After, having signed, in June 2022, the label's most successful record (DE005), Diogo is back in business with EXT033 – Quem é o Criminoso? (“Who’s the Criminal?”). At a time when pressing becomes increasingly difficult for small labels, due to the increase in production costs to clearly prohibitive amounts, Diogo returns home with a collection of tracks in digital format.

Materializing the fourth release of 2023 for the Extended Records/Discos Extendes labels, and in a year that seems to prove to be quite prolific for the label Diogo points directly to the dance floor. 4 straight to the point tracks, no bullshit, and in a breakbeat style that we can already identify as his.

“Fallin”, the record’s opening theme, is a declaration of love anchored in a rimshot and in sweet and honeyed voice samples whose crescendo only bursts after 5mins of time. Raising the BPMs “Move Me” follows the same voice and breakbeat recipe, relying more on the relationship between breaks and the strength of a “jazzy” chord until the entry of the pad, which, towards the end, transforms the track into an atmospheric landscape with the beat and the filtered breaks fading into the horizon. But the track that really stands out on the EP is, without a doubt, “I Don’t Give a F*ck!”. With great emphasis given to the low-end, the track is guided by those that are already Diogo's trademarks: breaks, more or less familiar voice samples, and basses that are very present and that, in this theme in particular, hit us in a way very physical way! Around 01:40 the theme is interrupted by an unexpected scratch and we hear a highly recognizable voice repeating continuously “I Don't Give a F*ck!”. The EP ends with a remix of the elusive Tsuri that deconstructs “Move Me” and elevates it to a Jungle track based on the inevitability of the break and on the sampled piano that here becomes a varied and fun stab that guides the track in different directions.

Who is the Criminal? You ask... If the crime being to smash the dance floor, Diogo will certainly be the main suspect. “ – Diogo Vasconcelos, please present yourself to the authorities!”

PRE ORDER

*PREMIERE* Francois Dillinger - Persist To Resist

This summer sees the continuation of Faux Poly’s remix compilation series. Round 2 features an eclectic selection of artists close to and admired by label bosses Kassian.

Kicking off the compilation is a huge, cavernous, trance inspired reinterpretation of Kassians ‘No Clear Shape’ by Gina Breeze. Following this is Will Hoffbauer with a characteristically leftfield flip of Ste Roberts’ ‘Diego’s Mad Hour, who’s somehow gotten away with dunking a huge techno track into his bubble bath.

Another highlight comes from Rotterdam-based duo Black Cadmium, stepping up for their first ever remix together. Their dark electro inspired take on Ste Roberts ‘Dirty Politician’ is bursting with energy, holding onto the mood of Ste’s original with their own added signature.

Completing the lineup is London’s Third Son, Niceup, Void Complet, plus contributions from label bosses Warren Xclnce and Danvers.

"Witch Trials will release his anticipated new EP CANNIBAL CULTURE on 18 September in the form of our second vinyl release. The upcoming EP spans genres and journeys between contemporary dance, electronic, house, and breakbeat - showcasing the progression and expansion of a standout artist continuing to evolve and reinvent his craft.

The new EP from Witch Trials delivers a time-travelling thrust of rave culture, melodic riffs and atmospheric beats that would work the dancefloor as hard as a solitary listener at home – experiencing the tracks in confinement.

“CANNIBAL CULTURE… it’s the voices in your head that guide you, the demons in the night or day I overcome, the time I close curtains to obscure the light. It's the carnivorous force that kills, it’s the kindness of the crowd on the dancefloor, it’s also the power to continue to create. After the madness, anxiety, and constrictions within or outside of my mind, life goes on.” - WITCH TRIALS

London-based, American-born, and Irish-raised artist Witch Trials releases the visual for his new EP CANNIBAL CULTURE. Confusing the lines that bound or bind art and music, the visual captures the fusion of trauma, light after dark, and a chthonic realm of solitude. The photographic concept and the sound world push distinct interpretations of the mediums and work alone or in harmony."
