Brooklyn based DJ & producer Saqib brings together an all-star cast for his new release on BLOND:ISH’s ABRACADABRA imprint.  Collaborating with Bryant Jensen, and featuring Biiro and CERN, the ‘Love Life’ EP delivers four tracks of quirky and minimal tracks for late nights and early mornings.

Saqib has previously released on Audiofly’s Flying Circus, Sol Selectas, ebb + flow, Magician On Duty, Cenote, Dream Culture and CUE.

Saqib explains further about how the release came to fruition: ‘Love Life’ is an EP that I wrote for ABRACADABRA during the pandemic, after I started doing streams for AbracadabraTV every Sunday (for my show Love Jams). It ties into the whole love jams concept and all these tracks are in some way or the other about love. Viv (BLOND:ISH) would tune into my show and she would be ‘damn that’s a dope track’ and over time that’s how each track made it on to the release. The EP includes tracks made with my childhood close friend, Biiro, and also Bryant Jensen and CERN.  And ‘Burglar…’ features myself on vocals, it’s got a real summer vibe that one’.

Morocco’s most respected ambassador for electronic music, Amine K, cues up a release that’s been some time in the making.  ‘Taran’ comes in two versions, offering up pure vibes for both the day and the night, and the seasoned artist, who has previously released for Sol Selectas, Get Physical and Akbal Music, dishes up his debut for BLOND:ISH’s ABRACADABRA label in fine style. Amine K gives us an insight into these wonderful brace of tracks… 

“I started the track some seven or eight years ago.  Back then, I really wanted to make something different, sexy and original and that would be appealing to a larger audience than what I was producing for back then. I ended up digging into different genres to see if I could crossover into them with my electronic music, and that’s how I found this dancehall reggaeton kind of vocal.  And I loved it!  However, I tried many times to get something out of it, but it just wasn’t the right.  Fast forward two years, and I finally had something that I thought was pretty cool, so I sent it to Viv and she started playing it, but we both knew the track could be better.  So, when the lockdown hit, I went back to my old tracks, but now having the knowledge and mastery of those past 10 years.  I ended up having a good idea of what I wanted to do, and I've finally achieved it, and I got two versions.  One is the Dr. Gonzo mix, which is more like day, uplifting and housey vibes, and the El Loko Mix which is more by night, and after-hours house vibes. Viv ended up liking both versions and here we are now :).”

Out now on Rebellion: lnk.to/RBL086

Crosstown Rebels’ Rebellion imprint welcomes a debut outing from French artist Joseph Maglia, AKA Maglia. Co-founder of and resident at the Mykonos based Moni nightclub and studio, Maglia delivers the four track Chouia EP that pays homage to sounds that have inspired him through his years in music.

"This EP encapsulates multiple influences on my journey as a music producer, which started many years ago,” says Maglia. “Some of these tracks are old sessions, whilst others are relatively new but they have all been polished and finished in our studio based in Mykonos, Greece. Middle Eastern sonorities and their deep sonic signatures have always fascinated me; the vibrations translated via synth lines and live recorded drums, in my opinion, gives the perfect synergy for dance floors."

The title track Chouia opens the EP, introducing the first instance of Middle Eastern influenced melodies alongside progressing percussion throughout. Rohya follows and raises the energy as entrancing synth lines enter over a pulsing bassline. The EP’s theme carries through into Barde as wind instruments are introduced alongside rhythmic elements before Maglia then closes the EP with the mesmeric and percussive led track Biskra.

With over 20 years of DJ experience, Maglia has dedicated his life to music and the creative arts. It was this passion that led him to co found the Moni establishment in 2013 which quickly became a point of reference in the clubbing scene, welcoming the likes of Dixon, Seth Troxler, Bill Brewster, Honey Dijon and many others. Maglia’s entrepreneurial spirit also saw him co-found the label and party Bordel Ensemble alongside friends Opus Dehli, Jheab & Peggy Gou, as well as co-founding the lifestyle collective London Village Kids. The quiet times through 2020/21 saw Maglia lay focus on his own music, paving the way for his timely debut on Damian Lazarus’ Rebellion.

Another great Spirits compilation to add to the esteemed series.
