Various Artists

For Solenoid Records first Various Artists we're serving up five Dj's & producers from different parts of Europe and of varying styles. The first track "Vertical Motion" by Berlin based dj and producer marta is a 100% dance floor oriented track that organically puts together an ostinato bass line together with acid melodies and 90s shynt chords. The following track "Slowjam" by the italian duo we.amps brings us into a downtempo mood with a complex and perfectly executed orchestration full of surprising elements and colors. Side A ends off with a 90s disco / deep house track created by the founder and creator of Solenoid Records - Erta Ale. Side B showcases Amsterdam based DJ and producer Lupe with his track "Italo Elite" , who has brought to the table a fantastic Disco / Techno / Italo hypnotic track that's not easy to define but impossible not to dance to. The infectious bass line dominates the whole composition and we can't wait to listen to and play it on dancefloor- whenever that may be. Last but certainly not least , we end off side B with another artist who came out on Solenoid Records last year: the insatiable Sweetestcape all the way from London. For this release he's put together a tasteful deep house track called "Whatever the mushroom says". It's a perfectly executed track with hypnotic vocals to end off a closing set and ep, leaving us with a lingering taste for more.
