Mother Tongue
Mother Tongue is a brand new record label and vinyl pressing plant run by Patrick Gibin out of Verona Italy. They currently have a couple of great vinyl only releases out in the wild that are seriously good.
First up is Pezzate #001, four wicked disco boogie edits from Twice & Volcov. No titles or details on these, just great music that speaks for itself. If you’re a fan of Patrick’s Black Aroma series you’re going to love these. Click here to secure a copy.
The second release is shrouded in even more mystery than the first. All we have is 黒舌, I’m not sure if this is an artist name, not much to go on here. A listen to the music may well give you a clue who’s behind it, I think I know, though I won’t spoil the fun. Two tracks of groovy dancefloor goodness. Check it out at this link

Theo Parrish – What You Gonna Ask For
I’ve been a little obsessed with this song, without actually knowing what it is, for something like 18 months now. Theo played it a long time ago on a guest mix he did for NTS without actually mentioning what it was. I spent alot of time trying to find out who was behind it, Shazam, asking random people on facebook, scouring endless soulful house releases, hoping to stumble across it. I think it was the Dego mix he played, as it didn’t sound quite so obviously a Theo production as it does when I listen now. I’m very happy to see this finally coming out, so I can play it on loop to my hearts content, and I will. It’s great to also learn that it’s a collaboration with a number of members of the currently super hot Melbourne jazz soul scene. Featured on the track are as follows…
Lori (Laura Christoforidis) – Vocals
Silentjay (Alejandro Abapo) – Saxophone
Simon Mavin – Keys
Perrin Moss – Drums
Paul Bender – Bass
