And I Think Of U (ft. Margaux Lonnberg)

A long-awaited sophomore EP from prodigiously talented @rossfromfriends. Dusty percussion, chopped MPC wizadry and fuzzy RnB vocal licks all combine to consolidate the EP's 90s, lo-fi aesthetic. 

Out on @lobster-theremin off-shoot Distant Hawaii.

HAWAII003 - You'll Understand [Distant Hawaii]

Ross From Friends - Gettin' It Done (STW Premiere)

"Tomahawk Records" is a new label that resists genres and hones in on the curation and sound of new artists. The label is keen to push undiscovered artists out into the periphery and give them the support to help grow as individuals.
The first release which is just round the corner is by the Australian duo "Anthony Fade", two hidden gems found on Soundcloud. Their process is a simple combination of hardware and software instruments and heavy use of ambient recordings and various samples. The EP titled "Like That" contains four tracks of late summer vibes, dreamy vocals and a massive dose of energy getting ready for winter.

PREMIERE : Anthony Fade - Like That

The corridor seemed endless as the bell buzzed in his ear. Leaving school was his favourite time of the day, such attention to detail in concentrated spells left him feeling numb and dry. As he walked through the wooden doors out into the daylight he could hear the sound of screams and chants from the nearby playground. He remembered the innocence of youth, back before exams, house parties and ate nights. He had never imagined himself to be a teacher, yet here he was lecturing the youth of tomorrow with the knowledge of today. Walking home he sighed. 

Scissorwork is set to release his first EP on the recently founded record label The Other Planet. He delivers four cuts of dreamy house and dusty grooves.

'Her Touch', is the epitome of a tropicalised groover geared for beach-side action and rooftop hoofing sessions. Volatile and lighthearted with its vibrant flights of xylophonic lines and piano-speckled motifs dissolving in fine volutes, this is the exact kind of track that'll carry the smile on your lips all the way through the summer, as we can finally set our sight into the deep blue sky and take a dip in the transparent waters of some cerulean creeks.

Brandon Knocke is a Portland-based musician who may be more familiar to you as @Body-san. Knocke has released music under a number of different aliases throughout the years, perhaps most notably as Discoverer, on the dreamier and more experimental side of the spectrum. His music as Body-San has a similar flavour to it, keeping that same West Coast haziness but generally in a more house-leaning direction. With two fantastic long format cassette tapes released via 100% Silk and 1080p, as well as a couple of singles over the past two years, Body-san is back with his first 12" which will be released by East London's Lo Recordings, a label that has quietly been around for 20 years, releasing music from a very wide variety of artists.

"Pacific Reasons" is a four track EP chock-full of sun-kissed melodies, warm chords and crisp percussion. From the twilight vibes of 'Topaz Chalice' to the meditative feelings of 'Central Casting' and 'Liquid Entrance', Brandon Knocke's music continues to evoke emotion while still being dance floor appropriate. The title track and our premiere today, B1 'Pacific Reasons' starts off very subdued with some airy chords and hazy atmospheres. The drums and bass act more like supportive elements in this slowly developing moody number rather than being up front and centre. Vocal melodies and synth lines emerge from the mist, like the sun peaking in through early morning fog until we get a chance to bask in the full warmth of its rays, but only for a brief moment as it is once again submerged in the clouds.

Dreams are a constant state. 
The cold depths of this state are prevalent in our everyday lives. 
We seek comfort, warmth and peace of mind. 
Embrace the depth, reveal your truth. 

Das ist eine Traumfolge.

Born and raised in Philadelphia but currently based in New York, Baltra has spent the last decade honing a sound that’s rich both in romance and melancholy. And always with warm, nostalgic melodies.

Releasing his first music in parallel with the lo-fi house explosion of the mid-2010s alongside artists such as Mall Grab, Ross From Friends and DJ Seinfeld, Baltra racked up millions of plays across YouTube and key streaming services with definitive releases on Step Rec., IDNK (I Do Not Know), Tape Throb Records, Shall Not Fade’s sub-label Lost Palms, Of Paradise as well as his own 96 and Forever Records imprints.

Baltra has always had an unstoppable approach and attention to detail that’s set him apart from so many of his production peers. Often using his own voice, or that of collaborators such as Park Hye Jin, rather than relying on samples, he explored both higher and lower tempos on his 2019 debut album ‘Ted’. 2021 saw him release two highly acclaimed EPs on Local Action (Ambition) that had remixes from Yazzus Remix, Martyn Bootyspoon, CFCF, Ariel Zetina and Wawa as well as on Bristol-based label Shall Not Fade (Dreaming Of A Disco), respectively.

The first half of 2023 has seen him return with his ‘Where I End’ mixtape which was released via the label head’s very own 96 And Forever Records that came out of the digital gates with top tier Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Amazon Music playlist placement as well as covers, support from RA, Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Ransom Note, and key dance radio support on BBC stations Radio 1 and 6 Music as well as Rinse FM and KEXP. 2023 has also seen him remix 'Gus Dapperton - Horizons' on Warner and 'DJ Q & Todd Edwards - Sweet Day' on Local Action with upcoming remix package for his mixtape ‘Where I End’ which includes tracks from Scuba, Jaquese Greene, DJ Q, and Guava.
