New music from Chicago's legendary Traxman to be released on UK label WORKS Records this week!  A pioneer of the Chicago sound from his early days on Dance Mania records, Traxman is responsible for some of the scene's most iconic tracks, such as Footworkin On Air, Lifeeeee Is For Ever, Pacman Juke, and Blow Your Whistle. "Fuk Um Up Bad featuring Will Engine" is a raw battletrack, while Da Look EP is an ode to the many influences that composite the musical landscape of Chicago.

This is the  Bristol label's second release. Established in 2020 by Half-time // Slow/fast co-founders DJ Jonco, Goldman and DJ Lazergun, WORKS is dedicated to pushing 160bpm dance music across the UK. The label's goal is to "exhibit the varying global sounds of these styles of music whilst retaining the futurist vision set out by the originators of these genres", Traxman's Da Look EP is a fitting second installment for the Bristol Label and event series. Follow the BUY link to purchase the release from Bandcamp, out Wednesday July 21!

[PREMIERE] Traxman Ft. Will Engine - Fuk Um Up Bad (WORKS records)

https://cocktailpartyeffectmusic.bandcamp.com/album/fixing-the-roof-ep

Cocktail Party Effect starts 2023 with his debut release on Nervous Horizon: ‘Fixing The Roof EP’.

The South London via Berlin artist known for his jaw dropping releases on Tectonic Recordings delivers 5 solid cuts all with their unique style. Made with a bunch of battered vintage hardware: in particular 90s samplers, synths, filters and distortion units paired with the latest computer software, this project really pushes the sound palette beyond conventional club music.

The opening track Fixing The Roof feels like a classic Nervous Horizon track from the time the label first started gaining traction. Safety Button is the bass heavy - dance floor pounder of the lot, a must in every set! 767 enters the “jungle experimentation” realm reminiscent of early Paradox (DnB producer Dev Pandya). Gecko Slide & The Police Took My Garden Away present copious amounts of analog distortion and explosive drum patterns that are really at the heart of the Cocktail Party Effect modus operandi.

Bro! (Love it)

This was a world in which money reigned supreme. One might be able to exchange and buy to the hearts content – for what else was there but for the very status of fancy goods and material things? This was planet market – a world in which life came second to the idea of purchase.

The clouds were thick and moody overhead, reminiscent of the sentiment and world which existed down below. Sellers shouted, hustlers moved fast and those out for a quick steal had to be speedy in the midst of the chaos. There were no rules on planet market – it was simply a battle to the top by any means necessary.

What was the price?

NIQH takes us on a futuristic trip. This latest record on Plasma Sources draws upon influence from science fiction and features a style of world building and ambient construction which is intriguing and highly listenable.

6. DJ Camel Blues & DJ Pop Shuv - Same As Me

Mortlock & Universal Project's 'Broken Silence' album stands to this day as a favourite LP for many. Previously unavailable in a digital format, Dispatch Recordings is proud to present a new twist on an all-time classic drum & bass album including new bonus material. Each track sounds superb, thanks to the glossy, modernised 2024 mastering work from Haden at Height Mastering. 

In the early 2000s Mortlock was part of Vicious Circle and dropped one of their first demos through the door of Universal Project's flat. By surprise this led to their first release on Renegade Hardware - a remix of the Universal Project track 'Jackhammer'. This connection would continue to be creative with Mortlock eventually moving into that same flat with Universal Project, where the legendary 'Rollers Convention' would form the first track from this album. Aiming to encapsulate the full range of styles that had inspired them during those furtive years, the album reflects their diverse influences with nods to everything from high melodics to tearout filth. All whilst still maintaining the essence of their sounds - which is to always keep it rolling. 
 
A lesson in rollers in the original sense, this is a firm favourite release for Ant TC1 who has led the 2 year album curation process as a fan first and foremost - it embodies raw breakbeat-driven tech-funk with heavy percussive 2-step and unique soundscapes for that unique Siren Records sound. Now complete with additional tracks, plus singles from the Siren catalogue.

Digital LP / streaming and an additional 10" lathe cut vinyl (exclusively via our Bandcamp), link below to listen / buy.
