@djmikenasty returns with his next album, 'Black Planet', skillfully weaving together dance music with the rich tapestry of sounds from the African diaspora.

'Black Planet' draws on inspiration from jazz, house, blues, gospel, and the soul-stirring melodies of R&B.

‘Congratulations’ is the debut EP from @rajirags on his OTIH Records label. A culmination of his influences merged together, the EP spans breakneck percussive rhythms across five tracks.

‘Bullet Train’ featuring @soniacalico is full of sharp corners and hi-hats that hiss, a breakdown that distorts bowed double bass beyond recognition, and stuttering note echos from Koto synths before returning back to the driving and shuffling Taiko and Darbuka drums.

Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

Gaining support from Dork Magazine, BBC Introducing Kent, and Mr Suicide Sheep on his previous releases, London-based producer Stresshead enters a new musical era as he leans towards electronic sonic horizons with the double single ‘U&ME/So High,’ due for release on May 10th, 2024, via Duckland Records. In ‘U&ME/So High,’ Stresshead narrates the progression of a relationship over time, combining electronic beats and textures with artfully rendered melodies, making his new offering a club-ready formula. He explains: “The two tracks serve as an insight into a short-lived relationship. A declaration of love in ‘So High’ vs. a grieving of loss in ‘U&ME.’ I wrote the tracks after coming home from a night out with an unshakeable urge to make a song I could play in a DJ set.”

This month, Stresshead made his DJ debuts opening for SILK at The Garage and mixing for Drinks on Me’s club night launch party.

PREMIERE: Stresshead - U&ME [Duckland Records]
