T.U.R.F. return to Exploited following a fine run of form that has seen them release on legendary Parisian house producer Phil Week’s esteemed Robsoul label and on Slothboogie’s ‘Dancing With Friends Vol. 2’ compilation. They’ve also provided a remix for Tensnake’s album, found a lot of love on Traxsource and continue their show on Amsterdam’s Lovelee Radio. They’re back here with two no-nonsense tracks to fire up the dancefloor.

A typically chunky, galloping T.U.R.F. beat lays the foundation for looping disco bass and emotive strings to build the tension on ‘Keep Moving’, slowly teasing us with their full groove. A romantic string motif unfolds, bringing a bittersweet touch to this thumping disco house groover. Typically tasteful stuff from this talented duo.

‘Let The People Know’ takes a more heads-down route, with hard-funkin’ bass at the centre of this dancefloor bomb. Urgent vocal samples and sirens are drafted into the mix to keep things energetic, with driving percussion pushing the track along with a gentle sort of power.

Who Knows [Barbarellas]

Kerri Chandler feat. Dora Dora - Who Knows [Barbarellas] (Media Vocal Mix)

Ever since he could remember, Jon Dixon has had a passion for music. He began playing by ear at the age of four and has always enjoyed challenging himself by learning music in this manner. At the age of 15 he began reading and studying classical piano while enrolled at The High School For Fine and Performing Arts where he also studied jazz. Upon graduating he began performing with the Detroit Symphony Civic Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Detroit's own Godfather of jazz, the late Marcus Belgrave. While performing locally with this ensemble, he also attended Wayne State University where he studied jazz piano under Matt Michaels. As time went on, word of mouth began to spread about Dixon and his talents. While in college he accompanied The Mosaic Youth Theater of Detroit as an accompanist/bandleader for their productions and concerts as well as performing all over the city and state. Jon currently teaches multiple group piano classes at the Michigan State University Community Music School in Midtown Detroit. He has had the chance to also play for/with Chick Corea, Jeff Hamilton, Robert Hurst, Delfayo Marsalis, John Clayton, The Count Basie Orchestra, Marcus Belgrave, The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Leon Ware, Eric Roberson, Dwele, Amp Fiddler and more over the past decade. Jon has had the opportunity to not only lead the Underground Resistance live acts Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Timeline, but has also performed with Interstellar Fugitives, Amp Fiddler, Jeff Mills, Mike Banks, Derrick May, Francesco Tristano, Carl Craig, Goldie and more. Dixon is one of the city's most sought-after musicians for every genre ranging from jazz to techno. He believes that the more versatile and open minded you are at your craft, the further it will take you. In 2015 he started an independent label, 4EVR 4WRD (Forever Forward) to focus on making electronic music fused with elements of jazz, hip-hop and other styles of music. "I feel that it is important for me as a musician to not only continue the rich culture and history of both jazz and electronic music but to also use my knowledge, theory and experience to combine the two and take both genres to the next level!"

September 9th Jon presents us a new label's instalment, "Vocal Sessions Vol.1". His latest EP is composed of two original deep house cuts featuring two of Detroit's finest vocalists, L'Renee and Kenny Watson, who bring their unique voices to Jon's masterful production, as well as an incredible remix by Jimpster and an edit by Jon under his MinorInvention alias.  Released on vinyl as well as digital, the digital version will include the Brixton remix as a bonus track. Expect nothing but the Detroit jazzy house style he's known for. This is hi-tech jazz at its finest!

Premiere: Dam Swindle - More Love [Heist Recordings]

DJ Eddie Fowlkes created the techno genre alongside Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. Now the 'Godfather of Techno Soul' uses his extensive knowledge and experience to create dynamic dance music with a house EP drenched in Motor City inspiration. This two-track release is both a love letter to his musical roots and an inspired representation of the left-of-centre house that Classic is known for. For the lead track on this release, 'AHYEE', Eddie carves out his own sound in a low growl as distorted percussion whirs over a four-on-the-floor beat. 'Blow' goes tougher, with an undulating bass that adds a wonky unease to the rhythmic kick and syncopated decoration. Coming from producing some of the first techno records nearly 40 years ago, unique releases like this continue to prove Fowlkes' status as a constant innovator.

For the second instalment of his new born label, U FIT, Nico Lahs doesn't make any exceptions and delivers another sublime EP of high quality, the usual we are used to, showing how the Italian producer can equally release a lot of material in just a few months, but still of the best substance. Another 4-track EP that will get all deep/house heads in agreement: from the heavy house for sweaty basements to quirky and hypnotic/ethereal stuff.

Premiere | Nico Lahs - Possibilities [U FIT]

After more than a decade releasing quality music on prestigious labels worldwide, Italian artist Nico Lahs launches his new label, U FIT, with two new solo EPs. The first, Distant Shadows, is a 4-track EP that showcases all of Nico's skills and his ability to juggle the most diverse shades of deep house. A package that collects proper club tracks, groovy stuff, emotional deep house, and raw and deep tunes. Simply what one would expect from Nico Lahs. Tip!

Forbidden Dance Records sure does know how to signup the big boys with previous EPs from Patrice Scott and Dego making a fine impression. Next up is another house don, this time from Chicago: Specter can really go wild with his rhythms and raw textures as shown on EPs for Theo Parrish's label, but here he starts off with something soulful, dusty round the edges and deep. 'Putazo' then finds him embracing the occult with edgy and glassy synth lines zipping about more turbulent groves. 'Run The Course' is a grinding and mechanical groove of the sort he does so well, then 'Humble Pie' is all fizzing lo-fi synths and scuzzy drums patterns.

