Hailing from Tel Aviv, Obas Nenor has been a regular fixture on some of the most prominent labels around – Defected, Moodymann‘s Mahogani Music or Detroit Swindle‘s Heist Recordings have all hosted his releases. The talented producer, who has been performing and producing for over two decades, can also boast a Boiler Room set to his list of achievements, which is as groovy as the release we‘ll be looking into. As you might have already guessed, Nenorion Music is Nenor’s personal imprint, showcasing his own music, alongside tracks from his Tel Aviv aficionados. The latest Nenorion release sees Obas returning to his home court and delivering a 4-track EP, curiously dubbed “Warm Yellow Stickers”, which is filled with his signature dancefloor goodies.

Our premiere is A2 ‘Everybody’. From its first chords, the track raises the room temperature by at least a couple of degrees, delivering a summery vibe that will likely stay with you for a good while. Cosmic synths, a crisp and catchy vocal chop and warm guitar strums – all the ingredients for a good time are definitely there. We are already picturing ourselves dancing barefoot on the beach sand to this dancefloor heater in the coming months and expect you to do the same. Moving on, or should we say backward, we have the title track A1 ‘Warm Yellow Stickers (Part I & II)’. It sets the tone for the rest of the otherworldly disco journey that is this scorching EP with a swinging bass line and signature vintage synths.

Flipping to the other side, we have B1 ‘Wrapped in Plastic’, featuring a vocal part by the lovely Jenny Penkin. The two artists have already teamed up on Nenor’s latest Defected release and the track, supplemented by bended keys and escalating pads is a definite proves the success of their collaboration. B2 ‘Movin’ finishes the journey with aplomb, offering a head nodding groove and funky vocoder vocals that will have you looking for that ‘Replay’ button as soon as it’s finished.

Obas Nenor ‘Warm Yellow Stickers’ EP is out on Nenorion on the 29^th July. Cop it here.

The fourth EP in Whiskey Disco spinoff Lovedancing‘s catalogue comes courtesy of Israeli duo Rabo & Snob (soundcloud) (themselves regular contributors to WD). R&S, which consists of DJ/Producers Obas Nenor and Eyal Rob, is best known for their sneaky re-edits of the global disco variety, often leaning heavily on Middle Eastern sample material. The Yawumna EP shifts the sonic focus to West Africa, building on a trip taken to Ghana and seamlessly integrating collaborations from local musicians.

The title track, which sits on the first groove of the record (and was the target of many an ID request during Obas Nenor’s Boiler Room set last year) is a haunting mid-tempo groover featuring Soma. “Yawumna” mixes together a pulsating dark bassline with exquisite string (kora, to be exact) and vocal work.

For our premiere today, we have French producer Art of Tones remix of the track. An increase in tempo and added afrobeat flair repurpose the cut for slightly brighter and funkier moods. It’s a slightly looser take, integrating an analog bassline, tasty rhythm guitar (wah-wah included) and playful, sustained organ riffs for added fun.

On the B-side “Ifa” (featuring the vocalist Azizaa) is a slice of mean, afro-house badness, with Jacques Renault contributing a slicked out dub version. All of this makes for a nice package of two great originals and two purposeful flips from established vets in the house game. The Yawumna EP hits record stores on May 12th for those needing to scratch their afro house itch.
