Beyond Cry And Smile EP

James 'Burnski' Burnham already runs about 7398 labels but recently kicked off another, Gravitate. The mission is simple - to put out club-ready cuts that have plenty of character. All of these come under the same name as the label and artist which indicates how much it is a label all about the music. The first one has a JayDee-style dark bassline, the second one brings old school house rawness that brings to mind the MAW sound and the third one is a more roomy cut with space for the synths to encourage a bit of introspection. The closer is the best of the lot, a silky deep house groove with real drive and trippy synth details

Croisière Musique is back with an EP from Gibs, a wild Parisian back in his city after having lived in Bruxelles for some time. With this EP “You dirty little thing”, all sensuality of Gibs’ deep house with a minimal flavor fully flourishes in your ears and envelops you with its warmth.Rhythms remain stripped down and fitted with bouncy basslines which are strongly dance inductive, while the story tends to be narrated by the rich synths and pads reminding us of classical 80s/90s house sounds. Elaborate harmonies and synths lines cannot hide Gibs’ classical background as well as his taste for a wide range of musical styles. All tracks have several phases and atmospheres, starting anchored in the floor with a second part that introduces new synths, harmonies, modulations – an assembly of short musical moments akin to a sonata.Losing Control pays homage to the eponymous dbx track, but this time the feeling of anxiety has been replaced by a feeling of sweet decadence, the sensation of entering or exiting an orgy.SMGS,You dirty little thing and Nuisance all have this Croisière vibe, feeling of floating in the air or the sea, like an endless summer, tainted with a bit of melancholy, while the repetitive swinging drums make us dance continuously, combination making all those tracks trippy yet drivy.Music to make love or to dance to.

Interweaved yields the first volume of a new series curated by Brawther and one that underlines its credentials as an outlet for fresh new underground talent. Three producers here - Frederik Anthony, Mahar, and ICTV - were finalists in the 2023 "Minimal" Producer Challenge judged by Cassy, Losoul and Daniel Paul. Anthony opens with 'Interiddim', a lithe broken beat here through with warm chords. Mahar's 'Relaxed' is a silky and minimal dub tech cut and Omar Fayyad's 'A Mutual Thing' offers trippy late-night charm. Finally, ICTV's 'Oracle Night' is also deep and dubby but a little more menacing.
