The platform stretched far into the distance, the concrete only partially lit by the dim glow of the lamps. A handful of people dotted along its expanse, all waiting patiently for the train to arrive. Just a few minutes before midnight the chugging engine could be heard nearing the station; at exactly midnight it pulled in. In 70 years it had never been late. The passengers climbed aboard in silence, and with a blow of the whistle they sailed off into the darkness.

Orange Tree Edits are known purveyors of quality reworks. Since their beginnings five years ago, founder Jimmy Rouge and a stellar cast of fellow edit masters, including Jonny Rock, Moving Still, Hysteric and Good Block, have breathed new life into old finds and forgotten gems. Musically it ranges, but generally it's made with either the intent of getting your feet moving or soundtracking time spent lounging at home. There's Afro, disco, Balearic, new wave and synth-pop, which are some of the sonics that head honcho Jimmy gets stuck into on his return to the label after three years.

It’s been exactly one year since we interviewed Man Power for our MixedBy series. Since then, The Me Me Me founder has launched himself back into the world, returning to some form of normalcy post-COVID. The British maestro is back to throwing regular gigs in his home base of Newcastle and is touring once again, bringing his world-renowned DJ sets back to the masses.

To mark his welcomed return, Man Power has partnered with Finnish imprint Echocentric Records to release his first vinyl record of the year! Titled “Space Walk,” this EP contains a total of 3-tracks and sees Man Power in his element dishing out his signature sounds that have been labeled as ‘intergalactic house.’ However, in his latest rendition, the beats have more of a tribal feeling – resembling something closer to home than some of his extraterrestrial belters.

Case and point, we are premiering the A2 from the record titled “What a Puny Plan.” Like most dance tracks of this variety, I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on the track's name, but instead, concentrate on its melodies. The song grabs your attention immediately with its gyrating bassline and almost ancestral-sounding percussion. This gives the listener the feeling as if an ancient ritual is about to take place and that Man Power is the shaman leading the procession. Man Power then continues to layer in waves of ethereal synths over menacing horns that give the tune some much-needed gravity – compelling the dancefloor to come together and groove as one. “What a Puny Plan” might be the closest thing you’ll come to having a religious experience at the club and we’re ready to repent for our sins!

Burnin Music bossman Pegasvs returns with his first new material in several years, and it's a classy collection that's been worth waiting for. '(No) Peace' begins the journey: a languid slice of ambient / downtempo beauty with hypnotic spoken word vocals from MA.MOYO which eases you into the EP in meditative fashion. 'Take It' ushers us more towards the dancefloor with some mellow synth-funk stylings and punchy raps from The S.O.S. weaving in and out of Twyla's effortlessly yearning vocals. 'Traffic Jam' is a sumptuous patchwork of deep house motifs, where Rhodes chords, funky guitar flecks and plump bass tones interplay beautifully, and 'La Nuit' rounds off in stripped-back Detroit house style—all murky chord stabs, throbbing low end and classic drum beats.

PREMIERE: Pegasvs - Take It (Feat. Twyla, The S.O.S.)

Manzo's new drop is a volume packed with four shamelessly pleasurable edits, a ray of sun shining brightly over the green pastures ready to bring summer vibes to every farm and ranch! Ici C'est Toujours Les Vacances opens with a wheel of french-roquefort-house that is all smiles and grooves. Then, Belgian Mambo slows down the beat, swaying into a mystic acid trip. We shake horns and cowbells like there's no tomorrow on the alluring beat of Sea Urchin before the final epic ride of Ferramenta nº20, an interstellar tractor that shoots you straight into a disco-infused outer space.

MNZ004 / Manzo Edits - Manzo Edits vol. 4

exclusive | NachoMarco - 909 File 4 | Chiwax

Valencia's Nacho Marco has an incredibly impressive back catalogue, with releases on brilliant labels including Freerange, Plastic City, Lazy Days, Ovum, We Play House and his own excellent Loudeast imprint too. Now added to the list is the irrepressible Chiwax, with his “The 909 Files" EP. 

