The Melbourne scene just keeps on delivering. The latest act to grab our attention is Close Counters, Finn Rees & Allan McConnell exciting duo. 

Following the success of their collaboration with Allysha Joy on "Speak In Truth", the duo deliver another broken house meets soul heater on 'Something In My Drink', the second single to be taken from their forthcoming 'FLUX' EP. 

Over a broken house groove, Melbourne based singer Jaydean sings of a night turned sour. JAYDEAN has previously collaborated with the likes of Kaiit, Sampa The Great and SZA. 

The duo describe The EP as a continuation of "our deeper exploration of dance and house music, projecting positivity through rhythm and song writing. 

Having started playing live with a full band during the development of this project we have incorporated a lot more live playing in these recordings. 

With a background in jazz we thrive off the spontaneity of jamming and improvising when developing our music and are constantly trying to find the sweet spot between multiple musical worlds of groove.”

Russian duo Scruscru and Mike Fot join forces for the ‘Spliff Jamz Vol.1’ EP on SlothBoogie Records this September.

Following a series of visits to Moscow between 2018 and 2020 to play at Powerhouse club, Scruscru would swing by Mike Fot’s apartment for a smoke and a jam session, working with a variety of Roland and Korg gear late into the night. The results of these sessions have led to a series of ‘Spliff Jamz’ EPs; with the first four tracks being presented now via SlothBoogie Records.

Today's exclusive is juicy slice of jazz funk from house music producer Art Of Tones in collaboration with jazz funkers Chatobaron.

Frappé is releasing its 1st studio EP on November 30th and it's a standout record: the parisian label has asked the great Art Of Tones to collaborate with the jazz / funk band Chatobaron, whose leader is Frank Chatona (from Cotonete).

This is a highly special project for the label, coming from the heart of its founders Basile de Suresnes and Ten Fingerz, who have had the will to create this unique collaboration between the amazing House music producer Art Of Tones and top-quality studio musicians. Under the direction of the House Music artist, the band led by Frank Chatona (Saxophone, drums, guitar, bass guitar and keyboards) have worked together on the tracks, which have been recorded during a very intense studio session in Paris. The result is a crystal-clear and warm sounding EP, which is a hybrid between the club sound and the jazz funk studio sound. Frappé has decided to celebrate this work the best possible way with a digital release and a limited edition vinyl pressing. Only 300 copies will be available, don't miss it!

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce! 4 all things POOLS >>> https://soundcloud.com/poolsmusic

For their first ever double-LP outing Razor-N-Tape presents POOLS, with a sun-drenched and laid-back collection of tunes called Innertubes. POOLS, the moniker of Los Angeles duo Thee Mike Bee and DJ Morsecode, craft a sound that conjures up the easy going swagger and soulful grit of the left-most coast. The first two sides of original versions read like an album, perfect for a lazy Sunday rooftop BBQ with beers, bros and blunts, (although no doubt some of these gems will find their way into DJs' warm-up and boom-bap sets). Sides C & D elevate the juncture to dance floor level, with smooth and varied remixes from RNT stalwarts Luvless and DJ Vas, plus label newcomers thatmanmonkz and Junktion.

8/9 ... made this track mostly with the virtual instrument of the Korg M1. Researched it, that they used it very often in the 90ties when making new jack swing ;)

Disco Grail is an overused word but in this case it's a fact. The Two best track from the LP every serious disco collector covets. It took a long time talking to members of the family to make this happen but we got there. Athens of the north has never been so happy to be bring a legitimate reissue of this out for the first time. ESSENTIAL these will fly.

MIMS is excited to share Ahu’s “I & I”, remixed by Edseven; an addictive slice of soul over hip hop beats that brings to mind classic trip hop, whilst sounding fresh at the same time. Taken from Ahu’s forthcoming ‘Platonic’ EP on Inner Tribe. Released on October 30.

A Red Bull Music Academy alumnus, Ahu has worked with the likes of Flying Lotus, Mr. Beatnick, Emanative and Simbad. Her self released single 'To:Love' produced by Paul White and Dimlite received world wide support by heavyweights such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke. A woman of many talents, Ahu also doubles as a DJ playing festivals such as Barcelona Sonar Festival, Southern Soul Festival, Brainfeeder as well as some of the scenes most iconic clubs & events including Plastic People, Boiler Room London and Gilles Peterson’s World Wide Awards. 

This is a woman with raw talent and a unique voice that you won't forget, whose songs have an original other worldly sound. Which no doubt led to her Emanative feature, "Turn Your Lights On", finding its way on to a short film for Miu Miu, directed by Ava DuVernay.   From writing songs for movie scores, some in languages other than her own, and with her last single 'Go' released by none other than Sony Music in 2019, on top of all this she also has earned herself a monthly radio slot on Worldwide FM called "Hour of Light".

Ahu is also a certified Astrologer, giving a deeper understanding and meaning to this extremely innovative album. Astrology is a symbolic language and the EP title 'Platonic' is related to Neptune. In "I & I " (Venus Square Neptune) in astrology it describes disappointment in situations of Love.

Armed with a unique ear, deep collection and a skill for combining diverse sounds, Sydney's Edseven has built a solid reputation as a DJ over the last 15 years as well as a producer/remixer and more recently as a promoter.

Edseven's production work draws upon a wide variety of influences, with releases including the dusty off kilter hip hop of his first two EPs on Straightup Recordings to his future focused 'Pigeon Clap' released via Frequency Lab on their Headroom compilation. Hs most recent outing was a single on Sydney based label Low Key Source featuring vocals from Colonel Red with remixes from Potato Head People & Grooveman Spot.

Released digitally on October 30 with physical to follow. ‘Platonic’ also features remixes by Kid Sublime, Roane Namuh and Inner Tribe co-founder Inkswel.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
