DJ Slyngshot - Battlecat

DJ Fett Burger & @jaydagmusic drop into a sunset beach party just as things take a turn for the trippy. Crushed claps, shifting reverbs, off kilter hats and a very Norweigian lead synth...the more they add, the better it gets.

Taken from a collaborative EP with @lukesolomon & @jonnyrock, out on @futureboogie.

Rhythm Section International (@bradleyzero) releases are connected by a certain sound; there is a feeling that brings these records together and makes them cohesive. Rhythm Section has cultivated this Peckham vibe despite the fact that several of its artists are transplants from the opposite side of the world: Dan Kye (aka Jordan Rakei) comes from Brisbane, and Chaos In The CBD relocated from Auckland. The group behind the track we are premiering today also hails from down under.

30/70 (@thirtyseventy)are a collective from Melbourne who fuse jazz, hip-hop, r&b, soul and funk to create striking pieces. Their debut album, « Cold Radish Coma, » incorporates free-jazz experimentalism into lush harmonies alongside the addictive melodies of lead singer Allysha Joy. It truly is an incredible listen.

The band’s new record, « Elevate, » presents a stylistic synthesis with a refined structure. Instead of separate interludes, songs are accompanied with preludes and conclusions reminiscent of Radiohead’s robotic ‘Fitter Happier,’ as well as ad-libbed instrumentals. The opening song, ‘Slangin,’ is a slow-burning cosmic-jazz exploration until its dramatic change-up to distorted funk-rap. The A2 track, ‘Lucid,’ provides a transition, contrasting complex rhythms beneath an arpeggiated synth motif, which feeds perfectly into ‘Nu Spring.’

PREMIERE : 30/70 - Nu Spring

@FunkenWavetropi busted onto the scene last year with his debut release on his then brand new imprint, @PerfectStraight. The first record was a cute little 7" entitled Pizza Dealer which ended up garnering quite a bit of success with plays from tastemakers across the globe. Since then, the Aguascalientes, México-based producer has put out a single on a VA for Whyte Numbers (recently played by Move D in his Boiler Room Berlin 6th anniversary session) and a digital download as well via his own label. Now, he's prepped his first 12" for release with the title track and our premiere today, Feel Me, being the main reason as to why the label is more than just a concept, 2 years after the initial idea was born.

What's immediately noticeable about Funken Wavetropi's productions is the funky and bouncy bassline in each tune and it is once again front and centre on Feel Me. This one's got a classic deep house vibe about it with a more modern twist. The swelling chords, sampled diva-esque vocal shout and vintage horns are all reminiscent of the 90's, but the accompanying synth work and bubbly bass are what give it its contemporary flare. The track is also a bit of a burner, gradually evolving as it progresses on its 7 minute journey and we're sure it's going to get some serious emotions flowing on the dance floor.

Vinyl heads beware, the record which is pressed on transparent vinyl will only have 150 copies available, so be sure to get your pre-orders in.

X-Kalay are ringing in their milestone 10th release with a various artist compilation, and what a release it is. Launching only last year, the London-based imprint has put out quite a few releases already from artists such as Rudolf C, Kask and No Moon amongst others. Their sound ranges from more melodic, lo-fi sounding productions to dubbed out and downright acid-y tracks. Their 10th release features producers from three continents. Mucho Sueno from Chile, two Australians in E.Davd and Escape Artist, and finally Zurich, Switzerland-based Douala who we're premiering today.

With a couple of releases on Gnork's label Blorp, Douala has been crafting a bit of a name for himself in the lo-fi scene. Generally his productions have a more melodic flare but in this case, the A1 track Mysteries of Life strays a bit from what we've come to expect from the producer. Taking a more minimalistic and dubby approach, the single has a hypnotic air about it with an upbeat rhythm but spaced out and reverberating cosmic synths, perfect for the late night hours. This instrospective tune is not one you want to miss out on and the rest of the release is a treat as well!

