UM's High 5ives - 30.06.11

I love this music. Let me just say that first of all! And I have for as long as I had pocket money to own it. In the years since it's changed beyond recognition and now the internet serves as ring master for most of my musical exposure, access and more. But, and I'm hoping this isn't just me, we all get a bit jaded by it all.

And that's how I've felt this week, and I suddenly realised I'm doing the very thing I hate - bombarding everyone with links, links and more links, and if I'm honest, a little too often they're pointing people to this blog. So, sorry fellow deep house lovers. With the arrival of the Guest Mix series I may have overdone it these last few weeks? Something I'll fix over the next few weeks by pulling back a little on activity and focusing on the core things that make untitledmusic what it is. Just like this weeks picks of the tunes I'm been enjoying amongst the spam.

UM presents: Andre Detoxx

Hot on the heels of Frank Kruse's guest mix comes Poland's Andre Detoxx, a DJ/Producer I've long been a fan of and am proud to say will feature on one of the forthcoming UM Records releases!

More recently he turned his focus to his own productions, and has rapidly built a name for his deep, drifting and emotive sounds, signing releases to labels such as Disclosure Project, DeepWit Records, Pesto, Tanztone, SoundBar and coming later this year his first EP on my own UM Records (umrecords).

Vinyl Heaven: OFF Recordings

Not so long ago I was able to purchase a pair of second hand Technics 1210's after being without proper decks for about 4 years, and so I've gained a renewed passion for the slices of vinyl we (or at least some of us) grew up on. A time when piracy was as common as worrying about Beatport charts and if your midi mapping was doing everything you want it to!

What I've found is, that if you scratch the surface of the on what seems a digital marketplace you soon find a whole host of labels doing limited, low key vinyl releases, from Baker Street, to Home Audio and one of my personal favourites OFF Recordings. 

To celebrate 2.5 years of and 25 releases Andre Crom's label are unleashing a triple vinyl, double CD and digital compilation with contributions from established OFF acts like Crom and Dawson, Einzelkind, Nima Gorji, Chris Carrier, DJ W!LD, Huxley, Thyladomid or Luca Doobie alongside newer names to the label such as  David August, Tuccillo, Varoslav vs. Werner Niedermeier, Robytek, Alejandro Mosso and more - it's an almighty line up!


Not to mention a club tour all over Europe and beyond. Personally I think it's great to see a label going for it, and really pushing the quality of their sound on vinyl, and triple vinyl at that!

VA - Back To The Raw - OFF Recordings - OFF025
OFF025 - OFF Recordings Compilation by OFF Recordings

After getting deep into classic house in the late 90's, OFF-founder Andre Crom decided to go back to his roots with his own label. So in December 2008 OFF Recordings was born and within 2.5 years became one of the most popular labels for contemporary house music with an old school touch.

While most Berlin-based labels stand for a more minimal/techno-ish sound, OFF has consistently stood for house in its purest shape. Its sound merges elements from jazz, funk, soul, blues, disco and techno with 90's influenced house to create a unique mix, aimed directly at the dance floor.

The labels name “OFF” is all part of the label's philosophy - being open to all kinds of influences, not having flashy artwork, but a reduced and serious presentation. It also stands for an uncompromising focus on the club and dance floor. Step on the floor, lose your mind and get OFF.

OFF have produced vinyl releases for all of their releases to date, demonstrating that there's a market for it, and in fact if recent research in the USA is right, it's a growing market with vinyl sales increasing 14% last year whilst CD sales dropped 20% for the fourth year running.

The guys at OFF told me they saw OFF004 as a break through for the label, especially the DJ W!LD remix, establishing the label as one to watch. Since then releases such as Thyladomid's 'The Voice' with it's awesome vocal sample, and 'Gonna Be Alright' by Martin Dawson and Andre Crom have really taken the world by storm. A personal favourite of Andre's is Chris Carrier remix of 'Snakes' by Luca Doobie and Andre.

So where too from here? Well, the club tour taking in places such as Watergate, Privilege, Cookies (Berlin) and Chaca Chaca (Munich) and promotion of the album aside look out for more great releases and remixes from the likes of Nhan Solo and Daniel Dexter, Ian Pooley, Ekkohaus, Homework, Martin Dawson, Andre Crom.

Fancy getting your hands on the triple vinyl?

UM presents: Frank Kruse

So here we go, the first in the brand new series of guest mixes comes courtesy of Frank Kruse (Germany). Influenced by John Digweed, Timo Maas and Carl Cox he began mixing at the age of 20. Since then he's played across Germnay including on Sunshine Live, the most successful dance music radio station in Germany, developing a deep sound touching on tech house and moodier deep house tracks, as he does here in his UM Guest Mix.

