Fogdance EP

A special one for Shall Not Fade's Basement Tracks series indeed! Two legends play together and bring you 🔥🔥🔥 ghetto house! BOMB!___________________________________PressIn a very special edition of our Basement Tracks series, house legends Alan Fitzpatrick and DJ Deeon team up on a Chicago-inspired house track, later flipped by Shall Not Fade family member, DJOKO.A figure who needs little introduction, Alan Fitzpatrick has long been electrifying dance floors with his big-room selections and production. This EP sees the tech-house icon collaborate with the equally illustrious DJ Deeon on a track which gleams from the Chicago producer's musical heritage in juke and Ghetto house. "Shake That Thang" cruises along a deep house beat whilst Deeon's unmistakable vocal chops float over the top, offering a blissed-out take on the genre before Cologne's house music stalwart DJOKO who brings the funk on a buoyant flip. Rounding things off, "Learning to Love" sees Fitzpatrick fly solo with a sunshine-doused melody and euphoric drops. This one's sure to be heard on festival stages all across the globe this summer.

Breaky, pointalistic techno.

Really big bottom Glasgow dub. Ai ai ai. Is there a sound system worthy for this one?

An afterimage of a free party in Carpathian forest. First, intransigent kicks and psy-vibe that does go deep enough - slowly and sharply. Then, an overwhelming softness and progression (watch out for the looong, quiet breakdown!), acid joined by an acoustic guitar that somehow works, as well as a little bit of triggering story-telling to wrap it all upThis is a re-master and reapplication of ultra-limited Thracian CD-R from 2003. Originialy given away in Lukovit, Lovech Province, Bulgaria. It's a 3rd part of Brutaż expedition into the chillout zone of 90s Eastern Europe. Look out for more, maybe?Re-mastered and cut on 45 RPM by Tim Xavier at Manmade Mastering

Beautyful minimalistic experimental chinese classical sounds.
