London based Undaground Therapy Muzik affiliate Al Zanders makes a welcome return to Roy Davis Jr.’s imprint this summer with Stars of IG. After a brief hiatus the A-Z Records founder and Balamii mainstay has created a playful, Chicago house and Nu-disco inspired three tracker.

“In a similar vein to the Guidance EP, this is a nod to the classic sounds of Chicago house and Nu-disco, done in Zander's own style. Roy, alongside producers such as Quincy Jones, Boo Williams and Soichi Terada all influenced the deep and melodic sound of this release. B2 'With Racionzer' features the very talented Ben Racionzer on the trumpet”. Al Zanders

Title track Stars of IG demonstrates how Zanders is a master of blending unique samples and grooves to create a cohesive sound. Highlighting the artist’s skill at using percussion to its full potential, the track builds into a mischievous yet serene soundscape. Continuing the theme of jazz laced house, Spring Boo is a sophisticated number, with glitchy samples layered over a shimmering baseline. Renowned for his soulful sampling and use of live instrumentation the slick Racionzer is last up, with the track name referencing Zander’s collaboration with musician Benjamin Racionzer on trumpet.

Originally from Sheffield, Zanders first released on UTM in 2018 with his Guidance EP, breaking the label’s sixteen year hiatus in not releasing any music. Regularly supported by his peers, Zander’s music has featured in Midland’s Dekmantel Boiler Room, Gilles Peterson’s 6 Music show, Leon Vynehall’s BBC Essential Mix, Denis Sulta’s Mixmag Cover mix and more. Zander’s track Long Gone on Blind Jacks Journey recently surpassed 3 million streams on Spotify.

Tapping into the sounds of deep, soulful house and disco originating from around the world, Zanders' sets have seen him touring globally. Whether it’s a small basement club in Tokyo, XOYO in London or festivals including Lost Village and Gotwood. Started in 2016, Zander’s A-Z Records is still based in Sheffield and thanks to its diverse and bold output tastemakers including Mixmag, Resident Advisor, Boiler Room and DJ Mag have all supported the label.

Valtinho Jr - Back To The Raw (Kerry Chandler Ruff Mix)LightAndDayMusic

Parisian duo Keraw, founder of Studio 937, offer up their new EP ‘In My Soul’ this March via Switzerland’s APRH  Record, comprising four originals, one of which is in collaboration with Mario Liberti and  Dusty Fingers.  

Keraw is the collaborative guise of Paris based duo Bruce Vanderro and Lucas Moinet,  over the past few years the pair have been steadily unveiling their take on classic house  sounds with a modern twist via the likes of Plastik People Recordings, Groovin  Recordings, JASOM and their own Maestropolis and Planete Keraw labels. Here though,  the pair join the roster of the DimSum helmed, Switzerland based APRH (Addictive  Pleasure Real Healing) Records, a perfect home for their material with a growing back  catalogue of sturdy house cuts on the label since its inception in 2018.  

Leading the EP is the ‘In My Soul (937 Main Mix)’, featuring Dusty Fingers & Mario Liberti, laid out across seven and a half minutes with swinging drums, airy chords, glistening keys,  tension building strings and classic house inspired vocal chants throughout. The ‘Multichord of Madness (MPC Club Mix)’ follows and strips things back to a bumpy bass line, crisp, shuffled percussion, an amalgamation of bright stab sequences and shimmering atmospherics.  

‘La Segunda Vibra (Original Club Mix)’ then kicks off the b-side, smoothly drifting back into jazzy house realms  through wandering keys, a funk-infused bass line and organic drums before the ‘Midnight Sherbert (Deeper Mix)’ rounds out the EP, fusing resonant synth licks, classic house chords and a distorted bass groove with a heavily swung, saturated rhythm.

Starting of peaceful vibes, Knuckle G track is a relaxing yet thrilling groover. Spreading this feeling, B.K Mik delivers a slow-alike groove on a solid break beat. With a bunch of aerial vocals covering a steady bassline, Le Hutin dives into deeper waves. 

Hotmood's Coffy definetively comes up with a tasteful disco to house dynamic tune. Thirsty Guys follows by with a powerful dancefloor tool, a bumpy bassline supporting a heavy sampling work. The release close on this delightful heavy dub of Vanderkraft, at the crossroads of rap energy and loud bigroom approach.
