Drop The Lime’s upcoming single “Hot As Hell” (to be released in January 2011) truly lives up to is name, this is some hot bassfilled club music mixed up with rockabilly for you to feast your ears on. Nouveau Yorican AKA Dutch superstar producer/dj Laidback Luke and NYC production/dj genius Gina Turner gives the track a techhousey remix treatment and we’re left dancing in their dust.

Boriqua

Martin — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:18:57 +0000

The Nouveau Yorican (brainchild of Gina Turner & Laidback Luke) single “Boriqua” (already garnered support from the likes of Boys Noize, Sinden, Worthy, Felix Cartal and Matt Walsh etc.) is released next week by the lovely fellas over at Sound Pellegrino and we have the Harvard Bass remix of “Boriqua” for your pleasure. This is what Teki had to say about the remix:

“The Harvard Bass version brings back sweaty disco images from our childhood through a symphony of synthetic strings of life, swiftly mutating into a massive electro house banger”.

The name Nouveau Yorican conjures up visions of dance music truthful to the patterns and grooves of classic house, but done with the technology and sounds of today, in the same way that the Art Nouveau movement used modern materials to forge classic and natural shapes.

Nouveau Yorican is the brainchild of two major players in today’s house scene: the charismatic Gina Turner (also half of powerful DJ duo Staccato) co-produces the sounds and lays down slick vocals while godfather of modern Dutch scene Laidback Luke lends a hand, assuming the role of the quintessential “man in the shadows”. For both of them, this is a small step away from their usual territory towards more jacking sounds reminiscent of the best of golden era Chicago House, with a twist of latin-flavored New York stomp and backed by the discreet presence of the almighty Dutch artillery. A modern take on New York’s Puerto Rican artistic identity seen through the eyes and ears of an asian Dutch house virtuoso and a half-sicilian/half-latino part-time NYC, part-time LA resident? This is our version of the Puerto Rican house renaissance.

“Boriqua“ ties in to the Sound Pellegrino collection through a common bond to the great tradition of jacking house. “In the Beginning there was Jack, and Jack had a groove”, that groove is the common ground for a lot of today’s electronic artists no matter what direction they chose to take of whatever micro-genre they claim to represent. Combining synth stabs with elegant retro vibes, “Boriqua“ will please those in search of the most purist Chicago sound while clearly having the sonic firepower and modern crisp production it takes to find its way into every major DJ’s playlist. Plus Gina’s sensual spanish vocals will have all the fly ladies dig in their closet for that old “butter pecan” Wu Tang tee shirt.

Remixing “Boriqua“ is a challenging exercise, which Sound Pellegrino alumni Douster, Sandro Silva and Harvard Bass all executed brilliantly, each putting forward a different aspect of the track and merging it with their world. Douster manages to keep it sexy and minimal while taking it to the underground caves where the warp zone between Lyon and Buenos Aires is hidden, and where dinosaurs carry guns like in Jurassic Park IV. Sandro Silva unleashes the heavy dutch lazerfest on top of a groovy rickety carnival beat (expect more Sound Pellegrino action from Sandro in the near future). The Harvard Bass version brings back sweaty disco images from our childhood through a symphony of synthetic strings of life, swiftly mutating into a massive electro house banger. A little something for everyone, and lots of Boriqua love.

Teki Latex.

What Is Guru

I hope no one missed out on that the new Renaissance Man EP “What Is Guru/Aloha” is out on Sound Pellegrino (if you been living under a rock, go get it here).

Here is what Teki wrote in the promotext for the showcase night in Paris this Friday with Renaissance Man, Laidback Luke and Teki Latex:

“It doesn’t take an expert to notice that, in the last few months, a new musical family has built itself on the ruins of loud big beat-like fidget and overly distorted washing machine-electro.
Inspired by the “less is more” ethics of minimal techno as much as the DIY/”sample-anything-as-long-as-it’s-got-attitude” philosophy of hip-hop, this new unnamed form of groovy and refreshing house music is rising and Sound Pellegrino is proud to be at the forefront of such an exciting phenomenon.

In the wake of their acclaimed Dubsided hit EP “Spraycan”, with Kitsune and Deadfish releases already buzzing and the whole dance music world wanting a piece of them in 2009, Finnish duo Renaissance Man deliver a massive EP for Sound Pellegrino which promises to catch the ear of an insanely wide spectrum of audiences, confirming their status of most exciting new house act of the year.

It is quite hard to resist the catchiness of the tongue-in-cheek vocal sample in “What Is Guru”, and even your mother will soon ask you to burn her a CD of “that Krishna song” you play all the time. But once the novelty’s gone, the thing that makes “What Is Guru” an ultimate club hit is the impeccable and original production, serving a groove reminiscent of Akufen’s early radio-chopping work. It’s so good that Riva Starr, a fan of the early demo version of the original, and one of artists who helped define this new sound we keep writing about, made us the honor to provide an infectious percussive remix which will prove itself more than useful for DJs who aren’t feeling the whole vocal/spiritual breakdown thing. “Aloha” and its accompanying dub are equally as lethal on dancefloors, perpetuating the tradition of tribal, menacing post-Baltimore Sound Pellegrino riddims installed by Zombie Disco Squad’s “Eurovision”.

We said we weren’t gonna give it a name, but if “sparse house music with conceptual samples” is an army, then Renaissance Man are the most devoted soldiers who become generals in the middle of the movie.

Teki”