Frank is a driving force in his hometown of Osanbruck, where as a promoter he's behind some of the highest quality parties alongside DJ's such as Santos, Tigerskin, Santé and many more. He's currently working on his debut single too, due out toward the end of 2011.

UM Guest Mix Series

As long-term followers of UM will know I've had a very irregular guest mix series going on and off for a couple of years and have been graced with mixes from LowerCaseSounds, Lost My Dog, Baker Street, Marvin Zeyss, 3am, Artizan Music, Andre Detoxx, Dilby and plenty more!

Becoming a guest mixer is open to anyone and everyone. a chance to get some feedback, show off your taste and keep the world spinning. 

Now before you get all excited and fire me the link to your current mix there's a few things you need to know...

To be chosen as a guest mix your set must be:

EXCLUSIVE to UM for 1 month from the date of posting (that means not appeared anywhere already)
• Be of deep house or tech house music - I'll name and shame you if it's not! I will!
• Between 1 hour and 1.5 hours long and of good quality (sound and technique)
• Come with a full tracklisting

Simple basic rules that'll make life easier for all of us, but wait there's more... to allow me to gauge if they fit the UM concept I'll also be needing:

• A link to listen online (saving me downloading everyone's first)
• A link to download if you're successful
• A press photo of you (600x600 pixels minimum)
• A brief bio on you (100 words or there abouts)
• A list of links where people can check out more (Facebook, Soundcloud etc)


Each week, fortnight or month (depending on how often the mixes come in) I'll showcase a new guest mixer on the blog, UM's page and on the Deep House fans site, meaning over 55,000 people have a chance to hear you play - can't be bad!

Fancy that? Well get in touch with me on Facebook here - and we'll take it from there.

Tell your mates, post the news on and let's get ready to hear some great new mixes right here on the UM Blog!

UM's High 5ives - 16.06.11

Not every week can be full on and glorious, sometime you need the quieter one's to get back on top of your game and focus on the next push! That's been the story of the last week with me catching up on a load of things I needed to sort.

Things are quickly taking shape over at UM Records with the first release now looking like mid-August - I'm looking forward to kicking off the promotional campaign for Marc's EP with remixes from Brian Ffar and Halo Citydeep!

Also been working on a few new features for the blog - you'd be amazed how keen people are to get the publicity but how slowly things move when you're needing something from them. That said hope to have a few planned featured popping up here very soon in amongst the usual ramblings. So, here's what's been entertaining me this last, slow, week:

When I grew up I never wanted to be a pirate

For a long time now I've been working away on a post about music piracy, a balanced approach looking at all sides of the argument, from artists and labels to music lovers and fans and all the way to retail stores, promotion companies and back. It's a slow road and at some point I'll throw up what I've written and just put it out there for debate.

The problem is the further I get into it, the more convinced I am that everyone has just accepted it exists and resigned themselves to it, just doing all they can to prevent it, but from the moment it's out in the public domain (for sale if you're lucky) you've little more than a few hours before it appears on blogs across the world.

Don't get me wrong there's a fiercely active campaign to combat it from certain quarters, and slow, meaningless progress from ISP's/Governments, not to mention the age old argument that it doesn't hurt anyone really. Which I disagree with, with a passion in case you were in any doubt of my standpoint.

Which kind of brings me to the reason for this rant. Last weekend, whilst sorting out music for this weeks UM show and generally arsing around on the net as I do regularly, I got a message from a label I have high regard for. I get a lot of requests to post links on the Deep House fans page, some I do, some I don't, but this was the second request from this label and as the page is all about quality music then it fitted the bill. The last time they been in touch about posting a link I'd asked if they had a promo list and if they would be prepared add me to it, as a way of helping promote them even more - it's a two way street after all! 

The story goes that they don't have a promo list (like many other labels don't and I can appreciate that given the exposure to piracy it can create if you're database isn't made up of people you can trust 100%). Anyway, we agreed that as a thank you I'd be slipped the next promo and we'd all be happy - superb, deal done!

Stay with me here, I know I ramble!
So, early Saturday morning I get another request to post a link. And, because I never give up I remind the fella about our deal. And good to his word we hop onto Skype and over comes the promo - very nice too, thanks! And it's here where my world got turned upside down... why? Because I was asked to swap files I might have in the other direction.

I'm sure plenty of DJ mates do it, and we know there's plenty of 'music lovers' doing it right now, but even by my low moral standards a label owner, who doesn't operate a promo list for presumably piracy concerns, is now asking to benefit from the piracy! 

I was, to put it bluntly, 'fucking shocked'! In turn it threw me into a spin about the feature itself, I mean who am I trying to kid if the problem runs so deep? My polite reply to the request was this "I'm just going to be straight, I don't share files with anyone, not even my wife, too many labels and artists trust me with their music and I'm all about helping it sell. sorry"

To which, to give label owner X his dues he said OK and went about his business. Now, I've um'd and arghh'd about whether to even mention this for a few days now, and well, sod it, it's out there now, off my chest and into your heads.

