[GRAN 024] Trujillo - Believe In Luv EP

http://www.junodownload.com/products/trujillo-believe-in-luv-ep/2356999-02/?ref=losgrandes&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral

Los Grandes proudly presents a new release from the great Trujillo. 'Believe In Luv EP' is about sensitivenes and emotional slomo disco house. Two gems slowly baked to make your body move elegantly to their deep groove. Believe in music, believe in love.

Juno Download review: "It's Joropo dances all round as acclaimed Venezuelan producer Trujillo finally follows up 2012's hugely popular Acapulco Gold with 'Believe In Luv". With a sleeve like this he's already made believers of most of us, but he doesn't stop there; the title track is a seductive electro-houser with gentle chords, ascending guitar licks and soulful male & female vocals - in other words, the music of love. The smoochy vibes continue on his blissed-out, reggae-lite swirly version of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing". Hot!"

[GRAN 022] B Jam - Accelerate


Los Grandes proudly presents B JAM 'Accelerate'. For this occassion the master of grooveness speed up the rythm moving confortably from 115 to 122 BPM's and proving he's more than capable to make us sweat all night long riding to his genuine style. Four funky disco fillers for your and the crowd's delight.

Artwork by Barry Fell.

Juno Download review: "Edinburgh-based B-Jam has previously released some seriously hot, party-friendly edits on Superbreak. Here, he shifts focus slightly, delivering a quarter of driving, sample-heavy disco-house cuts that sit somewhere between Soundstream, Tiger and Woods and the kind of hands-in-the-air fodder that was once the preserve of Joey Negro's Z Records. There's a baggy sweetness to opener "Make It", its loopy nature well disguised by some brilliantly wide-eyed horns and classic soul vocals. "The Need of Women", based around similar source material, increases the energy levels two-fold, while "Such A Glue" gains much of its power from a combination of a killer disco-funk groove and judicious use of filters. Closer "The Situation", meanwhile, sounds like an end-of-night anthem in waiting."

[GRAN 017] Black Lace Vol 5


Los Grandes present their fifth volume from the Black Lace serie. As usual we are gathering the best re-edits of funk, disco and AOR we have found, mixing very well known names with some newcomers with great edition skills and taste. We hope you enjoy this jam brought by Brevil, DJ Butcher, Vinyl Addicted, PCJ Project, Jay Ru, Nicko, Craxi Disco and Dynamicron .
JAM!

Juno Download review: "Nope, this ain't the return of mulleted 80s duo Black Lace, it's the latest comp from Dynamicron's Latino-centric nu-disco label Los Grandes. Once again they've searched high and low to gather the hottest re-edits. Highlights this time include Brevil's sultry sweaty "Sexy", Vinyladdicted's shocking percussion-led rework of 'cough', Jimmy Nail's "Ain't No Doubt", PCJ's baddass 70s disco rock freakout "I Like The Sound", DJ Butcher's faithful take on Mister Flaggio's Italo disco masterpiece "Take A Chance", and Craxi Disco's seductive and proggy synth-disco epic "Jerusalem"."

[GRAN 016] Chewy Rubs - Chewy Tools


Los Grandes is glad to present the last release on 2012: Chewy Rubs 'Chewy Tools'. A four tracks EP gathering disco tools specially cooked and baked by Chewy Rubs, mysterious editor/remixer from the U.K. This release exposures perfectly Chewy Rub's style, wich can be describe as a mix of "fat disco/funky basslines, a fine vocal stab and just damn clean melodic mash-ups", as Chewy  himself said; All this firmly delivered at 120 bpm. Don't miss the chance of blasting the audience with these four tools on your N.Y.E. party!
Los Grandes family wish you a great 2013 full of love and good music!

[GRAN 015] Groovedown - Edits To Remember


Los Grandes is gladly presenting the second release from the greek producer Groovedown a.k.a. Alex Kokkis. This EP is truly the essence of Groovedown; four re-edits between 96 and 110 bpm's full of groove, tastefully picked and reinterpreted. These four cuts (mostly Moodymann and LTJ - Xperience influeced in terms of production) drive us from the mellowness of Nixon, to the western aroma of Walk to Mississippi, passing througn the deepness of Midnight or the heavy sounds and passional vocals of Baby (I Love Touging You). 
Groovedown is a communication weapon to keep the old roots alive. Proof of that are not only Edits To Remember but his previous release (Superbreak Presents Groovedown), his appearances on This Is Superbreak, Black Lace Vol 3 and Black Lace Vol 4, and all the tracks featuring on his soundcloud.
The splendid cover has been designed by Eduardo Del Pozo a.k.a Light Spectrum based in Barcelona, designer and worldwide renowned dj due to his brilliant monthly mixes. Among his latest works you can find the exquisite design for Ilya Santana 'A Western Tale'.

