Wild Thing EP

Everyday Press (Extended Mix)

Cuttin' Headz continues to define the contemporary house landscape with another superb EP, this time from Toman. The Dutchman has been hugely prolific since breaking through and his unique take on house and techno has led him to much-renowned outlets like No Art, Moscow & Eastenderz. 

This fresh new EP opens with Madrugada, a tightly coiled bit of tech funk. The kicking drums and razor sharp hi hats are detailed with cool female vocal stabs, whirring effects and dramatic fills that really make the track pop. Better Is Weather is a much deeper tune but one that still packs a punch. The super balmy pads bring a nice summery feel to the breezy late night grooves and hints of garage skip. 

All in all, another incredible standout EP from all involved.

Calvin Clarke drops ‘Crazy High’ on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax this October.
Following releases on Kaluki Musik and Bamboleo, Manchester’s Calvin Clarke has picked up support from Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, and Jamie Jones, playing sets at the likes of Parklife, fabric, elrow and
many more.

For the artists first release on Hottrax, Clarke delivers a grooving two-tracker for Jamie Jones’ label. ‘Crazy High’ marries bumping low-end and subtle synthesis amongst rolling percussion and vocal slices, while
‘Apollo’ brings tweaked-out leads and wonky FX to round out the release.

“From the driven basslines & percussive grooves, I felt that both tracks go hand in hand to be the perfect combo for a two-track EP on a label that has been a goal of mine for quite some time.” - Calvin Clarke.

Calvin Clarke's ‘Crazy High’ drops on 21st October 2022 via Hottrax.

Miami's calling, Pakate answering. After the successful first volume released last year, Jean Pierre's label Pakate Records is back with another Various Artists compilation to celebrate one of the busiest weeks of the year. As always, Miami Music Week means seductive groovy beats, stripped-back drums, and hip-moving Latin influences. With its seven original tracks - "Pakate Alike - Miami 2023" contains everything you need to get your body moving throughout all the WMC marathons.

Opening cut "This Is Why" sees label-head Jean Pierre teaming up with fellow NYC artist David Berrie for a malicious, scattering jazzy jam, followed by a tight techy number by Rhoowax and the highly addictive "Problema" by Shahar & Motum with Luquez on the mic. To follow, we welcome back Rhoger & Blockhead with the bubbling "G Woman", Cuttin' Headz affiliate Daniel Orpi, Trangaz & Lowest and Davide Mentesana, all providing essential dancefloor tunes. Alike it or not, this is a must-have. Bienvenido a Miami!

I am extremely happy to announce the release of my very first album, "Leaving", on June 27! This album is the result of many months of hard work, passion and collaboration with talented musicians. “Leaving” is a deep exploration of afro house, blending captivating rhythms and vibrant melodies that reflect my influences and musical journey.

Each track on this album has been carefully crafted to give you a unique and immersive sound experience. Additionally, I am particularly proud of the extraordinary collaborations that brought this musical vision to life. "Leaving" is more than just an album, it is a sonic journey that will transport you into a universe rich in emotions and sensations.

Boogeyman is a brand new sub label from The Martinez Brothers's legendary Cuttin' Headz.

The brainchild of Jesse Calosso, who also takes the lead with A&R, kicks off with a fantastic compilation showcasing the sound and talent the label will deal in.

Jaden Thompson, Aaron D, Jean Pierre, Joey Daniel, and The Martinez Brothers themselves all feature.

Planet Mars from Aaran D opens with chunky house drums and a cool sense of funk from the lithe synths. AJ Christou & Gabriel Torres link for the kicking Raw Life, with its warped synths and kinetic drums pumping the party, then UK stalwarts Alex Arnout & Matt Tolfrey come together for Back to Flat, which is a high speed and silky deep house cut. Blas Cordero impresses with his tightly woven deep techno banger 'Do It' while Jaden Thompson layers in some heartfelt vocals to the irresistible drum programming on his 'Closer.'

Elsewhere Jean Pierre's 'Da Heights' is a tech funk workout with twisted pads and skewed bass that has a futuristic vibe and Calosso himself helps define the collection with Disc-Hoe, a lively cut with ramshackle drums and vocal stabs bringing the steaminess.

Closing things out is Joey Daniel with another of his house masterclasses, then The Martinez Brothers step up with a hard hitting groove that has robust drums and drilling bass which is all about blowing up the floor. Last of all, Vic Damone Jnr offers a new school take on the Chicago sound with raw claps, ghetto vocals and bumping bass that is truly electric.

This is a fantastic first release from this sure to be vital label.

Up next is the ever-popular UK talent Iglesias with his latest standout piece ‘Every Inch’. Calling in rising star Ben Sterling and label favourite Jezen on remix duties, ‘Every Inch’ offers a super-varied package - capable of appealing to even the most diverse of musical palates. 

The original mix is a firm reminder of why Iglesias is such a revered name within the UK scene and further afield. Swinging the gate open with a robust combination of groove-assembling elements, ‘Every Inch’ truly champions the Libero Sound. A captivating low-frequency partnership of thumping kick drums and rolling sub-bass cut straight through the middle of the track, paving the way for endless rhythm and a masterfully pieced together vocal topline that ties everything together perfectly. 

Ben Sterling follows with a standout remix, flipping things on its head. A perpetual analogue low end with heaps of grit and rawness throughout. Ben’s preference for hardware shines through in the remix, giving it an essentially dusty feel with endless dancefloor appeal. Glitchy, quirky and hard to put down; individuality with a real hooking quality.

Jezen brings the release to a close with a progressively building and enslaving re-work of the title track. Undeniably deep and full of soul, something we have seen him bring to the label previously with great effect, he’s on target with yet another standout track. Flicking between 4/4 and two-step, its layered synths and filtered vocals that modulate throughout the track all add incredible amounts of personality. Perfect to open or to close with.

Iglesias’ ‘Every Inch’ EP (Inc. Ben Sterling & Jezen Remixes) is proudly brought to you by Libero Records.
