Life's not supposed to be easy
so why would I think it should be
I don't know how to
explain this to you
I just want to be free

I grew up believing in sin
but I knew I was good deep within
so I searched all the gods
Against all the odds 
I found that God is in me

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

I'm waking up to something real
I'm ready to get off this wheel
I'm ready to live
laugh and forgive
I just want to be free

One day I will be dead and gone
but the true and real me will live on
because God cannot die
so neither can I
I will always be free

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

I want to wake up (from the dream)
I want to wake up (from the dream)
I'm gonna wake up
wake up, wake up, wake up

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

Just want to be free

JACKARD serves up thrilling new EP "Lucky Dip" on the vital Griffintown Records.

Since breaking through in late 2017 JACKARD has been a regular on the underground scene and has already been certified for his raw energy and explosive sounds. They have come on Moxy Muzik, Hustler Trax and many more and have seen him constantly in the top end of the underground charts while also playing around the world.

Drop The Beat kicks off and is a rock solid house groove with plenty of height in the drums and attitude in the vocals. Razor sharp percussion and subtle garage swing gets things going ever more to ensure this one will cause real carnage. House It UP! brings some old school flair with big piano stabs that will prove infectious for all. The drums are chunky and more throwback vocals finish this one in style.

Sultry songstress Barbara Nicole brings you Dirty Dutch Vol.1, the eighth release on groundbreaking label Good Crazy, available 6th December.

Barbara Nicole reunites with her dream team from MORE OF ME EP: Dutch masters-of-production ST..N and FortySevn (aka Luxe Agoris and Raville). And the results are simply stunning. She takes two stonewall classics from her teenage years, smashes them into the present day and hands them to you, gift wrapped with a bow, just in time for Christmas. 

The first track, Common People, is an ingenious reworking of Pulp’s 1995 classic. Press play. Close your eyes. Let Barbara Nicole transport you to a packed dancefloor, the throng of adrenaline-soaked bodies beckoning you into its scrum. Sinister Casiotone keys are sparsely sprinkled over the top of a relentless drum machine, subverting the bright major chords of the original and dragging it kicking and screaming thirty years into the future, for Barbara Nicole to have her wicked way with it. Her vocals sub-octave down tuned, smother this darkwave-tech-demon in lavish layers of the finest, filthiest monotone sleaze. 

As you recover from just how crazy good track one is, Barbara Nicole literally brings you SexyBack. And this time, it’s even sexier. You’re going to hear this one dropped by the finest DJs across the globe in 2025 as they get the party started in New York lofts, Berlin power stations and beaches from Bali to Buenos Aires. This is Hi-NRG, acid-washed electroclash. Barbara Nicole pins you up against the wall, kicks your legs open and sings one inch from your lips, eye to eye, mesmerizing and menacing you in equal measure, before calling you with the most sumptuous siren call, dashing onto her rocky shores. 

Barbara Nicole tells us more. “Dirty Dutch Vol. 1 brings back positive memories of California since it marked the first time collaborating with my Dirty Dutch brothers. On Common People, I enjoyed leaning into a dark, dead pan style of vocal delivery. With SexyBack, my muse called upon me to release a siren call, and I answered (which came really naturally). You first hear it in the intro and then arpeggiated throughout the track. These covers mark the first of a few Dirty Dutch volumes, all dark interpretations of classics.”

Dirty Dutch Vol.1 is the perfect start to a prolific burst of creativity, with several amazing releases already in the pipeline from Barbara Nicole. 2025 is set to be her finest yet. Excited? You will be.

Tromino brings you his latest incredible EP You Move Me / Jack The Beats, available from 6th December, the West Midlands Producer / DJ showing yet how to produce stonewall classics that rise a level above the mass of electronic music available today.

Tromino has his very own musical philosophy - the power of 3. A domino has two equally vital sections. A tromino (the geometric principle as old as music itself) has three. Tromino’s holy trinity consists of Detroit techno, Chicago House and Acid. His sonic tromino greater is expertly forged to become greater than the sum of its (already sublime) parts. If you speak to Da La Swing, Joyce Muniz, Cevin Fisher, Nic Fanciulli, or Jamie Jones - just a few of his many distinguished supporters - they will agree.

Track one, You Move Me starts with a hi-tempo, tribal beat with a ground-shaking bass so deep, you can’t help but turn that master volume up. Layer upon layer of humid, nocturnal syncopated percussion build, each with a completely different pattern, yet somehow all working concordantly. Tromino has turned up to your samba band practise with a 909 and a laptop and told you to forget everything you know. Synth and vocal samples kept to a minimum, designed to enhance rather than dominate. Play You Move Me at 33 or 45 and it will sound equally amazing. 

Tromino tells us more: “You Move me is a rolling, tribal affair with a hint of tech. Focusing on the percussion and cool synth riff that floats in and out teasing you to the drop to then start rolling and building all over again. This track also plays well at a higher tempo, making it more techno than tech.”

The second track, Jack The Beats hooks you immediately with a thwacking drumline, joined by at 30 seconds by a deep, bouncing bass drum and a classic vocal sample, ‘Jack, jack, jack the beats’. By the time the old school synths and tweaking high line kick in, you’ll notice that your body is already moving. Everyone around you on the dancefloor frantically flicking through the vinyl crates of their mind palace, wondering which house legend produced this track at the turn of the 90’s. Jack The Beats is so pure that it transcends decades, equally classic and contemporary.

Tromino explains: “Jack The Beats was inspired by the Jack'in House sound with a Tromino twist. Classic drum and bass sounds of the era with some wonky effects and infectious build up with a call jacking vocal sample 'Jack the beats'

You Move Me / Jack The Beats is just what you need to hear on your home setup and in clubs as a little beacon of hope amidst the dark winter nights. Play it in your New Years Eve set and the whole place will be bouncing. Two very different tracks that show how a double A side EP should be. Tromino is currently enjoying such a rich vein of creative form at the moment with much, much more to come in 2025. No wonder Bill Brewster’s wrote a chapter featuring Tromino next to Carl Cox in his seminal book How To DJ Properly.
