Ltd W/Lbl Germany 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Following some great releases by Retromigration & Nephews, Eloi and Scruscru, Berlin label LTDBLBL returns with some fresh material by label mainstay Benjamin Long who gets seriously deep on the label's eleventh release. It kicks off with the emotive 'Breezy' followed by the jazzy blunted beats of 'Blue Mood'. Over on the flip, the late night vibes continue on the spiritual journey of 'City Stife' and the record ends with the life-affirming mood music of 'Daze Upon Days'.

Review: A mysterious and captivating record that showcases the versatility and creativity of Ltd, W/Lbl. The unknown artist delivers a stunning blend of deep house, jazz and disco sounds that transport the listener to a different dimension. On the first side is the swung and jazzy kind of something that is 'My Way Home' creating a dynamic and immersive experience for the main room. Over on the flip is the low slung heater 'You Are So Xsutiful' featuring sensual vocals and a bright string section that adds to the overall atmosphere.

Review: Two sides, two continents, all class: LTF, W/Lbl glide into 2018 fashionably late with this deliciously sophisticated 12" from two classically-minded newcomers. Flying Frenchman Sable Blanc lives up to his Balearic tag with two supreme sun-kissed sounds; "Rose Cocktail" is all about the peppy Jersey organs and wily jazz sax while "Bridelice" shuffles with smoky introspective soul. Flip for two vibes from LA's Never Dull. "Friday Night Special" hits with disco vibrancy (and just a smidgeon of jazz sax appeal) while "Jazzin'Disco" filters us deeper into the night with a sublime roll of synths, sax and sunny side feels. LTD by name, LTD by nature. Don't sleep on this.
