Recently profiled, unanimously and rightfully acclaimed imprint 100% SILK apparently feels no urge to slow down in 2012, so here’s a quick overview on what’s going on in LA’s silky headquarters.
Out now are two delicious 12 inch records, the first one by SFV Acid aka Dublab DJ Zane Reynolds. Listen to the pretty classic and funky house jam “Knights” from his Grown EP below:
The other one is the Just Browsing 12 inch by Oakland’s Andre Ferreira aka Bobby Browser. In particular b-side cut “No Appointments” is intriguing, featuring vocals by the amazing SF artist Mara Barrenbaum aka Group Rhoda (whose awesome “At the Dark” you need to check out right now). But a-side “Smooth Cruise” is very nice, too:
Next, yesterday Fact pointed to “Jack Rollin’” by London’s Fort Romeau, the solo project by La Roux keyboardist (huh?) Mike Norris. The track is an instant call to the dancefloor yet rolls along very smoothly, all in all probably the best and most subtly sophisticated track of the lot. Fort Romeau’s debut LP Kingdoms will be put out by 100% SILK on March 6.
Finally, long-standing NFOP fav Coyote Clean Up has also turned to straight, extremely compelling house music, and thanks to Rose Quartz and Friendship Bracelet, word is out that he’s releasing his forthcoming Frozen Solid 12 inch via Amanda Brown’s label, too. Last night, FBUS tipped us off to the brand new video of album track “At Home”, directed by Steven Hamilton. Watch it below.
