It's Friday and I'm smiling like Paul during T time

Back on Crosstown Rebels after the barnstorming ‘Heartbreaker’ EP at the end of last year, Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke once again shows he’s a dancer at heart and a truly versatile beat maker. Kicking off with another killer A­side ‘Candy Flip’, Kele builds an infectious track as he works a dirty low bassline with his own deep gravelly vocals. ‘The New Feel’’ follows on with dark bass stabs making way for a bouncing groove, haunting chords, and filtered vox with an anthemic feel. FCL’s remix treatment gives a classic, uplifting dimension to ‘Candy Flip’ while final original ‘Come To Me’ is a master class in raw, bass heavy grooves with a modern touch and fresh vocals from Jenny Bastet.

From the propulsive rhythm sections of Bloc Party’s Platinum­selling debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ to guest vocals for artists like The Chemical Brothers, dance music has always been the underlying influence for Kele Okereke. Having spent ten years making records in studios working with some of the greatest producers in the world, Kele is now launching his solo assault on house music and leaving a distinctive mark in the process on new home label Crosstown Rebels.

With the ‘Heartbreaker EP’ gaining critical acclaim across the board and ‘Candy Flip’ about to win over yet more dancefloors, Kele’s new sound is no flash in the pan. There are more EPs in the pipeline for Crosstown so watch this space. o+o FCL is the Belgian powerhouse production duo comprised of Red D, owner of We Play House, and young DJ/producer extraordinaire San Soda. Both individually and together they have had a major impact on dance music in the last few years, notably with their ubiquitous version of E.S.P’s ‘It’s You’ ­ a sell­out vinyl on We Play House reaching cult status and later seeing a digital release on Defected due to popular demand.

All songs are built around fragments of a guitar chord and scattered vocal snippets I recorded in my tiny Airbnb apartment in Tokyo, September 2024. 
One night, while wandering the empty streets of Shinjuku, I stumbled upon an old VOX guitar amp in the trash—abandoned, yet somehow still alive. 
The amp wasn’t really an instrument; it was a relic for me, something I left untouched, a reminder of things I wished I could remember but never can.

Hello again 👼, we’re excited to announce the next guest on the plant series, the very talented artist Betty Hammerschlag.⭐️ 

Betty uses a large pool of tracks into a small  recording as they almost sample their way through a collage of sounds by engaging in a number of genres that so brilliantly intertwine into one another. You will be met with emo vocals along side abstract indie instrumentals and more.🌱 

You can find their recent release on the beautiful label Collerette showcasing ambient, new age, experimental pop in their major album ‘forever young’.
As well as a full 2nd album ‘Type Shit’ that is yet to be released on the German label SPA. 

“A small mix of my current favsss — from Midwest emo underground and bedroom folk to noisy screamo, dreamy passages, and a touch of electronic. 💜”

It's all so ominous. A horizon most doomed. A present most effed, a future more than most effed than most and even more than most could've effing considered. Ah well. It's well. All's well for now, and even in the future. Retroactively, even. Because. Because? Igor Dyachenko's 'Receiver', featuring mu tate, forthcoming on appendix.files, premiered by Madjestic Kasual. A balm most soothing, and ointment for woes of now and those to come and those that were. Smear.
