It’s possible we were a bit slow letting everyone know about Ben Browning’s 12″ single release “I Can’t Stay“. But that’s only because (being one degree separated from the Cutters Records staff himself) it might have looked like we’d been talking ourselves up. So thankfully pitchfork has done all the publicity for us, by posting the track last week and brand new video directed by Krozm.
You’ll have to wait for the full length EP (due 19th of March) but you can get your hands on the lead single, flanked by two must-have remixes by the ever-consistent Knightlife and Juan Maclean (DFA).
He’s been called the baron of the beats, a knight of life, the life of the night, or even occasionally plain Mike Gamwell, To you and I though, he is only Knightlife. Long considered to be Cutters Records’ secret weapon and he’s back with his 4th release on cutters,I Want You.
Wow, what a week! It’s hard to believe we’ve been blessed with two knightlife releases. First was the Serves You Right 12″ and now the mothership has come to earth in the form of the 8 track, I Want You EP which is Mr Knightlife’s most substantial release to date, and his best (in our humble, clearly unbiased opinion). It also features the remix talents of the rather excellent Weekend Express, Bobby Boomerang and The Emperor Machine. And the cover artwork (seen above) comes courtesy of the tasteful and talented folk at Alter.
We could blabber on all day about it, but I think at this point the best strategy is to listen to it yourself and get acquainted. There are plenty of things in life that you may end up regretting, but this is definitely NOT one of them! Go forth and enjoy.
A west-coast US group, propelled by a love of Chicago acid houseandexperimental pop? Hmm… Sounds suspiciously like a perfect addition to Cut Copy’s deejay playlist. So then it should come as no surprise that it’s actually a description of Cutters Records’ exciting new signing, The Miracles Club.
Having quickly emerged as instigators in Portland, Oregon’s underground dance music community, members Rafael Fauria, Honey Owens and Ryan Boyle fuse elements of classic Chicago acid house, world music, left-field pop and contemporary dance. Their infectious transmissions and live happenings have energized Portland’s current Madchester style explosion of club music mutations.
Having released an their debut EP through Mexican Summer last year, they have joined the Cutters fold and return with a vibrant 12″ and digital EP, featuring international reworkings of their psychedelic house jam, ‘Light of Love’ by Cut Copy, New York’s Neurotic DrumBand and Ulysses plus new anthem, ‘So Hot‘.
It feels like the second coming of Jack, but BELIEVE… it’s the rise of a new dawn! For more info and a taste of the release, listen here or BUY IT NOW: JUNO, iTUNES or 12″ VINYL
Get very excited, because Nile Delta has unveiled his debut EP on cutters. We’ve barely had a chance to get word out about it yet, but lo and behold, It went straight to # 1 on Juno download!… and in fact it’s been in DJ charts for pretty much everyone since the vinyl release a few weeks back. So no surprise really. This release is a MONSTER!
For the uninitiated Nile Delta is dancefloor wizard Joel Dickson, former member of Riot In Belgium and current member of Cutters’ dynamic-duo, Voltage. Having spent the past year neck-deep in the producer’s role for other people’s records - it was only a matter of time before this, Nile Delta’s debut EP ‘Channel / All This’ emerged, shimmering, from the water.

And… for those that still want more… check out this ‘making of’ video for the EP. I didn’t know Nile Delta spoke with a cockney accent, nor did I know he looked exactly like Vince Clarke. Oh well you learn something new every day!
