Remixed Vol.1

Detroit/Chicago and odd techno/house sounds influenced French producers Marius Cyrilou and Popodi Venturi to come back with a new banging crossover project called MOTORBREMSEN. Marius and Popodi already had many digital and vinyl releases on various labels like People Potential Unlimited records, Omega Supreme Records, Outrun records and on their own labels, La Maison Venturi, Bazaar Records under the names of Spaced Out Krew, The Ceeofunk Band or Westbrook (and many others more).This 5 tracks EP gathers many influences such as Theo Parrish, Moodymann ("So Confused") or Drexciya-n sounds ("Sanctuary"). Some deep and dark bassy house mood concludes this ep ("Human Freaks" , "Riding Over The Darkness"). Besides this, the marvellous voice of Mae Rojas (The Ceeofunk Band) comes with a sensual touch on the track "Tiger Prey (Radio Edit)". This EP gives an instant deep feeling of a happy-to-sad mood, with mysterious and sexy moments.On A1 "So Confused", Don’t be confused, this is music to drive by in the hood with your low-rider. Gangsta boogie house at his climax for fans of Moodymann, Theo Parrish and all the raw house music mood.On A2 "Tiger Prey (Radio Edit)", with the help of Mae Rojas (Cee-O-Funk Band) on the mic, Motorbremsen keep pushing their unique vision of house music : soulful but raw, relaxed but not so slow, catchy but weird at the same time.On A3 "Sanctuary", let’s get on an electro-funk territory here. The guys explore a sound that can be rooted in seminal Arthur Baker’s productions and Drexciya’s mood but this a strong psychedelic feeling that is truly unique. All this comes with the special Motorbremsen’s touch of course. One for the B-Boys on acid...On B1 "Riding Over The Darkness", get in the D’s train for a cruise. Laidback house with a monstrous bass and this almost G-Funk feeling. Hmmmm… delicious ! One for the lovers.On B2 "Humanfreaks", let's get a bit darker. What begins like a bumpy beat get you little by little in real moody trip in a hot warehouse. Detroit techno muscular funk-infused inna 2021 style (by two guys who never listen to a Transmat record of their lives).

This October, UZ MI Records co-founder Rick Silver returns to release five eccentric cuts entitled ‘Strawberry Avenue’.London-based Rick Silver co-runs the exciting UZ MI Records imprint alongside label partner James Vernon, known as the duo Money House Club. The pair of them explore the deeper realms of atmospheric analogue house, techno, ambient and everything in between, with previous releases picking up support from Laurent Garnier, DJ Bone, DVS1, Elena Colombi, Mosca and more. Rick has previously landed on imprints such as Foliage Records and Dessau but now returns to his home label for the five-tracker ‘Strawberry Avenue’ EP.Kicking off the EP is ‘Group Funk’, which lays down lush pads, organic samples and inviting bass grooves before sweeping synths, rattling percussion and modulated fx take the focus in ‘Japan’. Up next, ‘Feeding’ brings sludgy, leftfield rhythms to the pack featuring dubbed-out mysticism and echoing soundscapes, whilst ‘Small Hours’ brings a hazy late-night house vibe with deep low frequencies, dreamy chimes and breezy elements. ‘Artificial’ provides positive energy with blooming synth pads, warm bass flutters, and glossy melodic flourishes to round things off.UZ MI · Rick Silver | Strawberry Avenue EP
