Looking Up To You / Diamond Real

Sticking to the trusted format of 4 superlative cuts from equally talented producers, the quality and talent on show does not disappoint on WGD007. Tin Man, Rai Scott, Sound Synthesis & Roger Van Lunteren.

Inspired by the sound of 90s Dutch and Italian house and dial-up modems, it’s an EP that goes in hard on the melodies, anchoring them to propulsive, loose-limbed drum tracks and wrapped up in wiggly arrangements. Maurits Verwoerd also known as Nachtbraker, is a Dutch Producer, DJ, Composer and Sound Designer hailing from Amsterdam. Label heads, Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy are thrilled to announce the first Peach Discs release of 2023.

Vecchio's Afro-Rock is one big horn-heavy, bass-blasting, Latin groove funk-rock party. Only now, you're all invited because this, ladies and gentleman, is officially...a grail no more. With copies currently starting at 400 Euros for an original, this beautifully presented reissue, part of Be With's fresh campaign with Music De Wolfe, is well overdue. A magnificent and somewhat obscure library set that's just a total, cohesive joy from start to finish, this here is the soundtrack to all your smokin' summer BBQs and communal cookouts.Afro-Rock is the debut album by Argentine keyboardist Luis Vecchio. Recorded for the sound library label De Wolfe, the album is frequently mentioned in hushed reverence among the beat digger DJ collecting crowd. It features fiery brass charts, funky bass lines, fluttering flute, choppy organ and additional hand tribal percussion. The band let loose too and jam hard; yet there's a certain thread of solidity that runs throughout, the tracks just belong together, not disparate sound and rhythm experiments like some library records; this is just straight up, no messin', consistent funk-rock FIRE! Hips will sway, heads will nod to the steady vibes. It's insanely good.
