Redinho – Meetings About Meetings

Posted on Jun 1st, 2023

Prolific English multi-instrumentalist Redinho (Sub Pop, Numbers) moved to London’s rough Holloway Road during lockdown. Aside from prompting him to join a boxing club, the neighborhood also influenced a wave of manic, ebullient tracks created on an old Akai S3000XL sampler, a Tascam Portastudio recorder and a small handful of junky machines. The resulting album, 1-800-SUC-CESS, is raw and spontaneous, assembled like a mixtape with tape hiss and surrealist interludes.

He created videos that connect multiple songs, which he described as “a kind of infomercial nightmare. The relentless selling of a material, financial or spiritual fix to the human condition.” He muses: “This projection of intense self-improvement, whether through fitness, finance or psychological and spiritual mastery, seemed propelled by desperation.” And yet there is an undertone of humor and wit that balances out all the paranoia, making 1-800-SUC-CESS and highly entertaining listening experience.

A-Trak & Lee Foss – Free (ft. Uncle Chucc) (Emanuel Satie Remix)

Posted on Mar 24th, 2023

A-Trak and Lee Foss teamed up last Fall for an earthy, spiritual house jam. Originally an interpolation of a Goodie Mob classic, the song was blessed by a beautiful vocal performance by LA’s own Uncle Chucc, who sadly passed away this year. With the blessings of Chucc’s 1500 Or Nothin family, Trizzy and Lee are releasing a few remixes. Berlin’s Emanuel Satie, whose releases have blessed labels like Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels, and his own imprint Scenarios, elevates the song to an ethereal and highly musical plane. Let’s keep Chucc’s vocals resonating this year! Listen now.

Thando1988, Anton Karskiy, Lee Wilson – Nobody But You

Posted on Jan 20th, 2023

As one of New York’s most in-demand club DJs, Thando1988’s productions bear the marks of timeless dance music. His third Fool’s Gold release is Thando’s most ambitious earworm, made in collaboration with Ukraine’s Anton Karskiy. From the M1-style bassline to the airy guitar riff, “Nobody But You” feels like an updated take on classic 90s catwalk jams, blessed with a soulful vocal by Lee Wilson. This is house music for you to shoot your shot to. Listen now.

A-Trak – 10 Seconds Remixes

Posted on Dec 9th, 2022

Though he hung up his fedora long ago, A-Trak is a man of many hats. Earlier this year, he surprised the whole DJ community by dropping 2 EPs entirely produced on the mythical SP1200 drum machine. It even earned him a glowing review in the New Yorker. Some of his DJ friends volunteered to make remixes and club-friendly edits of the jams, that were intentionally rough around the edges. Amine Edge & DANCE, the globe-trotting Frenchmen, fine-tuned an edit of “Spit” that has been a mainstay in Skream and Jackmaster’s sets; and the legend Laidback Luke took “Cortez” into a Mongoloidz-meets-Roulé sound on his “1997” remix.   Listen now.

Thando1988 – Never Stop (ft. Chantay Savage) (Seamus Haji Remix)

Posted on Dec 7th, 2022

New York DJ/producer Thando1988 was raised on club classics, giving him an appreciation for 70s-80s soul beyond his years. On “Never Stop”, his second Fool’s Gold release, he teams up with 90s R&B legend Chantay Savage for an uplifting, timeless jam with soulful pianos and a soaring vocal performance.  On the remix, Thando1988 links with UK legend Seamus Haji, whose 2004 cover of “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” reached #1 on the UK Dance Chart. Listen as Seamus transforms the track with live brass, bass, and keys.  Listen now.
