"In a world full of copycats, 'Nightdubbing' is my attempt to look deeper within for inspiration. It's a dive into the influence that Dub, House, and Techno has had on me as an artist." - Monty Luke 

Succeeding part two of Monty Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing’ series on Rekids, the US-via-Berlin artist unveils an album of the same name on Radio Slave’s lauded Rekids imprint. ‘Nightdubbing’ encompasses the first two instalments and adds five more tracks of intricate sonic material, completing this gorgeous work of art already supported by Fred P, nd_baumecker, Louise Chen, and Laurent Garnier. 

Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing’ album starts in the club, with the rave-primed ‘40 Acres And A Terabyte’ utilising the rich melodies of deep house alongside the crushing weight of subs. It is followed by the title track, with ‘Nightdubbing’ taking a more traditional house route, its soothing sounds enveloping the listener while honing in on that reverb sweet spot. 

Black Catalogue boss and former Planet-E label manager Monty Luke’s timeless ‘Nightdubbing’ effortlessly traverses deep house and techno rife with bass-rattling low-end and experimental rhythms. It is no surprise, then, that the album is heavily inspired by ‘70s and mid-80s dub reggae, seeing Luke incorporate and modernise the genre’s iconic rhythms, spoken word poetry, and spacious bursts of harmony across the LP, particularly in tracks like ‘Cop Outside’ and ‘Travelling ‘Round The Sun’.

‘Bob Molly’ picks up pace with nods to Caribbean dem bow-like rhythms of old, Monty Luke filling the space between its infectious beat with tumbling percussion and echoing plucks. Tracks like ‘Supernova’, ‘New World / Old Future’ and ‘Starstorms’ return to the modern-day traditions of club music while ‘Gamma Raze’, ‘Future Mystic’, and ‘Roots’ again find room in between the dancefloor and sound system listening sessions. The ambient ‘Theme From Nightdubbing’ is another stand-out on the album, successfully leaving an opening to escape the world through music and making the mind wander via swirling melody and sparse drums.

Nearly twenty years after her first release, Anja Schneider is still one of the hardest-working artists in electronic music. As well as helming her own Sous Music record label, she's in demand as an internationally touring DJ, and when she's not running the business or behind the decks, she's creating a constant stream of new music, both original productions and remixes. 

This year saw the release of The Good, The Bad and The Acid EP on her own Sous, and the On My Mind EP for Shall Not Fade alongside no less than six remixes. 
 
Her final release of 2023, Rudeless, is also the last EP of the year for Sous. It sees the label boss continuing to flirt with darkness and light to make her tracks as functional as they're memorable, threaded with sophisticated emotion. 
 
The title track starts out cold, with wintry synths and a thumping kick, but the vocal that drifts into the mix is warm, soulful and uplifting, chased by clattering percussion designed to move hips. It's gospel house with a modern twist; a 2023 club track with echoes of early Detroit.
 
“Just Us Going” is another study in contrasts, this time between a rubbery, hard bassline and a molasses Robert Owens-like vocal. It's frosty, refined and slightly foreboding, primed to work witching hour dancers into hypnotic oblivion.
 
To finish, rising Uruguayan talent Diego Infanzon gives “Rudeless” the big-room treatment, passing the mix through a bleary filter, adding razor-sharp stabs and later, sprinkles of bright keys and strings to accentuate a roof-raising drop. 
 
Still working her magic after nearly two decades, Schneider will embark on a celebratory anniversary tour next year, with some re-releases and remixes also in the works to mark the occasion properly. Lucky for us, the queen is showing no sign of slowing.

MELODY BOY 2000 - Monotone Fantastique

Italian duo Hiver present the Spiritual Machines EP, their debut on Obscura due 9th March.
‘Inverted Scale’ brandishes a hypnotic synth lead that swirls into a formidable energy. Title track is a meditative ambient cut immersed in deep waters, whilst ‘Glass Effect’ exposes a similar form with radiant sonic properties.
On the B side, Orbe turns the title track into a low slung basement workout, whilst Crossing Avenue’s rework of ‘RJ45’ channels psytrance and rave sentiments.
For digital release, two further tracks feature. ‘RJ45’ is a dubby, zoned out roller, followed by ‘Zwicky’, a euphoric trance crescendo on vintage synths.
