging 808s reverberating in your eardrums. If you could bottle attention deficit disorder into a delicious tasting beverage, it’d be something like this.

“Panty Drop” begins as a Digital Undergroundesque hip hop outro and throws a flurry of assaulting toms and escalating arpeggios together, like an extra cut from Dre’s “2001″ found its way into a space capsule and came back to earth a few decades later on a glowing piece of translucent vinyl with some apocalyptic chicken scratch scrawled on it.

But the Richelle Remix of “Continental Skank” threatens to uproot the whole release; a colossal two-step anthem hooked up to an IV of codeine laced purple cough syrup, it embodies everything about Pelican Fly that we love, bridging influences of Cybotron’s endlessly upwards scaling “Clear” and Missy Elliot’s Southern influenced “Get Low”. Part of the power of Richelle’s version is the way it utilizes empty space to powerful effect- whether it’s the percolating, bubbling tar bubbles of bass that swim up to the surface, or the barely there guttural grunts playing underneath ominous piano keys, this is a post-apocalyptic futuristic vision of the potential beats that Young Jeezy will be rapping on in five years if there’s any justice in the Universe.

Toronto based Meech is a member of the Discobelle Records family and he just dropped the spectacular “I Want EP” on our friendly neighbors in Demento Mori.

Last week he curated the Weekend Selector mix series for premier blog Earmilk, and they also posted this interview.

Here’s how they describe the mix:

“The weekend opens up with jaunty bongos laid atop a casual deep house groove via Jens Bond only to carry on to a moving soul performance by fellow beatniks Prince Club and a tribute to the recently passed Loleatta Holloway. Stacking lines of cultured percussion the entire mix is polished with a lush coat of foreign drum hits and imported one shots. The tape reaches a high note when Meech cues up the original mix of “I Want”, and rightly so. The track pulls out a clean set of piano keys to satiate a thirst for classic house luxury. Elegance is what this gentlemen stands for and as the minutes continue to run down, Meech serves up more enticing dishes like David Keno’s full course bassline in “Wait for More”, an unforgiving spicey remix by Kenny Dope, and the grubby leftovers of the legendary Green Velvet’s collaboration with Kid Sister. Overall it cuts out to be a filling mixtape, with just the right zest to bring out a craving for conversating and of course the mood to get down and boog.”
