CREME ORGANIZATION PODCAST MIXED BY TLR
 

Play:-  Guest Podcast: Creme JAK Record Label by The Guide Clubland


Creme Organization is Dutch west coast underground techno label founded in 2000 by TLR (Jeroen Van Der Star), an offspring of bunker records. Since then, the label has been 100% independent and totally self indulgent, creating a special blend of distinctly euphoric-nilhilistic techno. 
Label Boss, Jeroen Van Der Star kindly put together a 30 minute mix together for us, showcasing the freshest releases available on Creme/JAK. Kicking off with 2AMFM's 'Final Approach', Jeroen takes us on a dark journey epitomised by tracks such as 'Dark Tears' by D'Marc Cantu.  A sinister soundscape painted, we are treated to the likes of JTC in which Jeroen finishes it all off with a monstrous acid frenzy by The Minister - Physical pain.


Tune in, turn on and Toe tap to this mix and enjoy.

Grant Paterson's Floor Fillaz:

FUZZY HAIR - Vola Via (Molto Recordings)
With a powerful kick and bass that will test every sound system and move every floor complemented by lovely chiming chords which drift as melodies soar, this is a very special track. It would take Beelzebub himself to climb out of his pit and try and wipe the smile off your face as you dance. That said, I reckon he'd still fail as you 'vola via' (means fly away in Italian).

MARTIN EYERER feat. SIAN KOSHEEN - Your Move, Thomas Schumacher Remix (Blu Fin)
This hypnotic deep house track creates the impression of floating in a bowl of chunky techno soup. Trouble is, it such a tasty cut you'll want to keep it and drink it all yourself.

CHRISTIAN FISCHER - Black Coffee (Definition Records)
Taken from the fantastic Change Disco album, Black Coffee is full of unexpected twists and turns. As jazz horns blast, guitars and lush chords flow over deep beats, brightening up the floor and taking you ion a funky journey.

KRETIPLETI - Enskap (Kant Recordings)
Elemental Techno with an organic pounding fury that drives onwards and  is guaranteed to excite any crowd. Play this and it will blow the roof off, like being squeezed into a tin can and jettisoned into space.

ROBERTO FUEGO - Kesselflicker (LAD Publishing)
Ping-pong tech bleeps bounce then go bam as a killer bass beat, so phat that you will know something's coming... something serious. Melodic acid bleeps soon let rip and the driving sound will have the floor-filled.
ALBUM ALERT:
WE LOVE - WE LOVE (BPitch Control)

WE LOVE are the golden needle in the haystack of current club music. It's Almost impossible to resist the charm of the sweet Giorgia Angiuli, with her alluring brown eyes, and the wild locks of the contemplative, emotional Piero Fragola.

The pairs debut album could become the chorus of summer with their enchanting songs as they fuse the ecstasy of club land with the emotions of pop.

This has been sitting high on my play list for quite sometime and if you like me, are a fan of Boards of Canada and The Vector Lovers, then you are in for a treat.

A totally absorbing and majestic listen from start to finish. Sit comfortably, press play, tip your head against the window and let your imagination form like raindrops momentarily on the glass.

WE LOVE - WE LOVE (9/10)
Release date: 16th September, 2010.

Grant Paterson's Floorfillaz:


Martijn Ten Velden vs Red Carpet - Together Alright (Phonetic Recordings)
This top tune is rockin’ the block all the way from Ibiza to the Capital. A peak time beauty, Together Alright is one of this summer’s most uplifting tracks. The chord driven melody is electric and the luscious vocal makes it more than just alright.


JP Chronic - Saxophonist In Paris (City Soul Project)
A house tune that’s got all the right ingredients to get the party fired up. A funky guitar loop, tight production and jazzy saxophone makes this a soulful hit with a real sense of avant garde style. A definite floor burner.




Marco Bailey and Tom Hades - Always Valid (Excentric Muzik)
A jaw unhinging, banging play from start to finish. Hungry and uncompromising this is hi-nrg at its brilliant best.





Carlos Francisco - Fortaleza Bacana, Soulight Remix (Unrivaled Music)
A deep house groover packed to the rafters with atmosphere and a soulful late evening vibe that begs to be played poolside. Groovey, sexy, hot and so, soooooo good that you’ll be lost in the music for what feels like forever.


Codec Shift - Viper Room (Veryverywrongindeed Recordings)
From out of the darkness, deep beats snake under the floor, building and building, squirming and turning as the bodies on the dance floor pulse in unison. What else would you expect of the Viper Room? This is one intense floor-filler that manages to be both very, very, wrong, yet very, very right.
