Gerry Rooney and Joel Martin are Velvet Season & The Hearts Of Gold. Gerry made Black Cock big with Harvey (oo-er) and Joel runs under the name Quiet Village when the mood strikes. Between them they are ridiculous collectors of music which you can hear for yourself on their (not regular enough) NTS Radio show. Left-wing disco, oddball collectors of the highest order.

First up comes the "El Dorado" and "Limitless & Free". "El Dorado" kicks off with flamenco guitars and sounds like one of those lovely old Italian sevens people have been playing for the last few years before a rolling bassline enters the frame, the drums roll in, the edits appear and the vocals comes again. Imagine a mad new version of "Jibaro" and you are getting the idea. Right time right place it'd smash it. They describe it as "a bit of a Spanish flamenco fisting for sunrise & sunsets".

"Limitless & Free" is the flip which is totally that oddball sound (got a feeling that could be new word for describing all those wonky records that are incredibly hard to nail down). All synths and twisted bassline like a messed up Can on lots of drugs (though saying that I imagine Can took enough drugs to sink a ship) which is obviously a truly good thing. "I'm hot for your body, I want you right now" comes the vocal refrain. Buy this one on site and it won't let you down.

So Gerry and Joel aren't just sitting on mega record collections that they like to share in various ways, they also believe in taking house music forward. The second twelve they are releasing shows that. Not sure which the A side is but "Fishpowder Dance" has a heavy disco-esque bassline , warm drums, and a wicked little disco loop. Joel and Gerry can take a few little disco samples to good and different places. "I'm gonna dance" she sings on this one and if I heard this out its exactly what I'd say to the person stood next to me. Sort of somewhere between an edit and their own tune, I think this one could be pretty big.

"Wishdoctor Love" is the other track on this twelve. Heavy heavy kick to start proceedings with a tunnel feel before messed up house drums come and go and a little vocal saying "look at me baby". It's one of their deep grooves that in the right time and place you'd be like "I wish I had more records like this". Harvey's been playing it for a bit too...

Both twelves are available in September with the Japanese getting first bite of the cherry. "El Dorado" & "Limitless & Free" on Love Shot Records and "Witchdocotor Love" & "Fishpowder Dance" on Love Circle Records.
