Reasons To Dance enters the label-sphere with its first release SUNROOM001. Kicking off with a various artist compilation, Reasons To Dance aims to provide an up-beat take on today’s forward thinking dance music. The release set its sights on the meeting point of rhythmic weirdness and uplifting sound design, without taking itself too seriously.

Dåser’s Salt Rock kicks us off with lush, syncopated pads, heavy dub tinged drums and bright sound design twisting from one ear to the other. A hard to define 140 rumbler,towing the line between playful in-your-face-ness and club heavy percussion. Dundalk native Lauerince Kapinga follows up with a synthy gem KoraKoraa’s with a triumphant arpeggiated synth line that flutters in between laidback drums, creating truly joyful dance music. Glimmerman is up next with ‘Cirlcuar South’, a tripped out percussion exercise filled with warm, textured pads.

Next up is label co-founder Fionn with the futuristic, techy leaning Pamp. Meandering low end and glitched out percussion combine in a burst of dance floor energy. St. Amp’s, Lyra Pad slows it down with a modern dancehall chugger, filled with lush 80’s inspired sound design. Safedose throws us a UKG curveball with SD001. The pairings production debut bounces along a heavily 2-step inspired beat, chock full of vocal chops nand synthy stabs. LOU takes us down a progressive wormhole with Channelling Enchantment. Eyes closed, early morning type beat. SPOOKLET finishes off strong with a Juke tipped emotional banger. SPOOKLET’s own vocals take center stage, with choir-like backing vocals and glitched out percussion rounding off the comp nicely.

RUNEIK.  ᵂᴵᴾ

Love fueled with needle dragons silver teeth  injects her poison to kill all my emotional agony but when I abandoned her she become the devil that raped and ripped apart from my mind and body  to under the surface of my skin cold  sweat so hot  burning up like being cooked from the inside out to the inner marrow of my bone feeling like broken glass agony any time I start moving  craving waiting for the pain to escape my veins collapsed  forever when I went cold turkey in jail for 6 months her

kisses with her itching warmth the blood  that intoxicated me made from the sexual sins angels blood with a glowing halo of liquid gold blooming blood just to fed the inner dead child's need for relief of past trauma pain was now my enemy forever 

IV  Methamphetamine mixed with heroin Alices drugs of choice snorting coke needle in vein nose in pain but I hated so much but she kept injecting me giving pills made of blue and red crystal rolling glass underneath torches burn like rocket fuel powered breaking down to yellow plastic chemical  

 IV Coke mixed with Liquid Acid watching my chest split open  bones flesh blood black lungs I saw dripping with tar in a black lit trap house room where I was called the doctor giving clean injects and teaching harm reduction for IV drugs use

I was the Trap house street drug doctor memories the heroin's help book my bible  

Giving the sealed packages of tools to indulged in the poppy goddess blood but prep and injected safely others  who personally paid me to inject them because they could trust themselves  knowledge I retained in medical  built watched a lot of my friends drop dead by their own hands 

Heroin to me was a sacred tool for astral projection my first time I watch my ex overdose while away from my body snapped back to save her from the death rattling raspatory realization that death was coming in any minute but death never accepted me no matter how many times I questioned and listen to my My Mother Death in her womb of endless black descent into the voids between the lines of realities and death entities the gods and goddess older than the archons   of the Gnosticism Different from Hermes Trismegistus deeper than Hermetic teachings this was only the start of my studying a a junkie obsessed psychonaut explorer I'm the luciferian leader of the Order of the blood Eclipse  I am to this day and the cult we live together 

Crack 

Inject speed balls of hell as Meth cuts through my veins 

I collapse as sweat poured down my back like a a pitcher of freezing water was thrown on my back heart just bodies falling to my knees  white out to black to vomiting in the room around the back 

Mushrooms

Salvia divinorum my sacred plant my sacrament my key my portals to my divined highest I met my goddess  the geometrical shaded Purple Goddess and her children the indigo children me I saw all of them in a dark trance  floating  to me as I looked in the mirror  as my face turned into wiggling brown earth worms slipping one by one dropping to the floor  I watch time and space rip apart where my apartment wall stood she strip me of my body and gave me forbidden ancient forsaken knowledge 

Just as when I summoned the Mother of Death so pleased she still to this day Communicates with me as my alters are each given a hold of the occult that bleeds up into my mind when I want to induce a trance I make contact on automatic 

 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone MDPV Snorting as half a gram at once but watch my friend die Infront drop dead on the floor 


Drugs Occult

¡too bad! (prod. emperor)

Downplay is proud to present the debut EP from Guildford producer Kobe JT.

‘Free’ is full of ﬂavour - with a spicy 2-step groove underpinning jazzy keys and a soulful diva vocal. Chopped instrumentation and a bubbling bassline add the essential seasoning for a properly tasty UKG bubbler.

‘Ninety Five’ takes it’s title seriously, with a studious throwback to the golden age of emerging US & UK Garage. Rolling 4x4 provides the framework for descending chords and sparkling horns, stretched across a bumpy 2-step rhythm.

Finally label mate Limita steps up to twist the lead track into a high-tempo bassline assault with just the right amount of funk to ﬁll any discerning danceﬂoor.
