Release Clips

Label co-owner Moakz returns to Codename: RCRDS with Lunatic Age EP, featuring a select of uniquely styled dancefloor bangers which have been featuring heavily in his sets over the past few months, complemented by three storming remixes from some of the most talented artists currently at work in the scene.

The EP opens with the prophetic title track ‘Lunatic Age’, a hybrid of atmospheric synths, electrostep and jungle with a warning message which feels unnervingly prescient in light of current world events. ‘A Dark Future’ flips 4x4 beats into a deep atmospheric direction as its vocals muse on the dystopian influences of the roots of jungle and techno, before Mineral contributes his stunningly brutal rework of the same track, flipping intelligently between introspective moments and tearout drops.

The 2nd half of the release brings the well titled ‘Calm Before The Storm’, with hypnotic synth lines and rolling drums building things towards a crescendo before the track locks firmly into the groove with a rumbling bass that continually pushes things forward. Code Of Silence provides his signature tearing amen drum work to his rework of ‘Lunatic Age’, bringing the hardcore elements to the fore and adding an extra vocal for good measure. Last up is man of the moment Neekeetone’s vibrant remix of ‘Back To The Earth’, where warped basses and trademark precision break choppage escalate the original to fresh new heights.

New Zealand's talented Midnight Dubs makes his Codename: RCRDS debut with 'Generations EP'. This jazz, funk and hip hop inflected release opens with 'Improvise Wisely' where catchy vocal samples entwine with rolling breaks, brass and keys to stylishly open the release. 'Generations' moves in a deeper jazzier direction with steppier breaks and rolling bass evoking classic era atmospheric sounds. '

Love Divine' breaks delicate female vocals into the mix before it's sublime intro gives way to delicately edited drumwork, before 'Cloudbreak' works things further along it's jazzy path before we move onto closing track 'One More Forward' which rolls out into a an altogether darker bleep influence drumfunk rollout - perfect for the heads down dancefloors.

An excellent full debut release from an artist to watch.

The Crate Digs series reaches volume 3 with an absolutely stunning entry from Flipper and Toni Bassi which leans in heavily on early jazz and funk stylings.

Flipper's opener 'Why Do I Still Love You' touches down with a gorgeous brass intro before giving way to uptempo breaks and a haunting and seductive vocals. 'The Big Band Rising' brings the sound of summer, evoking endless festival nights with its swung rhythm track, even dipping briefly into latin grooves.

The first of the Toni Bassi collabs, 'Mardi Brass', reworks it's New Orleans vibes into a rolling liquid number, before 'Mile High Jazz' takes us into deeper rolling territory.

Flipper then contributes the deeper dancefloor vibes of 'Fundamentals' before Toni Bassi turns 'Why Do I Still Love You' on its head with a sun-blissed and deep house-infuenced reworking which cuts deep throughout.

A stunning and varied EP which raises the bar further on the Crate Digs series following the previous instalments.
