Feels Good sets off swiftly, merging prominent kick-clap combos with shimmering pulses throughout. It’s a real peak-time number, enhanced by Jem’s touching vocal offering, that showcases the stripped-back and ethereal theme of the single. Patrice Bäumel’s remix soon arrives and brings with it a poignant combination of celestial pads and rolling synth tones, as Jem’s stunning lyrical contributions magnify the track’s moving nature once more. 

Leeds born and now based in Ibiza, Audiojack have been at the forefront of electronic music for over a decade. In recent times the Gruuv-label founders have released their Isolation Tapes series to widespread industry acclaim, using music to provide a way out from the feelings of anxiety caused by lockdown and separation. UK singer-songwriter Jem Cooke is no stranger to Crosstown Rebels. First debuting on the label in 2018 alongside Made By Pete on So Long, it was later that year that Audiojack went on to remix the single. More recently, Jem collaborated with Damian on Into The Sun from his 2020 Flourish LP. A well-established member of the Crosstown Rebels family, Patrice Bäumel is one of Germany’s greatest exponents. Recent productions on Watergate Records and Systematic Recordings continue to showcase the emotive sound with which he’s become best known, whilst his performance at DGTL’s virtual festival last year marked another step in his ever- flourishing career.

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMLP046

Escapism is a theme that runs through the very heart of music. We listen to be transported, removing ourselves from our immediate surroundings as our senses relax and the sonic experience washes over us. During times of hardship, such a sensation is naturally magnified. Music gifts us a way out from our challenges, allowing us to choose how we feel in response to the sounds we hear. This theme has been explored meticulously by Audiojack over the past four years, resulting in the release of their second album, Surface Tension, on Crosstown Rebels this April. 

The pair described the meaning behind the album, encapsulating what inspired them to pursue the four-year project: “In the modern world our attention has become so fragmented with technological distractions. We wanted to create a piece of music that could be an escape from that, where someone can close their eyes and let their imaginations fill in the gaps that the other senses have left behind.” 

The journey sets off with Subterranea, a futuristic breaks-inspired cut that features shimmering female vocals throughout. It feels both euphoric and spacious, taking us to a world far removed from ours. The first collaborative effort comes next in the form of Under Your Skin. Released as the album’s lead single in February, Kevin Knapp’s weighty lyrical offering takes no prisoners, paving the way for the track’s punchy, percussion-heavy backbone. 

The American producer and vocalist is no stranger to the label, having collaborated with Audiojack previously on Implications as well as releasing Flipped on Crosstown’s sister imprint Rebellion. Binaural Dreaming soon arrives, plunging us into a sensory experience thanks to an array of worldwide field recordings, which simulate the experience of a dream. 925 Shift ups the pace, pairing resonant kick-hat combos against a myriad of robot-like synths whilst gentle keys chime softly in the background. 

Surreal yet familiar in one, it opens smoothly into Easy Rider, a groove-led, minimal laced dance number that transports us to brighter days with upbeat piano rolls and dream-like chords. Psychoactive pt. 1 continues the warming theme, delving further into tropical realms. Ethereal pads blend into pulses of acid to form an immersive auditory piece.

The original of 'Nu World' is a rousing single designed to sweep dancers off their feet. In Solomun's hands, it becomes one of his signature melodic masterpieces. The Diynamic label founder is one of dance music's most globally recognised stars. He has been immortalised in the legendary Grand Theft Auto video game, holds his own influential residency at Pacha in Ibiza and is on a near constant tour of the world's biggest clubs and festivals where he leads the house scene from the front. 

His seven minute rework of 'Nu World' is a typically emotive house track with yearning vocal samples immediately pulling you in. The fresh drums are underpinned by warm, rumbling bass, and the searching synth craft is expansive. When the classic piano chords come in mid-way through, hands will go skyward and the dance floor will be united as one. 

This is a remix that brings heartfelt joy and rousing house grooves.

