| universal vibes / Music Blog |  | | UV017-Strange Worlds-Broken | | Broken by Strange Worlds featuring Natasha Grujicic is the follow up to their debut Danote (UV1204) and is being released on Universal Vibes on vinyl and digital. Recession House is what springs to mind when you are listening to the melancholy yet soothing sound of Broken. You are almost taken back to the 90's when you would hear the discontent and edgy confessions of a track on the dance floor. A time when, back then we were in a recession. Spring forward to 2010 and the dancefloor is once again not just about a sugar-coated world . The bitter-sweet confession of a fallen, broken, heart being delivered by the sweet voice of Natasha Grujicic takes on a spine-shivering edgy tinge which darkens as the track progresses. The haunting synthetic string section sets the vibe and is enriched with a soulful touch. | | 2010-10-18 00:26:34 | | | UV018-Young David-Bubble EP | | Young David picks up from where he left off with last year's debut /FuJi EP/ on Universal Vibes – mid-tempo deep house with soul flavours and a liberal pinch of Scandi out-thereness that saw heavyweight support from the likes of Domu, Robert Owens and Laurent Garnier, to name but a few.
'*Bubble*' features re-amped house pianos, dissected guitars, dissonant pads and of course those trademark peculiar bubbling sounds... On the remix, Paddy Freeform in his *Soulsonics* guise takes it a shade uptempo, dubs out the keys and brings the fat analogue bass and crunchy percussion to the fore.
'*Over Again*' drops the tempo into proper slo-mo territory, starting with cosmic synths and an off-kilter sequence that have you thinking space disco until the bass drops, nailing modern boogie colours to the mast. Grainy tron flutes and strings add a tinge of melancholy that builds into the most haunting Rhodes melody you'll hear all year.
*Suade* (Adapted Vinyl) brings the full force of his analogue firepower to bear on '*Duh*' with a slightly harder and techier version of the original (from the /FuJi EP/) that will no doubt find favour once again with the deep- and tech-house heads. Suade also adds his sonic touch as mix engineer Paddy Freeform's 'Soulsonics' mix of lead track Bubble

| | 2010-01-26 18:10:04 | | | UV016-Andy Ash-Astro Travellin' ep | | Another artist premiered on the Album and 12’ sampler, Liverpool’s Andy Ash drops a full EP for the label Astro Travellin’ features on the second ‘This Is What the Universe Sounds Like’ Vinyl sampler and get a great response from promo, so we wanted to follow it up with more material from Andy, and the resulting EP will not disappoint. First up we have the title track, ‘Astro Travellin’, a shimmering midtempo groove that will ignite the dancefloor despite its slow pace, steadily building and dropping in all the right places Next up we slightly up the tempo and bring you the deep sublime grooves of ‘Going Down’, a hypnotic vocal refrain nuzzles up alongside a solid groove and warm guitar licks for a proper summer track, will sound great on the terraces, in the fields and on the beaches over the coming months. We follow this with Paracosm, again upping the tempo and cut from a slightly more electronic cloth, more of a bumping house groove but still retaining the same warmth and depth of sound Finally we have Raindance, retaining the same deep and bumping house not house sound, an upping the tempo slightly again to reach the climax of a quality EP… | | 2009-08-04 17:38:44 | | | UV015-Jaffa surfa-Audiodelight ep | | After appearing on the Universal Vibes label compilation and vinyl sampler with deep house bomb Here I Am, Hungarian artist Jaffa Surfa steps up to deliver an ep of deep electronic house music.
Here I Am was on the first vinyl sampler and received some amazing feedback, warm chords, heavy production and chopped up vocals combine in a heady groove that will flood the dancefloor with warm soulful waves.
This is followed by Rootz, a slightly old school groove brought right up to date, again oozing warmth from its electronic heart …proper deep house music
Finally we have Shecago, again old school in its sound but thoroughly modern in its groove and production, with a slightly mellower feel than the other tracks.
Three tracks of deep, electronic soulful house music from an artist we predict big things for…will appeal to fans of labels like Freerange, Buzzin’ Fy and Urban Torque…
