Palf - Shanti

Maroki launches the Spitskool Records imprint with 3 cuts of absolutely devastating club orientated sounds. 

Spitskool is a platform for Maroki and Coralie AKA ‘MXC’ and friends to release their music that perhaps wouldn’t fit elsewhere. Although it seems there is now a home at last.

The opening track; No - turned heads and shredded ears when first played at Haai & Daniel Avery’s renowned Junction 2 set back during Covid club closures - sparking a frantic online ID search. It has laid dormant since but cropped up in a handful of mixes and clubs around the world played by such selectors as GigiFM, Mad Miran and MSJY. It has since been re-mixed and mastered and is now coming out as the opening title of this EP. ‘No’ is a no-bullshit, straight up minimal broken techno affair. An arpeggiated bass rips through the track with surgical percussion lending support when needed. A crispy amen break keeps the piece rattling along with reese basses searing throughout.

‘AC4XT’ is a sleeping giant, again using the powerful rips and an earth shattering break and a sub that is oh so reminiscent of the old DMZ days but wholly different. The synth lines are tactile - loud, almost overpowering at times but once they disperse the space that is left is wide and compelling.

Finally Tremor - the clattering foray into Maroki’s chaotic mind. Techno in its simplest form but not. Sonically comparable to scaffolders losing their minds and dropping the structure in time to a 4 to the floor beat. Injections of pure noise and reprocessed breaks bring this track to fruition as a peak time destructive force.

On remix duties we have Coralie - known for his incredible release ‘Barney’s Maze’ on Quoth, which was subsequently picked up by editors at both Phonica Records & NinjaTune last year as being one of the most slept on releases of the year. We also have Tectonic regular & early mentor to Maroki ‘Elmono’ who has awoken from a slumber while mastering the dark arts of modular sound design in Lisbon for the last 5 years. Both throwing their hats into the ring for this series.

Coralie’s flip is as powerful as the original & showcases his textural and stylistic approach to forward thinking bass music. Elmono sticks true to his form and serves a cut that is beyond perfect. Walking the tight line between minimal and powerful simultaneously while sticking to his signature sound.

We also have Maroki & Coralie pitching in as MXC for not one but two remixes of Tremor - both evolved versions of the original that are standalone tracks in their own right. The minimal edit is an ode to their collaborative work together thus far. Racking bass and percussion into scorching sonic slop. The 2nd edit takes the original somewhere else entirely. Broken beats, confused sounds and hypnotic experimental grooves lead this down a very different path. An insight into what’s to come from the illusive duo later this year.

Keep you eyes and ears peeled for the physical release as there will only be a run of 30 limited edition pressings with limited edition artwork from the fabled dutch illustrator ’Sjondebaron’

Weighing in with more of the deadly payloads that make systems weep, Alan Johnson return to Sneaker Social Club to finish what they started on 2022's The Stillness EP.

Gareth and Tom's sharp instinct for the fundamentals of crushing half-step pressure remain undiminished on this latest EP. Their sound palette reaches across contrasting strands of music culture, and every bar is teeming with micro details of sound design which give the tracks a living, breathing quality.

GYRO! - Dreamland Dance (GR33G Remix)

Expensive Sounds

DJ QGB - The Truth (ft. Rose1401) [ACEN057]

Lacuna returns swiftly for thirds, offering a now-cursory split EP from Chile’s Nicoba and Peru’s DJ Latinchat. 4 tracks trading on a futurist dembow tip, bridging a stunning array of global club sounds into delirious transmissions of vital latinx dancefloor mutations.

Nicoba steps up to the plate first with ‘Encuentros en el Fin del Mundo’, optimistically stepping on its doomsday surroundings by shaking its traditional reggaeton rump in cosmic delirium, bordering on galactic euphoria throughout its supposed endtimes. ‘Pensándote’ is next, shifting the tempo to boil garbled vocals and fizzing sound design amongst a techno dembow pump.
.
DJ Latinchat tags in to continue the walls-sweating dancefloor pressure with ‘Keribel’, a raptor-like stomper with clever vocal cuts and a tight coil of pressurised drum rollage. ‘Cafuné’ is our close, a sincere yet deadly dancehall and half-time lurcher that seesaws on a tension and release edge with a devious glare.

Summer VA

Wanna Get Mad

Heading into Autumn, we bring you release No.36 in our catalogue, and it is brought to you by none other than London's own Lauren Steel. Hailing from the capital, she brings you three peak-time club cuts that will rock the dancefloor with pure drive and energy.

And for the remix, we kindly present Libero Records' very own Mike Morrisey & Dan Costello. The boys join forces to provide their version of the A1 track 'Rock Steady' that really shows versatility and a bassline that will rock any sound system. 

It's an absolute pleasure to have Lauren, Mike & Dan feature on the label.