Bassline rhythms, soul drenched house fusion cuts and quality ugly tones. Tip!

"In Case You Forgot" E.P.

Premiere | Specter - Humble Pie [Forbidden Dance Records]

Like a phoenix from the ashes, or Ukrainian culture after centuries of demolition, the Kyiv based label Noneside Records is experiencing its revival and rebirth. After all, «Nothing will stop an idea whose time has come» - these words of chief Stepan Bandera make it clear to everyone: if you really burn with sincere emotion for your dream - no difficulties will stop you on the way to its realization.

Five unique tracks from Slava Los, Yevhenii Loi, Lostlojic, Luschn and aqua. - it's a tech house with elements of trance with soul and passion from musicians who write music despite the war. Visualization of the whole action on the record is the picture «The hug» by the Lviv artist Oles Derega.

Slava Los makes his debut on vinyl with the beautiful track «Snus» - old school trance in the best traditions. The author now defends the borders in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so he decided to fulfill his old dream about the vinyl. Yevgeny Loi is also currently in the military, but this did not prevent him from making a new version of «Bounce» - a trance for a slow, erotic dance mood. Lostlojic, who is also the art director of the project, recalls the important message of «Send Me F16» in the uncompromising track of the same name, or rather in its VIP version created especially for the release. Known to vinyl collectors for releases on Deeptrax and Infinite Pleasure. Luschn, a Kyiv legend and mega productive musician, known to tech house maniacs for his releases on Vector.Kyiv and Noneside, invites you to have fun and crazy dances with friends to his rehearsed «Ostinato Transdanz». Newbie aqua. has a unique recognizable style, where the rhythm is constantly changing in each track, nostalgic for the favorite place of childhood - near the Hydroelectric Station in Zaporizhzhia, crazy beats and steppe motifs in the track «H.E.S.».

Nothing will stop an idea

Premiere | Yevhenii Loi - Elastic Bounce (Edit) [Noneside]

The 2024 of New Interplanetary Melodies begins with a new album and an EP signed by ABYSSY, the historical producer from Bologna who returns to Simona Faraone’s label after a few years since the release of his previous works, Magnetic Archive (NIM001, 2016) under his alias Soulomon, and Two Scorpions EP (NIM002, 2017) under the name ABYSSY, which marked NIM's adventure in the world of contemporary Italian independent record labels.
ABYSSY is the musical project that combines the Italian producer's previous experiences with his entire world of musical influences: from the proto-techno of The Electrifying Mojo to the heart of Detroit techno and Chicago house, from the minimalism of Philip Glass to the sound of the Berlin school of the '70s, embracing electro, the heavy use of synthesizers from the minimal wave, and the science-fiction lesson of Kraftwerk. All of this encompasses the territories of '70s and '80s NY black music, drawing from funk, disco, boogie, seminal hip-hop, and breaks. It's a flow of eclecticism and hybrid energies that we also find in his latest works, EXTRA META LP + EXTRA META EP, an album and an EP that are intrinsically connected to each other and have multiple shades.

The album starts with the ecstatic Samba Temperado (A1), which takes us back to the glory days of German Kraut while Mars Trax (A2), Acid Rio (A3), and Quantuum (A4) catapult us into the depths of refined and twisted Detroit techno.

The B side opens with the beautiful Vectrex (B1), a track with a New York's disco-not-disco flavour, followed by the electric house music of Mixed Feeling (B2), a true gem for enthusiasts of more outsider sounds. With Italodoppler (B3), the arrangements become decidedly more '80s and sugary but have a sure grip on the most demanding dancefloors. We could consider ourselves satisfied, but ABYSSY and NIM also offer us two bonus tracks (only in digital format) that further enrich the spectrum of sounds presented in EXTRA META LP: the swirling ambient of Supernova (DGTL1) and the carefree proto-house extravaganza of Ordnateur Numerique (DGTL2).

The journey with ABYSSY's music continues with EXTRA META EP, a natural continuation of the album, starting with the over 14-minute crescendo of C3C6 (A1), a true intergalactic techno journey. Lower Milky Way (B1) nods towards the most elegant Italo disco sounds, and the EP concludes with the granular atmospheres of Busy Line (B2). Just like the album, this EP will also be enriched with two bonus tracks in digital version: the sharp electro of Choices (DGTL1) and the lo-fi house of Drumatic (DGTL2).

EXTRA META LP and EXTRA META EP will be available from February 22nd and March 14th, 2024, respectively, on New Interplanetary Melodies' Bandcamp and in all the best record stores.

"Extra Meta was born from the passion for a certain electronic sound ecosystem of the '70s and '80s, a journey that embraces minimalism of the "Berlin school" and extends to the beating heart of the soul/funk of Detroit techno. A journey into the abyss of emotions and the unknown of the human spirit, as the deep darkness of the ocean intertwines with the unfathomable darkness of space. An invitation to explore new sound boundaries, to let yourself be lulled by waves that repeat without ever repeating themselves and to immerse yourself in the reflective mystery of discovery and of evolution, a dance in darkness and light, and where the abyss of emotion merges with the infinity of imagination: ABYSSY."
