Urulu: Local Artist You Should Know
On 20, Jan 2012 | No Comments | In News | By admin
“Although steeped in traditional classic house sounds with soulful vocal flourishes and fresh fills, the vibe of Urulu’s tracks have a laidback tempo that has DNA strains of West Coast funk boogie and R & B. Like a glossied up, Hollywood glam version of Moodymann’s Detroit rollerskate jams.”
Meech – I Want (Raziek Remix)
On 19, Jan 2012 | No Comments | In News | By admin
“In recent months, gripes about the oversaturation of recent bass music with edited bits of R&B have become more prevalent on XLR8R, as one producer after another seems content to simply lift an old R&B hook and pitch-shift it into oblivion…On “I Want,” Raziek reconstructs the rhythm of the track, turning a steady house beat from Toronto’s Meech into a swinging garage pattern while adding a bit more punch to the bassline, but leaving the piano riff largely intact. This song, along with the original and three other remixes, can be found on the forthcoming I Want EP, due out February 6 via Demento Mori.”

EARMILK Presents: Weekend Selector – Meech (WKND11)
On 18, Jan 2012 | No Comments | In Interview, Mix, News | By admin
“To the many that surround him Meech is more than just a seasoned DJ, he’s a collector of true taste. Setting a local standard for careful selection he is one of Toronto’s few prospects drafting the nightlife niches he was raised in. Often spotted on bills supporting the caravans of traveling headliners washing in and out of town, Meech lays down a cunning foundation for the big names to build on. His experience on the front line of house culture has made him give in to release works of his own with, 1s and 2s in hand. I Want is his latest release on Copenhagen label Demento Mori and the EP outlines an uphill progression towards more appearances at the head of the stage and later on in into the midnight hour.”

SNATCH025 – Prince Club x Poupon
On 17, Jan 2012 | No Comments | In Mix, News | By admin
“Prince Club and Poupon – two of Canada’s brewing deep house bantams touch swords on Snatch! Records to pump out tracks that place beyond the gold. SNATCH025 opens up with “Platinum”, leery leads and smug commentary from Notorious B.I.G. the track is a strip-down of the genre to its core. A bonafide loud mouth boosting himself on one of their most reserved beats yet, it may seem polar and unfitting but the attitudes churn effortlessly into a humble swagger. Next on the tracklist, “La Nuit” brings out the layers of tech house nonsense both of these acts are known for with a bobbing bassline kicked around by pompous percussion. But it’s canny sampling in track 3 that drags any adept house head towards this release. Scissored from the 90s classic by Ruffneck, “Everybody” is an echo of the good times and hopefully the resurgence of a genre with lavish acceptance. Hit the jump to premier a fresh tape put together by the boys from Prince Club, steaming hot off the press.”

Review | PrinceClub & Poupon – Platinum EP | Snatch! Records
On 12, Jan 2012 | No Comments | In News | By admin
“Snatch! Kickstart the New Year with a stonking EP from Canadian duo PrinceClub. The pair have enjoyed a pretty successful year, breaking through into the forefront with gigs across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. The Platinum EP sees PrinceClub join forces with forward thinking producer Poupon, another native of Canada. It seems he has helped take this release “out of the box” so to speak while still keeping it fit for purpose……….The dancefloor!”

Q&A with Poupon
On 11, Jan 2012 | No Comments | In Interview, News | By admin
“This freshly pressed EP called “Platinum”, brought to you by our friends Prince Club and Poupon, is one heck of a release. Molding itself around house style elements, the 3 track EP out on Snatch Records is clearly making its way with DJ’s all over the globe, having gained support from the likes of Claude Von Stroke, Mark Knight, and Solo. The EP brings nice bounce, groove, and even a clever vocal sampling of hip-hop’s late leading light, Biggie Smalls (R.I.P.). I had the opportunity to catch up with Poupon, so take a look down below and don’t forget to support the EP on January 12th when it drops!”
