Colau – Highway Run

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 14:46:00 +0000

Argentinian producer Colau aka Nicolas Di Donato joins the label with Highway Run. A solid uptempo 2 tracker with deep and micro/minimal house influences. Dizzy on the flip – or second track – has the more minimal approach. Roughly one year ago he released his first tracks on Love & Loops, the label run by Ale Castro.

Flashback: Drive7’s debut Rejuvenate

GENTS156 – Colau – Highway Run EP

Highway Run

Colau’s release Highway Run is an uptempo affair. Highway Run, while still maintaining a deep house vibe, clocks in at 127BPM. Heavy kick, deep subby bassline and some organs make up most of the track. Tracks don’t need to complicated to work, this is proof of that. Simple but so effective! Dizzy, the second track, is a little slower but still at a good pace at 124BPM, and keeps the forward motion going using stabs, muffled bassline and tweaked lead melodies.

Drive7 – Rejuvenate

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 14:01:00 +0000

We invite you to listen to Drive7’s debut Rejuvenate. Solid deep, lush sounding atmospheric and functional dance floor focussed deep house tracks.

GENTS155 – Drive7 – Rejuvenate EP

Rejuvenate

Drive7’s new release Rejuvenate may/will sound a bit different to our regular label sound. A more modern and atmospheric, sometimes dubby approach of deephouse. This sound can be heard on the first two tracks: Rejuvenate and Galvanize, while the 3rd track Unwind is more of an oldskool sounding house track. All 3 though were heavily supported on mutiple store charts and dj-sets. Variety, the spice of life, innit?

Addvibe – Burdons

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 12:07:00 +0000

We have lost count how many times we’ve released music from our Norwegian friend Addvibe aka Lux Experience aka Pal Sorli. He routinely sends us links of new work, or as it was the case on Burdons, older unreleased tracks from ages ago. Burdons is exactly that, a 3 tracker with older unreleased cuts he found on a backup HDD. They survived the test of time as we liked them a lot. Starting of deep, moving over to more groovy and garage inspired sounds.

GENTS154 – Addvibe – Burdons EP

Burdons, Copycat & Happy Feet

Addvibe‘s new release Burdons is out worldwide by the time you’ll read this post. The release gathered nice support from Traxsource and DJ’s all over the world. Some like the deeper cut, Burdons, while others firmly opted to go for the more garage inspired Happy Feet. The garage house genre has been gathering fans left and right over the past two years and we see more labels giving the genre a chance. Addvibe’s track was found on an old harddisk and dates back a few years though. It’s playful in it’s use of clever placed samples to create the garage vibe.

Oscar Barila & Tatsu – Keep Your Word

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 15 Oct 2021 10:26:00 +0000

We have said it before and showed it to you all that we love collaborations between artists. Here’s yet another one to add to the list. Two Spanish artists, Oscar Barila & Tatsu, join forces to create Keep Your Word EP. From Valencia to Mallorca and back, with final destination Antwerp for the release. A hot release for sure with 2 top tracks battling for inclusion in your dj-sets.

GENTS153 – Oscar Barila & Tatsu – Keep Your Word EP

Keep Your Word & Polaris

Keep Your Word is the main track of this collaboration EP between Oscar Barila & Tatsu that grooves nicely with a spoken word sample over the beats and a lush pad that’s being automated/filtered in frequency. Simple but really effective in the forward motion of the track. Next up we have Polaris, again with a nice filtered and automated pad, but with a more punching bassline and cool vocal chop adding tension.

GENTS152 – Blue Chords – Shake Me Right EP

Shake Me Right

Blue Chords loves the keys/keyboard and it shows/it’s heard on all of his productions. Lush melodies and chord progressions underpin his tracks which he tops of with key solos of considerable length. Never boring, always exciting to hear, and oh so varied. The 3 tracks on his Shake Me Right EP capture this variety perfectly. The main title track is a jackin house bomb while I Don’t Wanna Give Up is more on a soulful house tip. Closing track Some Of Ya is the deeper cut on the EP. First and last track feature cheeky samples that connaisseurs should know.

Twolegs – Irreversible

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 09:13:00 +0000

We first featured Twolegs on the label with a remix for Addvibe’s single ‘I Want’ that proved to be very very loved and supported, which resulted in it staying in the deep house Top10 for a couple of weeks. We now have him back with original work spread over 2 different EP’s. This is the first one entitled Irreversible featuring 3 superbly deep tracks.

Col Lawton – You Can’t Take It

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 14:40:00 +0000

Col Lawton has got to be one of the hardest working upcoming producers of the past 2, maybe 3 years. He burst onto the scene, and has been putting out so much new material it’s hard to keep track. Quality of his productions has gone up and this was noticed by other label owners. He signed some stuff to Atjazz which is kinda big. Finally, after declining a couple of his demos – just because they didn’t fit our sound – we’ve got him onboard with You Can’t Take It.

GENTS150 – Col Lawton – You Can’t Take It EP

Walk To Your Own Beat

Col Lawton’s debut on the label is a fact. After plenty of demo submissions we finally agreed on the two-tracker You Can’t Take It with on the flip Walk To Your Own Beat. The latter title is exactly what Col does. He’s been ‘all-in’ for the past 2 to 3 years broadening his network, improving his skills in the studio and as a dj/labelowner, being actively involved in the scene. He’s got a broad range covered with his tracks although most could be easier categorized as ‘sounds like Naked Music’ (which are his own words). We’ll let you decide

Di Saronno – I Don’t Know Why I Love You

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 13:49:00 +0000

Italian Jackin house maestro Di Saronno debuts on the label with I Don’t Know Why I Love You. A solid 2 tracker that jacks from start to finish. Opening up with Pink Champagne the trend is immediately very clear. Funky, sample heavy up-tempo jackers.

GENTS149 – Di Saronno – I Don’t Know Why I Love You EP

Pink Champagne

Di Saronno aka Francesco Ferraro is on a mission to bring back the heat of the timeless disco inferno inside our hearts, as his Traxsource bio reads. A man always away from home sailing the 7 seas as his full time job, on a cruise ship. The free time he has, he spends creating these jackin house bombs in his cabin. He’s no stranger to a broad selection of record labels, small or big. Glad to have him on board with Pink Champagne & I Don’t Know Why I Love You.

Half Circuit Orchestra – Routine

The Dandy Gent — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 13:20:00 +0000

We’re sorta known for releasing up and coming as well as established artists. With Half Circuit Orchestra being added to the label roster with his debut single Routine we’ve added yet another Belgian artist. Routine is a nice (deep) housey track with a great vocal hook. Carefully arranged for maximum enjoyment.

Flashback: Belgian artist 22 Weeks released Hideaway a while ago

GENTS148 – Half Circuit Orchestra – Routine

Routine

Routine is Half Circuit Orchestra’s label debut single. Hovering between deep house and house with a superbly sung vocal by an unknown singer (no info received) and lovely vibe. His Traxsource bio reads the following: Doesn’t discriminate against any style, tempo or genre but for some reason always returns to house. We hope to see more from him.
