LATEST RELEASE NEWS & GOSSIP (Don't forget ... It's a secret..)
It seems that the rumor mill has been ticking 24 / 7 during the last 30 days - So many really fantastic releases finished, released or in progress for your greasy chip stained mitts on now and in the very near future.
"The moment" (as Fertile Ground would say) belongs to Yam Who at the moment - if the new DJ promo The R**** has not already hit your local store, it will be soon. Two thumbs up from us. Yam Who are also on the rework for Zero 7, Ampfiddler, Megablast (Stereo Deluxe), Truby Trio (Compost) and a very special track that has made us all smile for weeks!!
Drumagick, having mashed up Europe good and proper are back in Sao Paulo and busy with new material as well as remixes (including Marcos Valle). Truby Trio have completed a more deeper electronica remix for the Nicola Conte produced Rosalia de Souza. Fauna Flash (two thirds of Truby Trio) are "more than halfway" through a full album project with Peter Kruder under the Voom : Voom moniker. A 2004 release is likely. UMOD (Domu to you and me) has his "Enter the Umod" L.P for Sonar Kollektiv set for release next month. Getting charted and played by all and sundry - and why not..?
DJ Ender - the Nu Spirit Helsinki founder - and his childhood conspirator Pepe Deluxe have some very interesting studio sessions that they are storing up for a day soon come. A remix by the pair for Perfect Toy is also due out in May. The blonde beatsmith that is Stateless (Swell Sessions) is the latest compiler for the excellent Ecco Chamber series Playground. That man has taste.
Following the success of Jazzinho's debut L.P, especially in Japan, a remixes project is in offing as well with some exciting names already recruited. Lastly, and by certainly no means least, the lovely 4 Lux guys from the most liberal country on earth. yes - Holland - have a label compilation by the name of Cool, Calm & Collective featuring Phil Asher (Focus), Alex Phountzi and Jazzinho amongst others - theres not a bad track on it!! - www.4lux.com