Nu World

Maceo Plex - Nu World (Solomun Remix)

What started in 2014 has now reached its 30th edition: Diynamic’s „Four To The Floor“. Solomun-approved and road tested secret dance floor weapons.
Nomen est omen for Uwe Thoma’s „Big Boss Killer Track“ - a sinister, almost apocalyptic vibe transports you into the final level of the game, and all that’s left to do is finish your nemesis.
„Damage Control“ by Mironas is driven by its hypnotic piano chords and crunchy retro-futuristic bass sound - a simple yet compelling recipe that gets you moving.
Shiba San’s „Hold Me“ is like a jump-and-run through techno jungle, crossing bumpy terrains, dodging enemies, gaining momentum on accelerator patches and then free falling over the finish line.
And closing off is „Forgotten“ by Martin Herrs, who blends the gentle melodic scenery with powerful vocals and excited drums, making for a perfect end-of-season and end-of-night moment on the dance floor.

Stream 'On The Record 003 - Trance Wax': https://anjunabeats.ffm.to/otr003.pbt

One of Belfast's finest musical exports, DJ and producer Garry McCartney has become a prominent figure in the melodic techno world. 

Releases on Sasha's Last Night on Earth, Shall Not Fade, Tusk Wax, Aus and BPitch Control has made him a mainstay of the U.K. house and techno scene, with a recent BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record nod for 'Ekstac' from Annie Mac. 

While Ejeca soared on the underground scene, it was another passion project that drew Garry’s attention in the studio; Trance Wax. 

Growing up in an era where trance and progressive artists Sasha, Chicane and Paul Oakenfold were household pop music names, Garry was inspired to recut nostalgic rave hits to fit the eclectic environment of modern dance floors. 

The vinyl-only pressings worked their way into the record boxes of The Black Madonna, Bicep, Job Jobse and Denis Sulta, found radio support from the likes of B Traits and Danny Howard, and earned him a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2018 - providing end of the night moments for a generation of artists who fondly remember dance music’s golden era. 

His first digital remixes arrived in 2019, reworking Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab's 'Clear Blue Water' and 'Satellite', supporting the Anjunabeats head honchos at two sold out London Printwork shows.

Taking Trance Wax to the next level, we're proud to present his debut original release, the 'Manaya EP'.

Showing three sides to the Trance Wax sound, the EP draws heavily on turn of the millenia dance music culture. There’s a headsy The Future Sound Of London trip with ‘Northern Sky’, already a Friday fire record on Danny Howard’s BBC Radio 1 show. 

‘Alone Again’ takes things a step deeper; a vocal track that has been multiple years in the making from Garry. Providing a feel good hit of euphoria, ‘Manaya’ is a throwback to the classic uplifting trance sound. 

“Glad to release my first original Trance Wax productions on Anjunabeats. They’re a follow-on from the OceanLab remixes I did last year and a personal reinterpretation of classic melodic dance music. I hope you enjoy them, there’s a lot more to come.” - Trance Wax

Trance Wax's 'Manaya EP' is available to buy and stream now on Anjunabeats, with further music to arrive on the label later in 2020. With Anjunabeats celebrating its 20th anniversary, Trance Wax’s original recordings are the perfect celebration of trance music throughout the ages.

The Anjunabeats rave resurgence continues, as two of our label stars head deeper into the world of industrial dance music; Genix & Grum see ‘The Light’. 

Emerging from their album campaigns, ‘The Light’ became a feature of sets for Genix (Damion Houchen) and Grum (Graeme Shepherd) during their respective world tours at the start of 2020. 

Grum’s ‘Deep State’ album saw the Scottish producer revel in classic trance nostalgia, while poignant songwriting found support from the likes of Above & Beyond, Armin Van Buuren and Kryder. 

Meanwhile, Genix ‘Anjunabeats Worldwide 09’ mix cemented his place at the forefront of the techno trance sound; high intensity stripped back club music that reverberated around the O2 Arena in Prague during ABGT350. 

With a nod to Brothers in Rhythm, ‘The Light’ is a bruising statement record from two of the scenes most exciting talents, celebrating the modern club minded sound of Anjunabeats.

Out now! https://Toolroom.lnk.to/ObeyTS

Every now and then a record comes along that just commands your attention. This is one of those records! A demo that landed from a totally new artist, never released on Toolroom before with very little history as an act, his name is Crazy Fluke. A studio wizz from the UK who's taken this trying and challenging period that we are all experiencing at the moment and turned it into an engaging and poignant piece of electronic music.

A quirky tech house backing and these unmistakeable self-penned lyrics act as a clever observation of the current state of affairs we are experiencing across the world. 

We expect widespread love from DJ's, radio jocks and fans alike as we all appreciate this modern day masterpiece!
