Jay Haze label continues to surprise us with good choices. This time they invited Bunkers duo to lead the decks and the choice proved itself to be extraordinary. The members of the duo are Alessio Mereu and Signor Andreoni, the first has had quite successful productions released by labels like Cmyk, Harthouse, TS, Renovatio among others and Andreoni also has had some quite good achievements during his career, most of them on TS Blues Experiment. Now, in their third Ep as a duo, they really hit it with two groovy tracks that are ready to be spread during the Summer. In the a-side you will listen Barajas, a seductive simple track, constructed step by step, starting only with a groovy beat that goes developing into something that will leave the crowds euphoric. It has a great bassline, not very strong, but still very danceable and a very groovy rhythm, perfect to night times. In the b side you will listen to “Lost In the Red Room”, those kinds of tracks that seem perfect already from the beginning and that won’t disappoint you till the end. The beat is insanely hot, the construction is perfect and all the samples seem to be chosen perfectly. This is the brightest example of what a tech house track should be… feeling, rhythm and willingness to dance! Tuning Spork did it again…

Tuning Spork is clearly becoming one of my favorite labels, their have been doing a great work this year and today I present to you their latest Ep. The original “Stel and Atan” was first released back in 2007 and now, after two years, label founder Jay Haze felt it was time to do the proper revisit of this sort of neglected bomb! So, both Haze and Hugo produced two new versions of the track. The A side is the “S Ivory Pleated Pants Remix”, by Hugo, a funky deep minimal house tune with a great bass line and a hot groovy rhythm that will leave the dancefloor swaying under the moonlight. Next comes Haze with his “S Iridescent Spandex Remix) bringing the track to a deeper level turning this monster into a minimal tech turn on! The rhythm is near to perfection along with the bass variations.. After his great mix for Fabric, Hazy continues to surprise us, we really support his work and we honestly think that his productions keep getting better..  this is a track to be appreciated by… appreciators! Hugo and Haze showing the people what minimal grooves are all about.

Tuningspork presents “Comptine D’un Autre Été: l’aprés-midi”. Jay Haze gathered with the French composer Yan Tiersen to perform a one sided Ep full of deep melancholic moods. Yan is a musician known internationally for composing the score to the Jean-Pierre Jeunet movie Amélie. His music is recognized by its use of a large variety of instruments in relatively minimalist compositions.. Jay Haze fell in love with this guys music enough to take a beat under one of his tracks and the result was simply beautiful. Translated to English the title of the track would mean something like: nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon. It’s definitely a charming peace of the most delicate art, that really enters in your soul, and at the same time is a bumping minimal techno track perfect to open – or close – those kinds of special party’s! The piano melody along that deep typical Haze’s beat – and later the Violin – is really something that transmits a special feeling, heavy-hearted! I hope you’ll stick with this for a long time, it’s a refreshing change of pace for Haze and for Tuning Spork, and I guess that it will bring some massive turn-on moments into the dancefloor … simply amazing! Supported by Lee Jones, among others.
