New mutant offshoot from the Talking Drums crew…

You know how it goes at the after party, over indulge and you end up hogging the conversation. So, in the interest of better dancefloor discourse allow us to present Drum Chums, a new series of edits by percussion pals from across the globe.

This inaugural edition comes from our good buddy Basso, a Hamburg homie whose digging expertise is rivalled only by his scalpel skills and superb silliness. Dipping into the darkest corners of his ever-Growing Bins, Bussi shines up a quartet of rediscovered delights for an edit EP which oozes grooves and off balance moves.

On an uptempo A-side, the German luxuriates in the spectral arps, glistening licks and uplifting chords of fusion boogie winner 'Do Stay For Breakfast' before serving the steamy, sultry and seductive vampire disco jam 'Soft Choppers'. 

Things take a turn for the Balearic on the B-side thanks to the Afro-tropical pop of 'Simple Stroll', all electroid bass, chugging percussion and playful guitar, and finally the cosmic cool of 'Breaking Bread', a spaced out bossa for heads and feet. 

100% Drum Chums guaranteed...

Back in 2015, Mancunian DJ and Producer Hidden Spheres aka Tom Harris joined the Rhythm Section family for our twelfth release. Storming into 2022 and approaching 50 releases Tom has a long overdue return to the label with a synthesis of electronic house vibrations.

‘You Are Not Your Body’ is a stellar collection of five tracks, which touch on the sensations of euphoria and the blissed-out intersection between early prog and Detroit House. Channelling energies for meditation and self love, things kick off with ‘Improvisation’ an electro infused eight minute workout, whilst ‘Euan 92’ is a festival-defining ‘hands-in-the-air’ anthem tried and tested by Bradley Zero on the road throughout 2021.

Love Your Body is a delightful disco-esque chugger reinforcing joyful energies and an infectious bass line to keep you wiggling on the dance floor. Things come to a close with a spaced out balearic house remix by RS family favourite Ruf Dug.

Hidden Spheres - You Are Not Your Body EP Preview

Since 2014, Public Release has been enlisting the raw, trademark groove of Richard Sen on a variety of now- renowned remixes. Label boss Eug has cited him in numerous interviews as being one of his all-time favourite producers, so it was inevitable that a solo EP would eventually materialize. That time has finally come, and in the Spring of 2022, the UK legend drops his solo EP “My Definition of Funk” on Public Release.

These three raw, gritty, hard-hitting, peak-time tracks are quintessential Richard Sen, combining the energy and influences of post-punk, breaks, and house in one sturdy sonic package.

Doja Cat X Swae Lee Type Beat "LA Weekennd" BPM 108

'Lonely Planet,' the 2017 debut album from Tornado Wallace, found the new age-loving Australian reaching new levels of sophistication, and now his creations have been given the remix treatment. Slated to arrive on March 16 via Gerd Janson's Running Back label, the new EP features reworks from veterans like I:Cube, Move D and Prins Thomas. The latter is a slow-burning exercise in cosmic disco, and it debuted on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Tornado Wallace "Trance Encounters (Prins Thomas Discomiks)" [First Floor Premiere]

The hedge was long and covered in debris after the storm. It sat tattered at the tail end of the garden amidst broken patio furniture and scattered leaves. It would require clipping back to size, much like the rest of the house and the garden. There was a dark grey sky which hung with a hollow weight upon the air, it was as if the fog had cascaded down from the heavens up above to conceal the distasterous consequences of the howling winds and wicked rain. It was moist to the touch and left a chill upon the skin. 

Dusa is set to release a new EP on TURNLAND, an elegant blend of delicate pads and soothing electronics complete with a deep, moody groove. This is perhaps best demonstrated on "Clipping".

PREMIERE: Dusa - Clipping [TURNLAND]

Periodica Records is back with a four tracker 12inch from Raffaele Whodamanny Arcella. "The Dance Sucker" sees Whodamanny off the microphone going for a late 80s and proto-house experience.

Ruf Dug - eCZtasy
Label: Ruf Kutz (https://soundcloud.com/rufdug)
Release Date: 14 February 2020
PRE-ORDER LINK: https://smarturl.it/eCZtasy
Format: Vinyl & Digital

The product of an intense love affair with the Casio CZ-5000 synthesiser, the eCZtasy EP sees the cult producer, DJ, remixer, NTS resident and label head Ruf Dug release on his own label for the first time in 4 years. 2019 was the year that Manchester’s Simon Hindle released EPs on Futureboogie and Rhythm Section, tackled FACT’s Against The Clock and embarked on a tour that took in Pikes, Gottwood, Love International, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Moscow and more. He kicks off 2020 with the first release on a reinvigorated Ruf Kutz label.

Ruf Dug says “After hearing the Satoshi & Makoto album and checking their youtubes I just HAD to own a CZ-5000… it wasn’t long till I managed to snare one and got lost in its tones… this record contains some of the highlights of that whirlwind romance.”

The A side sees Ruffy in full-on peaking rave mode as opener INWARD CONVERSION PROCESS shows off the classy, glassy tones of the CZ-5000 from the outset as 11th chords stack up on one another to create a euphoric future anthem that takes in the best bits of prog, trance, dream house - with the occasional zouky drum pattern to remind you that the tropical cyberpunk is at the console.

There’s no time to rest up as we cascade immediately into WET PLAY BANGER - surely Ruf Dug’s trackiest release ever, almost a DJ tool more than a tune. The CZ’s sequencer comes into play here as pattern after pattern collide, co-mingle and then disperse with the effect of boosting dopamine & serotonin levels in all who experience. Named for the infamous Manchester club night which Ruffy & pals started, this one has been stress-tested on the universe’s finest dance floor and emerged, wide-eyed and mindless, to be captured here on wax for you…

The B side welcomes a change of pace. Opener SHOPPIN has the CZ-5000 re-purposed as Balearic conspirator, adding an ibicenco skank & sandy pans to a rugged DMX beat that suggests Laid Back making a lost dub for Saada Bonaire. The B2, FRUITY DANCE, sprays a cubensis mist over the Casio and dials the exotica setting up to infinity as woozy bells and live drum samples get all tapey and loose to close out a very welcome return to Ruf Kutz for its proprietor.

PREMIERE : Ruf Dug - Inward Conversion Process

If you were to be asked to define the singular sound of Scandinavian electronic music you'd be tough placed to suggest a definitive answer.

The genre continues to evolve and reinvent itself with such enormous consistency that it has become a sound which means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. However, if you were to try to narrow it down towards just a few words then the first in my book would be as follows, playful.

This track is taken from a new EP on Art Alfie's label Velvet Pony Trax.
