Anthony Naples, Archie Pelago, Dark Sky, and More to Appear on Upcoming Mister Saturday Night Compilation

Directly on the heels of its XLR8Rpodcast (which we first shared earlier this morning), NYC crew and label Mister Saturday Night has revealed the details of Brothers and Sisters, a comprehensive release which will gather tracks from Anthony Naples, Archie Pelago, Dark Sky, Hank Jackson, Gunnar Haslam, and more.

Made up of a mixture of new productions exclusive to the collection and those previously only available on the label’s past vinyl efforts, the imprint is quick to note that Brothers and Sisters is not merely a compilation but rather is “an end-to-end experience,” carefully curated and overseen by Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter (pictured above), the DJs who founded the Brooklyn-based Mister Saturday Night loft party in 2009, and the label of the same name in 2012. Set to drop on June 23, the 25-track collection will see a a release as a double CD package and also as a vinyl LP package, which will house nine of Brothers and Sisters‘ exclusive new tracks. (One of the new tunes, Dark Sky’s “IYP,” was featured in this morning’s podcast.) The upcoming effort’s artwork and tracklist are included below.

Stream a Floating Points-Produced Track from Fatima’s Upcoming LP

The release date is rapidly approaching for Yellow Memories, Fatima‘s highly anticipated debut LP featuring production work from the likes of Knx., Flako, and Floating Points, among others. In preperation for its imminent release, Fatima has offered up a stream of “Do Better,” a slick joint that finds Floating Points layering an orchestrated bed of soul-jazz horns and live-played drums.

Following a stream of album track “Ridin Round” last week, Fatima’s “Do Better” tune is now available to check out in full below; her Yellow Memories LP is set to see a release on May 12 via Eglo.

VesperTown “Royal Flash (Tokyo Hands Remix)”

As Tel Aviv-based DJ/producer VesperTown prepares to mark his debut for the Donky Pitch label with the forthcoming Kaleidoscope EP, we’re treated to the EP’s closing track, a remix from fellow Donky Pitch affiliate Tokyo Hands. Taking on VesperTown’s “Royal Flash” production, the vibrant rework opens up with resonant chimes before moving into a dancier kit of gleaming chords and choppy vocals. Tokyo Hands’ cheerful remix maintains the playful tone of VesperTown’s original track throughout, buoyantly jaunting across one spirited synth tone to the next until the song’s closing moments. Containing this remix and four originals from VesperTown, the effervescent Kaleidoscope EP is slated to drop on May 19.

Locked Groove Readies New 12”, Shares Preview

After releasing his Brown EP via the WPH label earlier this year, Belgian producer—and former XLR8Rpodcast contributor—Locked Groove (a.k.a. Tim Van de Meutter) has announced he will release a new 12” via his own eponymous label next month. The forthcoming “Rave Alerts” b/w “Dialogues” 12″ is said to serve as a follow-up to last year’s “Waves” b/w “Shirts Off” single (which also appeared on his Locked Groove imprint) by again “tipping a conspicuous cap to [his] Belgian heritage.”

Before Locked Groove’s upcoming 12” sees its official release on May 5, the dependable producer has provided a preview of both machine-fueled tracks, available to stream below.

Joakim Shares New Track from Upcoming LP Featuring Luke Jenner of The Rapture

Having detailed his upcoming Tropics of Love LP earlier this month, genre-bending French producer Joakim (pictured above) has let loose a stream of album cut “Bring Your Love,” featuring the vocals of The Rapture‘s Luke Jenner. Appearing early on in Tropics of Love, the airy production puts Jenner’s voice front and center, as Joakim unrolls a bed of tropical-tinged melodies and lush synth chords, which sit a top a bed of light drum machine rhythms and a steady stream of percussion.

Joakim’s latest track can be streamed in full below before the veteran talent’s upcoming LP sees a full release on May 26. “Bring Your Love” is also set to be released as its own EP in the coming weeks featuring additional remixes from Sam Tiba, Young Marco, and William Burnett (a.k.a. Willie Burns).

