French producer DJ Gregory has launched a new label for his Point G material.
A short-lived alias that arrived in 1997, the original Point G 12-inches remain elusive and expensive collector's items (although "Underwater," the lead track off 1998's On the Raw Again EP, was recently reissued by Apollonia, while Real Tone put out an unreleased version of 1997 cut "Chicken Coma" last year). A precursor to DJ Gregory, the Point G material is characterised by a simple, stripped back approach to deep house. Point G Records will initially act as a conduit for new solo material produced as Point G, though there is word of older tracks coming out further down the line. It will operate a vinyl-only policy and the first release will be a three-track EP simply called #1. The producer will also unveil his new live show at in Paris on May 17th as part of the first Weather festival.
Tracklist
01. Indian
02. Come
03. Dim
Point G will release #1 on April 1st, 2013.
Soul Clap will launch a new record label in September, simply titled Soul Clap Records.
The duo themselves describe Soul Clap Records as "a place of mystery, art and experimentation" and "a home for our music and our many aliases and collaborations." That said, it will launch with an EP from Night Plane, AKA Brooklyn-based artist (and past RA contributor) William Rauscher. The Heartbeat EP shows Rauscher teaming up with a few different artists, including Heather D'Angelo from Au Revoir Simone, who sings on "Gold Soundz" (a Pavement cover) and "Gates of Dawn," which Soul Clap describe as "one of our favorite Burning Man jams last year."
Heartbeat will be released in a few different forms—first a 7-inch with the original and instrumental version of the title track, then as a 12-inch with "Gold Soundz" and a Wolf + Lamb remix of "Gates of Dawn," then digitally in October with two more mixes of the same track, including the "Burning Man Mix," which you can stream or download right here.
