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…

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 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...

DIKSO 008 - V/A - Super Sound Single Volume 6

The last Dikso... for 2011... with an intercontinental selection: Social Disco Club from Portugal, Kitano (aka Andy Hart) from Australia, soho808 feat. Lydia Caesar from NYC and Satin Jackets from Germany.

All tracks in one go...

DIKSO008 - Super Sound Single Volume 6 by Dikso Records

...and for the very first time with individual video art for every single track:

---

A1 / Social Disco Club – You Got To Stay / TT 06:40

Yes, Dikso got him. After they have laid the baits out for such a long time, Humberto Matias from Portugal went finally on it and delivers a totally weird style bastard that defines disco house in a complete new way: House is not adopting disco anymore, disco is adopting house. Welcome to the Social Disco Club.

- DJ Ionik from Traveller / Kojak Giant Sounds: "Personally the best Dikso 12" yet - a true 4-tracker with not a filler in sight. 'You Got To Stay' will blow people away "
- Huxley: "Social disco club is big! will definitely be playing that."
- ShirKhan from Exploited Records: "The Social Disco Club Track is always in my box. Interesting marriage of UK Garage Bass-Sounds meets Disco. Love it."

---

A2 / Kitano – For The King / TT 07:10

A track like a fairytale. Imagine a proud father that sends his most beautiful daughter to the king’s castle. Her whole life, her education, everything has been arranged for the king. Surely the speaker in Kitano’s track means something totally different but the story could have been so so nice… At least as nice as the track.



- Ali Ooft: "Feeling the Kitano joint the most, thats some lo-slung biz right there! Dikso keeps on rolling!"
- Chris Lattner: "For the king is awesome!!!!!! a real killer!"
- Homework: "Especially Kitano's For The King is our cup of tea. That special Dikso flavor, as always."

---

B1 / soho808 – Turning Slow feat. Lydia Caesar / TT 06:05

Bootsy, fasten your seatbelts, soho808 are back. After they led Dikso with “Get Up Disco” from Super Sound Single #4 to their first feature on a Fabric longplayer ever, here is the follow up. More funk than disco and lots more catchy than ever, Nathaniel and Dave teamed up with this so great chanteuse called Lydia Caesar and created a high potential dancefloor filler for all the ladies. The boys will follow.for sure!

- Daniel from Trickski: "Another great package once again!" and Yannick added: "Only burners!!!! you dikso guys are really growing stronger with every release! soho 808 is my fave here. thanks!"
- Larse: "Hard to pick a fav, think it's the soho808 jam!! Boogie Oogiee"
- Sasse: "Turning into a Soho808 fan, nice dirty groove going on here again, will play !"

---

B2 / Satin Jackets – Girl, Forever / TT 07:25

As always Dikso keeps the B2 position for the pearls. Satin Jackets tried to put as much romance as possible in every single sound, even in the name of the track. Don’t call it kitschy, this is the perfect first aid against all the dark feelings, depressions and cold days that we will have to survive the next months in the northern hemisphere. Pure love!


- Craig Smith from 6th Borough Project: "Loving all the cuts, hard to pick a fave, probably Satin Jackets on initial listens."
- Dirt Crew: "Big up for the Satin Jackets groove ! smooth as hell :)"
- Kiko Navarro: "Loving the first chords on Satin Jackets, loving how they develope the track, very nice surprise to close the EP. Thanks a lot!"
