HMWL Podcast is here again, this month a tiny bit late. But hey, since the spring is here it’s hard to stay indoors browsing our never-ending stream of new promos. The mix contains recent and future releases from labels like Cadenza, Drevkollektivet, Fukai, Culprit La, WMWL, Off Recordings and Kling Klong. Enjoy with pleasure.

Tiger Stripes aka Mikael Nordgren never seems to sit still in his Stockholm studio. Following the recent releases on Get Physical and My Favorite Robot, here is another epic vocal track, produced and sang by Mikael himself. This time on Off Recordings where the label boss – Andre Crom delivers a lovely deep re-rub.

Right from the start, the EP’s title track features a sample from Mobb Deep and a spring-infused guitar melody that sets the tone for all your springtime festivities. Heavy vocal sampling and a driving house groove make this track easy to love.

Doctor Dru’s take on “Worst Love” is deep and heavy with a forceful bassline . The term “Maceo-house” has been thrown around quite a bit as of late, and it seems necessary here as well. The lead-synth on this one seduces you in and doesn’t let go.

Alexander Graas comes from the underground Psy trance scene of Goa. He also holds a residency as a chill and ambient DJ in Israel. The influences are clearly heard in Westpath. That despite sounding a bit minimal to start with turns out to be a very thought through production. Perfect as a starter.… Continue…

To say Andre Crom is the Bob Dylan of house music is a slight exaggeration. Yet. His record label have been providing the clubs in Berlin and elsewhere with soulful, organic, folk and rock influenced wax for the last 3 years. For the 34th volume of HMWL Podcast we got down with the big boss of OFF Recordings that recently celebrated their 25th release.

HMWL: Andre, you’ve been involved with electronic music in one way of another for many years. But OFF Recordings … Continue…

Huxley – Murnina
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]

One of my favorite labels is celebrating their 25th release. OFF Recordings has been delivering for the most top quality, but at times a bit experimental tracks for exactly 2.5 years. Reling heavily on jazzy, blues, folk music and african influences the label has released artist like Nima Gorji, Dj W!ld, Alex Patz and Bastian Schucter to name a few favourite ones.

OFF25 – Get Back to the raw is a jubileum compilation containing 3 vinyl and a digital release – 15 brand new tracks all in all. As usual we are … Continue…
