London-based Quintessentials continues to chug along. After their 10 year anniversary and impressive 60th release, they’ve already gone on to release two more EPs with the third one on the way now. Stepping up to the plate this time is NY*AK. The Newcastle-based hardware guru already has an impressive resume of releases under his belt on labels such as Local Talk, Phonica’s Karakul and Ninja Tune’s Techinicolour imprints. The Vice EP on Quintessentials is another strong outing, featuring everything from sultry vocals on the A1 ‘After the Sun’ to deep and raw Detroit grooves on the title track ‘Vice’.

This is a truly versatile EP and today we’re happy to be premiering the B2 track ‘Onions’ featuring collaborator Mark Hand, who also played keys on NY*AK’s track Shadow which was released on Technicolour. Mellow keys and a deep bass are joined by some funky guitar licks as the track gets under way. The percussion continues to build up as a synth lead joins the fray. Onions continues to slowly develop until looped vocals and off-kilter keys take over, flipping it into a bit of a deeper jam and pleasantly surprising us with the juxtaposed moods. This one gets our seal of approval and the rest of the EP is no slouch either.You can already pre-order your copy at various shops as the record is set to be out on February 8th.

PREMIERE : Wallabee – Feel [Dream Raw Recording]

Dream Raw Recordings, self-proclaimed underground label for all kind of fresh dreamy, hazy, lo-fi, raw house, are gearing up to release a V/A comp of gems from a staggering, 36 artists. Faithful to the motto, “too many good tracks,” DRR decided it’d make sense to organize a digital release full of tunes from artists you may already follow, and a bunch you most likely do not. The collection of tracks is wide ranging, spanning mellow house full of dreamy pads and emotional detuned lo-fi pianos to tape recorded acid jams and jungle.

An immediate standout from the pack, Belfast producer Wallabee’s “Feel” features a dramatic, vintage sounding piano loop that creeps over deep drums and under signature lo-fi hats and snares. Adding more fuel to the fire, a heavily reverbed sample of Timbaland’s famous adlibs on Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody” is the perfect complement to an already tripped out track. If you were up on your stuff, you would have heard this track already. Five months ago, Wallabee self-released it via his SoundCloud page. Having smartly signed the track, Dream Raw adds an excellent track to an already impressive collection of tunes. A dig through Wallabee’s discography shows a penchant for deep lo-fi house, glistening pianos, and heavy reverb. One could easily get lost in more than one of his productions. Hint, hint…someone should sign his other track, “2K17.” For many, this will be a nice intro to an unknown producer, and we’ll certainly be watching out for Wallabee’s next releases.

Stay tuned for the rest of the compilation to drop. At 36 tracks, there are bound to be a couple you’ll love. Buy link is already online via bandcamp.