Juno Download review: "Los Grandes has enjoyed an impressive 2012, releasing a mix of lovingly crafted edits, seductive slo-mo disco originals and starlight disco/house fusion. Here, they round off the year with a selection of slinky reworks from previously unknown scalpel jockey Groovedown. The EP begins with "Nixon", a sweet, summery combination of cut glass strings, loose grooves and soft focus jazz guitar solos. "Walk To Mississippi" injects a touch of Cajun-spiced delta blues into proceedings, before "Baby (I Love Touching You)" slowly builds into a hustling disco-funk beast. Best of all, though, is closer "Midnight", a moonlit stroll through filter disco territory with only a large bag of MDMA powder for company."

[GRAN 012] Future Feelings - Funk EP



We gladly present Future Feelings (aka Fernando Dimare).This brilliant producer from Mexico really knows how to deal with the retro feeling and futuristic cosmic sounds combo. His instrumentation is clearly inspired by 70's and 80's disco/funk bands and just a listening is needed to realize he really knows how to get that genuine groove all over his original productions. On the other hand, his technical skills make him more than capable of getting a bright but solid fat sounding and creating superb arragements. Pretty sure people will be writting and talking about Future Feelings pretty soon. Press play and enjoy this first Fernando's milestone (of many); Slow heavy electro-funk from Mexico. Futuristic bumper!

Juno Download review: "In the last 12 months, Mexico has emerged as an unlikely hotbed of nu-disco talent. The latest act to emerge from the apparently disco-minded Central American state is Future Feelings. Here, they offer up a two-track taster EP on Madrid-based Los Grandes, an imprint whose discography seemingly gets better with every release. Both "Skylife" and "Africa" are built around delightfully rubbery bass guitar grooves, with the former taking top billing thanks to some choice vocal samples and a loose electrofunk/disco fusion vibe. "Africa", though, is still pretty tasty, and should cause considerable dancefloor damage thanks to some fearlessly wigged-out synth squiggles."

[GRAN 010] Lazy Kiss - First Kiss


Los Grandes proudly presents Lazy Kiss' first release. This formation, based on the south of Brasil, was founded on April 2011 by Marco Kothe and Pedro Floriani, both dj's with quite a solid background and a very high regional recognition. The original idea was creating new tracks from their original references by reediting them and by adding their own touch with electronic elements for getting a new final version, a whole new track. Some months later Caco Velloso joined Lazy Kiss bringing a new challenge, besides from editing, beginning to develop original tracks with same feeling and like from their references.

This release gathers eight superb works from their reworking side, all of them highly recommended for refreshing any good party this hot summer. Funk, italo, boogie, bossanova and disco tunes recosntructed with that fine Lazy Kiss touch. I hope you enjoy this first kiss.

Juno Download review: "Lazy Kiss is a new project from Brazil-based DJs Marco Kothe, Pedro Floriani and Caco Velloso. First Kiss, their debut release, features what we'd classify as edits-not-edits - tracks that began as re-edits but were later turned into something else. It's a neat method of working, and one that has delivered solid results. Musically, there's much to admire, from the lazy Latin AOR disco of "Mala's Son" and the jazz-funk hustle of "George's Barrio", to the Nu Shooz re-imagining "I Can't Wait Forever" and camp Italo pulse of "Amadeo". Best of all, though, is "Balla", a mad-for-it trip into skewed disco territory that should prove a surefire hit on dancefloors."

P.S: I know Los Grandes announced they were taking holidays until September but we are not confortable on breaks, so here we are again at work. We will be back to you soon.

[GRAN 009] Dynamicron - After Dusk

 

Los Grandes  presents the fifth EP from Dynamicron on the label. This time Dynamicron imprints his mark on three tracks wich are driven to a fully dancefloor use. From the third rework 'Just Wanna Love You Babe' at 90 BPM's, wich is perfect romantic warmer up, to the more uptempo cuts 'Highlighted', a 117 BPM's funky party anthem, and 'Wasted Luv', a 120 BPM's beast wich will unleash the madness on the dancefloor. Every track has been tested by well known dj's before its release and all the feedback has been more than positive.


Juno Download review: "After fiddling around with re-edits for the last few years, Dynamicron appears to finally be settling on an original production style of his own. While firmly disco-centric - see the delightfully over the top strings, pianos and horns of "Wasted Love" - it also includes nods to house and P-funk. There's something almost grungy and aggressive about the balls-out disco-rock-meets-P-funk of "Highlighted", while "Just Wanna Love Ya Babe" flips the script to offer some slo-mo, flute-laden AOR chugginess. A wildly varied EP that should enhance the Spanish producer's growing reputation."


With this release Los Grandes are waving their hands wishing you a great summer break. We will be back on September with new compilations and other artists releases that hopefully will delight you as much as they did for us. We will continue our monthly podcast serie, recently created, during this months though.
Have fun this summer!
