DIKSO 011 - V/A - Super Sound Single Volume 8 - OUT NOW!

Dikso is back after the summer break with some new stuff for lovers and beloved. We were a hairbreadth away from our first strictly German Super Sound Single but we couldn’t resist to sign Shur-i-kan’s slowmo romeo called “In Love”. Also in Love…: Larse from Dortmund, Daniel from the Dikso headquarter here in Berlin and another "Dortmunder", Satin Jackets, who completes the hat-trick with his third achievement on Dikso.

Wanna take a listen what they are talking about?

A1 / Shur-i-kan – In Love/ TT 05:28


Dikso has featured so many young and talented artists from all over the world, it was only a question of time until the veterans also want to show that they are still top notch. Welcome Shur-i-kan from London, the man who was responsible for most of the first releases on Jimpster’s Frerange label. We are really proud to have this outstanding artist on board and we are also proud of adding another entry to his impressive back catalogue on discogs.


A2 / Larse - Tonite / TT 06:24


Remember “So Much Fun” from 2011’s Super Sound Single Vol. 5? This one got so rare in the meantime, even on discogs has not been a single item for sale in the last months This time he is hitting us up with his new boogie funk monster “Tonite”. Watch out, there is a lot of more stuff from him to come by the end of this year…


B1 / Daniel Solar – Burning Up / TT 06:23


Mr. Dikso himself is burning it up. Combining an early eighties funk track with some warm house piano vibes will set the girls on fire. And no, this one is not only for the pyromaniacs among you…


B2 / Satin Jackets feat. Linda Mathews – Never Say Never / TT 08:27


Woohoo, he is back even one more time, and he is still not alone. Together with Linda Mathews, Satin Jackets brings us once again a brilliant piece of dance music, inspired by the seventies and engineered in the present. Maybe this is one of the candidates for an edit in 2035…

DiKSO Podcast 13 - Magnier [House Of Disco]

Just another Summer Of Love...

As you may have noticed already, we at Dikso headquarters are totally in love with The House Of Disco, David Magnier's label for the future in house and disco. To fill the summer with some love Dikso and The House Of Disco created a label-mash-up-compilation called House Of Dikso that topped the charts at Junodownload and was also pretty successful on all the other platforms like Beatport and Traxsource. But this was not their first collaboration, Daniel and Andi's disco house roller "Seventh" was also released under the House Of Disco banner and can still be found in Beatport's Nu-Disco top 100 (for almost 2 months and counting...).

Now, here is the return visit: Magnier on Dikso. Have fun with 60 minutes of pure bliss he sent over the channel to Berlin, and now from Berlin right into your hearts. Tracklisting is still shut away, only MI5 knows!

HODDIK1 - House Of Dikso Compilation - OUT NOW!

What happens when two of the freshest labels join forces........this, the "House of Dikso". While so many labels chose to compete and run parallel to each other the boys over at Dikso and House of Disco Records have decided to bridge the gap and work together to bring us 12 of the best tracks they can get their mits on. Rammed full of emerging talent and established producers 'House of Dikso', the first in a series of label collaborations, aims to showcase sounds from the spectrum of disco and house, remaining ever optimistic and uplifting. Initially a digital release the 4 most popular tracks will then be pressed onto a limited edition vinyl. If the history of these two labels is anything to go by this will have more gems on it then Lady Gaga's bra.

---

01 / Finnebassen - Bleedin Out / TT 7:12

Norways rising star has been making waves with his 2 latest releases, one of which topped beatports charts for weeks. His style is pure atmosphere and almost eerie in nature, Bleedin Out reinforces his sound. This track is stripped down to essential elements leaving the vocals to stand out and the bassline to ripple through your sensibilities.

   

---

02 / Nhan Solo – Hey Girl! / TT 6:32

Recently providing tracks to Hamburg's 'DIYnamic' label and Dikso has propelled Nhan Solo into to path of many house-heads. This offering is a more low slung affair, sultry and loaded with spadefuls of 70's porno sleaze this one should make it into your sex mix.

   

---

03 / Luminodisco - Dreaming Siam / TT 6:58

Having previously released on House of Disco Records Luminodisco's adept production skills have already been established. This time around he's given us a meaty, woozy, charming track that rolls over and over, developing more personality with every revolution. Its dense sound punctuated by key changes and a tonal but addictive vocal sample.

   

---

04 / Daniel Solar – Hush / TT 6:19

Fresh off the back of a release on Instruments of Rapture, Daniel Solar's track 'Hush' is a moody pulsing house excursion. Twirling vocals and a muscular bassline and kick give this track a hypnosis and drive that is testament to his production skill and detriment to you remaining sitting down.