PREMIERE : Douala - Mysteries Of Life

@wewillalwaysbealovesong is a French label with a very impressive back catalogue, bringing together the likes of Ilija Rudman, Tevo Howard and @PontyMython (who is the subject of today's Premiere). This is their 11th outing, the second of which has been pressed to wax. This is essentially a remix EP, harnessing the talents of Black Loops, Nebraska, Jay Haze and @Bal5000. Bal5000 is the alias of Bálint Forgács, a producer hailing from Budapest with previous appearances on the Dirt Crew sub-label Speil and the Nachtbraker headed Quartet Series.


The original track 'So What Did You Expect' released just over a month ago is a typically quirky affair, with plinky melodies and a funky bass line to boot. What Bal5000 has done with his interpretation is strip everything right back to it's basics. The intro of the remix is sublime, taking the chords and pads of the original and laying filtered smatterings of the beats creating an almost cosmic feel. Kicking fully in at just over 3 minutes, you would be forgiven for thinking that it dragged on a little too much but boy oh boy that it most definitely the case here, just the right amount of variation and tease before the beats and bassline are introduced after a rather large resonated high pass filter. There are many nice little sub-melodies and phrases going on in this remix, maybe some will missed in a club environment but on a set of decent headphones this can truly be appreciated for what it is; a brooding slow burner with amazing spatial qualities.

PREMIERE : Ponty Mython - So What Did You Expect (Bal5000 Back To 96 Remix)

@Blaq-Numbers (and sometimes Whyte Numbers) is back with its fourth artist EP and, this time around, they’ve landed a low-key 5-tracker from the increasingly in-demand @Jesse-Bru. It would seem every underground label on its come-up is after the Berlin-based producer and the man’s output is nothing short of impressive. 'How u really feel' rounds out another strong year for the artist whose discography already includes releases on Heart to Heart, Axe on Wax, Piff, and a full-length album on Audio Parallax.

The title track starts the EP off with an unsettling vocal sample before getting into a swinging drum machine groove alongside a distinctly cheerier, driving chord progression. This won’t be the only interesting juxtaposition on the EP as standout track 'Turn you loose' also begins with an unnerving vocal sample — albeit a much longer, darker one before turning into a hard grooving edit-style track that Bru is known for. Whether this works as intended will be left up to the listener.

The @Folamour remix flips the underlying chord progression and brings it to the front of the mix — amping up the energy a few notches in the process. Loose percussion and live drum samples contrast the beefed-up chords and, together, make for a remix that stays true to the original.

If you monitor the house music scene coming out of Hong Kong, a name that you've probably heard of before is Romain Fx. For the past 10 years or so, Romain has been a key innovator in the HK scene, spearheading fresh concepts such as Roofest, the island's first rooftop festival and organizing monthly parties called ROAM in which he brings international artists such as Jayda G, Move D, Habibi Funk, Demuja to the city. Even if you're not too familiar with what is happening over that part of the world, you might even recognize him from his extensive touring in Europe, where he's played alongside the likes of Breakbot, Classixx, Kaytranada, College, Kolombo, Gigamesh, LNTG, FKJ, and many more.

In his latest effort, the French musician sets out with his Los Angeles brethren of Fantastic Voyage to release a collection of edits ranging from afro house to obscure disco cuts. The tune we're premiering for you guys today is an edit of Kamzu's song Indaba Kabani, which came out of South Africa during the early 90s. For those who love the original, you'll be happy to find out that RFX pays a lot of respect to it; choosing not to alter the original in a dramatic fashion. Instead, RFX simply makes it a tool that can easily be incorporated in DJ sets for you and me to unleash on the dancefloor! He's truly doing God's work here and we thank him for it.

PREMIERE: Kamazu - Indaba Kabani (RFX Edit)

Our next premiere comes to you from rhythm section aficionado Contours. After the much acclaimed Loose Wood EP back in 2016, North West is the Manchester Producer’s second release for Shall Not Fade. North West is brimming with all the delicacies we have come to expect from a Contours EP:  jazzy rhodes chords, tasty sax licks, and incredibly intricate polyrhythmic drum patterns.