Mumdance to Release New EP via Rinse

Shortly following his Springtime EP and a collaborative 12” alongside Pinch, London producer Mumdance (a.k.a. Jack Adams) has announced news of a forthcoming record for Rinse. Adams’ upcoming four-track effort is set to drop on June 16, and will feature the MC Novelist and UK talent Spyro in its run. Though the EP appears to be untitled as of yet, Mumdance has posted the record’s grimey opening cut, “Take Time,” as a preview. That track is available to stream via the player below, where the complete tracklist for Mumdance’s new EP has also been included. (via FACT)

SPF666 “Scorpion Cache (Commune Remix)”

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, SPF666 is set to drop his debut EP next month via the newly minted Club Chemtrail label, an imprint the budding producer co-runs alongside fellow Northwest talent Commune. Pulled from the upcoming Scorpion Cache EP is Commune’s remix of the effort’s title track, which focuses on tough club sonics as it weaves through a series of space-age FX and ghostly bell melodies. With its efforts aimed squarely on the dancefloor, Commune’s rework comes loaded on the bottom end, with its heavy kicks joined by layers of intricate percussion and a relentless procession of thickly rendered snares. SPF666’s Scorpion Cache EP officially drops on May 15, but before then, a preview stream of the seven-track affair can be heard after the jump.

Stream a Track from Bicep’s Upcoming 12″ for Aus

Earlier this month, Biceprevealed plans to drop its next effort via Will Saul’s Aus imprint—a label the pair has appeared on twice before. With that 12″ still a few weeks away from seeing a release, Bicep have shared a full stream of the record’s b-side cut, “NRG106.”

Spanning just over seven minutes, “NRG106” is an even-keeled bit of dancefloor fare, one which comes draped in lush, warbly synth tones and digs deep with an analog bassline and machine-steady rhythmic momentum. Serving as the b-side to Bicep’s upcoming “Circles” b/w “NRG106″ 12”, the pair’s newest production can be streamed in full below.

Four Tet Announces Residency on NTS Radio

Once again taking to Twitter to make the announcement, UK producer Four Tet (a.k.a. Kieran Hebden) is set to begin a month-long residency at online radio outpost NTS. Beginning next week, Hebden will be heading into the NTS Studio every Tuesday afternoon in May, playing tunes and holding down the airwaves from 2 to 4 p.m. BST. Given the fanfare that has greeted Four Tet’s previous appearances on Rinse FM and other radio outlets, it’s a safe bet that plenty of people will be tuning in.

Podcast 340: Mister Saturday Night

Over the last five years, Mister Saturday Night has become something of a Brooklyn institution, a well-curated, well-organized party run by a couple of bonafide music lovers, Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin. Guided by an open-minded musical vision (albeit one that leans heavily toward, house, techno, and disco), a real reverence for the salad days of NYC nightlife, and a concrete idea of what a party should—and should not—be, the two DJs have steadily built a substantial following on the dancefloor. Moreover, the two have earned a real sense of respect from their peers, especially those who appreciate Mister Saturday Night’s attention to detail and its founders’ obvious passion for their craft. In 2012, Carter and Harkin expanded their efforts and launched their own label, Mister Saturday Night Records, kicking off its run with Anthony Naples’ Mad Disrespect 12″, which was widely hailed as one of the year’s best records. Since then, the high-quality stream of music has continued unabated, as the young label has offered up efforts from the likes of Archie Pelago, Dark Sky, Hank Jackson, Lumigraph, Alex Burkat, and a slew of other promising acts. With each new release, Mister Saturday Night’s legacy swells just a little bit more, which is likely why the duo has increasingly found itself performing at other people’s parties around the globe. Given that, we were anxious to hear what Carter and Harkin could do within the context of the XLR8R podcast series, and the pair has obliged our curiosity with an exclusive mix.

Clocking in at more than 75 minutes, the podcast finds Carter and Harkin starting slow, but the duo gradually warms up the proceedings by thickening the percussion and slowly migrating toward more kicking house and techno sounds. Their path may be filled with long, loping twists and turns, but the two DJs are far too skilled to get bogged down in any particular groove. Essentially, the mix is a microcosm of a Mister Saturday Night party, as Carter and Harkin are just an interested in constructing an engaging journey as they are in dropping good tunes. It’s a simple formula, yet one that’s forgotten all too often by DJs, particularly those who spend most of their time in the studio. Carter and Harkin have logged more than their fair share of hours in the club, and they’re smart enough to put all of that experience to good use.
