Detroit techno innovator Robert Hood and Afro beat king Femi Kuti is not a pairing we thought we would see but it is one we are glad we have. They join forces on the former's M Plant label for this superb collision of musical worlds. It is unified by Afro beats and a unique mix of futuristic ideals with Femi's improvised jazz sax leading the way over Hood's cosmic synth sounds. The album was recorded in just one 30 plus minute take which is all the more of a testament to each artists's abilities. Femi's exquisitely free-flowing playing and Hoods signature grooves are perfectly intertwined in this great coming together of two avant art forms.

PREMIERE: Robert Hood & Femi Kuti - Variations Pt.6 [M Plant]

Dance music powerhouse Moxy Muzik is back with a superb new various artists EP featuring Man Power, Max Chapman, Dimitri Saidi, Camilo Do Santos and Deltech. This is the first in a new concept series that sees label head Darius Syrossian offering up two different sounds on one 12” - in this case classic house and minimal feature with one side for the purists and the other for the party animals.

Man Power aka Newcastle's Geoff Kirkwood runs both Me Me Me and We We We and has served up his genre-busting sounds on a range of classy labels. His superb 'Chozen' is a brilliantly hard to define sound with a standout double bass sound that could be borrowed from prime Roni Size while seductive jazz vocals from Mizbee up top bring the soul. Add in twitchy electronics, layers of percussion and driving drums and you have a fantastically original track. Chozen feat. Mizbee (Max Chapman Remix) is a much more club-ready and thumping house cut with an irresistible and weighty groove and lush synths that dance about the mix next to the well treated vocals.

Dmitri Saidi then keeps it deep with the chunky drums of Me Gusta which has a playful lead, and he also links with Deltech on Love Pain, a tight and punchy cut with perfectly stripped back drums and plenty of freaky late night energy. Last of all he links with Camilo Do Santos for the seductive and silky minimal house of Mama. All 3 of his tracks have been getting strong support from Loco Dice and Jamie Jones and others in Ibiza all summer.

These are two very different sides of music but all are equally fantastic tracks.

FREQUENCY UNDERGROUND INTERVIEW WITH EDWAR:

◾Real Name: Edwar Sanchez

◾Current city: Atlanta

◾DJ Collective: Dance Music Lifestyle(DML), S3ductiv Rhythm, Roots of rhythm.

◾How did you come up with your dj name: When I introduce myself to someone new they always think it’s Edward or Eduardo but, then I correct them and people always seem to think it’s different or interesting even though it’s one letter short from Edward. 

◾How and when did you get into djing: I used to listen to dj’s like Robbie Rivera, Axwell, Roger Sanchez etc. back in the late 2000’s and I really enjoyed and got inspired by the sound of that era. I later bought a dj controller and started mixing and practicing in my room all day. When I was old enough to start going to shows and festivals I got more into it and started playing at house parties all around my friend group. 

◾Who are your musical influences and what is your inspiration: My inspiration comes from listening and discovering new music and talent. I’m always looking for the fresh new sounds to keep me interested and inspired in my own mixes and productions. My current influences in electronic music range from Guy j , Dosem, Pornbugs, Mihai, Electricano to Thievery Corporation, Hird, Fila Brazilia.

◾Describe your sound as a DJ: My sound can range from dark driving progressive house to deep house, deep/tech, minimal house and breakbeat.

◾What does the future hold in store for you as an artist: I’ve have a release coming out June 28th on Deeper Harmonies with my good friend Tyler better known as Ericsson. I have a lot of ongoing projects for new music. Hoping to release them in the coming months to a year. As far a shows I’ve been quite but looking to start playing around Atlanta again and possibly the west coast.
