Just Released :

In their second release for Worship, the influential and long running consortium from Philadelphia know as Circle delve further into the production realm and collaborate effectively to bring you the "Music & Emotion" EP.

Staying true to the sounds that have kept this crew ardently toiling away for nearly 20 years, "Music & Emotion" serves their need for depth and drive while preserving a timeless structure.

Setting the tone for this weaponry is the 'Original Mix'. Guided by a sturdy backbone of percussion and syncopated rhythms, the original takes its time to unfold. Nothing extraneous here as momentum builds to a well constructed bass line that solidifies the rhythmic statement and delivers dance floor determination. Simple synth lines add a thoughtfully distinctive component that combine to communicate a track useful in a variety of settings.

Placing a greater emphasis on tech-tinged elements, the 'Emotionally Gated Dub' punches clean and strips back the percussion to reveal a straight-up floor monster. With carefully timed builds, soaring soundscapes and delay, this one will hold up well during peak time and provide the building block for an assortment of musical maneuvers.

With heart in hand, the 'Tribute to Randy Flash Keys Dub' humbly pays respect to our Philly friend and DJ, Randy Flash who was taken from us far too soon. With heaping helpings of early morning beauty, this mix will radiate warmth and gently beckon the more discerning heads to come join the dance.

Another illusive Philadelphia producer join the Circle crew delivering a thump-laden, synth workout with his 'Mood Extender Mix'. Insidious in its development and decidedly unpredictable at times, this mix fuses a wide array of sounds in his version to distend the confines of deep music and perpetuate expansion while laying down undeniable feel.

Hear what these jocks are saying about it...


DJ Wehbba (Tronic) - Tribute To Randy Flash Keys Dub is my favorite, but mood extender is also cool

Gregor Tresher / Break New Soil - Original of Music & Emotion sounds great! Will play.

Jonny Cruz / No. 19, My Favorite Robot, Toys for Boys, Vakant, Geno  - mood extender for me

Claude Young / cynet:media - Original Mix is really nice.

Kabale & Liebe (100% Pure / Remote Area) - all mixes are dope! original is my favourite though

Andrew Grant (Circo Loco)  Extend my mood to the fullest

Pig & Dan (Cocoon) - original is really cool

In Stores Now :

Wor.37 Foundation EP by Rob Paine & Neil Kurland. Remix by Davidson Ospinna.

The sounds on this EP are far from the original Foundation of music coming from the mother land. Instead, this collection of tracks is a product of how those sounds have manifested into present day house music. Worship Recordings style. Rob Paine & Neil Kurland touch the studio for the first time together to pay respect to the Foundation with this 4 track EP.

The Original mix is the fullest of the 4 mixes. A tribal anthem all the way. What begins as ‘tribal war’ soon develops into peace time with super smooth chords to set the tone for the next minute or so before the natives get restless. Add in a rasta bredren speaking the truth and some heavy bass then go mash up the dance with this gem every night of the week.

Worship is blessed to have Davidson Ospina (Ospina Digital) join the tribe. Deep, tribal and tight as a drum head to my favorite keta drum is what Davidson serves up with this one. We could not have asked for a better representation of Davidson’s sound mixed with the sound of Worship Recordings. He hit this one properly.

Of course we could not let Davidson go deeper than us so we added the minimal Deep Bass Roller mix. Actually, this was done before Davidson’s but it looks good on paper. Actions speak louder than words so just hit the play button and gwan!
