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.”
