*Monthly Residency at Il MURETTO (5th and final for the season)
In August, Satoshi will be traveling to his usual summer destinations that have become almost become a summer tradition when the whole continent goes on holiday. He will return to CAVO PARADISO in Mykonos, Greece which hosted one of his best gigs last year. Along with a host of dates in Italy, all along the shoreline, including the conclusion of his summer monthly residency at Il MURETTO and gigs at LA CAPANNINA in Alassio and GUENDALINA in Santa Cesarea Terme. On August 20th, for one special night at SHINDIG in Newcastle, UK - we will be celebrating both Satoshi’s ES / ES-B and Sasha’s new album on Global Underground with a “double release” party. This is going to be a blinding double header.

	Satoshi Tomiie: ES-B Release Date 8.2.05 atoshi Tomiie releases ‘ES-B’ (pronounced ès-B), the second in a two part mix series through Saw.Recordings on 2nd August. The follow-up to ‘ES’ sees Satoshi cast off the shackles of his progressive leanings and dig for some deeper house. “I love the deeper stuff but with the gigs I get it’s a lot more difficult for that to filter through in my sets,” says Satoshi. “’ES-B’ is moving more towards the Inland Knights than the chunky progressive style that I usually play out.” 1. Star You Star Me "Sweet Things" [Original] 2. Metro Area "Proton Candy" 3. Satoshi Tomiie "Glow" 4. Jeff Bennett "Designated" 5. M1 Presents "ManMachine" [PJ Remix] 6. Dan Berkson Presents Syntho "Concept" 7. John Tejada "Chorgs" 8. Chab featuring JD Davis "Closer To Me" [ES-B Mix] 9. Vulva String Quartett "Death Cab For Bootsy" 10. Kerri Chandler "Bar A Thym" 11. Elmar Schubert "Make Me High" 12. Spirit Catcher "Code Breaker"

Satoshi has just completed a remix for a forthcoming release on SAW – SLOK “LONELY CHILD” which was recently featured on ‘ES’ as one of the closing tracks. The remix is currently being road tested across the globe and on a dancefloor near you. If you hear it, let us know what you think on Satoshi’s own http://www.satoshitomiie.com/global/present/forum/. The track is scheduled for release later this year. "

W042: CHAB "CLOSER TO ME" REMIXES "
August 23, 2005

Featuring Remixes from John Digweed & Nick Muir, and Lexicon Avenue (SAW exclusive). When we first heard “Closer To Me” we knew it was a special record – now almost a year or so later the song still touches us & many fans dearly. SAW.Recordings present remixes from a few of dance music’s most respected remixers John Digweed / Nick Muir & Lexicon Avenue. Keeping the integrity of the song was a priority for these remixers and they’ve taken a classic to another level that we believe will help expose this record to a wider audience and breathe new life into it.

Check out Satoshi Tomiie ‘ES’ reviews in the press:

BPM MAGAZINE

Satoshi Tomiie is the real deal, a down-from-day-one house head with a decided dark side. Who else can claim they started their recordings career playing keys on Frankie Knuckles and Robert Owens’ “Tears”? A central figure in the Def Mix team alongside Knuckles and David Morales, Tomiie knows a thing or two about house music, specifically when it’s hard ‘n’ nasty from New York. The guy certainly delivers on this most recent mix. Although it’s not all gravy but a few wobbly missteps only play up how tight the rest of this mix is. Particularly piquant is a mix of Demi’s “D Drive” with the acappella of Roach Motel’s “This Beat is Mine (Work That Body)” laid over the top before sinking into the depths of Peace Division’s “Peaces of Gold.” Tomiie’s mixes are sinuous, silky, and drawn out, each one performing a function (building the tension, dropping into a break) rather than merely linking two songs together. His own excellent SAW imprint is represented, as well, with cuts like Chab’s elegiac “You And Me” and Bush II Bush’s “Piano Track” with its stuttered keyboard line pointing back to Tomiie’s roots in a timeless, classy arrangement. Strong stuff from a true East Coast-dwelling progressive house master

These albums could easily be reviewed separately, but since Satoshi clearly intended them to be a linked pair, why not write about them together? ES (short for "Electronic Soul") preceded its non-identical twin out the door by a couple of months, and the older sibling has all the earmarks you'd expect of a first-born: Responsible, hardworking and yes, just a little conservative. Not a lot, just a little, but it is at its core a house record - and a damn good one at that. Knockout tracks among the 14 presented in this continuous mix include "Time For Revolution," the lead cut from Kevin Freeman, the Sucker DJs "Banrock" (which seems like it should be a classic somehow), Upfade's "Friday Loops" (popping up in DJ mixes everywhere) and Coburn's fat- like-a-greedy-possum "We Interrupt This Program." Also joining Kevin from the SAW stable are the Satoshi Tomiie ES mix of Chab's "You and Me" (from the excellent full-length "Dub, Edits and Whiskey-Coke"), Bush II Bush's "Piano Track" (also available as a single) and the album's closer, the dark and brooding "Lonely Child" from Sick, a nice segue to "ES-B," although that record is neither dark nor brooding.

That would have been an easy route for the younger sibling of this pair to take, especially given daddy Satoshi's history. Instead, it's adventurous. Rather than trying to live up to or overcompensate for the more traditional first release, it strikes off in bold new directions of its own and as the saying goes, with great risks come great rewards. From start to finish, ES-B is a joyous exploration of what great dance music can be. The twelve tracks are mostly instrumental, the vocal flourishes are expertly placed, from the breathy exuberance of "Sweet Things," the Star Me Star You song that leads the album to the urgent vocals of JD Davis on Chab's "Closer To Me" (another cut from Whiskey-Coke, showing the high regard for Satoshi has for Chab, the only artists to appear on both ES and ES-B.) Satoshi himself makes an appearance with "Glow," a song he composed as he was compiling the other tracks, so it's no surprise that it fits so "just right" with the rest of the album. There's also some nice 80's flava courtesy of Dan Berkson's "Concept" and some neo-disco magic from the Vulva String Quartet, who get bonus points for their cleverly named nod to indie rock "Death Cab for Bootay." And speaking of disco, the album concludes with another like-disco-but-better selection, Spirit Catcher's "Code Breaker." There's more, but you should discover it for yourself. So pick it up, put it in, and let it play. That's what it's for.
