Amadeus sees it’s catalog graced yet again by New Zealand outfit Chaos In The CBD. The kiwi brothers, birthed Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales, are no new faces to the label, or the wide variety of genre-bending acronyms they encompass. Having recently relocated from tropical Auckland to damp London earlier this year, the two take their productions along with them in their latest efforts, 816 To Nunhead.

Title track and aside, “816 To Nunhead,” is tinged with what’s left of summer. A nostalgic tune built for the sun and soaked in funk. It’s a track reminiscent of early french disco, almost as if built for the two robots themselves. Guitar plucks and hi hats flow seamlessly throughout the tune, aided by a glorifying vocal, “I would like to think of my music as just an extension, an extension of me of today or whatever.” 

What emotion of freedom and escape evoked on the Aside can be contrasted on the flip, “78 To Stanley Bay,” a tune built behind the ever looming theme of loneliness. Accompanied by a live trumpet courtesy of Isaac Aesili, ’78 To Stanley Bay’ tells us a story, or rather a journey, built behind dirty hats and delayed keys. This is a track fashioned for everywhere but the club, and we absolutely love that.

Artesian Sounds is back after a two-year rest, announcing Scissorwork’s new EP ‘Identity Crisis’. Giving a nod to his efforts at knitting together different sounds and genres into a coherent whole, ‘Identity Crisis’ comprises three stylistically distinct tracks shot through with the Bristol producer’s signature stylings. Moving forward from his earlier forays into lo-fi, Scissorwork presents a collage of influences spanning house, electro and broken-beat.

The opener ‘A Hundred Years’ is a summery earworm featuring cascading synth lines and a catchy vocal hook meandering over a guitar loop, comped with delicate touches on the Rhodes in quieter moments.

PREMIERE: Scissorwork - A Hundred Years [Artesian Sounds]

@aleccampbellmusic @ajeatsmackerel

Piff Records presents A Story Of Innocence Lost, the latest record by Shaolin Cowboy. At five tracks long, the EP presents a jazzy vision of deep house from Shaolin Cowboy, also known as Alec Campbell, and features collaborations with producer AJ Edward. What stands out here is Campbell's ability to craft intriguing rhythms and gorgeous textures, a stellar addition to a growing back catalogue.

'Yeh Yeh Yeh' blends the physicality of jazz with house stylings. Minor-key chords make up the lead section, but the shuffling percussion underneath adds vitality.

Chicago house mastermind Hush Hush returns to the studio to re-flip a classic. Perfectly grooved drums sit right in the pocket with a nimble bassline. Funky stabs play a game of call and response. This fresh 2023 deep dub is guaranteed to make the true heads on the dancefloor push their way closer to the speaker stacks.

London label @axeonwax-records has achieved quite a fair bit since its 2014 inception. Between itself and its ‘grittier’ sub-label Axe Traxx, they’ve clocked in a combined 11 releases consisting of works by proper staples in the scene — Chaos In The CBD, Glenn Underground, and Mall Grab, just to touch on a few. Now, they’re back with yet another sub-label — a hip, trendy and super fun younger sibling of the Axe imprints, with PNP 001 as their first offering.

PNP 001 compiles together re-edits of classic tunes, a task London local @DeejayAstral (fka Palace) is certainly not unfamiliar with. His B1 ‘Say Yes’ opens with a muffled, mumbling take of the spoken-word intro to Floetry’s 2003 hit single. Astral's play with filters lends the up-pitched neo-soul vocals an even more seductive flair. The rework’s feature of sensual jazzy keys and hints of a trip-hop groove may highlight the RnB original’s dreamy bedroom vibes, but the addition of popping kicks and crunchy raw percussion really repurposes the track into a serious dance-floor heater, all without any overstatement. Deejay Astral sure knows how to please.

Sporting a touch of lo-fi, a healthy dose of disco and a whole lotta oomph, the rest of the tracks do not disappoint. It’s no wonder PNP 001 already has the likes of DJ Seinfeld, Baltra and Banoffee Pies on board with early support. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for the release!
