The latest salvo from the Beats House Records camp is this – a vinyl 45 featuring Djar One’s remix of Île de France-based Svinkels’ 2021 cut Rapido. And with a name like that, UK residents of a certain vintage may be disappointed to hear that this isn’t a tribute to Antoine De Caunes and his ‘leetl’ Eenglish chumz.’ What they won’t be disappointed with however is Djar One’s execution

SVINKELS: Rapido (DJAR ONE remix)(Ltd. vinyl 7″)
MC RYT: Cheer Song (Prod. DJAR ONE – cuts KESTA)(Ltd. Vinyl 7″) + video
New from Djar One’s Beats House label is latest vinyl 7″ Cheer Song featuring Japanese MC RYT of the Serpat crew. I don’t know what he’s saying, and the French lyric video isn’t much use for someone with only GCSE French (even if that was augmented recently by watching all 8 series of The Spiral a.k.a. Engrenages) but the energy on this is infectious and I reckon B-boys and girls will

WHIRLWIND D: Without Music (feat. MICALL PARKNSUN) b/w Labels (SMOOVE Mix)(Vinyl 7″)
It’s a doubly nice slice of vinyl 7″ from B-Line Recordings next with this new single from Whirlwind D. On A-side Without Music, ‘D and another Brit-hop veteran, Micall Parknsun, go head-to-head on the subject of the redemptive power of – well – music over a soulful midtempo Djar One beat with cuts by Specifik. Flip it over meanwhile and you get a remix of another ‘D

Coming at ya later this month at your favourite on- and offline vinyl emporia (and so hot that it’s already sold out on the Beats House Records Bandcamp page) is yet further proof that the party is continuous at Djar One’s house in Le Havre.

DJ FORMAT & DJAR ONE feat. TOPAZE CHANTILLY: Blue Topaze b/w Ballade Sybarite
DJ Format and Djar One producing either side of une disque vinyl 45 featuring Topaze Chantilly? Fabergé! If your knowledge of French emceeing extends no further than MC Solaar or peut-être NTM, it’s l’heure to se lever. Format supplies grands boom-bap beats comme d’habitude while Topaz occupé the mic – I’m guessing it’s a brag rap but your Français needs to be better than the

DJAR ONE: Rescue Me b/w Bar-B-Q (Vinyl 7″)
45 soul edit/ re-works are bigger than ever right now and a man who always knows what’s good on that front is Le Havre’s Djar One who comes through with two biggies right here. First up is a Fontella Bass’s Rescue Me – an evergreen a peak-time party bump and now fully rebooted with a funky drum underpinning to give it that extra boost. On the flipside is another edit of Wendy

DRAGON FLI EMPIRE: Record Store (feat. J-LIVE)/ Fli Beat Patrol (Prod. DJAR ONE)(Vinyl 7″)
Rating: No dead-of-winter lethargy for Calgary’s Dragon Fli Empire on the evidence of fresh dope 45 Record Store b/w Fli Beat Patrol. Side A sees Teekay and guest emcee J-Live trade bars over a bossa-based beat in a tribute to music in physical format – vinyl specifically – and the emporia in which such archaisms could once be found and indeed still can be if you look hard

DJAR ONE: Oye Como Va b/w Dance Dance (Vinyl 7″)
Rating: Oye como va, readers? Really – good – glad to hear it! And things’ll be going even better when you catch the news that Djar One is putting out a double set of Latin edits on 45. Side A is, of course, a funked-up version of Tito Puente’s evergreen Oye Como Va with additional drum breaks giving it some extra dancefloor weight and the chance to add a top-rock to your

DJAR ONE / DJ TRON: The LH Body Rock / Bombshell (Vinyl 7″)
Forget Trump’s Russian rip-off military hardware parade and make way for some 45 calibre heavy weaponry from Djar One and DJ Tron on this new Burning Sole Records seven inch. The A-side finds Djar One unleashing monstrous funk drums augmented with guitar fuzz, subby bass and vocal samples from the likes of the Beastie Boys – though Black Dynamite gets a look-in as well.
