Alvina Red & Manuel Perez happen to be connected to the wine producing region of Côte Vermeille, on the beautiful Catalan Coast.

It comes as no surprised that they are influenced by the wine making process, which plays a very important role in the lives of the people who live in this area.

Here, the duo bring us a very musical EP, which reflects Alvina Red’s background as a classically trained musician and the decades that Manuel Perez’s has spent as a club DJ.

• Vinestock Boogie is a grooving technoid effort. It features cool keys, mellow synth and muscular percussion.

• Bucket Express is  a deeper techno cut. Shining synths, smart beats and a supporting bassline do the work here.

• Harvest Time drops the tempo a little, but does so in style. Here is a midtempo effort, where watery keys, fuzzy synths and half-step beats meet.

• The Disco Dub of Vinestock Boogie is a slightly more stripped back version. The cool key patterns are the focus on this mix.

WHAT THEY THINK:

Dean Facer “Very nice…. I will support”

Desy Balmer “The versatility of production and knoweldge of electronic music is clear to see and hear. Lovin Bucket Express and Harvest Time and any disco dub from Manu gets my vote. Cool EP. Nov is a busy month for AR & MP.

Bangana “Nice Grenache-vibes”

Garreth Sommerville “Really solid EP. ‘Vinestock Boogie” and ‘Bucket Express’ are my faves.”

Francesco Farfa “Very good job!”

Al Bradley “Loving the original of Vinestock Boogie, great slower tempo & deep grooves, wicked! The more upbeat Bucket Express is a tasty tech cut, very nice indeed. Harvest Time is my pick off this EP, really cool lower tempo vibe, really interesting space & sounds, wicked stuff. Which just leaves the dancefloor-friendly Disco Dub of Vinestock Boogie, equally as cool as the original, nice Moroder-esque feel to this. Excellent stuff.”

Sammy Rock “The duo of Alvina Red & Manuel Perez team up to bring you a house boogie track will all the right elements for open minded dancers only! Full Support!”

Mark Kavanagh “Solid EP of deep grooves and big basslines.”

Ritchie Hartness “Nice electro funk edge to this one.”

Dean Serafini “Always a creative pairing and this release proves no exception - so much diversity within the EP with Vinestock Boogie my initial favourite.”

Mark O’Sullivan of DK7, The Mighty Quark and Mark & John (alongside John Dahlback) fame brings us MUK1, produced with Patrik Hellberg.

This record was inspired by a youth project Mark is involved with in Stockholm, his current city of residence.

• Original: MUK1 is a cool musical effort with grooving synths and soft pattering beats.
• Manuel Perez remix: Manuel Perez provides a tougher version with more highly defined beats, fattened synths and cool key sweeps.
• DJ Mourad remix: The beats are more pedestrian, the bass is more mysterious and dubby keys make an appearance on Mourad’s remix.
• Goaz remix: A watery bassline, submerged beats and lost vocals do the work on the Goaz (aka DJ Gomor and Maz) remix.
• Uninvited Partners remix: The Uninvited Partners supply cool keys, deep reaching synths and chopped percussion on their revision..

WHAT THEY THINK:
Rob Warner “This is magic!”
Jon Lemmon “Very unique project overall, I really like it. Cool stuff for different moods.”
Kazuumi Ishii “All five mixes are good, but the original wins for me.”
DJ Morpheus “Cool stuff!”

The Plink Plank EP from DJ Mourad is an exciting three tracker of technoid grooves. DJ Mourad aka Mourad Sliti grew up in Tunis and currently resides in Sweden.

He began DJing in the mid 80s and by the 90s was making his own tracks that have appeared on labels such as GForce, Wallshaker or Selekta.

He has often contributed to the Lace catalogue before – as the third member of  the family project Tunis Diaspora with his brothers DJ Nabil and DJ Dali, also remixing Hakan Lidbo, Pawel Kobak, Alton Miller, Aqua Bassino and Manuel Perez -  and makes a welcome return with this EP.

• PLINK PLANK is a key driven stormer. It features layered percussion, throbbing bass work and of course cool keys.
• I ALWAYS KNEW is a more serene affair. Purring synths, steady beats and angelic keys provide the magic here.
• FOREIGN CARPENTERS is an acid stomper. The track takes its strength from sturdy beats, gurgling acid and reliable keys.

WHAT THEY THINK:

Rob Warner “Madness! Loving ‘Plink Plank’ big time.”

Andrew Duke “Awesome!”

Sam Labelle “Wow, I love these tracks. A real intriguing production. All three tracks are in my playlist!”

Dean Serafini “I’ve always found that Mourad’s work defies strict definitions and crosses musical boundaries. There’s certainly plenty to apreciate in this EP with all the tracks making a positive impression from the outset.”