Our choice cut from the EP is the title track, North West. The track opens with an airy repeating trumpet line that slowly rises much like the morning fog, as shimmering bells begin to sway around in the mix like a brisk gust on wind chimes. This eventually gives way to an entrancing conga pattern that pitters and patters like rain drops on a roof. Eventually a 2-step kick comes in and adds even further bounce to the track. On North West, Contours showcases his unique ability to fuse jazz and afro-beat influences into a pulsing thought provoking journey through a misty and grayscale terrain. Be sure to check out the full EP which you can purchase on vinyl or digital format here.

When it comes to seriously good disco chuggers or edits, it’s fair to say that Orlando’s Sleazy McQueen, head honcho of Whiskey Disco and it’s sublabel Lovedancing, has the Midas touch for quite some time. Each and every record he decides to put out turns to solid black gold. Bolting Bits had an absolute pleasure to premiere tracks from two of the previous Lovedancing releases: LD03 which featured Tel Aviv’s underground beacons Rabo & Snob and LD06 which came from a French producer Closed Paradise and included masterfully crafted remixes from Texan The Silver Rider and Detroit’s Pontchartrain. It looks (and hears) like gold was struck yet again with the latest Lovedancing output. This time Sleazy is introducing Dagfest, a producer duo from Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm.

With previous releases on Ben Davis’ Paperecordings, Montreal’s Editorial records and UK’s ISM records, Dagfest should’ve found the place in the hearts and minds of cosmic funk aficionados. The latest offering from a duo comes as a 4 track vinyl with 2 original compositions and 2 remixes from NYC’s Superior Elevation Records boss Tom Noble and from Lovedancing CEO Sleazy McQueen himself.

Today Boltings Bits are happy to premiere the A1, title track of the release. “Falling in Love” is laden with funky guitars, catchy synths and a soulful vocal about one of the most beautiful feelings on Earth. “Dagfest” stands for day party in Swedish, but we are convinced that rather uptempo beat of this groover will surely provide enough charm and energy to stir and move dancefloors around the globe no matter whether it’s day, or night. Get your dancing shoes ready!

PREMIERE: Dagfest -  Falling In Love

The great city of Amsterdam is a place rich in culture and beauty and is especially true when it comes to electronic music. De Dam boasts talent on all fronts – home to huge festivals such as Dekmantel and ADE as well as the prominent record store, Rush Hour. Hidden deep in the cities veins is another treasure in the form of Bordello A Parigi, a record store come label sitting pretty in Oudezijds Kolk releasing and distributing outstanding music since 2011.

Next out the oven for Bordello is a gorgeous 3-track masterpiece from Berlin-based duo, Longhair. Marko and Bene have curated a distinctive sound for Longhair seemingly inspired by the electronic sounds of the 80s and more specifically similar synth driven influences that came from Italy in the 1990’s.

Following theme for their debut EP with Bordello is a synth-rich masterpiece with that Italo touch as mentioned earlier, all the while complimented by powerful kick drums and broad bass that cutting through at lightening velocity. Our undisputed favourite of the release goes to ‘Bunny’, blissful gem starting out with that all familiar bellowing kick before being quickly joined by a dancing synthline full of funk and life. Longhairs exceptional percussion-work perfectly ties the whole thing together to create a soundscape able to uplift and destress anyone at any time. This EP is an example of why we get excited every single time we get wind of a Bordello A Parigi release, be sure not to miss out on Longhair’s fantastic debut EP.

PREMIERE: Longhair - Bunny

Our next premiere comes from DJ Moonbeam, and is the first drop on SITU, a newly formed Lobster Theremin sub-label. DJ Moonbeam has been known to craft hazy cuts that drift through different shades of the Deep House spectrum. Apus De Soare showcases the producers evolving sound and ability to create tunes that are as apt for the dancefloor as they are for the home. 

Our fave is the title track Apus De Soare. It’s a slow burner with massive filter swoops and stabby chord rhythms. As the track progresses, you feel yourself leaving dancefloor as you ascend out of orbit and into space. Cosmic waves of arpeggiated synths find their way careening the mix, while the thumpy bassline steadies the ship throughout its voyage. Moonbeam has honed an eclectic palette of Deep House sounds and distilled it into something uniquely his own.

SITU is a vinyl only label. Support the artist and pick yourself up a copy!
