“To promote the release of the Nouveau Yorican single “Boriqua” (including remixes by Douster, Harvard Bass and Sandro Silva) on Sound Pellegrino on December 1st, Gina Turner (half of Nouveau Yorican, the other half being Laidback Luke) cooked up this muy caliente house mix…”

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.

Steve Angello – Tivoli (RAPH Africa Remix)

Martin — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:39:40 +0000

After posting the superb Raph summer mix last week, we can now give you a break off track from the mix which is his very own “Africa” remix of the track “Tivoli” by Swedish superstar dj/producer Steve Angello.

“2009. RAPH, the choosen one, the sacred child from Liege’s Tibet, appeared. The 21 years-old boy already earned the trust and respect of his elders the great sages from Forma.T and Partyharders, through which he enchained the parties alongside masters like the great Laidback Luke or also the Atlanta rap dealer lover Brodinski. Springtime he released 2 mixtapes which were quickly approved by Solo, Riva Starr, Harvard Bass but also Teki Latex, the guru of Sound Pellegrino, small-brother label of Institubes. There are many stories that show his potential and his multiple influences…Keep an eye on this young disciple before he exceeds his masters. (original french version by Teki Latex)”

Momma’s Boy

Martin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:02:50 +0000

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).

Orgasmic and I had an argument about whether “Give It Up” should be the A-side or not, but things like that don’t really matter anymore with digital releases, do they? Anyway I believe “Give It Up” is the hit of the EP. Banging yet subtle, evil yet pointing towards the direction of “a fun jam”, this track is like a sprinkle of hagelslag on an already delicious piece of toast in the middle of a well-furnished musical Dutch breakfast.

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.
