Peggy Gou’s Gudu label announces the second edition of its Various Artists compilation series, Gudu & Friends Vol. 2.

First launched last year, Gudu & Friends Vol. 1 featured eight new tracks, from already-established label regulars (DMX Krew, Mogwaa, Hiver, Dukwa, Brian de Palma) and a trio of new faces (Closet Yi, Salamanda, Lady Blacktronika). In keeping with the international outlook and spirit that has always been at the forefront of Gudu, the compilation comprised artists from South Korea, Italy, the UK, USA, Korea and Ukraine.

Released on May 2, digitally and as a limited cassette edition, Gudu & Friends Vol. 2 features a batch of new faces to the label — Alinka, Gina Breeze, Jordan Nocturne (featuring Coco Cole), Minju and Nyra — alongside Hiver, Mogwaa, Dukwa and Matisa.

Each Gudu & Friends compilation will have artwork tied into the lunar new year. For Gudu & Friends Vol. 2, the art comes from illustrator Jin Young Choi (who also illustrates the Gudu Mix series) and reflects the year of the dragon.

Tracklist:
1. Hiver - Drama
2. Alinka - Night Train
3. Gina Breeze - Rebound
4. Mogwaa - Arctica
5. Dukwa - Coco
6. Matisa - Yummy

T4T LUV NRG is about to rock your stereo this spring with a sequel to the label’s first release “Raving Disco Breaks Vol. I” (2018). Eris Drew wanted to create a new sound for the second volume of her acclaimed mixtape series instead of simply retracing the pure disco vibes of the original. Setting her sights and intentions on creating a rock ‘n’ roll infected house mix, Eris worked on building crates for the last five years, finally reaching an inflection point—a moment of concrescence—when she was ready to put the needle on the records and let the beats flow. “Rock The House” was born, a concept for Volume II built from musical fragments, memories, and synchronicities. There are no classic Big Beat tunes on Volume II, instead Eris kicks out the jams for this mix with non-stop house and breaks cuts featuring plenty of rockin’ vocal vamps, as well as the likes of Janis Jopin, Joe Strummer, Ramones, and Led Zeppelin—all sampled, scratched and dropped along the way. Both sides of the mix include some of her most personally coveted recordings. To gather these records, Eris spent decades identifying tracks from older mix cassettes recorded by her DJ heroes, such as Terry Mullan and Mystic Bill, as well as discovering many of the featured tracks through happenstance and countless hours digging through dusty bins and YouTube rips. Each of the tracks on Volume II are at least 20 years old—some much older—but fresh is the word here, and the word is freeeesh!

Now, as the snow melts and the flowers of rave romance start to bloom, T4T wants to know one thing…Are U ready to rock right?

Musical purveyor & vibe creator https://soundcloud.com/jacob-meehan injects our weekend with a more than healthy dose of sultry beats. Since moving to Berlin in 2016, he's become one of the driving forces behind two events beloved by the queer community: Buttons & WHOLE Festival. Both encourage imaginative, playful possibilities that emphasize creativity, presence & care.

About his favorite track:
I love Sekucci's psychedelic remix of John Yienger's "Think For Yourself." Shout out to my NYC sis, who is an amazing DJ, producer, and all around lovely person. Sekucci will be joining us this summer at WHOLE Festival's ambient stage. That record is out on Major Records, which imho is currently the hottest label out there bringing us all the kicky fresh club cutz.

Sweet Abyss resident Kiernan Laveaux takes us on a journey through realms of shoegaze and bisexual lighting, inspired by music from her weird life and the work of famously bisexual shoegaze fan Gregg Araki - partly inspired by mixes from naemi/exael and Ricky Mawzlin of Jellyfish.

Sweet Abyss: Gregg Araki Life Soundtrack with Kiernan Laveaux @ The Lot Radio 4-24-2024

‘10 Years Love On The Rocks - Sky Is The Limit’ is a compilation celebrating a decade of the seminal label, a reflection on its journey, the current status of the dance floor and a pivotal moment for its founder; a personal essay over eight tracks on ten years in the game, from one of the most unique voices in the industry: PARAMIDA.

The V.A. features a selection of artists reflecting the idea of chosen family at the heart of the label – figures responsible for early releases such as Massimiliano Pagliara and Fantastic Man, to Alex Kassian, recent additions E-Talking and Running Hot, and newcomers to the label such as Sweely and Dreamphaze – a collaboration between Alex Bradley and 90s techno legend Neil Tolliday – to name a few.

Expertly curated and sequenced, equally rewarding in close listening and on the dancefloor, there’s a thread throughout that pairs laid back grooves with cinematic, emotional chords, tripped out keys and melodies, and variations in ambience, with highs and lows that feel reflective, nuanced, considered and masterfully crafted; a reflection of the maturity that has developed in the label’s output since its first release in 2014, Massimiliano Pagliara’s classic ‘Flying Away From You’.

Connecting classic house, prog and balearic influences, the label’s sound remains indefinable but unmistakable and in full effect here, not afraid to reference iconic prog/trance and even euro dance in a compilation that envelopes the complete spectrum of dance floor emotion. There’s nothing out there quite like this – a quality true of all the label’s releases, an achievement that was both the focal point of the label at its inception and a full circle moment that speaks to its development – staying true to itself while progressing with (and shaping) the times – a decade later.

“I never expected Love On The Rocks to make it to ten years,” explains PARAMIDA, whose own trajectory over the same period of time – to Panorama Bar resident and one of the most prominent, boundary-pushing and sought-after artists in the game – has been nothing short of meteoric.

“Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. When the time comes, I know what the last release will be. But it never feels like the right time. This compilation represents the past, present and future. It’s an inflection point. After this, anything is possible.”

Sky is the limit.

Frank and Tony’s long history together has produced many seminal moments, and the release of the Ethos album this year on their own Scissor & Thread imprint marked yet another high point. 

The album saw the friends and long term collaborators produce a body of work that was both joyous, thoughtful and politically charged. Adding to that is this five track remix EP which enlists artists of a distinct pedigree to reimagine some of the tracks, and to stunning effect. 

First up is Cecile featuring Eliana Glass, the pianist and singer who graces a pair of tracks on the album and this EP. Charles Webster is responsible for the flip - a typically moody and atmospheric vibe brings out new layers in the original. 

Eliana Glass also features on Timmy Regisford’s remix of Olympia, which exhibits some of the New York legends greatest attributes - a hypnotic, uplifting masterclass ensues. Regisford’s instrumental version of Olympia is also shared here. 
Elsewhere C.K brings the heat with a rework of By The End They Will, creating a bumping, raw cut. 

The same track is flipped by Octo Octa, who takes the vibe fathoms deep and produces an idiosyncratic ravey version while honouring the spirit of the original.
