‘For A Minute’ is an atmospheric rap ballad where German producer wielandwieland seamlessly blends their smooth, melodic production style with the chill, introspective flow of American rapper Mile. Set against a soothing sample, the track explores themes of self-reflection and fleeting thoughts, offering an immersive experience that bridges rap and ethereal vibes. This perfect fusion of German musicality and American emotion is ideal for fans of thoughtful, melodic rap.

Peter Matson's "White Noise" featuring Kendra Morris (Colemine) takes listeners on a vibrant journey, blending a punchy disco vibe with late-night haziness. The track features kinetic percussion, synths, and guitars by Matson, layered with Sly5thAve’s string arrangements, all anchored by Vito Roccoforte's (The Rapture) drums and Mattie Safer's (Poolside)  bass. This collaboration captures both fresh and classic elements, making "White Noise" a dance floor essential.

"Silver Bass," Eliot Lipp's followup track to "Kona,"  is somehow simultaneously more organic and more digital. This one sets sail with live drums, an electric bass & guitar groove with some layered piano samples. A dueling saxophone and Moog help shape the melody, and before long everything begins to morph into a digitally sequenced version of itself. Acoustic instruments are swapped with broken synth cuts and drum machines setting this breezy electro jam out on a journey.

Moods & Nic Hanson set the night in motion with 'Music Never Looked So Good'. Riding the momentum of their previous collaboration 'Sinner', they showcase their undeniable chemistry while elevating the Moods sound to new heights.

Sammy Bananas, known mainly for his work on A-Trak's groundbreaking NYC label Fool's Gold flexes his versatility offering up 3 flavors of piano based, club ready dance tracks on his debut EP for Bastard Jazz, the "Piananana EP". The signature funky and quirky style which he developed over a decade of releases is still audible, but the material here is geared more towards foggy late night basements. “Non-Stop” is built around hypnotic, syncopated stabs which slowly grow into a bass heavy stomper, while “Thrilla” meets somewhere between Bmore and Hardcore while still staying in the pocket. “Finesse” is a hauntingly soulful groove with a snaking analog bass line and Parisian producer Hugo LX, fresh off an EP with DJ Spinna, rounds out the release with a reserved and enticing take on “Non-Stop”.

Brooklyn producer and party maestro Sammy Bananas lives up to his name. This Fool’s Gold OG has proven himself as a master of the club jam, writing tunes that pay respect to dance music’s past while simultaneously charting it’s quirky, funky future. After a decade of singles and EPs, he welcomes his debut full length “Someday” to the world.  Through a diverse array of songs featuring 13 guest vocalists, he leads the listener on a journey which Billboard says “Drips in summer perfection…flirty, grown and sexy, hype and hella fun. It’s a must have for your rotation.” 

Outside of original tunes, he crafts official remixes for big names like Chromeo, Tinashe and even Maroon 5 while his acclaimed and tasteful bootlegs of tracks by Miguel, JT and Anderson .Paak are DJ staples which transcend narrow subgenres.  Sammy Bananas has rocked dance floors in over 100 cities across the globe, sharing stages with the likes of A-Trak, Kenny Dope and Hayden James. Whether it’s an all-wax set in LA at the Do-Over, cutting edge house at Durrr in London and Rhonda in LA, traveling further afield on a recent Asia tour, or his appearance at MOOG fest, he always delivers with his uniquely funky yet focused style.
