Kicking things off for 2024 on Lava Lava is London-based producer Raj Panasa a.k.a. Bearface with an ode to the creative freedom of Jazz. Previous releases on Defected, Vatos Locos, Exploited and his own Beartone Records have shown his depth of skill and musicality in weaving together analogue instrumentation with digital equipment and sampling. His Harlesden Shuffle EP combines the warmth of old school Jazz records unearthed in dusty crates with the energy and flow of contemporary Deep House to make the perfect record for candle-lit bars and free & easy dance floors.

Title track Harlesden Shuffle opens up with driving 4/4 drum patterns, sub-heavy bass and a tripped out vocal sample. A hypnotic trumpet loops lead through to an absolutely sublime rhythm section. As the trumpet becomes faster and looser so does the 808-style hand claps, creating an irresistible head-nodding and body-moving track.

On the B Side, French Orkestra is a rich and Deep tapestry where warm bass and soft trumpets bounce alongside shuffling percussion. As the track develops playful piano licks, joyful clarinets and beautiful flute sections weave throughout. Looped and warped vocals add the final layer to this cut, contrasting more modern digital production methods with stunning instrumentation.

It's hard for me to pinpoint the first time I ever heard an Acid Bassline on a proper system but I do remember being pulled in right away to its unique squelchy, resonant and hypnotic sound.

As Luke Vibert said: “I Love Acid, it’s the sound you can’t improve.”

From its failed inception as a mere accompaniment to guitars, the TB-303 rose to become the heartbeat of a cultural movement, birthing a genre that swept the globe: Acid House.

Shout out to some of the incredible Artists behind the tracks I've selected here; Acidulant, Sound Synthesis, Posthuman, Mike Ash, Jex Opolis & Luke Vibert.

Happy 303 Day comrades! Keep it Real, Keep it Acid!

With the warmer weather making a welcome return, i am indeed extending a warm welcome myself to Tumbian as the duo come back to the label.

Hyperbolic is a dreamy, breezy progressive breaks number with catchy hooks and driving b-lines. This will sound at home pumped across a sunny field just as it will beating through headphones curled up cosy on the sofa. There's also a retro, almost nostalgic feel to proceedings, which harks back to shades of Orbital and other UK festival favourites.

On the flip side, I bring a more meaty, acid fuelled flex to proceedings. Incorporating many of the original drum and arppegiator samples while adding my own syncopated basslines and evolving vocal leads while keeping a similar pace. I really enjoyed producing this remix, it was wicked, so i hope you can enjoy it too.