Is the fight against piracy over as a result, no! Is the feature I'm working on dead? No! But, I've got some serious thinking to do of my own ahead of UM Records' first launch and how we approach promotions!

Keep the world spinning everyone, and buy that tune you diggin!

The Hottest New Deep House Talent - Vol.2

Following on from our Top 5 Hottest New Deep House Talent survey on the Deep House fans page, I've been watching votes tick along for a couple of weeks and thought it was about time I brought you the names that made up numbers 5-10 on the results...

Alvaro Hylander
Labels: Solarish Records, Alma Soul Music, Bsccara, Etoka
Remixed: The Messenger, Cadatta, Jean Jeak, Pablo Fierro, tonkproject
Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/alvaro-hylander 

Alvaro Hylander was born in the south of Spain but now living in Denmark he has 17 years of service in dance music under his belt - so hardly a new comer as such, but certainly a name on the rise thanks in part to a string of classy remixes and his own DeepWit Recordings label.

Labels: Crosstown Rebels, BerMuDa Music
Remixed: DJ T, Damien Lazarus, Jimmy Edgar, Debukas, Simon Baker
Soundcloud: NA

Art Department, aka Kenny Glasgow & Jonny White from Glasgow (UK) or Canada, depending on which source you check out, joined forces in the studio as recently as 2009, when Damian Lazarus called on them to remix Riz MC for his Crosstown Rebels imprint and the relationship has been going ever since.

Art Department - The Drawing Board - CRMCD014 by Crosstown Rebels

Deep Spelle
Labels: Soul Industries, i Records, NewBorn Records, Pesto Music
Remixed: Deep Active Sound, HouseRiders
Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/deep-spelle

Born in France but now living in Canada, Brice Martin-Spelle was inspired by the likes of Ludovic Navarre aka St Germain, Deep Dish and Kevin Yost. Deep Spelle tracks have been remixed by Soul Minority, Alvaro Hylander, Deep Active Sound, Helly Larson and Diego Astaiza in the time since and Brice has also been active as one half of HouseRiders with Jeff Fontaine.

Latest tracks by Deep Spelle

Seraphine
Labels: Loco Records, Brown Eyed Boyz, Ready Mix Records, Witty Tunes, Alma Soul, DeepWit Recordings, Tanztone
Remixed: Alvaro Hylander, Mastercris, Jayden San, Tuxedo, Marcelo Nassi, Steve Lischinsky
Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/seraphine

Seraphine aka Sylwester played his first live set in a small club in his native Poland back in 2008, his early productions, produced alongside Mores and Sebastian Davidson were well received seeing the DJ/Producer record around 50 tracks for 20 different labels since. Seraphine can also be found on Houseradio.pl and Westradio.gr with his "Belvedere Sessions" radio show.


Latest tracks by Seraphine

Speakdeep
Labels: Nervous Records, Irma Records, Spirit Sound Records, Soul Shift Music, Aenaria Music
Remixed: Rusticana Deep Machine, Jimmi Hendrik, Blockhead, Spacebeats
Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/speakdeep

Italian producer Andrea Guazzeroni rounds off this up and coming top 5, and like so many new producers out there that's on all the right sites but information on his is scarce! So, his music will have to do all the talking for him!

UM's High 5ives - 09.06.11

Yes, the smell of sweat and sun tan lotion is starting to rise over Ibiza and so the annual push of new music has begun in earnest. Just a note... while all you northern hemisphere music goers are turning tanning yourselves on sun drenched house spare a thought for these rest of us on the other side of the world slowly turning green - with envy!

There's not much to report out of the usual this week. The new (second hand) Technics 1210's have settled in well, and thanks to the S4 Kontroller fitted seamlessly into the studio - I can't quite explain the joy of being able to mix with vinyl once again, and revive some of the gems that have been lying dormant in my record bags for way too long - I might even share a few of the mixes with you all over the coming weeks! In the meantime, here's this weeks picks of the music I've been checking out here in the office!

UM's High 5ives - 02.06.11

June! Already! Man, where is this year going, that's half way through and the tunes just keep getting better! After an active few weeks discovering new music and producers my Soundcloud feed is chock-a-block with new tunes to tempt me so this weeks High 5ive's was a tough call, and especially making it tunes that haven't featured elsewhere!

In other news, UM Records is coming along in fine form, again a busy couple of weeks have seen the first eight releases really take shape with the first tasters of remixes coming in and I have to say sounding awesome! Oh, and after much searching I finally landed a second hand pair of 1210's thanks to a mate of a mate - feels great to have proper decks back in the studio after so much Traktor and digital sounds, at last something to play the first of the UM Records vinyl on when we get to that!

Right, onto the main business of the day, this weeks pick of the crop!