Each track is simply titled 'File 1' through to “File 4“, so let's kick things off in the usual order. "File 1“ is a powerhouse of percussion and keys, with an almost Reese-esque bassline rumbling underneath. The weight of the kicks and the metronomic rattle of the rimshots thunders the track along, making this a very impressive opener. 

“File 2" slows the BPM down a few notches, the drums are again super-heavy (being from the 909, as the EP title gives away), but this time the keys take a softer approach, with glorious floating pads underpinning the mellow mood here. A wonderfully woozy closer to the A-side. 

Flipping over for “File 3“ on the B-side, the 909 is joined by our old friend the M1 bassline, with clipped vox parts adding to the energy pulsing through the track. Swinging along in a fashion reminiscent of classics such as  Kerri Chandler et'al, this is a superb straight-up warm house jam. 

Rounding the EP off, “File 4’"is built around a stabby church organ riff which nags away throughout the track, the punchy percussion and tinkling chords coming together in a swirl of joyous depth for the dancefloor. The bassline chugs away with its neat bounce, echoing the thump of the unmistakable 909 kicks, closing the EP off in the style it maintains throughout, namely exquisite dancefloor-driven house music which has a real timeless quality.

Distropical, electronic duo of producers and DJs, from Milano, Italy,  formed by Govind Singh Khurana and Stefano Greco. It’s electronic outer-world music, the soundtrack of a party in an imaginary tropical place where the raw energy of traditional field recordings is transferred to the dance floor.  “Astral Langur” brings us to a desertic area, with its obsessive 3/4 beat, while “Birds Of Toi” sounds like a trip, looking for a rave in the jungle. “Jaguarundi” is a hi-energy track where the acoustic sound of a homemade guitar, leads in an unexpected direction. In “Crabitation” the electronic element is bent to follow the acoustic tribal sounds, with their polyrhythms. “Chuao Chuao” starts from a field recording made by Stefano Greco in Venezuela, during a street session of Tambores De Choronì, drums of Afro-Caribbean origin.

We are familiar with the Neo Soul singer’s work presented as Noah Slee, but who is FAHU?
This first EP brings high energy funk to the dancefloors of today. Influences of Eliza Rose, Blessed Madonna, but also Kerri Chandler and Masters at Work come together in 3 songs and 2 remixes (by Gee Lane and Athlete Whippet). 
The original tracks are almost perfect: super short, uplifting and catchy. You’ll want to hear them again and again… and again.
In case you’ve been to a Toy Tonics Party last year, you might have heard one of these energetic tracks and seen how people went crazy. It’s perfect 2024 dance floor material, but you can imagine them on the radio too. Somewhere in the mix between Folamour and Armand van Helden, Chromeo, Calvin Harris and JUNGLE.
Toy Tonics signed a few new artists for 2024. 
FAHU, alias to Noah Slee, is probably the most important one. 
The vocalist has an impressive career in the Neo Soul scene. 
His biggest song DGAF reached more than 30 million plays on Spotify and as a singer he toured all over the world. 
Always creating, currently his focus is on three projects:  The high speed house project FAHU, more than prepared to shake the dance world.  His soulful journey Noah Slee which will soon release some new melodies too. And A Song For You – the Berlin based vocal ensemble he founded and directs. 
With these different projects he has been making all kinds of stages in Germany and Europe an extension of himself. 
We’re sure Noah Slee will have a massive entry into the new dance soul world in 2024. And ready for bigger steps in 2025!

Album released: 10.05.24

Originally released on Balance in 1996, "Patterins" is the result of that deep house movement that has been so appreciated over the years. Rhythms and deep vibes, immediately take us back to a magical period that we cannot forget. Official reissue of the original wax, now remastered on FRL Classic Edition. Superb!
