For Record Store Day 2017 Razor-N-Tape presents "Icarus," an original song by Lovebirds, with remixes from Tall Black Guy, Moods, and JKriv in a striking double 7" package.Giving the shine to their 45 series for this year's Record Store Day, RNT welcomes back Lovebirds aka Sebastian Doering with a slice of chilled-out analog soul. Although primarily known for his nu-disco and house productions, Lovebirds is a seasoned hand at all things deep, and Icarus shows the smoky late-nite side of Basti's skilled production style.An all-original tune, Icarus layers jazzy vintage electric pianos over restrained but head-nodding percussion, with Galliano's soulful vocal soaring above it all. The ever consistent Tall Black Guy delivers a 90's-esque boom-bapper of a mix, with an added verse from 80's Babies for good measure. Moods works the track into a slo-mo stomper on his mix, complete with stuttering synth bass and driving percussion. And rounding out the package is RNT's JKriv, with a beachy stripped-down retro-boogie remix perfect for those warm-weather months to come.Each mix gets its own side in this double 7" pack, with stunning full color artwork, making it a truly special package perfect for both collectors and DJs alike.

Nebraska comes to Razor-N-Tape Reserve with a 3-tracker of soul-laden sampley goodness primed for the floor.The title track drills deep to the depths of primal funk for an extended disco-house workout that stretches over the full A side.On flip we have a pair of slow-burners, with Instant Pressure juxtaposing modern R&B vocal flavor over a hypnotic rhythm track, and then Keep On Keeping On takes us back to the classic soul side with its gritty and gospel-infused groove.

For our first release of 2017 RNT welcomes HADE! Best known for his work on Local Talk and Basic Fingers, the Cologne native delivers a symmetrical 2 sides of disco edit barnstormers and downtempo head-nodders.From the beefy kick drum thump of Say What You Wanna Say and My Thang, to the obscure yet memorable sample sources of Jeep Cherokee XJ and Range Rover HSE, this is one to get the party shaking!
