Taneli & Frankie Soukal : Construct Q / Mr. Prince

“Surprise!

Happy holidays from Group Hug! As a special gift from us to you, we’re proud to announce the arrival of FREE HUGS, a new series of split releases from up-and-coming artists we really love.

The first edition of the series sees two previous Group Hug collaborators step up to the plate.

Since dropping his debut EP ‘Positivity’ with us in 2012, TANELI has been going from strength to strength, racking up remix and production credits for the likes of Chvrches and ETML. His Free Hugs offering Construct Q is a downright beautiful piece of low-slung house music, led by a hypnotic, jazzy piano line.

After delivering a cracking remix of Maxime F’s ‘On Monday’ for Group Hug last year, we thought it only right to get FRANKIE SOUKAL back on the label in 2013. Adorning the flipside of this release is Mr. Prince, his club-friendly rework of the Grüvis Malt track of the same name.”

Deadly Combo : Unattainable [BSOG0032]

“You could say that Deadly Combo’s new album Unattainable has been a lifetime in the making. RM aka Bigg-M and his younger brother CM aka Creative have long been rocking the mic, individually, yet rarely have they been able to do so together. Now, after many years of trying to make a full-length project happen, they’ve finally been able to… and it is most definitely worth the wait! They’ve pulled together a host of MCs and producers for it and everyone brought their “A” game to bring you an album packed with that classic NYC boom-bap. Heads will nod to this.”

Mod 2 & Nino feat. MBP – Serial Stereo LP [Doma017]

“New release of our Net Series, taking both qualifiers in a very positive way. We have allowed to present one of the masterpieces that most surprised us in recent time. A quality production exquisitely irresistible to the finest ears of music lovers.

Mod&Nino, two Parisian brothers by which the same blood flows with the same musical harmony through their bodies, reaching their brains in order to be exported in digital LP format for those who want to enjoy a few minutes of listening enjoyment.

Mod2 is a longtime student of electronic music for 20 years. His brother Nino, a creative composer and sound experimenter. Together they manage to create a beautiful combination of minimal techno and swing decorated with jazz samples. Recently the duo has become a trio with the addition of the French writer and singer Marianne BP (MBP in the project).

The 3 members get music to reflect a feminine accent that travels from jazz to rock reaching Soul-Pop features. Mod2&Nino feat. MBP presents “Serial Stereo LP” , an all electronic experience, simply a triply and original mixture.”

Various Artists : Aliases Vol​.​1 – 1 Particle, 2 Places

1 particle, 2 places. 1 musician, 2 spaces.

There is experiments of quantum physics that place an alone sub-atomic particle in 2 different places simultaneously. Probably our brain is still not prepared to really understand this. Nevertheless this compilation use the experiment as base of its own existence.
Most of the producers, when they work on their studios to build songs, end up by experimenting with genres or sub-genres that do not ‘fit’ with themselves or are not their official tendency.
Here we compile these works, this places where the mind of the musician does not have social or artistic limitations due to the fact that he/she has a strict public or a project that limits him/her.

Under this premise, the freedom and the experimentation, we have caught few Electro composers so they could give us their ‘bastards’ creations.

But, the experiment doesn’t end here … Any of them are allowed to use their known names or their artistic known projects. All of them had to create an alias, a never used name and they have the commitment to keep it private.

Even between their release mates, the identities aren’t known.”
