Philip D Kick - As We Continue

Philip D Kick - As We Continue (APHA022)

OG Footwork

After his sold out "Fight dem Back/Nu Gun" 12" in 2017, Sun People returns with a banger of an EP on Berlin's Through These Eyes. We are happy to bring you the first listen of "Work" off the new 
"Stumble & Grow EP." With soulful groove, gliding keys  and funky bass stabs, Sun People shows why his unique flavor combination makes him one of the tastiest producers cooking up beats at 160. He skillfully combines the powerful rhythms of Footwork, the deepness of (old school) Jungle, with a spicey dash of Detroit.

Stumble & Grow EP [TTE008]

[ PREMIERE ] Sun People- Work

Today we bring you a fresh premiere off Toronto based Deviant Audio imprint's first compilation, 'DEVIATIONS'! "Eel Money" is a big bass womper from Slovakia's Johney. His cheeky halftime number is a fun dance floor stomper, and an alluring invitation to check out the other 14 tunes on the compilation by hybrid bass faves like Doctor Jeep, Bell Curve, Levrige, Groves and even a collab from Deviant Audio's own Stranjah and Captivate.

Deviations puts on display the full spectrum of forward-thinking bass music. And lives up to Stranjah’s vision for the label to be a platform for exploring non-conventional approaches to established genres. Their contribution to the evolution of bass music is out everywhere April 7th 2020.

[PREMIERE] Johney - Eel Money

A1. EVA00
A2. Douglas Descend
B1. Innocence
B2. LSD

Viers rolls through with a unique 4-track, club oriented EP entitled ‘Innocence’ for Typeless. After some previously highly acclaimed releases, the Leeds based artist reinforces his supremacy with a fiercely diverse electronic voyage.


‘EVA00’ on the A side offers up a hybrid electro-breaks infused sound with rolling basslines and euphoric melodies, encapsulating yet to be heard futuristic club cuts. Whilst ‘Douglas Descend’ adheres to a more classically punchy techno sonic with hypnotic kicks and a protruding industrial snare. B-Side’s ‘Innocence’ is a dark bass-heavy electro track that is masterfully mind-bending. The EP is then rounded off by the warehouse inspired track entitled ‘LSD’, reminiscent of big room rave settings of the 90’s.

A high energy club ready EP.

Viers - 'Innocence' [TPLS003]

We've got some of Vancouver's finest on deck for mix number 77! Production/DJ duo Levrige aka Erski & J.F.Killah rep Vancouver's famed SHAHdjs crew, and have been honing their skills for years. Producing their own unique brand of infectious bass music, they represent an exciting wave of talent from Canada's West Coast. Effortlessly combining elements of Drum & Bass, Hip Hop, Jungle and Footwork, their music is a perfect representation of all that is right with underground dance music.The iconic melodies and depth in their work is evident in their sound, which ranges from tough badboy swagger to smooth dubby grooves. With releases on Hospital, Aufect, Black Tuna, East Van Digital, Shadow Trix, and Deviant Audio there is plenty more in the works. Be sure to keep it locked on Levrige for big releases and collaborations on the horizon.

Trax Haven is a footwork/halftime/jungle label run by DJ Jetski (London) and Airpods (Manchester), They were originally a youtube mix series to show there passion for footwork but now they’ve expanded to running events and a fully fledged label with radio support on Radio 1, RInse Fm and Reprezent.
Their upcoming release Council Trax 01 is out on the 1st of May, featuring Polo Lilli, Harka, Rascal, Lucid, Archetype and Samurai Breaks.

We are thrilled to premiere “Dont Ya Know” by Harka, a grimey halftime number fusing UK sounds with US rhythms to create a unique and emotive piece.
The tune is led by a chunky square wave bass and pitched vocals driving you forward till the beefy kick slaps the air out of your chest, setting pace against the snappy 808 snare.
Harka is a relatively new name, but this Yorkshire lad is definitely one to watch in the future, his unique take on footwork and halftime is very melodic, pulling influences from across the board.

Astrophonica maintain pace in 2020 as Philip D Kick returns to the label with the 6 track “As We Continue”. Following 2018’s “Pathways” Jim Coles aka Om Unit aka Philip D Kick adds some shine and sparkle to his already near perfect and persistent formula. Coles remains dedicated to blurring the lines and joining the dots. As we continue . . .

‘Drips’ sets the pace and opens the flood gates with a flowing groove and lingering bass womps like condensation off a low ceiling. ‘160909313’ steamrolls through with a constant Turbo drum machine drive accelerated by a non stop rolling bass riff. The doors are well and truly blown off in ‘Funk 160’ as a planet rocking breakbeat and infectious chord stabs set the pace with confidence and class. Balmy pads caress a lazy groove in ‘Summer Moods’ and conjure feelings of long evenings and ever lasting sunsets. The Riviera is all bit crushed pads and elite level breakbeat science while you enjoy the passing vistas. ’Clouds’ brings this episode to a close with a smooth glide through the stratosphere and beyond with 4/4 kicks and luscious bass arp.

'This record for me reflects the ongoing conversation between cultures and styles where jungle meets footwork meets techno, 3 cultures that share more in common than perhaps people realise, and for me this is more of a in-depth exploration for example of sonic tropes more prevalent in the world of detroit techno than other previous records. 'Clouds' and '160909313' for example being somewhat of an homage to Detroit, the birthplace of techno, yet another black music that changed the world.' - Philip D Kick / Om Unit
