Dikso Records 004 - Super Sound Single Volume 4

OUT OUT OUT... we are so so happy to announce our fourth little baby, Super Sound Single Volume 4 with four new tracks to warm your heart, kick your ass, shake your hips and perhaps all in one.

Welcome Ali OOFT!, the producer of maybe the best MJ edit ever, who delivers all but disco and edits. Welcome Autodeep from our home town Hannover who were teaming up with the former NY Broadway musical actor Robb Morris. Welcome soho808, not from the Broadway but from NYC, with their vinyl debut and... Welcome my good friend and Dikso partner Daniel Solar.

A1: OOFT! - Hit For Six

Hypnotic slowmo builder with a nice junoesque analog feel that builds and builds and builds. Quality work from Glasgow's Ali Ooft, bosom buddy of The Revenge and label manager of Foto Recordings and L.E.S.S. Recordings.

A2: Autodeep & RoMorri - Make You Mine

Hannover's Autodeep teaming up with falsetto voice Romorri from Cologne for something deep and slinky that will attract the girls and some boys as well. And sometimes a 303 is able to add what words can't express. Erotic stuff...

B1: Daniel Solar - Baby's Tears

Dikso goes peak time! Driving disco house from Dikso landlord Daniel Solar. Nice vocal breaks and smooth filter action for ultimate dancefloor pleasure, BAM!

But I saved perhaps the best for last..... and thank you for introducing me to something new in soho808! What a beautiful track and easily the standout of the EP for me!

DiKSO Podcast 08 - Carina Ramos

Back to the roots, the roots of today's dance music and a way of appreciating it in the right way. To be honest, Daniel and me are part of the digital zeitgeist for years now, but I really, really like those people who are able to present good music in its purest form: two Mk-IIs, some pieces of holy wax and a lot of love and devotion for the soul in all of that.

Carina Ramos is one of those DJs that are able to do this, to her audience of scotish homies as well as at countless venues in the UK. Her musical role models were the godfathers of house and disco, Larry Levan, David Mancuso or Danny Krivit, to name only a few of her heroes You can discover these influences in every single of these 64 minutes full of soulful late seventies and early eighties disco mixed up with some nice edits and updates of that sound. Get ready for the soul in the soul...
