The French maestro Teki Latex just sent us a track from the upcoming release on his fine imprint Sound Pellegrino. You’ve all heard of Mikix The Cat which is the more in your face alter ego of Momma’s Boy AKA Mike Gnacadja. Now we got the flip side track “Give It Up” from his new EP which is one fine piece of music and it will no doubt get tons of plays. Here’s the lodown courtesy of Teki:

“…While unleashing his hard bass-driven rave bursts as Mikix for Luca’s label Trouble & Bass, Mike kept his lighter, more playful side away from the public ear, but not from the Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team’s hard drives. Influenced by the sparse sounds of the house music of Now, as well as a rightful return to the African rythms of his Beninese roots, channelled by his move from Paris to Berlin, a new face of Mike Gnacadja was born, we decided to name it Momma’s Boy (after the restaurant in Curb Your Enthusiasm).

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.

San Diego producer Harvard Bass provides us with the next release on Sound Pellegrino (Tekis and Orgasmics label which looks to be a major player in 2009), his “Caked/81″ EP will be out on May 18th and comes backed with this remix from one of our favorites at the moment. Finnish duo Renaissance Man gives us yet another one of their stunning remixes with their take on flip side track “81″, continuing with their own jacking style and you just have to love that bouncy Eastern European style accordion. (Thanks to Curb Crawlers)

London duo Zombie Disco Squad are one of the acts you should be looking out for in 2009 since they’ll surely be doing it big with a slew of releases on a few choice labels. The single “Esperanto/Eurovision” is the first release on the newly founded Sound Pellegrino imprint and it’s a jacking techhousey baile funk/b-more bomb.

Mr Fairtilizer with a tip on a new mix from Teki Latex and DJ Orgasmic to promote fresh new label Sound Pellegrino. The first release is coming from our favorite London blokes – Zombie Disco Squad. Here’s some info on the label from Teki:

“Sound Pellegrino’s sonic identity is a paradox. When I play the current house and techno music that I like to my French “banging electro” friends they think it’s minimal. When I play it to minimal DJs they think it bangs too hard. We love hard stuff when it’s creative and groovy, and we love minimalist music when it’s not boring nore serious. The first two Sound Pellegrino releases totally embody that state of mind.”

And some info on that first release which looks to be straight fire:

“Zombie Disco Squad are two London blokes with a passion for forest grooves and tribal drums as well as profound respect for pure house music and classy techno. In-between releases for two of the most acclaimed electronic music labels of today (Claude Von Stroke’s Dirtybird and Jesse Rose’s Made To Play) they made us the honor to inaugurate Sound Pellegrino with the release of their single “Esperanto/Eurovision”. The two Baile House bangers merge South American accordions with mini B-more rythms made playable at Panorama Bar. With Mowgli providing an eerie horror score take on “Eurovision” and Solo remixing “Esperanto” into a deep techno sure shot, we could easily tell you this release represents House music’s cultural diversity at its best–but frankly, who cares about the whole “world music” shtick anyway? These four bangers will rock any club and it’s all that matters.”

Forthcoming release is coming from Argentina’s French expat Douster with “Freak Mode/For Weirdos Only”, re-inventing jacking house into a half intimate-half frenetic wonky banjo ride.
