Dust Traxx “The Shape of House to Come”

Dust Traxx is an infamous Chicago house label that was once home to Paul Johnson, Robert Armani, and many many more. The last few years has seen the label go a bit quiet compared to their peak in the late 90′s and early 2000′s. Enter Adulture (formerly of Le Principle) to save the day.

A few months ago Adulture took the reigns of the Dust Traxx relaunch. At first it may seem odd, that the young talent be put in charge of such a historic label, but his balance of knowing fresh new artist in the vein of the previous DT legacy and an honest respect for it’s heritage really makes him the perfect candidate.

The Shape of House to Come is the perfect compilation to the announce the new era of Dust Traxx, with some of the best new names in house as well as legends such as Dajae. Many Solid Bump affiliates are represented here, including Ghosts of Venice, White Girl Lust, Alona, and Adulture himself.

Lee Dunn (better known as Ghosts of Venice) has had a big year. After self-releasing his “I Learned From The Best” EP, he quickly caught the attention of the A&R teams at Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Dust Traxx, and of course, Solid Bump Records. In the months to follow he has lent his passion for jacked up Disco House to a slew of official remixes including Grum’s “Can’t Shake This Feeling” and James Talk & Ridney’s massive Ibiza summer anthem “Forever”. Solid Bump is proud to debut his first commercially available original track entitled “Her”. The song serves as a homage to the long days of a summer passed, with a highly swung laidback groove that keeps in perfect tow with the signature sound of Solid Bump.

The remix selection is a showcase of the exciting talent Solid Bump has in store in 2011, with a large portion of the label’s roster lending their spin on the single. White Girl Lust completely re-imagines the original as an epic piano house burner, complete with vocals from Alona. Chicago’s Bit Funk glosses the tune with his distinct synth-pop sheen. Meanwhile, Mix Chopin lives up to his name with a lively cut & paste session. The release is rounded out by the low-key vibes of Mykill & Meroz.

[BONUS BEAT] White Girl Lust – Mesopotamia (B-52′s Dub Bootleg)

Fresh from last week’s exclusive Chemical Jump interview and mixtape, which garnered 1800+ plays in less than a week, White Girl Lust presents a top secret bootleg house dub of “Mesopotamia” – which was included in the mix. The original B-52′s track was the result of an arguably failed recording session with David Byrne as the producer. Tensions were high during these sessions and ultimately the idea of a full album was scraped. In our opinion (as well as many other people) the friction injected just enough nervous funk into the Athens New Wave band to be deemed a classic.

Here the founding duo of Solid Bump Records strip the original composition to it’s essence and reconstruct the track as a stomping dub for the dancefloor. The result is too reserved to be called “big room” but far too massive to be a categorized a “beard stroker” edit. Let’s split the difference and call it “Mid-Sized House”.

“OH SH*T SON” – Ghosts of Venice (Defected/ Strictly Rhythm)
“√+” – Acid Jacks (Idiot House)
“Really am loving the stripped-backed sound of this!” – Bit Thief (Plant Music)
“Love it! My favorite B-52′s song of all time.” – Johnny Dynell (infamous 80′s disco DJ of M.U.D.D. Club & Danceteria. Tensnake recently remixed his CLASSIC 80′s hit “Jam Hot”)

Lordamerci – last week Solid Bump’s Mykill, who you may recall from Pleasure & Pressure Vol.2, dropped a duo of stellar mixes on us. If that ain’t enough to raise your pants tent then this should get a rise out of you. Mykill and Meroz have been hitting the ole DAW together and apparently have some hot sh#t brewing. You can get the first taste of the team efforts on their remix of Ghosts of Venice’s “Her”.

Below is a link to the Mixcloud of Mykill’s stellar mix that he posted. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to embed this thing. If any of you strapping young lads out there know what I am doing wrong – lemme know.

That’s right… at long last Paper Cat has dropped. This is a release that has had an epic amount of hype behind it, so without further ado, here is what the pros are saying…

“Solid Bump does it again! Adulture & OCD Automatic’s “Paper Cat” just kills it on that funky disco house tip, with a HUGE sound that’ll tear up the club. Seriously, everything is banging on this track from the filtered loop, the drums, synths, bass and arrangement, perfect stuff to mix in with any house or disco set. The original is already so good, but they decide to throw you some excellent remixes too including a wicked version from Fool’s Gold artist Sammy Bananas who adds some nice sax work(!) and Levan-style synths over the top taking it even higher! Don’t forget to check the chilled out Bit Funk remix and the amped up and beat-repeated Phantom’s Revenge remix as well. Recommended.” – Turntable Lab Editors

“This is nastyyyyyyy… summer vibes gone wild!” – Drop The Lime (Trouble & Bass)

“Man that’s great! I played the Sammy Bananas Mix of Paper Cat – nice one!” – Stretch Armstrong (Plant Music)

“Really nice EP, feeling the acid house vibe of the Bananas one the most, will def give that a play!”
- Matt Walsh (Clouded Vision)

“Somewhere between Pryda and Bangalter, this release is as timeless, soulful, and as fresh sounding as anything I’ve heard this year.” – Emynd (Crossfaded Bacon)

“I love it. Been running the original version in all my sets. Sammy’s mix is definitely next level though.” – Thee Mike B

That is right, our beloved Le Principle duo has called it quits as a twosome. Now they are going at it alone. BUT FEAR NOT! Here is the official word…

After a year in the fast lane of the disco house revival, Josh Gard and Garrett Shingley have decided to part creative ways as Le Principle. The duo quickly flooded cyberspace with a slew of top tier productions which soon attracted our attention at Solid Bump Records. We quickly signed all the previously unreleased material the pair created. Blue Love is the final Le Principle song to be produced, but far from the end of the story. Both young producers will be continue to re-define the new generation of house music seperately as Adulture (Garrett) and Charlie Church (Josh).

Solid Bump Records chose to give away “Blue Love” to the masses because it is Le Principle’s perfect swan song and fully embodies all the things that made us decide to work with the young duo from the start. Their signature style of sampling, heavy knocking drums, and perfectly tailored groove based sensibilities are fully exemplified in “Blue Love”.

Adulture
Garrett will resume his previous alias, Adulture, continuing to produce his unique brand of stomping house. In turn, Solid Bump Records will be unleashing the long awaited Paper Cat single July 27th 2010. Paper Cat, features 3 huge remixes from Sammy Bananas, Bit Funk, and The Phantom’s Revenge.

Charlie Church
Josh will continue producing bass music as Figure, as well as launching the Charlie Church moniker for his disco-house creations. He recently released “Girl” on One for All Records gathering a bit of notice last month.

For now grab the FINAL Le Pee track from Soundcloud for FREE. And gear up for the future.
