Following notable releases from smooth operator Lucas Arruda, Voilaaa and Camarão Orkestra among others, Paris-based record label line up the eight-track ‘Many Shades Of House‘ various artists compilation – curated by Lausanne-based DJ and producer Lea Lisa.
Consisting of eight tracks, ‘Many Shades Of House‘ features a collection of legendary house producers such as one of deep house’s originators Kerri Chandler, Slowhouse 2, Truth, Lars Bartkuhn’s side project Passion Dance Orchestra, Transient, Pure Science, Guidance’s Blax Thanxs and Chicago-based prominent producer Ron Trent. Throughout the release, the consortium of high-spirited house disciples deliver a sonic throwback to Motor City’s heritage with jazz-infused remedies and soulful treasures.
Extracted from the ‘Ancient Voices‘ EP released in 1998 by Pure Science, ‘Ekeyz’ is our pick for the premiere. Poundering kickdrums, visionary poetry enriched by feminine utterances, dubbed-out melodies, a rollercoaster of groovy basslines and ecstatic synthesizers make this track a timeless tribal house classic to pile your peak time section with.
‘Many Shades Of House’ VA is scheduled for release on 29th March via Favorite Recordings. Order a vinyl copy from Bandcamp.
