Taipan Trax is a fresh new label founded by Leeds based producer Phasmid. Kicking off the imprint with a killer compilation, Taipan Trax Vol. 1 features producers from up and down the UK, all spinning their own style on the dark and wonky sounds of the underground - mainly spanning across bass, rave and breakbeat. Gibbin’s ‘Bad Club Etiquette’ is exactly what it says on the tin, a boisterous track featuring a vocal sample shouting out bad behaviour. Also local to Leeds, Gibbin has previously released on Dim Sum Records, 199, Gimme A Break Records and more. 

‘Taipan Trax Vol. 1’ will be released on the 7th August - pre-order here: https://taipantrax.bandcamp.com/album/taipan-trax-vol-1

Premiere | Donsurf | Tell Me | [Roadkill UK]

Alicia Keys is one of the undisputed queens of contemporary R&B. Powerful vocals, earnest lyrics and a deep self-awareness are the main pillars that have held up her career. But what happens when you fuse ballads with basslines? For this vinyl-only co-release on Bristol imprints Eminent and Slippery Sounds, Knoxville’s Nikki Nair stands at the intersection between new and old and redefines exactly how to nail the bootleg edit.

‘If I Ain't Got You’ is a precise flurry of two-step garage and nostalgic vocals, Alicia’s lilting voice still recognisable despite the dancefloor environment. A glossy rhythm breathes life into the old classic so that it becomes a new entity, which somehow welds together the murky rave realm with the weightlessness of Summer. It’s rare for tracks to suit any given setting, but this one might just be a strong contender.
 
‘Show Me Love’ takes a more starry-eyed course, weaving dewy textures into a fresh whimsical appeal. There’s still a subtle nod to the past despite the more recent Alicia/Miguel sample, which comes in the form of the 2010’s grime era melodies and nostalgic soundscapes. The breakdown around the halfway mark is a particular treat; it hoists up the vocals in reverence before the first of two ice-cold, dubby drops.

They say that if you’re paying homage to one of the greats, you’ve got to do it right. But Nikki Nair goes above and beyond that into a captivating alternate reality where the rush the second time round is just as good. These bootlegs are instant classics in themselves.
