Gimme A Break Records presents Oldboy’s 'The Box EP', featuring three expertly crafted UK Garage productions. Following his debut release, 'The Guv’nor EP', on Noire State, Oldboy continues to deliver future dancefloor classics founded upon crispy two-step rhythms and squelching basslines. Through his string of releases on Fly By Night Recordings, Outhouse Sounds, Ratface Records, Reloaded Sounds, Da Demolition Squad and Algo:Riddims, Oldboy has become renowned for his playful sampling. The EP’s title-track showcases Oldboy’s filmographic inspirations and whilst ‘Strict Service’ offers a more laidback groover, 'Mantis' supplies a rough and ready crunch to round off the EP. Big up to Oldboy himself for conjuring up this nostalgic cover design.

The Motoring records engine is fired up again with their second release of 2021. Elliot Saloman’s I Still Want features remixes from a duo in high demand Cortese and a debut for Coventry’s Mercia. The release offers 3 emotional club cuts which champion a fresh twist of deep leftfield house and breaks, tinged with UK influence, soaring atmospheres and emotive textures. The single represents an oscillation of the Motoring sound but demonstrates the broad sonic palette of the label, while honouring its ethos of celebrating combinations of components of the deeper side of electronic music.

Gimme A Break Records is honoured to present “Red Handed”, the first
collaborative EP from label regulars Papa Nugs and Phasmid. Featuring
everything from gritty wobblers and chunky breaks to acid arps and outrageous amens, this collection of five tracks is bound to send any crowd into hysterics. Alongside two individual productions and the co-produced title track, this EP offers up two undeniably rude remixes of the gents’ tracks from GAB’s first vinyl release. 

Both Papa Nugs and Phasmid have been making serious waves in the UKG and Breaks scenes of Leeds and London. Nugs has crafted an extremely unique production style as epitomised through his Milk and Beans EP for Ba Dum Tish. Similarly, Phasmid has consistently delivered furious basslines and crisp breakbeat concoctions for a number of labels, including his very own Taipan Trax. Having collaborated previously as part of 128kbps, as well as playing b2b at PLURPROJECT, Papa Nugs &amp; Phasmid display a devilishly playful musical chemistry across “Red Handed.”

Mia Lily w/ Hywel Gregory - May 2022

Alicia Keys is one of the undisputed queens of contemporary R&B. Powerful vocals, earnest lyrics and a deep self-awareness are the main pillars that have held up her career. But what happens when you fuse ballads with basslines? For this vinyl-only co-release on Bristol imprints Eminent and Slippery Sounds, Knoxville’s Nikki Nair stands at the intersection between new and old and redefines exactly how to nail the bootleg edit.


‘If I Ain't Got You’ is a precise flurry of two-step garage and nostalgic vocals, Alicia’s lilting voice still recognisable despite the dancefloor environment. A glossy rhythm breathes life into the old classic so that it becomes a new entity, which somehow welds together the murky rave realm with the weightlessness of Summer. It’s rare for tracks to suit any given setting, but this one might just be a strong contender.

‘Show Me Love’ takes a more starry-eyed course, weaving dewy textures into a fresh whimsical appeal. There’s still a subtle nod to the past despite the more recent Alicia/Miguel sample, which comes in the form of the 2010’s grime era melodies and nostalgic soundscapes. The breakdown around the halfway mark is a particular treat; it hoists up the vocals in reverence before the first of two ice-cold, dubby drops.

They say that if you’re paying homage to one of the greats, you’ve got to do it right. But Nikki Nair goes above and beyond that into a captivating alternate reality where the rush the second time round is just as good. These bootlegs are instant classics in themselves.

Premiere | Nikki Nair | Show Me Love | [Eminent x Slippery Sounds]

Espree is an up and coming bass music DJ/Producer hailing from the infamous Bristol, who’s drive within the club scene has been getting attention from record labels throughout the UK due to his fresh and versatile style with an eclectic twist fused into his productions. 

With a Mixmag feature and multiple radio appearances, he’s catching the attention of some heavyweight artists in the scene such as: Skepsis, Shift K3Y & Sammy Virji as well as KISS FM radio presenters Charlie Tee & Billy Da Kid. 

His latest productions have been energetic and powerful with tasteful underground twists. He is currently working on a huge amount of new original material while still finding the time to handpick tracks to remix into a whole new vibe of his own. After being picked up for a '100% Production Mix' on the legendary Rinse FM, Espree has began to also catch the eye of a few other major-player record labels.  Judging by the amount of unreleased music that he has stacking up, it seems that he has no intention of doing anything other than working full force to imprint his name on the scene and will no doubt be pushing into the upcoming underground artists roster; an artist not to be underestimated.

After a year of lethargy, SD Records returns with a tremendous EP signed by Ludowick. One of the most beloved remixers of the family finally deserved a solo EP, and the occasion has arrived in the SD 30th release.

Always Dreaming becomes one of the high points of Luis' career, of which we still don't know its peak. The EP is made up of 3 songs simmered for 5 years, and although they represent 3 different moods, the common denominator is the dancefloor.

Always Dreaming creates a minimalist and dreamlike atmosphere thanks to the dub dyes of the house, accompanied by a tech-house rhythm with sounds of the mythical 909.

Premiere | Ludowick | Always Dreaming | [SD030]

Love & Danger in Paradise is an amalgamation of ZF's cultural fascinations. Inspired by likes of Vice City, Drive and Giorgio Moroder, for our annual themed compilation project, we sought out artists that create and craft neo-nostalgic sounds.

A retro musical direction drove the selection process, pulling tracks from italo-disco and indie dance genres. Each of the twelve hand-picked artists added a distinctive sonic uniqueness to the album. Cosmic, groovy and melodic club-ready works, all designed to timewarp the aural sense.

This curated collection musters up visions of midnight road trips, neon-lit city wanderings and dark disco discotheques, because in reality - what hath night to do with sleep?

A mix full of purely Loose Lips label music, selecting eccentric pieces from across their entire 19 releases thus far. You can check out the back catalogue at https://looselips123.bandcamp.com

Medallion Man is co-founder, resident, and the driving force behind Loose Lips. Since its launch in October 2014, he has directed its growth into a well-respected and ever-ambitious diverse musical platform, curating all events, label releases, charity work, mix series, radio shows and directing the blog's activities. His own DJing continues to blossom alongside the wider project, seeing him regularly DJ around the UK & Europe, gaining a reputation for eclecticism and intriguing mixing.

He also works as head of publishing at the established label, 2020Vision Recordings, and runs a mysterious new vinyl label called Reposition, alongside Third Ear's El Prevost. He also carefully manages a diverse roster of musicians, ranging from unique singer-songwriters through to modular geeks.

He started playing on the radio, developing a unique take on experimental and electronic music. Animating several shows on different stations during the last years, he regularly offers listeners 2 hours of varied sounds. In April 2017, this passion extended to starting his own station, a brand new community project called Threads Radio which has quickly grown into a thriving and internationally recognised project. His own Loose Lips show is every Monday night, 8-10pm, and invites artists for guest mixes and interviews on a weekly basis - http://loose-lips.co.uk/radio-shows.

If this wasn't all enough, he's also co-director of 'London Promoters' Society', alongside Hayley Squires, a project which aims to bring more cohesion and collective spirit into London's diverse musical melting pot of event promoters.
