Australian duo Close Counters return to The Remedy Project for their soulful slice ‘BUTTER BREAD’, featuring Irish singer-songwriter shiv. Fusing broken beat, jazz and neo-soul with electronic production, Close Counters’ eclectic sound first appeared on Melvo Baptiste’s revered imprint in 2022, with singles ‘SNAP TO IT!’ and ‘GET DOWN!’ earning them support from key tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova and artists like Folamour, Barry Can’t Swim, Jaguar. A live act at heart, the band have made a name for themselves in the UK and Europe, recently touring across venues like Ninety One Living Room and Ronnie Scott’s as well as tastemaker festivals like Lost Village and Defected Malta; the band’s return to the UK will see them perform live at Brick Lane Jazz Festival, Love Supreme, Glastonbury and a slew of live dates across summer 2025, with their latest LP LOVERS DANCE ACADEMY climbing tastemaker charts in their home country and receiving major radio play across the UK and US. Now they unveil ‘BUTTER BREAD’ featuring house DJ turned singer-songwriter and producer, shiv. Previously impressing on Luke Solomon’s imprint with house collective Girls of the Internet for ‘Never Ever Ever’, shiv’s smooth vocals and effortless tone is the perfect match for Melvo Baptiste’s cool, tasteful imprint. ‘BUTTER BREAD’ is a faultless amalgamation of the two artists’ style; Close Counters’ laid-back composition is brought to life through complex production subtleties and live elements as shiv’s vocals stack in harmony, supporting her rhythmically decadent lyrics.

Captain Planet returns with "Tony's House," a high-energy dancefloor tribute to Afrobeat legend Tony Allen. Inspired by Allen’s groundbreaking rhythms for Fela Kuti & Africa 70, the track blends elements of his classic "Afro Disco Beat" with bass-heavy house. Captain Planet calls Allen a dream collaborator and credits Afrobeat with opening his mind to music. This first single teases the upcoming 6th full-length album with global club energy.

Born out of the vibrant Naples funk and disco underground, The Funkin’ Machine is a five-piece powerhouse blending Mediterranean rhythms with vintage cosmic grooves.

Formed in 2020 by vocalist and keyboardist Andres Balbucea, alongside guitarist Alessio Pignorio, drummer Andrea De Fazio, bassist Roberto Porzio, and percussionist Paolo Bianconcini, the group has deep roots in Italy’s modern funk scene, with ties to acts like Mystic Jungle, Nu Genea, and Parbleu. After debuting on Periodica’s Seri Pegaso label, they’ve now joined the Star Creature family for their upcoming LP.

We’re happy to present the first taste of said project, a 7" single that serves as a teaser to the forthcoming album – an exclusive preview of the A-side: The Funkin' Machine - Nun Trovo Cchiù (Instrumental Mix)
