Anoraak - Figure / Slowed Down + Reverbed

Island Issues is back with a second release to close out its first year, this time in the form of another tastefully deep excursion from Dubbyman with remixes from Less J and Estrato Aurora.

Dubbyman landed on Island Issues precursor Saft back in 2021 after three years away. He is a cultured artist who likes to go deep into the atmospheric end of house and techno on labels like Ferrispark, Soul People Music and Deep Explorer, which he co-founded. He always brings a musical synth style and a hypnotic sense of groove as this latest offering shows once more.

'Obsession' finds him working with Bjak, who came up in Chicago's early 90s scene and has been making waves for three decades since. Together they lay down a deep, body-popping and mid-tempo electro rhythm. It's brought to life with steamy male vocals and boogie-tinged bass with a retro feel and tender piano chords that melt the heart.

The L’ Hospitalet rising star Less J remix flips the track into a smoky basement house cut with candle-lit piano chords. Distant vocals bring the soul while seductive sax lines drift in and out next to the atmospheric sounds of a live jazz club.

Estrato Aurora has been a key part of the Valencia underground for almost 20 years. He has a wide array of hardware and has landed on labels like Appian Sounds, On Boards Music and Bliq. His first vocal remix is blissed out and loose, with heady chords and tumbling percussion sinking you into a reverie. Then comes a breaks remix that is more dynamic and driving, with crisp hits and broken beat drums overlaid with diffuse chords. It's brilliantly intimate yet sure to lock in the dance floor.

Dubbyman's 'Obsession' is another great package from Island Issues that should be under every deep house aficionado’s Christmas Tree.

Another dusty transmission from the Tokyo-3 Nostalgia Vault.

If They Could See Me Now | [adult lofi] | Tokyo-3 Nostalgia Vault

Three men, eight albums, five hundred tracks, four labels, numerous aliases, myriad genres: One machine.

Bournemouth trio Brent Newitt, Dave Wallace and Kieron Bailey have played by their own rules and stamped with their style since day one. 20 years deep into their game and the indelible Aquasky legacy is sprayed colourfully, thoughtfully and, at points, antagonistically over all shades and styles of electronic music since they started exploring the new wave of early 90s rave: drum & bass.

The Aquasky story keeps on unfolding and influencing the scene. Their latest venture is a revisitation of their Moving Shadow era D&B. A double decade document that acts as a love letter to the future; every success they’ve made takes roots in these evergreen space-aged sounds. The sound of a three man machine who have consistently played by their own rules and stamping with their own style, long may the Aquasky story continue…

Starting out as a duo, the Commix name has graced some of Drum & Bass’ leading labels since coming to prominence in the early 2000’s, and the debut album, ‘Call To Mind’, holds the honour of being the first solo artist album for historic label Metalheadz. The lead single, 'Be True', has long since cemented its place in Drum & Bass history as an anthem on the grandest scale, and the album itself was incredibly well received across the electronic music spectrum and is widely regarded as one of the best D&B LPs of all time.

As a DJ his focus is on the deep, the experimental and the musical. Drawing on his wealth of experience in both Drum & Bass and 4x4 based genres, he joins these styles together in a mesmerising weave, defying genre and categorisation, that cements his reputation as one of the most respected artists in the scene today.
