Did someone order a piano banger? Black Hawks Of Panama debuts on Exploited with an absolute monster in the form of ‘Hurts’ that’s set to get pulses racing and fists pumping skyward, ready for the Ibiza season.

Supremely chunky ‘90s house beats with a gently distorted techno undertone pummel away underneath the phat bassline whose tone is perfectly balanced between weight and melodic overtones. Piano chords bang a jaunty, rave-influenced hook, and Bisi’s sweet vocals provide a sensual, soulful counterpoint. Little else is needed to make this track thump hard except subtle sustained strings and big cymbal crashes, and there’s an instrumental available which cuts to the meat of the track.

And who is Bisi? She’s better known as British actress Victoria Ekanoye, a woman of many talents who featured on Black Hawks’ previous single on Future Disco ‘Mercer Street’. She starred in the West End musical ‘The Lion King’, toured the US with ‘The Blues Brothers’ and fronted the show as Mistress of Ceremonies at both the London and New York infamous nightspot ‘The Box’. She takes her influences from blues, jazz, Stax-era soul and trip-hop.

“Our mutual friend Lisa Forshaw had worked as a PR for Victoria whilst she was on the nation's most popular TV show” says Black Hawks Of Panama. “Lisa got in touch with me and explained I should work with Victoria. Immediately I was struck with vocal range but also her presence as a performer. So I hired a commercial recording studio in Manchester as we didn’t know each other then and we agreed 'Feel For You' would be a great track to do as it’s a joint favourite! Although I didn’t want a carbon copy of the Chaka classic—I don’t see the point in that—I wanted something more lowdown and sultry! After a great first session we discussed Bowie, Prince and Patti Labelle, so it was pretty clear from this point this was going to work out well!!”

The Mancunian producer behind the track took his name from an inspirational time spent in Panama City and its surrounding rainforests. Born to parents who both had influential roles in the Manchester music scene of the 1970s and 80s, he has spent time living in Ibiza and DJed under another name for many years. Black Hawks of Panama is a project that’s going from strength to strength, and this hot new single looks set to break down yet more doors for him.

Portugese/Italian artist Vhyce returns to Street Tracks with the impressive three track EP, ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’. Having graced the label with the ‘Far From Reality’ EP in April 2021, this exciting producer follows up with a trio of ethereal and infectious house tracks.

Breezy and rich in analogue sounds, Vhyce’s Italian roots can be heard in the Italo-disco inspired composition of all three cuts on the EP, as luscious synth melodies and chunky arpeggiated basslines are a common thread here, with every track being a sure-fire winner.

Having already released for esteemed labels like Pets Recordings, Sincopat, Monaberry, Future Disco and Boogie Angst, Vhyce is certainly making good progress in a busy and cluttered scene and is most definitely an artist to watch over the coming months.

Real disco fans will love the sample that found its way into the new disco/indie dance banger by DJ and producer Claus Casper. But that's not all there is to say about this track: Even after 30 years in the game, Claus Casper keeps crafting new versions from old songs or creating originals that won't just shake your mama's hips.

"Hip Shakin Mama" comes as a piano dub mix by everbody's all-time favorite Gerd Janson. You can imagine Janson letting loose on the piano when hearing this remix. This EP is fun, it's a hip shaker, and it's one you won't soon forget.

art | werk welcomes another two bright shining stars. Hailing from sunny California, with past releases on Lobster Theremin and Shall Not Fade, Edward White debuts with his signature sound - dreamy, slightly lo-fi house and is joined by Tagavaka, coming out of Scotland, known for his outstanding work on Anjunadeep.

Both tracks serve two different moods, Edward´s original brings out a summer vibe for these early DJ sets and Tagavaka takes us on a bit more melancholic journey with his rework, for these much later or early in the morning moments. As his bio says: “Tagavaka means to drift away, in search of love, adventure or closure.” We shall hope that this quest will be fulfilled.

Headed up by Tensnake, True Romance has remained a consistent sun beam across dance floors across its 9 years of operation. 

With a balmy back catalogue including Tensnake himself, Jesse Bru, Red Rack 'EM and Jozef K; the label has maintained a strong strain of positivity and jubilant party vibes throughout. 

Next up is an EP that slides neatly in with its predecessors - a 2-tracker from True Romance family member Factory Sequences.

Hailing from the UK, Factory Sequences has appeared on True Romance 3 times so far and his latest offering evinces why he is a popular contributor. 

'Moisture On The Motherboard' kicks things off as it steadily swirls and swells into an entanglement of strings, emotive keys, bold synth stabs and a ripe, punchy kick. 

Blobs of acid and piano lines are introduced as a competent handle on melody across multiple instruments is demonstrated.

'Sonarflex' then follows up with a rich, swooping synth lines which tug on the heart strings will a languid groove propels progress forwards. 

Glacial twinkles and razor sharp hats add colour across a track with a distinctly cinematic tone. Rounded, steady bass tones fill the low end as nifty drums dart in bringing an eyes down dance floor epic to a close.
