@smigonaut 

Breaking through one's individual mold is a hallmark of evolutionary artistry, with the progression of musical knowledge and execution mirroring the progression of a composition. Time and again, Smigonaut has gone to ground in order to synthesize newfound skills with tried and proven fundamentals, showcasing a creative palette that is in constant flux. After taking the time to sharpen every edge and polish every texture, he's finally pulling back the veil on his largest collection of work to date, the Antithesis LP.

The Smigonaut catalog is first and foremost marked by its bevy of tones and styles, with few aural stones left unturned and unexplored. Consequently, Antithesis is a 12-track dive into every stylistic choice under the Smigonaut purview, running from Neuro-hop to breakbeat, drumstep to drum'n'bass, even going so far as to touch on the steady-beat end of the rhythmic spectrum. Each song is both a contained arrangement and an individual piece of the larger puzzle, pushing high-fidelity sound design and crisp engineering to the upper limit while maintaining the powerful songwriting that separates Smigonaut from the contemporary pack. For fans of virtually every flavor under the glitch-out sun, Antithesis is sure to be an instant add to any discerning audiophile's listening rotation.

Big City Life (D-Funk's Nu Disco Version) [Free Download]

It's been a little bit since my last freebie (https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/heard-it-through-the-bassline-free-download) which got a really great reaction! This ones on a more nu disco vibe but still with cool synths/bass lines. When this tune first came out in 2005 I was lucky enough to get the vinyl on promo. I played it so much! I picked up the remix stems a while back & when the new DnB version came out it spurred me on to do my own version that would fit into my sets.

This tune features on my D-Funk 25 (Part 2) mix: https://soundcloud.com/d-funk/d-funk-25-part-2

Big City Life (D-Funk's Nu Disco Version) *Free Download*

After he was already represented on our last compilation and is also involved in some current remix projects with us, we are particularly pleased to be able to present Sydka's new EP on our label today, which has the catchy title "Snakes and Ladders".

The saying Snakes and Ladders refers to situations in which people or events appear to go forward and backward, seemingly at random. Everyone can relate to this feeling and knows that life can sometimes feel like an endless loop of recurring experiences. It is all the more important to switch off your head from time to time and simply go with the flow of the moment.

Sydka's EP provides the perfect soundtrack for this vibe. The two originals, which come with his unmistakably groovy and detailed sound, are rounded off by three diverse remixes by Glenn Shaw, Flave and Kon Faber, which all give the original a unique twist.

We are very happy that the EP has finally seen the light of day and want to thank all the artists involved for their great work, as well as Haunted Water for the smooth mastering and Kilian Van de Water for the harmonious artwork.

Noise Souls - No Dominion [THE VOID EP MATTER RECORDS]

Just before the end of last year I teamed up with the great blog Life Support Machine (@lifesupportmachine-co-uk) to have a track included in their LSM Advent release which featured a free tune evert day in Dec! 

My track was a total remake of E.B.T.G's classic 'Missing' which I transformed into a nu skool breaks cracker. Ironically it dropped just a few days before the new E.B.T.G's new tune which is also on a breaks tip. It was exclusive with them on Soundcloud but you can also now get it from my Bandcamp (in all formats).

[Free Grits EP // GNG024]

It's been a little while since I released any mid tempo breaks style tunes. You know the ones that wobble & are quite 'heavy' on both the bass bins & the content. It's a style I'm finding myself increasingly moving away from but I had these 2 nuggets that I'd made to play at various festivals that I really liked. And so the Free Grits EP was born!

We made a cheeky booty!

We took the instrumental Nightmares On Wax remix of our release Cruise Control and added a Roots Manuva acapella and have been using it as a bit of a secret weapon for the last few months.

D-Funk > 'My Nikes' [Free Download] 

'A couple of months ago I played at a rave in UK. It was grimy in the best possible way. The other DJs were playing a mix of bass music & what I would call speed garage. That event inspired me to get in the studio & make my own take on it. I'm a huge fan of Flodan, the UK grime artist & the vocals used here come from his sample pack. He's got a great voice & I tried to use it in a interesting way.'

