World Premiere - Climbers 'Tomorrow Never Comes'
Climbers hail from Mexicali, known as the city that captured the sun, in the Baja state of Mexico. It’s no coincidence that the two members Jay Blakk and Kiko Deal, who, despite forming in 2011, have also captured the attention of the global electronic music community with their fresh- faced take on house music. Their ‘Equal Responsibility’ and ‘It’s All I Need’ singles on Get Physical, as well as the slew of buzz-worthy releases for labels such as Culprit, Asylum UK, Noir Music 2 and Electronique have found their way into the sets of some of the hottest underground dance acts including Art Department, James Teej, My Favorite Robot, Tanner Ross, Miguel Campbell, Catz n Dogz, Death on the Balcony and Richy Ahmed. BBC’s iconic Pete Tong named them "Future Stars" in 2013.
On their Om Records debut they bring the deep and heavy bass lines and old school chops on ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’. Los Angeles chess playing mystic Clarian lends his haunting vocals that end up drifting in cut up on the breeze (like a young Perry Ferrell) as if from an old radio on a dusty Mexican porch. Poetry through a distorted filter, Clarian implores through shouts and croons over pounding beats, Climbers take the song on a constant build. When asked about their name and how it relates to their music, Blakk and Deal state simply ‘We’re constantly climbing to be better people in the journey we’re on’ and that fully translates with every release raising the bar for their growing quality discography. NY / Iceland duo Thugfucker joins forces with Berlin underground darling Nico Stojan to bring their wild party instigating stylings on the remix that takes the original on an 11 minute ride through a gradual steam rolling dance floor destroyer.
Climb on climbers, we’re right there with you!

Fans of their classic DJ sets around the globe will be pleased to hear the rumbling bass lines and heady underground vocals soaring across foot stompers like the title track and the smashing ‘Soho Disco’ (destined to keep dance floors moving) and the deep moody slow building monster ‘Come On Go Out’. Lets not forget ‘Hold On’, quite possibly the heaviest funkdafied tune of the bunch. Closing out the EP is the highly sought after Balearic Mix of ‘Set Me Free’; a deep house remix of the original that takes the track to higher heights by adding a vocal hook.

Kicking things off is the UK duo Solomon Grey with ‘Electric Baby’ remixed by Groves. Deep heavy bass kicks over the brooding affair, setting up a moody introduction.
Next up is the amazing remix of Blackbird Blackbird by fellow indie dance San Franciscans Tone of Arc. Their take on the track leaves the pop behind and takes a plunge into a darker domain complete with backing vocals and lush instrumentation.
In a double dip, Tone of Arc return with an original ‘Waiting Room’ combining a heavy synth / drum break over a fearsome hook by dual vocalists Derrick Boyd and Zoe Presnick.
Keeping the vibrations flowing, Om’s behind the scenes mad scientist Shiny Objects returns with his newest concoction, the eerie and sensual ‘You’re My Fool’.
Track five is ‘A Lover’s Dream’ by Sandeman (one half of the deep house duo Wildkats), with vocals by Shiny Objects and Kidhead (Pillowtalk), this one has a deep hound of the baskervilles vibe permeating the atmosphere over a poetic narrative and rumbling bassline with tinkling percussion, driving keys and guitar.
Keeping the momentum building is Days of May (the new live band featuring Andy Cato from Groove Armada on vocals) ‘So Far From Salvation’ with a remix by Shiny Objects. Be sure to catch Shiny Objects’ tip of the cap to Massive Attack at the 5:51 mark.
Nearly halfway through the album, tempo gets a boost as Solaya (Solar and Aya) take over the controls with ‘As Is’. Reminiscent of classic rave tracks from Orb or Rabbit in the Moon, Aya whispers over Solar’s ethereal house tempo that drifts with live percussion into a magical ambient banger.
Next up is Italy’s DJ Tennis (founder of Life and Death) and Kidhead (Pillowtalk) with ‘The Last Page’ who deliver a radio hit that could easily see play on KCRW or Sirius XM Blog Radio.
Not to be outdone, the UK’s new electronic music darlings Psychemagik deliver another standout track with ‘Chimera’ complete with heavy breakbeats and organ mixed with strings.
Long-standing Om artist Lance DeSardi returns with his new Phages moniker for ‘You’re Not the One’ complete with his own production and vocal musings.
San Francisco’s Sleight of Hands ‘Not In Love’ takes a 1975 charting slow pop song by 10cc and gives it a nice disco jam remix with female vocalist Jesse Rennix (recently featured on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack).
Closing out the album comes the official worldwide release of Shiny Object’s remix of Brooklyn’s Body Language ‘Well Absolutely, a fan favorite but only previously available as streaming on Spotify.
Sleight of Hands return with track number two ‘All Night’ complete with banging remix by Downtown Party Network.
But that’s not all, legendary dance floor rockers Groove Armada return with the smashing ‘Come On Go Out’ destined for deep house dance floors the world over.
San Francisco’s Adnan Sharif puts the finishing touches on the album with his trippy deepnees in ‘Sky Toucher’.
Last but not least, the goose bump inducing DWNTWN remix of Blackbird Blackbird ‘There Is Nowhere’ finally gets released to close out an amazing album of new talent in the Om Records family.
New Click Click 'Soul Freak' on Smoke N' Mirrors
Berlin's Click | Click returns to drop his second single 'Soul Freak' on SNM and what a hot lil devil it is! The original mix kicks things off setting the tone for a funky slice of low-end deepness. This is that booty shaking bad ass house music you always wish the DJ were playing! Well, here it is! Play that shit and bring happiness to the dance floor yo. Our favorite UK felines Wildkats offer up a tripped out twist with their remix. Perfect for late night sessions when everyone is dancing their ass off and not paying attention to anything but the groove. Play this and watch em move! Last but not least is the B-Side 'Berlin', a jackin' house jam served up with plenty of deep disco funk radness. All in all, that's three banging tracks rolled up into one package. Soul freaks, get down on it!