   

---

05 / Monitor 66 – Masséna / TT 4:56

House of Disco's latest find Monitor 66, hailing from Sweden, make sunset inspired music. This melodic laid-back track will make sunset last a lot longer than it should. The arrangement of this track makes it a standout soundtrack to your summer. Using a popular vocal from the 90's to tease your memory, can you guess what it is?

   

---

06 / Andrea Britton & Alexander Roggendorf - Not Before I See You First (Andi de Luxe Remix) / TT 6:59

This remix by the other half of the Dikso duo injects some gloss into the compilation with some saturated sunny notes. A poppy vocal is the catalyst for the feel of this track. Its is the kind of thing that goes well with sand, soundsystems and sunglasses.

   

---

07 / Alex Niggemann & Daniel Solar feat. Natalie Claude - Moments / TT 6:11

Having just released his album Alex Niggemann has teamed up with Dikso bossman Daniel Solar and honey voiced Natalie Claude to deliver an uptempo but classy bomb with soul. With a grounded warm vocal and spacey synths you find yourself suspended in mid-air somewhere between the two, with a smile on your face.

   

---

08 / Tesla Boy - In Your Eyes (Satin Jackets Remix) / TT 8:29

Russia's Tesla Boy and Satin Jackets seems like a perfect match. This epic track provokes a real emotional response, Tesla Boys vocals lend themselves perfectly to Satin Jackets detailed production style to create something that can make a grown man leak a sneaky tear.

   

---

09 / Unsui – Anata / TT4:22

Emerging talent Unsui creates a vintage but lush soundscape of contemplation house. An insanely catchy groove is pierced by a synth that's straight out of Blade Runner. Not in a rush this tracks confidence and dynamics clear your head while at the same time making your hairs stand on end.

   

---

10 / Dublin Aunts - Near Me Now / TT 6:13

Melbourne based duo Dublin Aunts are on the rise. 'Near me now' is a boogie infused house stomper. Strong Hi-Hats and a hooky bassline proves that you don't need to over complicate a track, quality over quantity. Uplifting synths and 'that vocal' will you you boogieing into the early hours.

   

---

11 / Satin Jackets - I Like To Watch You Sleep / TT 9:18

Being the only artists to release on both House of Disco and Dikso Satin Jackets is one artist that simply had to be involved in this compilation. All of his tracks are impossibly warm, forging a smile on the most stringent of faces. 'I like to watch you sleep' is a lullaby of optimism and charm.

   

---

12 / Volta Cab - What It Feels Like / TT 3:32

“Prolific” doesn't even come close to describing Volta Cab's output. He takes a break from his harder, throwback house productions to woo us with 'What if feels like'. This track is all about atmosphere, it replicates the moment before you lean in to kiss someone special for the first time. So pucker up.

DiKSO Podcast 12 - Damian Uzabiaga

Dikso all over the world...

With podcast number nine we presented a young talent from Greece that Marc Poppcke met at one of his gigs. A super nice guy with a wonderful taste in music and style.

This time it is Daniel who brings us another guy he met at the other side of the globe, Damian Uzabiaga from Playa del Carmen, Mexico. After mexican dream team Balcazar & Sordo delivered our personal summer anthem on the latest edition of "Super Sound Singles", here is the next one from the land of cacti and tequila. Like Balcazar & Sordo, Damian represents a new generation in central american house... Hold it! We now all these different styles of US american house and some latin flavoured stuff that can be roughly assigned to south america. But central america, mexican house music? OK, maybe it's time for a new chapter in house music, welcome to the house of maya...

DIKSO 010 - V/A - Super Sound Single Volume 7

This is number 10 - how time flies when you're having fun. But this is not the right time to get sentimental because there are four great new tracks for you. Ultrafunkular House from Detroit, ah no... from the land of the rising sun... ah, wrong again... it's from Berlin. And we have label head Daniel Solar collaborating with Huxley, one of UK's definite talents in deeper House. Not to forget Balcazar & Sordo, the intercontinental contribution from Mexico and Satin Jackets. He is about to return to Dikso. Could you celebrate a 10th record more impressive?

A1 / Nhan Solo - Supervisor / TT 05:52


Wow, isn't it one of these million dollar Detroit house classics from discogs? No, it is not and no, it didn't sample such. Nhan Solo an up-and-coming talent from the land of the rising sun created a funky slam dunk for the disco dancefloor with at least one woman on it, stand back and watch them come. This is definitely the supervisor... synthesizer... vitalizer... womanizer... what did he say? Doesn't matter - all that matters is that pure organic bassline groove which drives you on and on....!