I bought J. Cole's 'KOD' LP as soon as it dropped with no warning to the fans; which I too am a fan.

"1985" resonated with me immediately so I asked Cole if I could get the Acapella and do an underground DJ version just for fun.

He sent it and I just pieced some stab samples to keep it on some boom bap shit.

Here it is.

J. Cole & DJ Premier '1985' (DJ Premier 1966 Remix)

A Mini Mix of the upcoming Soru album 'Cracks'. Stepping into the kaleidoscopic realm of mid-tempo psychedelia, Israeli electronic producer Soru merges technical psytrance influences and groove-centric Western flavors in his debut EP, ‘Cracks.’ Laced with musical elements drawn across time and tempo, this high-spirited collection tickles the mind with its exhilarating blend of low-end
rhythms and classic psychedelic progressions while exploring the more luminous sides of experimental bass music. Through colorful glitches, uplifting samples, and sensuous melodies, ‘Cracks is a journeyer’s dream bound for the shapeshifting landscapes of the global underground.

Soru is the brainchild of Yair (Sol) Solomon. Jerusalem raised, Tel Aviv based, veteran of the global Psy Trance movement and first label DJ (aka Nomolos)for the Australian Zenon Records. Drawing inspiration from Rock 'n roll, 90s hip hop and underground electronic sounds as well as urban jungles, the great outdoors and altered states, the Soru experience encourages listeners to "Lay down all thoughts and surrender to the void. “Produced by the amazing Maor Hasbani @ GUMI studios, Soru brings a mind warping psychedelica ‘get down’ to a sound system near you!

HAYLEY H - I MESSED UP REMIX {FREE DOWNLOAD}

Sydney-based, British born DJ, D-Funk has amassed a fair few achievements in his 25-years on the decks. Making his club debut at The Depot in Bristol in 1995, he’s gone on to DJ all over the world, playing notable sets at Space Ibiza and Ministry Of Sound and released on labels including Sunday Best and Bombstrikes. 

Getting his first set of decks at 14, Doug initially fell for the sounds of jungle and techno before a night dancing to house icon Tony De Vit in 1997 turned him towards the slinkier sounds of house music. 

His DJ career began to take off during his time at university in Wolverhampton where he started to pick up gigs at the Canal Club and Mezzanine, playing alongside DJs including Joey Negro, Mr Fingers, Scott Bond and Lisa Lashes, before a move to the South-Coast town of Bournemouth led him to eventually start his own night ‘Break Da House’ in 2004. 

The night took off, attracting big names including The Stanton Warriors and Plump DJs and eventually led to D-Funk’s first release, the ‘Electrotek’ EP after Dub Pistols headlined one night and Barry Ashworth from the band decided to release Doug’s music on his Westway label. The track found its way onto a TV ad in Portugal, as well as becoming a mainstay on Kiss FM’s breakbeat chart and gave Doug the confidence to pursue a career as a producer as well as a DJ, eventually leading to releases on Adapted Records and Ghetto Funk among countless other labels over the next 15 years. 

Moving to Sydney Australia in 2009, Doug started his label Upstart Music, releasing his own productions alongside tracks from the likes of Crackerz & Jam, Niko & Lyall and Rogue Robot and later started the funk label Grits N Gravy alongside friend and funk producer Philly Blunt, with the label winning the ‘Best Label’ award at Perth Dance Music Awards in 2010. 

Since living in Sydney, Doug has held down residencies at The World Bar and The Standard/Middlebar for the best part of a decade, as well as regular slots at Sash, Ivy, Goros, Hugos and many others. He’s played events for high profile companies such as Blackberry, Telstra, Jagermeister,  Sydney Cricket Ground & Saatchi & Saatchi. But there was still demand for him back on the side of the world and he regularly returned to Europe to play at Space Ibiza (including a set at the penultimate night of Carl Cox’s Revolution party) as well as touring in the UK, Europe, Asia and Canada. 

Now 25 years into his career, Doug is about to mark the 10th anniversary of his label Grits ‘N’ Gravy, with a compilation due this year mixed by himself and Philly Blunt, and has been busy producing house, hip hop and nu-disco with his current production partner Mr Doris.
