‘What’s My Derivative?’, is the new label from London/Brighton-based duo Casino Times. Much like the radio show of the same name, WMD? aims to release music that explores the unusual spaces between house & techno, showcasing emerging producers and former guests of the show. Artists are invited to interpret the sound of the label as they see fit, giving them the freedom to explore different styles without the constraints of any rules. Profits from WMD?001 will be directed towards the Trussell Trust, an incredible charity that helps those most in need in the UK [trusselltrust.org].

WMD?001 kicks off with 'How I Came To Find Myself' from mul.apin. The Berlin resident sets the tone for the release by opening with a dramatic, hair-raising string sample.  The track is brushed with gentle synth stabs and a distant melody that dances gracefully across this heavy hitter.

Up next is High Hopes, the mysterious producer that has not made an appearance, since featuring on Casino Times’ 2014 release on Wolf Music Recordings. High Hopes is a master of programming and the hypnotic 'Mind Art' demonstrates just that; a captivating blend of swirling pads and rhythmic elements that weave the listener through a dream-like soundscape.

London-based Baby Rollen delivers a real moment on the release with 'Tyst Eufori', a peak summertime boogie that skilfully deploys a washed-out vocal - perfect for dancefloors under the sun.

Finally, Casino Times closes the release with the psychedelic 'Bloom', a track that’s been a feature in Casino sets for a few years now, with big drums that were made with bass bins in mind.

PREMIERE: Buzz Compass - Not In Game [Inhale Exhale]

VINYL: https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/eli-escobar-find-a-way-ep-pre-order-phonica-records/178923

New York House and Disco legend Eli Escobar has been releasing music for over 20 years under various aliases as well as running incredible parties and his own label Night People. We’ve been huge fans of his productions over the years and when a chance to release some of his stellar music on our Phonica main label came about, we were over the moon.

The “Find A Way EP” kicks off with “FindAWay2Day”, combining heavy hitting 808 drum work with deeply satisfying vocal samples, a beyond groovy bassline and 80s Electro-Funk galore. “Something Inside Of Me” leans towards a classic US Deep Garage House blueprint, with sampled chord stabs, mesmerising vocal hooks and MPC style swung drum programming.

Over on the B-Side, jacking House meets Deep Detroit Techno on “Down All Day” with a frenzied, chopped and replayed vocal melody melding with lush and relaxing pads until the piano line enters and pushes the track into pure euphoria. Finally “Daywun” conjures memories of the best funk of the 1980s, propelled by a bass riff that weaves through the drum hits and smacks just right, layering it with chords that feel like driving through California’s highways at midnight and an Electro Hip hop B-Boy style rap sample. The EP is a perfect combination of production highlights from House music’s influences and a modern approach with the freedom of style and genre while never sacrificing quality.

Down All Day

Butterflies go through a four-staged life cycle: egg, caterpillar, pupa (chrysalis) and then adult as a butterfly. The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly happens in the chrysalis where the caterpillar body dies to give life to a new, beautifully winged body. This album is an ideal soundtrack to this amazing phenomena, a representation to inner transformation and deep evolution.

Under his new alias, Nowt, Chris Watson, best known as one-half of South London dance duo FYI Chris, will be dropping his solo debut EP, High Street EP. The EP will be released on fellow Londoner Will Hofbauer’s Third Place Records label on June 10th. This release marks Chris’ first solo material outside of his work with his FYI Chris right-hand man, Chris Coupe. The duo has built a name for themselves among London dance circles through the independent venue, vinyl store, and community space they opened in South London, Rye Wax, as well as releases on various esteemed labels, including Rhythm Section, Banoffee Pies, Eclipse Tribes, and their own label, West Friends. 

On High Street EP, Nowt delivers a playful, highly charged, dreamy set of four house cuts. A-side closer, “Owt”, brings the party to a full swing. From its very opening tribal drum loop, accompanied by what sound like warped bird calls, the latter of which are maintained throughout the track’s runtime, it’s clear that Nowt has a keen ear for blending off-kilter sounds and samples into a wholly distinct and unexpected whole. The track somehow never manages to slip into complete chaos, even despite its tonal shifts occurring at near breakneck speed. There’s a gracefulness that underlines the track’s looseness and playfulness, making this an incredibly impressive and rewarding left-field house banger.

Premiere | Whitley Tlee - Panic Attack (REW009)

Chicago’s Anthony Nicholson has a storied history in dance music. For decades he has been crafting some of the best house music around on labels such as his own Circular Motion and Infinite Audio, as well as on legendary imprints Prescription and Clairaudience, adopting a host of aliases along the way. Now landing on Brooklyn staple toucan sounds for his latest release, the DJ/producer links up with Brandon Markell Holmes for ‘Found’ this July. Leading the release, the original mix of title track ‘Found’ sees Nicholson’s lush production peppered with Markell Holmes’ emotive singing, making for a dreamy vocal house cut. Stripping away the vocals, the ‘Adlibstrumental Pass’ sees the instrumental elements take front and centre for a welcome addition to the package. A release party around the release will take place at Elsewhere, NYC, on 29th July 2022. Anthony Nicholson ‘Found’ drops on toucan sounds on 22nd July 2022 as a Traxsource Exclusive, followed by a worldwide release on 5th August 2022.

Multi-dimensional future-jazz outfit JK GROUP release a new EP, Rising on La Sape Records. The brainchild of award-winning saxophonist, Joshua Kelly (30/70 collective, PBS Young Elder of Jazz 2019), the band returns to the label with a follow up EP to the mind-bending 2021 release, What’s Real? 

Where What’s Real? served as a platform for wild experimentation, Rising returns to a more considered and familiar format for the band, offering up 4 cohesive tracks that are deep in conception and expression, at once original and fresh. Conceived after recording an as yet unreleased body of work written whilst undergoing chemotherapy, Rising celebrates bandleader Josh’s survival and eventual recovery from the intense treatment he received for lymphoma in 2020. 

The band stays true to their honed format of jazz traditions melding with influences from electronica and beyond. Like the first release, The Young Ones, Rising sits comfortably in the crossover of raw, live jazz and electronic dance music,  whilst also throwing an unexpected curveball to the listener expanding the palate of the bands sound to a pigment never before heard in their music. The EP takes you on an emotional journey throughout the four tracks, best listened to start-to-finish.

Deeper Meaning 

I knew it wouldn't take too long after our full length collab album 'FUSION DANCE', follow up remix album 'FUSION REBORN', and post album single 'SHEEEESH!!' before @that-andy-guy and myself set out to make some more material together. This track more or less started as a solo endeavor, that I then approached Andy about adding some solos to towards the middle/back half of the track. We both went silly though, so take your bets on who did what! 

This may or may not be leading up to another album, idk I have too many in the works!
