Danny J Lewis “Life Back Then”

To celebrate an incredible thirty years of music releases, Danny J Lewis goes back to his 90s roots with a collection of five brand new tracks released across five weeks, exclusively available in extended format on Traxsource.com. Album art features a unique 90s arcade game aesthetic and an accompanying story video showing Danny using a Time Machine to travel back to his favourite decade. Each track has been created with love, using authentic production approaches that echo the methods Danny used back in the day on those early vinyl releases. Every track in the collection brings its own perspective on the sound, ranging from deep to peaktime to emotive and soulful. Danny was one of a handful of UK producers making this sound in those early days alongside esteemed peers such as Ricky Morrison, Booker T, Joey Musaphia and Grant Nelson and has taken a reflective look back on his younger self:

“I’ve tried to forget about modern techniques and plugins and put my mind and spirit back into that 24 year old version of me. The young Danny in 1994 was so damn passionate and excited about making music but also quite innocent/naive and rather lacking in technical skills so I’ve taken that mindset and essentially rebooted myself with this collection but kept the learnt technical skills to keep the audio quality high”

In coming weeks, all five tracks in radio edit form will become a complete album for listening to on streaming services. All tracks are written, produced, mixed and mastered by Danny J Lewis for Just Underground Recordings.

Rosie From The Block & Sean McCabe - Deep Within EP

Rolling deep into the summer, Phuture Shock Musik returns with more hot dubplate pressure via their ‘PSM DUBZ’ series – this time in the form of a collaborative 4-track offering entitled ‘Deep Within’ EP by Bristol’s soulful house don Sean McCabe and Brussels-based rising star Rosie From The Block.

Fast becoming a regular on Phuture Shock, Rosie From The Block makes her third proper outing on the Bristol label, having debuted with ‘Believe In It’ EP back in 2022, and the subsequent ‘Believe In It’ (Remixes) EP released the following year – both of which received wide-ranging DJ support across the broken beat and house scenes.  Since joining the ranks of PSM, the Belgian producer, musician and vocalist has forged strong ties with the Bristol music scene, which has resulted in a number of DJ gigs for various events in the city, connecting with local artists and sowing the seeds for future collaborations – namely this very project here with distinguished producer and DJ Sean McCabe. While McCabe is certainly no stranger to collaboration, the Good Vibrations founder has worked with some of the finest vocal talent in the soulful house genre during his two decade career, through to notable collabs with the likes of Karizma, DJ Spen, Turbojazz and Lay-Far. 
With previous stints on Phuture Shock as a remixer and a joint-artist effort with Karmasound for 2021’s ‘A New Day’ EP, McCabe once again touches base, which marks his second release on the locally-based imprint and second as a collaborator.

Roughly eighteen months in the making, ‘Deep Within’ EP is a truly collaborative project that finds the said artists merging their exceptional talents over three tracks (+ a bonus dub) to whip up a soulful entrée that journeys thru house, broken beat, nu soul, RnB, boogie and even a touch of hip hop; wrapped in conscious lyricism touching on themes of self-reflection to spirituality.

Opening the EP on a mid-tempo tip is ‘Rise Above’, a jaunty bruk soul cut with an uplifting message; that’s centred around a slippery bassline, smooth keys and twisted boogie synth stabs woven into a languid drum pattern, complete with melodic RnB-tinged hooks and some conscious rap lyrics from Rosie to boot - revealing yet another side of her creativity. Next up is the stuttering rhythms of ‘Wake Up’, which picks up the pace while continuing in the broken vein – and lyrically addresses taking accountability for ones actions; underpinned by percussion-laced production that heavily nods to the 00s West London sound; full of bustling hi-hats, chunky bass, and quirky synthlines that slip and slide between the rhythmic framework. On the B-side and rounding out the release to heady effect is the deep house elegance of ‘Water’ where spiritually-toned vox glide across four to the floor beats enveloped by dreamy, oscillating synthwork and slickly placed guitar licks. Before seamlessly entering a musically rich suite of lush jazzy Rhodes chords, warm bass grooves and improvised spacey synth solos venturing late into the after-hours.  The release also comes with an extended dub mix of ‘Rise Above’, giving the more beat-inclined DJ’s a little extra something to juggle with.
