FCL is back on 2020Vision with ‘Holding Our Nick’
FCL, the team that brought the world "It's You" in its many forms over the course of the last year, has returned to the spotlight with a release package for "Holding Our Nick," out this week on vinyl on 2020Vision Recordings. Like previous releases, FCL shows the beauty in simplicity -- "Holding Our Nick" in its original form focuses on core principles of house music. Sometimes a kick drum, catchy vocal sample, and a square synth is all it really takes to build up a track. The label has only uploaded previews of these tracks for now, but listen to the original below, along with remixes from Locked Groove and Frits Wentink.
Little Boots, Maya Jane Coles, and Simian Mobile Disco release ‘Superstitious Heart’ EP
The blogosphere caught wind of the collaboration between Maya Jane Coles, vocalist Victoria Hekseth of Little Boots, and James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco less than three weeks ago, and this dream team's EP -- which they are releasing under the moniker LB -- is out this week on 2020Vision.
Preview ‘Superstitious Heart’ EP from Maya Jane Coles, Simian Mobile Disco, and Little Boots
"Er?!?" was my initial reaction when I heard Maya Jane Coles was teaming up with James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco and Victoria Hekseth of Little Boots. Fortunately, however, it seems the formula for an amazing collaboration is most definitely good producer + good producer + good vocalist.
Crazy P – Heartbreaker (Original + Remixes)
We don't talk about too much live dance musicians, but Crazy P is definitely a group not to be forgotten. The five member ensemble first banded together almost twenty years ago and in some shape or form have been creating house-disco records for the modern age ever since. The lastest effort, out this week on 2020Vision Recordings, is quite honestly one of my favorites of the year.
