Z. James (Kultura Collective) - 20-Mar-21

For the second mix in our birthday series, Maracuya has invited AZUSA to step up to the plate.

Though fairly new to the DJing scene, AZUSA has been making the most of lockdown by launching events and record label Noire State.

With a focus on light and dark, the Noire State trio's most recent success was the launch of their first EP, featuring emerging UKG talent Oldboy and a remix from Longeez, which was featured by the likes of Vinyl Factory, Rinse FM and Balamii. The trio have also been running a successful mix series showcasing talent from all over the world, including the likes of Coco Bryce from Holland, Young Lychee in Berlin, Jucid based in Seoul, as well as local talents such as Swamp81's, Patrice.

JRE - S.O.M Guest Mix 006

4:46 AM [155 BPM]

Extra Spicy’s third various artist's compilation, XTR003, is an all-Australian affair. This nine-track release features some of our favourite local producers and covers the full spectrum of bass music, from classic purist flavours to mutant genre cross-pollinations. 

Heavy, chopped-up breaks and massive bass stabs pervade 99 Nissan Patrol’s Ruffla, Mashup from Akul, and label owner Mincy’s Gnome Home. 

Fans of more stripped-down flavours will want to make a beeline for the UKG nostalgia of Why Didn’t You Mention It? by Myledo and Krypsis’ dark garage groove LoFi Rider. 

The final portion of the compilation raises the tempo. DJ SUNROOF gives a respectful nod to the past on Break The Mold, a jungle banger chock full of mangled breakbeats. 

Hardcore energy is merged with chaotic footwork sample manipulation and ghetto tech attitude on Say My Name from Floor Twenty, while UNKLE SYD channels 1992 warehouse energy on Sydtopia. End User License Agreement rounds out proceedings with a heady, dubwise roller that focuses on spacious echoes and big sub-bass. 

XTR003 proves that you don’t need to look beyond Australia’s backyard for big talent.

PREMIERE: Floor Twenty - Say My Name [Extra Spicy Records]

For Gimme A Break's third original release we are very excited to present Thomas Dalzell's debut EP 'Fractals'. Drawing from a broad range of musical influences, this multi-genre work merges trans-Atlantic soundscapes infusing soulful vocal samples with dubbed-out synths and Thomas' distinctive analogue drum racks. When citing his musical influences, Thomas singles out the 1996 Slam album Headstates and its fusion of Electro, House, Dub and Trip Hop. This genre-defying production style is best demonstrated in Thomas' "Fade 3" a hard-hitting track reminiscent of 90s Electro. However, there's something for everyone in 'Fractals' with "Pontic", "Firebird" and "Ambience" referencing Thomas' UKG and Techno influences whilst "General Dub" draws on the producers' musical background as a multi-instrumentalist. 

GAB would like to say an enormous thank you to Ian Munro for visually recreating Thomas' interest in Japanese calligraphy and graffiti in this striking design.
