4 To The Floor seeks to rediscover the world of Faya Combo, the label and passion project from seminal underground house hero DJ Gregory. French born DJ Gregory began his explorations into house music in the early 90s when he was making pilgrimages to New York City to soak up the city’s music scene, bringing back with him the freshest dance music from the nucleus of American house. He set up label Faya Combo in 2002, having had several successful records including his project Africanism with Bob Sinclar on Yellow Productions. Many releases from Faya Combo have striking Afro and Latin flavours, influences sustained by DJ Gregory’s travels to Brazil and Angola to work with local artists in those regions. Now all together in one place for your listening pleasure, 4 To the Floor presents the full Faya Combo package. Including 25 tracks, featuring originals and some heavyweight remixes from the likes of Kerri Chandler, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Dimitri From Paris and more. 

The collection features ‘Elle’, its irresistible Latin rhythms and melodic bass making it a timeless underground hit. ‘Tropical Soundclash’ is another classic, the high-energy, high-tempo, thumping percussive track compelling and funky, so relevant in todays house music environment. Alongside the originals are some fantastic remixes. Karizma delivers his take on DJ Gregory’s ‘Don’t Panic’ by giving it a deeper, darker house edge that rolls into a super-cool, steady beat.

4 To The Floor presents Faya Combo is part of the 4 To The Floor series, lovingly selected and compiled by Luke Solomon. 4 To The Floor also delves into the Nu Groove, Movin’ Records, Sub-Urban, Classic Music Company, Soulfuric and Slip ‘n’ Slide catalogues, digging for those lightbulb moments of musical discovery. Fulfilling his role as your friendly record shop assistant, Luke’s 4 To The Floor series comes correct with brand new vinyl LP collections and digital albums from these now legendary house labels, plus official label merch to accompany all of the releases, for that full rack-raiding experience.

Ogni track viene giudicata esclusivamente per il suo valore musicale, l’originalità, la qualità di produzione e per come funziona in un vero contesto da DJ. Se il suono è forte, qui è al posto giusto, che arrivi da un artista conosciuto o da un nome completamente nuovo. Le chart Focus sono pensate per i DJ e per chi scava nella musica e si fida più delle proprie orecchie che delle reputazioni.

Le Focus Charts sono selezioni curate scelte a mano dal team di curatela di Volumo, con una priorità chiara: la qualità del suono in sé. Queste chart non sono guidate da grandi nomi di artisti, label famose o hype di settore. Ogni track viene valutata esclusivamente per il suo valore musicale, l'originalità, la qualità di produzione e per come funziona in un vero contesto da DJ. Se il suono è forte, il suo posto è qui, che arrivi da un artista conosciuto o da un nome completamente nuovo. Le Focus Charts sono pensate per DJ e cercatori di musica che si fidano delle proprie orecchie più che delle reputazioni. Questo è uno spazio in cui i producer emergenti stanno naturalmente accanto ad artisti affermati e le release underground ricevono la stessa attenzione delle track delle label major. Se stai cercando musica elettronica fresca, scoprendo gemme nascoste o esplorando nuove direzioni dentro techno, house, minimal e generi affini, le Focus Charts su Volumo offrono un'esperienza di ascolto e download curata con attenzione, costruita per i DJ che mettono il suono al primo posto.

Le prime 24 ore dopo che il tuo track esce sono assolutamente cruciali: è il momento in cui l'algoritmo osserva. Che sia Volumo, YouTube o Instagram, quel primo picco di ascolti, salvataggi, condivisioni e interazioni dice alla piattaforma: ‘Ehi, questo merita di essere spinto.' Se riesci a coinvolgere subito fan, amici e rete, hai più possibilità di finire in playlist algoritmiche o ottenere maggiore visibilità. Quindi, non limitarti a caricare e rilassarti: preparati con contenuti da pubblicare, contatta la tua mailing list e sii attivo nei commenti.
