Loopholes tenth release is from another debut artist, this time from Sydney. Eddie Coulter burst onto Sydney’s EDM scene in 2005 with a distinctive house sound playing main room sets at Home, The Chinese Laundry and Tank. A guest appearance at Tank for Defected In The House, caught Alan Thompson’s attention and lead to a 5 year residency at Tank for DTPM. Eddie soon found himself behind the decks at some of Sydney’s biggest event’s including Sydney Mardi Gras and Sleaze Ball, gaining residencies like The White Party at Ivy and Saturday Fucking Night at Nevermind. Currently holding residencies at Arq, The Midnight Shift, The Beresford Hotel and The Bank Hotel Eddie Coulter is not slowing down.

‘Night Light’ is a back to basics, no-nonsense progressive house dance floor driver. With a bass line that could move a dance floor at any time of the night, coupled with feel good melodies, his track lends well to crates for DJs playing to a variety of crowds. Luke Meader delivers a tough remix on the flip, and turns the feel good melodies of the originals into a epic emotional build up leading to a blissful coast through the melodies and groove. The mixes together make a very solid package leading up to summer vibes rolling into the end of the year.

Closing in on the 1^st birthday of the label, Loophole’s 9^th release showcases a brand new talent from Melbourne. Sekkt is the musical ‘bastard child’ of multi-instrumentalists Pavlov, Tija & Lenky, and has created a devilish blend of the subsonic with the harmonic - techno with funk, house with world music. Combining the best of electronic and live music, Sekkt is replete with heaving bass, deep rhythms, funkadelic horns and electrified keys. Add to that a slice of inspired originality, a dollop of mayhem, a dash of psychadelia and a pinch of voodoo. Always expect a good time, bring your dancing feet and rest assured, Sekkt’s genome is continually evolving.

‘First Light’ offers a deep driving techno track with an addictive lead synth that slowly builds to captivate the dancefloor. This track has a real classic techno vibe to it, with a deep and irresistibly smooth groove, that will excite punters of all realms, having the energy lift any club set, or bliss out a festival crowd. This track is to be featured on the fourth-coming compilation album ‘Techness Shot’ released in August on Velcro Records. On the remix tip is Loophole’s very own Jimmy le Mac. The remix steps away from the deep hypnotising vibe of the original and offers a dancefloor friendly bass-house remix. Jimmy’s interpretation of this rings true to his own style as well as sparing no part of the original in order to make it accessible to a very wide audience with a sultry sub heavy sound to captivate floors, radios and clubs everywhere.

The next instalment from Loophole returns us to our good friend Luke Meader. Since his debut EP almost a year ago, Luke has been busy working on a handful of remixes for the likes of Crystal Guns, Jimmy le Mac and Smile On Impact as well as working on a stack of original material. Luke brings his first new single from these works; ‘Obsoleet Speak’

‘Obsoleet Speak’ is a deep journey of emotion, spacious synths and warm bass progression with a contagious melody that is easy to get lost in. On the remix tip we have a new face to Loophole Recordings, Sydney DJ and producer Eddie Coulter. Eddie caught Loophole’s attention with his support of previous releases and enthusiasm to be involved with the label. Having heard a few tracks of his own it was obvious he would be perfect to remix ‘Obsoleet Speak’, and he stepped up with a solid tech house remix that encapsulates the journey of the original, while sprinkling his own style over it. 

Stay tuned for more tracks from Luke Meader and Eddie Coulter in the near future, as well as LHR009 later in August.
