Dan Only returns for his third release on Dirt Crew Recordings with his "Deciduous Dubs EP". This release sees the Toronto-native continuing to explore new musical territories, leaving behind the past to rebuilt his framework from scratch. Armed with Akai Samplers, 90s Romplers and some tried and true Roland classics, Dan explores sounds informed by Dubstep, Hardcore, House and Techno.

The release opens with “Gateway Shuffle”. The half-time drums and breakbeats harken back to early dubstep and reinforce the ghostly harmonies that glide throughout. Warping basses, deep subs and distant voices welcome you into this sonic world.

“Terraforming” gives you hope in the unknown. The digital pads wash in as the meandering melodies invite you to take a leap of faith out into the open. A deep sub emerges amongst familiar four-on-the-floor kick patterns, providing the foundation needed to lose yourself to the groove. By the end, you’ll be dancing across new ground in a trance-like state.

“It’s Inside You” gets to the root of it all. Stripped back and ever-evolving, the bouncing bass-line and shapeshifting landscape contort around you as this techno groover pummels forward. This one is heady and contemplative, inviting a sense of self-discovery on the dance floor.

We end our trip with “Macrodose”. Diving through twisting basses and breakbeat science, you’re taken deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, much farther than you anticipated. There’s a stark contrast between the reality you once knew and the one you are now in. If you can push through the peak, you’ll be welcomed by a euphoric afterglow and renewed sense of clarity.

Finally making an appearance on his own label @breathingroomrecords, @igorbmusic is setting the mood for the transition from autumn to winter. The Raindrops EP sees the Canadian artist following up on his debut LP, Stranded Seaside, released earlier this summer on Ibiza’s NuNorthern Soul. Shedding the lower BPMs and sunny air of the album, this time he opts for more dancefloor-friendly compositions with some darker atmospheres cropping up as the release progresses from song 1 to 4, just as the weather does the same outside.

The title track features friend and talented collaborator Ian Usher. Together, he and Igor create a groove-laden piece that ebbs and flows just as an early fall day would transition from sun to rain and back again. From the swelling guitars in the break to the deep bass and the solo at the piece’s climax, Ian’s talents are on full display and merge beautifully with Igor’s production efforts. Second up is Dry Leaves, an upbeat solo composition that blends dusty percussion, Igor’s trademark element, with some arpeggiated synth work and deep, lush pads while falling keys in the latter half mimic leaves descending from their canopies.

Igor and Ian combine for another track on the release. Whirlwinds is an amalgam that brings together influences from all over the musical spectrum, with instruments such as the ney, oud and bongos winding together like the swirling updrafts of a late fall storm. The EP closer, Poseidon’s Calling, is the moodiest of the bunch. Haunting melodies and swelling pads combine to create a bittersweet atmosphere which reminds you that the dark days of winter are not so far ahead.Bass and guitars on Raindrops performed by Ian Usher.Bass guitar on Whirlwinds performed by Ian Usher.

He was in a trance, a daze, a haze. He walked down the busy street amidst passing faces and distant conversations but he was not there, not really. His mind was elsewhere, in a place where none of this mattered and smiling happy grins were all that could be seen. He danced a little, a spring in his step as he wandered in between crowds of people and their reckless ways. He was buggin' out in the most profound of senses - this was to be the best day of his life...

moon is set to release an EP on One Glove, the first outing on the newly launched record label. This is a groove based 2 steppin' shuffley affair. Perfect for those head down city commutes and the occasional jig.

PREMIERE: moon - Buggin [One Glove]

Laurence Guy returns to Shall Not Fade with his much-anticipated third EP, adding to last year’s massively successful ‘The Sun Is Warm and Directly Above You’ and ‘Your Good Times Will Come’. 

The London-based producer has amassed a global audience of listeners, all united in their appreciation for his luscious, upbeat house music and an outstanding discography of releases via imprints like: Ninja Tune, Late Night Tales, Studio Barnhus and Mule Musique.

While still unmistakably Laurence Guy’s signature style of delicately constructed, sample-heavy dance music, this EP carries a sombre note, reflective of the confusing times in which it was made. The A-side’s ‘Love Theme For The Morning After’ maintains a positive and danceable atmosphere, an ode to the moments of clarity and contentment we grasp in the afterglow. Musically, it is an ecstatic build-up of chords that leave you breathless, with a rhythm that pulses as consistently as a heartbeat throughout.  
By comparison to this joyfully glittering track, the B-side deals with more difficult emotions. Throughout ‘Mutual Excitement’, barely distinguishable vocal samples overlap each other in a hazy clamour, whilst natural keys play a bittersweet melody, pondering the uncertainty of a new relationship. Guy says of the final track, ‘Certain (To A Certain Extent)’ “2020 was a hard year to be certain of anything, I found myself frozen in pretty much every decision I had to make”. The song, a stripped-back melody built from a low fidelity jazz sound palette, is not just an exploration of the sense of uncertainty 2020 gave us, but expresses Guy’s acceptance of living without certainty. This soothing message is at the core of the EP, managing to create a sense of hope during an unsettled time.

Mutual Excitement is a Wonderful Thing EP is out February 25th on Shall Not Fade
