Modern Ruin Records proudly presents its debut release "Present Decay EP"
The first release of this London based record label is dedicated in showcasing some of the most talented and innovative artists making moves on the juke/footwork scenes around the world. 
The tracks featured range from warehouse bangers to disco jivers and will accommodate for a wide range of musical preferences and styles.

The first track is a rolling dancefloor destroyer from "Pawn" This regular player on the Shoot Recordings label is no stranger to dirty bass music and each release has seen him go from strength to strength with this newest release "Do U" being no exception.
With its rolling drums and heavy baseline this track drops like a stick of dynamite and will no doubt be followed by some crazy leg movements on dancefloors across the globe. 
 
The second track is from a true pioneer of juke music. His Label "Dynamix Records" has seen him pushing some of the best and brightest artists on the juke scene to date. "Matt Davis" AKA "The Renegades" brings us "The Warmup" a beautiful example of a juke/jungle hybrid which really shows his passion for the old skool while giving it a modern twist. His love for melodic soundscapes and jungle drums rings true throughout this track and will bring joy to all the old skool and new skool ravers alike.   

Track three is from one the most dynamic producers i have ever come across, it seems there is no style of music this man cannot make. Better known for his disco and house record labels "Vorres" AKA "sccucci manucci" has been a big part of the music industry for many years now and his releases span from deep house to garage to dubstep. "One of these old days" is a beautiful soul gospel take on juke and has a truly unique and a melodic sound that you will want to play again and again.   

Finally we have a brilliant upbeat disco/juke edit from "Sideswipe". This track would be just as at home on any disco dancefloor as it would be at a warehouse rave. "Be With U" has all the groove and funk anyone could ask for while still staying true to the juke format. "MUKATSUKU" label owner "Nik Weston" has already shown the track some love and incorporated this new sound into his future disco/funk sets. This final track rounds off a truly innovative and exciting EP which is one not to be missed.

Reserve the forthcoming vinyl on Juno Records now!

Vorres - One Of These Old Days (Modern Ruin Records)

TUFF WAX makes a long awaited return to the 7” format on June 30th for a split release between Atlanta’s MOIST GHOST (ASTRO NAUTICO, TUFF WAX) and Providence’s THE RANGE (DONKY PITCH, ASTRO NAUTICO). Perfectly curated for our ‘black label’ 7”, both tracks run comfortably below the 4 minute mark, eschewing hard-hitting club production in favour of accessible, atmospheric styles. An accompanying digital release features the original cuts backed by 2 additional club-ready remixes from the international TUFF WAX squad.

MOIST GHOST’s ‘Call Me Up’ showcases Sam Wilhoit’s ear for eerie, brooding synthscapes with a stoned 4/4 shuffle. Tense, stormy and etherial, much like his earlier remixes for TUFF WAX and the acclaimed ‘Big Game Hunter’ LP for ASTRO NAUTICO in 2012. 

THE RANGE’s ‘Over You’ may be a cut from the vaults, but James Hinton’s unmistakeable production DNA runs right through it - familiar to all those who followed his massive debut LP ‘Nonfiction’ for DONKY PITCH. Almost devoid of drums, an army of moods and percussive breaks slowly swell around a bootleg Ashanti acappella, taking all of 2 minutes to reach its stunning crescendo. What is a girl to do?  

JAW JAM’s deep, off-balance remix of ‘Call Me Up’ follows from last year’s remarkable laser-etched 12” for TUFF WAX and a subsequent EP for LA’s SYMBOLS imprint. Aberdeen man & TUFF WAX in-house engineer GROBBIE contributes a spaceous, grime-tinged rework of ‘Over You’, hot on the heels of his first 10” for Utrecht’s SLAPFUNK. 

Track listing:

1. Moist Ghost - Call Me Up
2. The Range - Over You
3. Moist Ghost - Call Me Up (Jaw Jam Remix)*
4. The Range - Over You (Grobbie Remix)*

Jealousy (Original Mix)

This is the track I made for Converse Rubber Tracks for ADE 2015.  I premiered the track at my talk there and walked people through how I made it.  I used a bunch of samples from the Converse Rubber Tracks Sample Library on this track.   I highly recommend using their site if you're looking for high quality and royalty free samples!

Remix contest coming soon :)

Take Flight

Nangdo's quaint flashes of footwork brilliance definitely deserve more earlobes. Boiler Room remembers his early dabbles with LA now-powerhouse, Soulection, that unlocked a higher-tempo pathway that only LAKIM could navigate as well. For the past few years, his Soundcloud his been a ripe sowing ground for tunes that mostly tick above 140BPM; stylistically unique, but still authentically bowing at the juke altar.

It wasn't going to be long before TAR head honcho and Brainfeeder disciple, PBDY, caught wind. High On Clouds, Nangdo's first outing on the enviably good imprint is heavy artillery. The Berlin producer doesn't hold back over the six tracks, regularly pasting together skittering hi-hats and well-chosen sample fragments atop a feverishly paced backdrop.

Track #3 is the clear standout here though. Angelic choir snippets, and pads that make you feel high af anyways. High on clouds, indeed.

Braille & Seafloor - Me Alone

Kamaal Williams Live (BOOTLEG)

Brooklyn based Praveen Sharma has always taken a genre absorbing, dancefloor-oriented approach to his output as Braille,  effortlessly floating through house, techno, melancholic ambient and UK Bass. His singles on European labels Rush Hour (“The Year 3000”) and Hotflush Recordings (“A Meaning”) were critically acclaimed and set the stage for his full length album debut on LA based label Friends of Friends (“Mute Swan”). With an ear for sentimental melodies and an unprecedented step into the vocal arena, Braille’s first full-length demonstrated his ability to step outside the dancefloor box. Braille’s return to Hotflush with “Stand Still” marks an infusion of color and optimism to his sound and sets the stage for a renewed focus on the dance.

Praveen Sharma has been making a diverse range of music from folk to juke since 2004. He has released as “Praveen” on Neo Ouija, Moodgadget and Supermartyr Records, “Praveen & Benoît” on Music Related, and alongside Machinedrum as one half of the Pitchfork “Best New Music” awarded “Sepalcure” on Hotflush Recordings.
