As stated in the last post from a few months ago, it is seemingly quiet on the home front of SBR. And in some regards that is correct. In the last few months Clay and Eric of White Girl Lust have shifted their attention temporarily off of Solid Bump to really invest in their own music again. Running even the smallest label in a total DIY fashion is a time consuming endeavor.

Last summer we found ourselves more inspired to work on music than we had been in a long time. We had reinvested in some of our favorite classic synths and drum machines, rebuilt a new studio space, and found ourselves really inspired by the dance music scene as a whole in 2011.

Now six months later this inspiration is finally culminating as Say Again with long time collaborator Alona Esposito. We have our first EP of demos wrapping up which will lead into an official launch of Say Again in late winter 2012.

However, the first fruits of our labor are actually being released in only a few weeks on the notorious Gomma Records. The remix package is of Moullinex’s Modular Jam and features some great works from the likes of Justin Faust, Earl Grey (an alias of Danny from the C-90s), Worship, and ourselves as Say Again. 

Our mix digs it’s heel in a tad deeper into the house and exposes our penchant for 80′s Roland gear and 12 bit drum samplers. We are pretty excited about this one!

More info on Say Again coming soon!

Where have White Girl Lust and Solid Bump Records been the last few months? Well, it’s been a hectic whirlwind of a good time, settling into a new studio space, rebuilding our collection of vintage studio toys, and mostly writing a slew of demos for a new project that will be unveiled this fall under the moniker Say Again.

Who or what is Say Again? Eric and Clayton of WGL have officially joined up with long-time collaborator Alona to focus on rolling out a shared vision of lush analog driven dance music.

As a warm up exercise the trio has cooked up a moody interpretation of Tensnake’s recent anthem “Something About You”.The remix plays up the rich orchestration of the original’s classic house vibes and settles with a distinctly modern house groove.

More to follow in the coming months – but for now – enjoy a small tease of Say Again.

Heavy production from all at solid bump in the month of March. Here is the proof! Check out the recent post at Lazy Day Lounge featuring Chicago’s Gary Shruggs aka “Adulture” as he gives a peak into his personal production methods. It’s a world of cats, cigarettes, and rotosound flat wound bass strings all contributing to the sultry disco funk that Adulture is known for producing.

Got alerted yesterday that the White Girl Lust remix of Diamond Lights “What Have You” (Yes Yes Records) keeps appearing in some surprising (but welcomed) places. This time on Heavyfeet’s Winter Promo Mix. Check it on out!

I am certain we have spoke on Quinten 909 at some point on here. Dude is a very talented young producer and from the track selection of this mix, he has some fine taste in other people’s music as well.

This is also the first preview of the forthcoming White Girl Lust tune from Pleasure & Pressure Vol.3 – check the 16:20 mark for the exxxclusive.

YOU GOT ME – SECOND CITY RHYTHM

Solid Bump Posse is poppin up everywhere.  Garrett Shrigley and Lee Dunn, better known by their artist monikers, Adulture and Ghosts of Venice have both been prolific as solo artists to date. 2011 will kick off their joint effort as Second City Rhythm. The two offered this track up for free this month to generate hype for a forth coming release on Dust Traxx. The Download is exhausted but the track is not.  Top notch sampling and quality dynamics make this track a burner!  Look for Adulture on Solid Bump’s Pleasure & Pressure 3 this february.

SBR Approved.

Without a doubt Treasure Fingers is one of the most visible figures in the broad definition of disco house. It’s pretty clear that the mega-dance label Defected is making a strong move to cash in on the scene, with recent tracks from Tensnake and Treasure Fingers, as well as some of the affiliate SBR posse (shhhh – details are secret). This is a good thing no matter how you throw the dice for small labels like us.

A sign of this has been the inclusion of Bit Funk’s remix of Ghosts of Venice’s recent single “Her” on Solid Bump. Below is the radio show from a few weeks ago. The SBR blog has been a bit heavy on mixes lately, however this is a much different vibe of a mix than the epic Robert James mix from yesterday. It’s good to keep a diverse dance music palette y’all.

One of White Girl Lust’s favorite releases of summer was Robert James’ moody yet enticingly funky Sleep Modes EP on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations label. The imprint’s short but distinct discography is concise and focused in an amazing way.

RJ’s latest mix is a great example of the label’s sound. Reserved boom-bap house beats that lean heavy on samples, yet in a almost dismissive manner. The backbone of most tracks is the bassline and reverbed subtleties which evoke a eighties vibe, while clearly sounding new and cutting edge.

Highly recommended on all counts.
