Afro Cuts

Getting the love from Shy One, HAAi, Bill Brewster, Jamz Supernova and lots more, Zanders returns with 'Not Soppy'. A departure from previous work, this warm and catchy piece of balearic pop nods to Croydon and Chicago.
Inspired initially by the innocence and fun of early explorations into dance music, the nostalgic vocal line prompts the listener to remember times before trying to be underground or authentic, instead celebrating the feeling of being vulnerable and new to a scene. With Al's signiture playfulness and soul, this was made for end of summer dances.

Al Zanders - Spring Boo

Mastered by Barry Grint
Release 5th April

A fun disco bomb for your DJ set. This track begins with a collection of mantras from my nearest and dearest friends, what do you say to get through the day?

It is what it is
If it's a bad time it'll be a good story
Just try and have fun
Worse things happen at sea

Mantra

Dummy Mix (May 2016)

Side A of Al Zander's second release on A-Z. Out now!

Piccadilly Records: "Al Zanders may well be my favourite producer in house music right now. Highly prolific at present, I don't buy every record he's done; I do however listen to them, and respect pretty much 100% of his output so far. This latest one, alongside the one on Wolf Music, are for me - his two best records. Quite a feat indeed considering what I've just said. Sure to be at the front of my record box until the end of the year."

Podcast 97: Al Zanders

Another very special EP on Al Zanders A to Z label! Teaming up this time with vocalist Sheyi, for a one-off foray into Broken Beat territory.The story of its inspiration begins with a trip to Notting Hill Record & Tape Exchange...

After asking for some broken beat, the assistant ventured a withering opinion that "won't be monotonous enough, try the house music section instead" Turns out it was Phil Asher of Co-op fame - who, after establishing a genuine desire for said genre - sold Al a bunch of West London music which became the influence for this EP.

Allowing Sheyi to shine over a bare bones, syncopated rhythm track on the title cut and an equally stripped down 'Satisfy' Al amps up the groove, with the G.I.T dub, which was made for IG Culture's radio show.

Limited run on these - don't snooze!