A2 / Huxley & Daniel Solar feat. Miss Bee – Dancing With Your Heart / TT 06:43


Label commander Solar and chief officer Huxley from Tsuba and 20:20 Vision bring you something from outer space: Miss Bee. Her voice is so shy and fragile... when she is asking for the next dance you cannot refuse her, especially when she wants your heart. So open it up wide and let all this spring fever in. Green trees, colourful flowers, the happy sound of playing children... Oh my god, this is true, it's springtime. Hopefully it is not a programme on the holodeck, this must be real.


B1 / Balcazar & Sordo – Stay With Me / TT 07:31


Here we have some relaxed mexican vibe: Balcazar & Sordo, well known from No.19 Music and Dirt Crew with a track like a summer breeze, creating a nice and lovely atmosphere with a so so beautiful pianob and voices that are sounding like the Sirens from the Odyssey. OK, I have never heard the Sirens before, but I bet they sound like this.


B2 / Satin Jackets feat. Natalie Conway – One More Chance / TT 08:10


Woohoo, he is back, and he is not alone. Together with Natalie Conway, Satin Jackets beams us right back into that time most of us takes all our inspiration from. But this not an edit, this is fucking real, this is real music. We are really, really proud to have them on board. Watch out, there's more to come...

- Jacques Renault: "Go go dikso - will play these guys for sure"

- Sasse: "Nice vibes, like robs remix and the homework perspective"
- Kiko Navarro: "Dikso is one of the labels that when i get a promo there is a big smile on my face, i like the way you are taking care of the high quality on each release. On This case my favourite is the Duff Disco, loving the deep chords and the atmosphere it creates."
- Adana Twins: "All tracks are super nice! Will play for sure."
- The Dead Rose Music Company: "Huge release, KRL is on fire as is Rob. boom"
- Tornado Wallace: "Liking the KRL remix. Thanks!"
- Norm de Plume: "Really like A1 & A2 nice and deep. Will be playing these two" and 20 minutes later he added: "Nice EP. A3 nice too , will play all 3..."
- Bicep: "KRL kills it, lovin the homework perspective" - David Magnier from The House Of Disco: "Really brilliant release! The A side totally blew me away! Well done guys, will be playing the hell out of these"

- Show-B: "Booooom... another excellent release. really diggin A1 and B2... will be in one of the next CBLS. cheers."
- D-Pulse: "Daniel Solar & Andi de Luxe remix is what we need" Also some quotes from the blogosphere:
- keep-it-deep.blogspot.com: "The owners of Dikso recordings do a great job and release outstanding, genre-crossing music between lush disco and bouncey house."

P.S.: When I was writing this article, I had a first listening session with the final remix for the digital add-on package. Daniel and Aniya's track "Can You Really Know" got a big apple treatment from 50% of the soho808 guys, Dave Robertson and his girlfriend Alyssa. Must be a really harmonic relationship, the remix is unbelievable. Full of mystery and full of love, what is not a contradiction in terms. Love has always been a mystery to me. but it's there, for everyone of us. You don't believe in that? Can you really know...?

Andi 'the Sunday preacher man' de Luxe

DIKSO009 - V/A - Super Sound Single Remixes

Welcome to Dikso’s unbelievable before-and-after-show. Four contestants and four remix teams, four original stories that had to be continued and four results that had to be pressed on vinyl. And Dikso’s very own Daniel Solar was such a chatterbox that he produced a fifth story that will follow as a digital bonus.

A1 / Autodeep & Romorri - Make You Mine (KRL Remix)

I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine… That’s what Romorri said on Super Sound Single #4. And KRL, well known from the almighty Wolf Music Recordings label, beams him in a situation that made all dreams come true. The courtship has succeeded and Romorri, Autodeep & KRL are going mad on it. Definitely the most crazy piece of house music Dikso has ever released!



A2 / Larse – So Much Fun (Roberto Rodriguez Remix)

With “So Long” Larse is in everybody’s record case, Traktor playlist or download queue at the moment. On Dikso’s fifth Super Sound Single he delivered with “So Much Fun” his probably most disco- and funk-influenced track for years. Roberto Rodriguez from Finland added some straightness and a cool nordic attitude. So much rolling…



B1 / Duff Disco – I Won’t Forget (Homework Perspective)

Also more straightness for Duff Disco. Homework from Amsterdam touched his original in a very respectful way and present their deep and dope dancefloor perspective on Duff Disco’s original.



B2 / soho808 – Turning Slow feat. Lydia Caesar (Daniel Solar & Andi de Luxe Remix)

The hosts of Dikso take the back seat called B2. They sent Lydia and the boys from soho808 to the classic NY house scene before KBE Giuliani cleaned the city…
