KEEP ON JUMPING (DUB)

After, having signed, in June 2022, the label's most successful record (DE005), Diogo (@diogo-vasconcelos-1) is back on business with EXT033 – Quem é o Criminoso? (“Who’s the Criminal?”). At a time when pressing becomes increasingly difficult for small labels, due to the increase in production costs to clearly
prohibitive amounts, Diogo returns home with a collection of tracks in digital format. Materializing the fourth release of 2023 for the Extended Records/Discos Extendes labels, and in a year that seems to prove to be quite prolific for the label Diogo points directly to the dance floor. 4 straight to the point tracks, no bullshit, and in a breakbeat style that we can already identify as his.

“Fallin”, the record’s opening theme, is a declaration of love anchored in a rimshot and in sweet and honeyed voice samples whose crescendo only bursts after 5mins of time. Raising the BPMs “Move Me” follows the same voice and breakbeat recipe, relying more on the relationship between breaks and the strength of a “jazzy” chord until the entry of the pad, which, towards the end, transforms the theme
into an atmospheric landscape with the beat and the filtered breaks fading into the horizon. But the track that really stands out on the EP is, without a doubt, “I Don’t Give a F*ck!”. With great emphasis given to the low-end, the track is guided by those that are already Diogo's trademarks: breaks, more
or less familiar voice samples, and basses that are very present and that, in this theme in particular, hit us in a way very physical way! Around 01:40 the theme is interrupted by an unexpected scratch and we hear a highly recognizable voice repeating continuously “I Don't Give a Fuck!”. The EP ends with a remix of the elusive Tsuri that deconstructs “Move Me” and elevates it to a Jungle track based
on the inevitability of the break and on the sampled piano that here becomes a varied and fun stab that guides the track in different directions.

Who is the Criminal? You ask... If the crime being to smash the dance floor, Diogo will certainly be the main suspect. “ – Diogo Vasconcelos, please present yourself to the authorities!”

"If you feel like you're not progressing, the likelihood is that everyone else you're looking at is going through exactly the same thing." Conducta and Charisse C talk about isolation and mental health in this collaboration with Black Minds Matter UK.

Resident Advisor is delighted to welcome back our quarterly collaboration with Black Minds Matter UK, a charity connecting Black individuals and families with free mental health services. In line with their mission to make topics around mental health more visible and accessible to the Black community, this recurring series dives deep into some of the issues that plague BIPOC artists specifically, not to mention people working within the creative industries more generally.

In this episode, Vanessa Maria hosts engaging conversations with two London-based artists: Charisse C, a DJ and resident on NTS Radio who derives much of her musical inspiration from her Zimbabwean and South African heritage, and Conducta, a UKG tastemaker and the founder and A&R of Kiwi Rekords. The duo share their thoughts on themes around loneliness—the alienation of social media, the risk of burnout on the road and the self-doubt that accompanies any kind of achievement. But they also share inspiring ways to encourage transparency and a real dialogue around hard work and happiness in the dance music scene that isn't mitigated by social media and outward appearances of success. 

"Everything that people think has happened overnight in the last two or so years, that's all been a process and a journey of hard work," says Conducta. "I think one thing that will benefit young people coming up in the music industry is understanding that if you feel like you're hitting a stalemate, the likelihood is that everyone else you're looking at is going through exactly the same thing, feeling exactly the same thing." Listen to the episode in full.
