Get ready for five electrifying tracks that will keep you moving and jukin'.
Authentic Footwork and Juke styles, direct from the birthplace of the genre, by Chicagos own DJ.MC.

A producer and DJ from the Low End projects, that found his passion for music and dance during childhood at the Bud Billiken parade. He joined the South Shore Drill dance team, grooving to ghetto house beats. Inspired by Gant-Man's juke and ghetto house tape in '98, he began producing with DJ ROC and EQ-Why during high school. His international debut was in 2010 on Planet Mu's Bangs and Works comp. After a 5-year hiatus, DJ Spinn encouraged his return in 2022 and has now teamed up with us Former City Records in 2023 to bring you this 5 Track EP.

This EP pays tribute to the late and legendary DJ Deeon with a special feature that showcases his iconic sound, ensuring his legacy lives on through the music.

Gerdo G & DJ Felix49 - Running [PREMIERE]

Freak Show (preorder on Vinyl)

Lai Raw the Bohemian Rawsauce Chameleon is a sub-species of the Mega Buff Familia Casablanca. Lai Raw is best known for being capable of shifting to different hues and varying degrees of funk which allows him to regulate his beat temperature into a plethora of colourful break styles. When hunting for new music to lay down in clubs, Lai Raw has the uncanny ability to move his ears in two different directions at once so that his engineering brain can constantly analyse and separate the individual sounds of his environment. However, the belief that the chameleon can change to match his surroundings is a common misconception. In the making of the Invisible EP, sitting and feeling unnoticed on a tree branch, Lai Raw used his sticky, projectile tongue to catch cute samples and Jersey Club riddims. Including a renegade remix by Moodrich, these were then converted into six tracks which vary in colouration and tempo. The colours stand out so vividly that it is hard to imagine what’s happening or if they serve any natural purpose but to break backs again.

Invisible EP

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT 🌐 Lai Raw - ASCL [MEGA BUFF RECORDS - MGB002]

After his first two one-off singles “Black Pegasus” and “Day Without
You” introduced DJ Swagger’s massive songwriting abilities and
love for recording instruments, his first album on Kommerz Records,

“Chemistry Forever”, showcases his background in UK-leaning elec-
tronic music as well as new tendencies towards neo soul, indie pop

and jazz. Welcome DJ Swagger to the Kommerz Records stage and
prepare for the album to drop on March 22nd.
The 25-year-old from West Germany’s Bielefeld is pretty much the
archetype of a so-called Wunderkind. At his young age the producer,
DJ, multi instrumentalist and songwriter released more than 40 vinyl

records including two solo albums and endless rave tracks since turn-
ing 16. As of most recently and even though coming from an electronic

music background DJ Swagger’s creative agenda ventured more and
more into classic songwriting and taking over the role of lead vocalist

of his one-man-band. His third solo album “Chemistry Forever” show-
cases this transformation from UK-influenced electronica towards

neo soul and indie without losing its listeners at any point. His subtle
melancholic vocal performance and the just as subtle, yet constant
pop appeal make this equation solve itself magically. From electro, 2
step and breakbeat over hip-hop, indie and R&B to a final bebop (!)
madness – “Chemistry Forever” is a trip for music lovers while each
and every song has heavy potential to be listened to on repeat.
Besides his own vocal performances DJ Swagger also invited rappers
TripSixVivo (London), Vitus04 (Bielefeld), Kaba (Paris) and poet Dainell
Aiken (NYC) for mesmerizing guest perfomances. Additional production
work came from Hamburg dance producer Speckman and jazz outfit
Jonas Gersema Trio.
Aaaand since we called him a Wunderkind: Be aware that he’s not only
a next level musician, but studied graphic designer, illustrator and
most likely many more things. Just an example: Most recently he sold
self-made perfumed candles through his D.I.Y. label and fashion brand
Goddess Music. He obviously designed everything around the album,
directed the music videos and merch drops are to be expected.
For us, brothers Lukas and Jonathan, the love story goes way back
though. In the midst of the long gone lo-fi house hysteria (2017-2018)
we discovered the Bielefeld native‘s dance floor productions, which
fused hip-hop braggadocio with pumping electronic music. We kept
following up on his ever evolving musical journey into new genres
and felt super honored when he reached out to release his upcoming
projects via Kommerz.
„Chemistry Forever“ will be released on March 22nd on vinyl and all
digital platforms!

Chemistry Forever

But The World Won't Break Me (feat. TripSixVivo)

Off The Dime

@cab_asa makes his debut on Control Freak with 4 tracks of stripped back, percussive dance music, plus a remix from NYC/Kindergarten’s @aye5ha.

Belgian producer Cabasa has carved a distinctive niche in the fertile Brussels club scene with his sleek & minimalistic productions, which reimagine UK soundsystem culture through a fresh, contemporary lens.

'Bird Tool' traverses a range of genre and BPM ranges in typical CF fashion, from the 140-influenced stylings of ‘Volume 3’, to the mutant halftime rhythms of title track ‘Bird Tool’ and ‘End Credits’ - exploring a tempo range that’s become a popular fixture of UK club music in recent years. Rounding off the release, Ayesha delivers a slick ‘Drums You Can Touch’ dub of 'Bird Tool', fresh off the back of her critically acclaimed LP ‘Rhythm Is Memory’.
