SWEET BREEZE SOUND

Marc Meistro

Ghetto Red Hot / Hold Yuh

Dancehall is a vast world with many classics and two of them get some serious attention here from label head Marc Meistro on his Sweet Breeze Sound outlet. Up first is 'Ghetto Red Hot' rebuilt from the ground up with a new production that captures the energy and appeal of the original lyrics while giving the beat a fresh new perspective. On the reverse is a rework of a huge 2010 summer anthem that here brings in Diwali-esque percussion as well as big synths and unstoppable momentum. Two sizzlers to crank up loud.

Lildave215

Music Takes Me / Carnaval Del Tiempo

LILDAVE215 is a proud Philly representative who channels funk, soul and acid jazz into his delicious take on disco. For this new outing on the young but already promising Sweet Breeze Sound label, he kicks off with 'Music Takes Me' which rides on slinky drums that slide irresistibly on nice dusty cymbals and has funky riffs down low. The vocals add simple but effective colour that adds to the feel-good nature. 'Carnaval Del Tiempo' is more Latin influenced, with prickly percussion and big vocals, even bigger drums and sax energy all added for when the sun shines down hot.

King Most / Marc Meistro

Money In The Bag / Like A Moth To A Flame

Earlier in the year, Washington, D.C-based Sol Power Allstars launched the Sweet Breeze Sound imprint, seemingly as a vehicle for oddball re-edits and nostalgic, sample-rich productions. Handling side A on release number three is San Fran's King Most, who crafts a hybrid 80s electro/proto-house jam out of echoing electronics, bobdypopping beats, and all manner of effects-laden samples (including a wealth from InDeep classic 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life'). Over on side B, Sol Power's own Marc Meistro takes over, laying down his own sparse, lo-fi, analogue-rich tribute to electro-era synth disco that once again nods to a variety of cult classics from the early 1980s.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Flirting between labels like a WAG let loose in Ibiza for a hen do; King Most graces Sweet Breeze Sound for two 'megamix' styled edits / mashups. Altogether now, "You can't hide, you can't hide your love, away from me, from meeeeee"!

Glenn Echo & Daniel Meinecke

Home Rule / Love Letter

Following their recent appearance covering Sylvester and Patrick Cowley's 'I Need Somebody to Love Tonight' on Rocksteady Disco, the enigmatic cosmic pairing of Glenn Echo & Daniel Meinecke channel deep, shimmering disco and nu-disco vibes while calling on ethereal, cosmic textures. The throbbing 'Home Rule' opens with a warm, hypnotic pulse and well-worked vocals that deliver recognisable rhymes, while 'Love Letter' slows down to a heavyweight crawl with warped and twisted pads and plenty of texture. Both tunes here highlight the duo's skill at blending dancefloor immediacy with atmospheric nuance and feel like a journey through mirrored lights and late-night reverie.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: With a truely cosmic swagger, gently laced with acid and soundsystem idents, not to mention a seriously funky flavour, Glenn Echo & Daniel Meinecke get the party in full swing with two heavy hitters.

Tom Of Brooklyn

Running From My Love / Spend All My Time Loving You

Brooklyn's elusive Tom returns with the first release on Sweet Breeze Sound, a new label launched by Washington, DC's Marc Meistro of Sol Power All-Stars, aka Glenn Echo. He has already turned heads with a fine set of 12"s on Razor-N-Tape and Sol Power Sound, and here brings some dubby disco grooves and infectious samples. Side A leans into loved-up feels, looping an irresistible 80s r&b vocal over bouncing bass and layers of percussion. The B-side shifts to a more melancholic mood and is run through with a feeling of longing through a single repeated phrase supported by deep dub bass and driving disco rhythm. This is a great inaugural release from a label sure to become essential.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: My ears instantly perked up when I heard "Running From My Love". One of those sunny, late afternoon soundsystem soul bangers that'll get everyone around the speaker stacks quicker than you can say free disco biscuits. I could listen to that hook for eternity.
