“Got you on my mind–like an addict”

“Magnetic” is the latest single from George Fitzgerald. I’m loving the sexy deep resonant vocals.

It’s due out Nov. 18th on Beatport.

Praise George Fitzgerald and his label ManMakeMusic for its policy of sharing full-length versions of their new releases on SoundCloud.

This is the second offering from Laszlo Dancehall (Leon Vynehall + Christian Piers) on MMM–three driving lo-fi tech house belters, each with its own distinctive flavour–joined by the common threads of a 4/4 groove and the hiss of tape saturation.

“Whip That” is light-hearted funky Chicago/Detroit-inspired crunchy UK-house.

“Flute Works” is dark, hypnotizing and percussion-driven.

“Fatty Que” is an exuberant dynamic interplay between an indecipherable mangled pitched-down vocal snippet and a soft warm bed of analog chords over top of a relentless 909 loop.

If you’re feeling those cuts, here is a link to their first EP released back in May.

Out soon via Double Six, both in mp3 as well as in 12″ format, here is Paul Woolford‘s re-interpretation of George Fitzgerald‘s anthemic house single “I Can Tell”.

Woolford strips away most of the vocal, the chords, and melody, and instead morphs rhythmic piano riffs over top of the rhythm section in order to develop the arrangement. Make sure to hang on until around 3:07 to experience the main turning point in the track.

Since George FitzGerald’s “I Can Tell (By the Way You Move)” debuted during the Hotflush x Boiler Room Takeover with FitzGerald and Scuba, a few different rips have been floating around the interwebs. Now, following his signing to Domino Records, the UK house kingpin has shared a longer (though still not full) version of the single.

Created by industry maven Gilles Peterson, Brownswood Recordings was initially a platform for unsigned artists, who were attempting to air their work on Gilles’ late night BBC Radio 1 show, to release their music; today, Brownswood represents an eclectic collection of producers.

For the label’s 100th release, Brownswood has decided to amass a retrospective of the group’s favourite reworks from 2006-2013. The compilation includes work from SBTRKT, Joy Orbison, Machinedrum, and George Fitzgerald- amongst others. It should be noted -despite the fact that this compilation is a retrospective- Mala & Simbad’s rework of Mala’s “Noches Suenos”  is brand new.

01. José James – BLACKMAGIC (Joy Orbison’s Recreation)
02. Gang Colours – To Repel Ghosts (George Fitzgerald Remix)
03. Ghostpoet – Survive It (Quest Guidance Remix)
04. Ben Westbeech – So Good Today (Yoruba Soul Remix)
05. Gilles Peterson’s Havana Cultura Band – Rezando (Michel Cleis Remix)
06. Owiny Sigoma Band – Doyoi Nyajo Nam (Quantic Remix)
07. José James – WARRIOR (SBTRKT Remix)
08. Mala – Noches Sueños (Mala & Simbad Super Dub Mix)
09. Gang Colours – Fancy Restaurant (Machinedrum Remix)
10. Zara McFarlane – Until Tomorrow (Ogris Debris Remix)
11. José James – Desire (Moodymann Remix)
12. Owiny Sigoma Band – Wires (Theo Parrish Remix)

My definitive favorite of the compilation (for the time being) is Moodymann’s rework of José James‘ “Desire”; but I assure you that every selection in the retrospective is of top quality. Some selections may even invoke a feeling of nostalgia.

The digital release is available now via Itunes, Bleep, Juno, and Boomkat.
