Never Never New Hot Young Talent!!! - Daniel Bortz

"Never Never New Hot Young Talent" is a feature i will pull out on the occasion where I get excited about a DJ / Producer / Live Act / Band and want to shout about how turned on i am from their work. So expect freeeesh sexy stuff from this segment of the blog.

Its always annoying when you think you've made a discovery and then you get massively embarrassed when you find out your the last one to be in the know. Daniel Bortz is one of these for me. I first came across Bortz productions i April this year when scouring beatport looking for something on the deep side for what would be a warm up set - if i ever get to play out!! I went to Suol Records for inspiration and came across Daniel Bortz EP The One. I only picked up the track 'Other Guys'. It has a darkness to it that get a flash of brightness pop up with every synth bounce. It features a vocal sample of a R&B tune from 2006 by Cassie who is just a sexy as she sounds in this tune. I've played it a thousand times and yet to get bored of it. Its smooth, its clean, its got a groove that is so slick it makes me almost slide of my chair thinking about it. Check it hear.



So after this tune i delved deeper to get more of a flavor on Daniel Bortz and seen that he's released on a load of labels including Souvenir Music which is spearheaded by tech house gods Tiefschwarz and most recently Circle Music. The new release on Circle music is a extremely solid EP. 'I'm talking' is the pick of the bunch. Here there is a sweet groove again with lots of wicked stabs of some 70's backroom disco flavas - piano's/organs and again a vocal sample.

Bortz love of vocals come across in his mix's too. From what i've heard on mainly podcasts most the tunes he plays are vocal led. You can check out his latest mix posted a week ago for Noir here -

Going back to being a tad bit behind other folks on discovering up and comers - as i was just sitting down to write this piece i got a invite on facebook from my mate Tom 'Balls Deep' Bulwer who has just booked Daniel Bortz for his party imprint Get Down Good at Baising House on the 2nd December, this will be a London Debut.
