Absolutely smashing stuff from the Glaswegian hotshot here, taken from an EP of 3 tracks with identical drum tracks but a variation of chopped up samples on each. 'Part II' is our favourite, the garage-inflected rhythm peppered with a springy bass funk groove and disorientating Rhodesy chord patterns. Pure groove.

PREMIERE: Thierry Tomas - Come ON [Tomat Music]

'Hard Times' - it's a track that feels just as right on old, dusty speakers in a cozy room as it does soundtracking a sunrise at an after-hours party. It's this adaptability that underlines the EP's magic, a subtle reminder that there's still wonder to be found in music.

PREMIERE: Memphis Glass - Hard Times

Debuting on brand new Berlin based house music label Ascension on Wax, Irish producer Glenn Davis (@gsoul) is here with his 8th release, Space and Time EP, featuring 4 tracks. With subtle jazz references and motifs, skilful production layering, dreamy deep house chords and vocal sampling; this is one of Davis’s most accomplished releases to date.

The tracks Space And Time and Party With Me have stunning vocals and deep house keys which form the foundations of the tracks. They have a truly hypnotic effect as they progress and take the listener on a musical journey as the different layers of the songs reveal themselves. The former is perfect for playing earlier in the night and the latter, a dance floor ready number which will be sure to get the crowd going.

Ascension on Wax is also releasing a limited pressing special edition of Space and Time EP in a gatefold format in collaboration with the legendary late artist Dan Graham. It is exclusively available via the labels bandcamp page on a first come first serve basis.

PREMIÈRE: Glenn Davis - Party With Me

Social Criticism in Lauryn Hill's 'Doo Wop (That Thing)'
Lauryn Hill's song 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' is an empowerment anthem and a sharp social critique, released in 1998 as part of her acclaimed album 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'. The song addresses themes of self-respect, sexuality and the dangers of being carried away by appearances and materialism.
In the first verse, Hill speaks directly to women, warning them about the dangers of allowing themselves to be used by men who are only interested in 'that thing'. She criticizes the idea that women must conform to standards of beauty and behavior in order to be accepted or loved, mentioning 'hair weaves like Europeans' and 'fake nails done by Koreans' as examples of how women are pressured to conform to external standards. The artist also references religious and historical figures, such as Jezebel, to illustrate the consequences of straying from one's own principles and values.
The second verse is directed at men, criticizing those who prioritize material possessions and status over their responsibilities and relationships. Hill calls out toxic behaviors such as domestic violence and irresponsible fatherhood, and questions how these men can hope to succeed in life if they are not right on the inside. The song ends with a dialogue that reflects on the difference between love and being in love, suggesting that true love goes beyond the surface and accepts a person as they are. 'Doo Wop (That Thing)' is a powerful reminder that self-respect and integrity are key, and that we should be aware of the pitfalls of materialism and objectification in interpersonal relationships.
So...
Enjoy this Remix.....
