We are happy to welcome Vietnam born and France raised newcomer NairLess on Slam City Jams. After releases on Radiant Records, Semi Delicious and his own Aurore 404 imprint, the Parisian joins the label with his „First Wave“ EP.

NairLess music is deeply rooted in 90s house music and these tunes are a perfect example for that: „First Wave“ and „Rising Edge“ are a nod to early Progressive House with deep pads, sparkling synths and driving percussive elements. „Space Union“ is a bouncy house tune build around a catchy organ melody from everyones favorite digi synth. To round things off we have rising star Running Hot on remix duties who turns the title track up a notch with lovely rave stabs that will tear up some festival stages this summer.

Bubbling beneath the surface of Japan's emerging underground scenes, Osaka-based artist Paperkraft (@pprkrft) has passionately developed his craft, immersing himself in the culture and championing a new wave of Japanese artists. With the rise of genres like UKG & bass in neighboring cities like Kyoto - it's the progressive and house movement Paperkraft is concerned about. Although more niche in his native city, developing a sustainable scene and championing the sounds he loves is the ultimate goal.

First introduced to HOMAGE through friend and breakthrough producer Stones Taro, Paperkraft referenced releases like Aldonna's (@aldonna) Morph EP as the catalyst to send his demos, and who subsequently remixed 'Ok Corral'. The Melbourne-based producer has since toured frequently both in Europe and in her home country of Australia; continuing to put her stamp on the underground and lending her expertise to remixes for the likes of Benjamin Fröhlich and Rosa Red.

Inspired by sounds from the 90 - 00's, and essential to the overall essence of his music, Paperkraft blends the old with the new. This duality can be found in the opening track 'The Amazing Spaceman' where liquid drums foam over contemporary sound design. 'Dizzy Disk' kicks things up a notch, holding on to that same old-school-new-school duality with an extra dose of dopamine for good measure. Manchester's Aiden Francis (@aidenfrancis) lends his signature sound to the remix, with elements of breakbeat, trance, and electro, showing why labels and clubgoers rate him so highly.

Breakthrough tracks' like Papekrafts' 'Dimple' which was released by HearThug's Are You Alien label gathered large support and made a special appearance on Manami's Boiler Room Debut; laying the foundations for tracks like 'Ok Corral' to take shape. The infectious vocal sample coupled with jam-like riffs gives off the vibe that it was done in one take in an act of pure enthusiasm, with that same energy lending itself to the dancefloor. Aldonna's remix adds a Balearic and emotive touch, while 'Stella' rounds off the EP with a left-leaning cut perfect for low-capacity clubs and sweaty, dimly-lighted rooms.

'Not c but k' will be available to stream and download from February 16th, 2024.

Huge, triumphant return for the man they know as Olsvangèr. This might be the most radiant, life-affirming manifestation of his devotion to trippy dancefloor propulsion.

If last year’s EP with fellow Tofistock co-founder MYKI was the pre-induction, ‘OYSTER51’ signals his full initiation. Solo manoeuvres from the Berlin-based producer and starts as he means to go on with the buoyant flex and ‘90s nostalgia of opening cut ‘Grand Slammin’. Blissed-out vocals vocoded beyond recognition, this is pure dancefloor jubilation but not at the expense of directness or heft.

Clearly, he’s no stranger to a late-nite tech house incursion either. Where ‘Paranoweed’ comes thru with the tuff, full-bodied groove, ‘Bubble Toy’ recalls the oddball, mescaline-strength tribalism of his DJ Headshot alias. Then, just as uplifting as its predecessors, ‘Quadi B’ shuts things down with a heady, levitational dose of fractal fuel.

All proceeds (label + artist) will be donated to Save The Children - Gaza and West Bank Emergency.

The night was young but already the music was loud as they drove further and further away from the city and into the countryside. Soon it would be dark and they’d begin the hunt. It was the same skit every weekend, the same places and faces looking for fun on the outskirts of town.

This old car had miles under its belt, it had been to fields and warehouses all over the South coast in the search of dancing and delight.

It was the hunter itself, powered only by the mischief of its passengers.

Retromigration channels elements of House, Trance and beyond on a fast and furious new EP for Handy Records. However, beneath the pace sits a deep rooted groove which can be hard to place without careful consideration and handling. This is a producer in top form.

Mister T. records is back with a new electrifying sonic voyage with Tourman, the crazy productive producer and DJ from the vibrant city of Vilnius, Lithuania. After “Gravitone” a first freebie released for christmas 2023, MTT records and Tourman are teaming up again for 5 new tracks.

Set to release on the 20th of March, “La Voir Partir” comprise 3 original tracks, one acid mix and a remix by another great Lithuanian artist, famous for the MTT family,  “Black Feeling” who already contributed to the label with on the italo compilation released in 2023.

The 5 tracks complete each other on a great tribute to 90s house grooves, with vocals, samples and atmosphere reminding the best years of rave culture and fast house tracks inspired by soft techno and trance anthems.

The EP opens with “Sentimental”, where Tourman worked with Aureja’s vocals to recreate the genuine raw energy of rave / prog house. 

On “La Voir Partir”, Tourman continues the exploration of the underground speed house scene with a bit of aerial pads and piano stabs for a more melodic dancefloor killer.

Finally comes “Underfluencer”, a powerful tool oscillating between raw house beats, breakbeats, drops and sweet leads.

Influenced by euro-house, trance and 90s house and with seven years of experience in the music industry and a repertoire that includes releases on esteemed labels such as 39 Records, Whoyostro, and Hungarian Hot Wax, with “La Voir Partir”, Tourman will definitly become a name to be reckoned in the underground house scene.

PREMIERE: Tourman - La Voir Partir (Black Feeling Remix)

Proceeds from this release will be donated to the ELSC - an organization providing free legal support to protect and support advocates for Palestinian rights in Europe - more information available at elsc.support/about

PREMIERE⚡️Clint - Fantastic Fungi [Fuaim]

Łukasz Seliga needs little introduction to anyone even roughly following Poland’s dance and electronic underground, as his contributions – as a live performer, producer, remixer or DJ –embellished the better part of its story. 

Between his solo endeavours under the slg moniker, and projects such as Casio pepe or Seltron 400, he has long traversed genres and sounds, aptly and joyfully, always staying true to his distinct musical vision rather than being prompted by periodic shifts of fancy.

On Sideways, his newest EP outing for Trance-Atlantyk, Łukasz appears under his own name – Seliga – for the first time, thus restating his identity and underlining the honesty of his craft.   

In a time when dance music tends to be driven increasingly by nostalgia, Seliga takes but a sip, ultimately eschewing it. As a result, the music we hear is more of a direct expression of his own abiding purpose – a lived, rather than re-lived experience, an auditory utopia, sung in a language the artist is deeply anchored in, but whose expressive qualities he seeks to enhance, and not simply exploit.

Label: @seliga_slg
