REJECTED  /  Releases

new rejected track out on figure!

it’s been a while but joris voorn and edwin oosterwal teamed up again and they have just released another bomb. this time not on one of their own labels but on len faki’s figure label. it’s a split platter with slam. slam’s contribution is an absolute monster, a huge peak-time, dark-as-you-like floor smasher. rejected’s slyly named “peanuts” sounds like the best remix that never came out of a certain similarily nut-based anthem from a couple of years ago … no gimmick though, this is a perfectly constructed piece of dancefloor business,  just those drums on their own would have been a must buy tune!   

hotlips finally :)

still riding high on the wave of support for joris voorn’s ‘dusty house ep’ (check the overall beatport chart, it’s already at number 4!) we return with a release that features two summer bombs.
first up and opening the release in fantastic style is ‘hotlips’. edwin oosterwal and his buddy warren fellow, deliver a cut that has already gained cult status in the netherlands. built around a trademark ‘rejected’ groove, its simplicity is its strength. super solid house beats woven together with the laidback vocal hook, create a sexy dancefloor mover.
fred trumpet, delivers the ‘last call’ to all those looking to sample the wonderful breath fueled instruments. ‘retteketet’ is without doubt one of the biggest tracks of the year, set to take the summer season by storm. a horn line that could’ve been lifted from the finest of soul bands to those of gansta-town 1940′s. with its eastern oboe break for good measure, it is a true delight. sys, for those of you who are also tired of the brass, and read this with a sense of fear, do not despair. if you only play one more horn sampling track this year, make sure its this one! 

new joris voorn on rejected!

hot on the heels of one of 2009′s hottest tracks to date, pitto’s ‘feelin’ (see below), comes the next golden nugget on our label. this time we bring you the first release of an exciting new series called dusty house. the dusty house series sees us first enter room 1. inside we find two choice cuts by joris voorn. ‘sweep the floor’ finds us delving into oldskool territory. tricky hi-hats, get eaten up by the subtle marching bassline that increases in strength. a cheeky guitar lick, horn stabs, vocal drop and we’re off. it’s a floor burner of the highest order, and one that will keep the floor grooving throughout! ’empty trash’ (you following the theme right?), shows voorn’s skill of injecting his techno weight into his house productions. here he gives us menacing synths, that stalk us. yet when primed and at their most dangerous, perfectly timed, he drops the vocal, and wraps us in the comforting bassline. support by luciano, karotte, gregor tresher, 2000 and one, tobi neumann and many more.

out now rejected 006 featuring pitto!

timing could not be better for pitto to be dropping ‘feelin’ on our label rejected. memories of classic cassius releases come flooding back as you hear the piano, and filtered disco vocal gently coming in. a splash of disco, 90′s italo and naughties vocal house, make for a perfectly constructed feel good house smash. totally fresh for 2009. already supported by dj’s like dubfire, laurent garnier, pete tong, dj hell, bob sinclair, francois k, karotte, raresh, anja schneider and many more. the track is out now on vinyl and will be available on beatport as of april 8 2009. enjoy!
