Banoffee Pies Records welcomes La Dame on the label with her 4 track EP entitled "Zumbidos", lightly translated as "Buzzing" in Portuguese. The collection brings together a multi instrumentalist approach to a spectrum of percussion heavy, bass driven dubstep influences from the Belgium based French artist.

A musical journey neatly curated with three featuring artists, all seemingly cohesive, despite the wide net of sonics, with aim to illustrate and reflect the different sounds inhabiting the city of São Paulo. The lead track, "Suaves Rumores" aka "Sweet Rumours" invites Mr. Jo, a well known Brussels musician in the bass' underground scene with a harmonica insert, reminiscent of the early 2000 FWD dubstep sounds of the UK.

Goldie B, the French singer, MC, and producer based in Marseille, then enters with "Conscious", a catchy percussion of vibrant spoken word. "Non Ducor, Duco", meaning "I'm not driven, I'm driving", the motto of São Paulo, further introduces the next phase of La Dame's musical explorations. The last track, produced in collaboration with Florian Pellissier, a great French pianist, currently working with Iggy Pop and part of Cotonete, Camarao Jazz Orchestra and Os Foda, finally culminates with a flurry of keys in a broken beat jazz hybrid with "Dazzled".

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

Mani Festo steps up for the first vinyl release on the Club Glow imprint following a series of cassette tapes exploring all corners of rave music. ‘All Night’ is filled with Mani Festo’s dynamic influences from trip-hop, dubstep, and garage with ‘Trackside’ a moody FWD style roller and a subtle nod to a miss-spent youth sneaking out and painting graffiti. 

Also on the EP are a couple of tracks which were elusive dubplates until now including ‘All Night’ and ‘Cheatin’. These records were staples in sets from the likes of Loefah, Orson, Youngsta, and Chunky. 

Club Glow is a collective of Borai, Denham Audio, Major and Mani Festo which launched in 2018 with a collaborative release from Denham Audio and Borai - ‘Club Glow Vol. 1’ and featured hits such as 'Make Me' and '6AM (How Do U Feel)'.

Quarantine Sonic Squad is a collective uniting many electronic producers and musical activists in France (and beyond), born under the epidemic era and brought together by Tim Karbon. Its aim is to create a musical corpus that has its roots in today's electronic / club music phenomenon, regardless of genre attributions of any kind.

QSS VOL. 2 "LOCKDOWN COMBAT" is our new militant album, following the initial "DAL de Vivre" project which was thought as a musical tool to gather funds and waving public attention upon bad housing problematics in France, increased by the COVID-19 pandemic. This first opus was released in May 1st of 2020 & quickly gained critical / media acclaim from the like of Resident Advisor, CouvreXChefs, SeekSickSound, Dure Vie...

After uniting our energies to work with the DAL - Droit Au Logement ("right to housing") french association, which is helping oppressed and homeless people to get safe spaces to live in, we are now joining forces with the BAAM, another solidarity collective based in Paris. They are providing to all refugees & migrants a juridic, cultural and social support through french classes, administrative help and housing solutions, among many other things. They have also created a LGBTQIA+ safe-space for asylum seekers facing daily homophobia or transphobia.

This 49-tracks album is our personal tribute to all the people threatened by governmental actions with the hunting of refugees, to all victims of police brutality & systemic racism. Spreading sonic love to all our brothers and sisters who face state violence and neoliberal laws that place economic growth of the few above the right to live with dignity for all human beings. The whole piece will be exclusively downloadable on Bandcamp for a low price, with all funds going to the BAAM to help them on militant and activism aspects.

Here is a link to the BAAM's website, to know more about their lovely work for dignity and respect :

"@fiestasoundsystem makes his Scuffed Recordings debut with the ‘How’s That?’ EP, featuring four new tracks exploring the spectrum of UK dance music.

The ‘How’s That?’ EP showcases Fiesta Soundsystem’s hardcore and rave influences, bolted together with UK club and bass rhythms; from the acid-tinged roller ‘Foundation’, and the warping title track, which echoes the moment when UKG transformed into dubstep; to the pummelling Amens of ‘Phlso’, and the sparse breaks of ‘Pych 130’."