Desy Balmer “DJ Mourad rocks! Deadly EP. Full Support!”

Sammy Rock “Dj Mourad delivers a one-two punch with an eclectic release. Spacey keys and deep beats is what makes this E.P special. A great combination of instruments is delivered in this package. Full Support!“

DJ Morpheus “Really like all 3 tracks in here! Top stuff! full support!“

Aaron Carl “I’m playing this HEAVILY… Straight-up, for to the floor… Deep and techy at the same time , but with some CRAZY twist that dares the DJ to step outside the box. Excellent!“

Alton Miller originally joined the Lace family with the three part Everyday I Do release. Here he returns with a brilliant two tracker. Make You Want Me offers two slices of stunning deeper house that feature beautiful instrumentation and the required dancefloor kick. This release shows the deeper side of Lace. It comes after Bonnie Drasko’s powerful To The Rhythm EP and Calico Presents Christian Djor’s sturdy Pour Homme EP.

Detroit’s Alton Miller’s first exposure to music came from the sounds of Motown, Parliament-Funkadelic and Santana in the 70s. This was followed by an exposure to inspiring DJs such as Ron Hardy in the 80s and a friendship with a certain Derrick May. Miller was one of the founders of the seminal Music Institute club in his home city and began DJing in the 80s. A conga drummer by the early 90s, Alton Miller began his production work around a similar time. His first outings appeared on Derrick May’s Fragile, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS and Serious Grooves. Since then, his music has appeared on labels as diverse as Moodymann’s KDJ, 20:20 Vision and Clone. He has also released albums entitled Rhythm Exposed, Stories in Bohemia and Souls Like Mine which have appeared via Distance, Peacefrog/Track Mode and R2 respectively.

• MAKE YOU WANT ME is a grooving escapade with smiling synths and sweet keys.
• TURNING ON is a similarly touching effort, which features beautiful keys and cool live bass work.

WHAT THEY THINK:

Dr Motte “Deep shit! Great!“
Andrew Duke “Superb! Will use in the mix and likely chart!“
Q-Burns “Superb musical bits here … not necessarily explosive, but generally intriguing and ear pleasing. Turning On slightly edges it for the fave with it’s steady build and buzzing synths. I’ll use it in this month’s radio show.“
Greg Eversoul “Nice deep grooves. Intelligent stuff. Deep and dirty. Love this.“
Shane Johnson (Fish Go Deep) “Great raw house music. Will be playing on radio and dancefloors!‘
Dalminjo “Really nice tracks!“

Bonnie Drasko returns to Lace Recordings after the success of his revivalist yet relevant Acid & Fresh EP. To The Rhythm is an exciting three tracker of explosive club music. Taking in a range of old school and new school influences, the cuts will satisfy a range of house and techno audiences. This EP adds to the diversity of the Lace catalogue, following on from Calico presents Christian Djor’s strong Pour Homme and Alvina Red & Manuel Perez’s hypnotic Palm Strings.

Bonnie Drasko is Marius Fabrega, a DJ and producer from Northern Catalonia. Born in 1981, Drasko has had a long love affair with music. He started his musical studies aged 8 and later discovered the joys of electronic music. Aged 18, Bonnie Drasko moved to Barcelona, where he fell under the spell of the city’s club scene, inspired by sounds emanating from Detroit, Chicago and Berlin. He cites the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jean-Michel Jarre and Pablo Bolívar as influences. In 2004, Drasko started DJing and making his own music. In the last five years, he has DJ’d at many clubs and parties. Production work soon followed, with the Acid & Fresh EP appearing on Polytone Germany before the aforementioned outing on this label.

• TO THE RHYTHM is a driving floor filler with cool keys and thrusting beats.
• UNTIL SEPTEMBER is a dark yet dreamy techy effort, where fat drums, flying synths and hypnotic keys meet.
• ROBOTICAL DOG is a swirling synth driven stormer with a mean acid streak.

WHAT THEY THINK:
Rob Warner “I will play! I love acid! ”
Michael Fossati “Lovely selection of deep contagious tracks… ”
Sam Labelle “Great shuffling track with just the right amount of vocal snips to grab a floors attention - I would play this very late in my set!”
Dean Serafini “A solid package!”
Desy Balmer “Quality EP. Lace is on top form right now. Loving the stuff coming out. Keep it going!”
Sammy Rock “Another banger by this label and Bonnie Drasko, deep tech in full effect. Pick anyone of these tracks on this E.P and you will get a very good response from your dancers. Full support on this package!”
DJ Morpheus “I like “To The Rhythm “a lot !”
M50 (Chicago) “Great classic & chordy tech-house sound!”
