We are opening our Lossless archives with „From The Vaults“ - a string of EPs showcasing our personal favourites and secret weapons picked from our catalogue and spiced up with exclusives and/or previously unreleased music we simply couldn’t hold back any longer.
The opener „Si“, contributed by Atelier’s Alexander Inggs with Joburg’s Itai Hakim on vocal duties is such a tune. We’ve heavily roadtested it pre-pandemic and it got some amazing crowd reactions and feedback. It’s the definition of a deep and atmospheric tune with just the right dose of tension to set a dancefloor on fire.
Next one doesn’t need any big intro. Anthony Georges Patrice’s “Parallel Romance” marked our very first release and it’s still causing goosebumps recalling the moment when Mano Le Tough dropped it in his May 2014 Boiler Room set. Shortly after “Parallel Romance” was on heavy rotation with Dixon, Âme and many many more for months. We couldn’t have asked for a better track and way to start things off with our label LOSSLESS. Mathias Schober’s popular “SB Re-Arrange” is the version we’re featuring here in a slightly edited version.
Shortcut to 2016 – the year our vinyl releases came in red sleeves and Neil Flynn delivered his second EP named after his sister “J.E.N.”. “J.E.N.” features vocals by the Irish songstress Katie Kim which Trikk elaborately made use of in his “Selva Densa Mix”.
Closing off things is our dutch friend and über-producer / live-act Love over Entropy with „Autumnal“ - one of our personal favourites. “Autumnal” is a playful, deep and percussive affair. The slightly melancholic melodies and vibe reminds of the earlier DJ Gregory. This track will - despite the name - excellently perform in sunny midsummer too - word!
We hope you enjoy this collection as much as we do.
More issues of “From the Vaults” to come. Promised!
