On the System: December 17

Moxie Presents Vol.1 is the first instalment of a series of compilations i’ll be putting together reflecting the amazing new talent I champion on my BBC Radio 1 & NTS shows.

It includes exclusive tracks from some of my favourite artists, showcasing the different textures and sounds I like to hear both on the radio and in the club.

Hope you enjoy!

04 Lokiboi - Trip (Moxie Presents Vol.1)

As on last year's gorgeous Days Like This / On My Own, plus the "Universal Glow" follow-up, Shanti Celeste yet again vaults the bar marked 'really, really good' with ease; she's been on a roll for a while now, and shows little sign of tapering off. "Moods" plays it a little more direct than the head-in-the-clouds numbers before, doing away with the enchanting vocals and supplanting them with a dancefloor-primed bump that is impossible to deny. This one's out on  BRSTL, an imprint Shanti has an active hand in, and home of her very first 12". It also continues a now strikingly obvious release pattern – September, April, September, April. With music as bright as this, who'd have guessed?

He Is The Voice I Hear’ is my first all new work since “Lady Of Sorrows.” It’s been a long journey from there to here. I’m so thrilled to continue the story and finally realize my dream of bringing together an ensemble of live musicians.

This record was a joy to create with my engineering and production partner, Rupert Murray, Davide Rossi on strings and Christoforo LaBarbera on keys. The vinyl was mastered and cut by Tim Xavier for Manmade Mastering.  We’ve also put some special touches into the design of the record itself. 

Incredible thanks to Adam Rowe, Andrew Gordon, Jake Nelson and everyone that helped make this record possible at all.

AZURA - Paraíso '89

Proximity Recordings
Genre – Drum & Bass 
Cat Number – PROX093
Artist – Black Opps
Title – Jericho EP

A. TomaHawk
B. Jericho
C. Brah-Mos

RELEASE DATE: 17/11/2017

Black Opps on PROX093 is an exercise in dark sound, drawing on war-influenced samples and opting for uncompromising drums and bass. Jericho EP is a triplet of tunes that further help define the essence of the Proximity sound.

The opening track, ‘TomaHawk’ has the sound of danger in a post-apocalyptic world. The initial protection provided by the cover of synths help introduce the main body of the track. This protection is soon cut back, unleashing a powerful skeleton uncompromising in its rawness. Both ethereal and grand, the title track, ‘Jericho’, creates an atmosphere similar to the tense moments before a battle. This peels away to reveal a gritty underside, coloured with images of a dark subterranean dance. Thirdly, ‘Brah-Mos’ is an unmistakable darkside roller, smooth and ready for those who want to move.

London based producer, Need For Mirrors aka Joe Moses is a name that has rapidly positioned itself amongst the greats of modern Drum & Bass. His relentless output of high-quality and original material has secured releases on the scene’s most prestigious labels. In the last 2 years alone NFM has released on labels such as Full Cycle, Hospital Records and of course V Recordings & Liquid V just to name a few. 
 
Need For Mirrors returns to V for his politically charged 'Pagan EP' set for release in early December. Reflecting on the strange and turbulent times we're living through, NFM takes things back to the core with a 5 tracker packed full of Jungle & Roots influences, whilst still maintaining a cutting edge, techy feel. Drum heavy, but with enough sub to satisfy any sound system, ‘Pagans’ leads the way with its infectious vocals and live bass, but the quality here is such that all five cuts stand tall and this EP shows the depth and quality of production NFM has come to be known for. If you’ve been down and checked out NFM’s London residency at his own ‘Soul In Motion’ event you will have no doubt skanked out to more than one of the tracks on offer here.

As always, V Recordings comes with the goods and keeps the quality high. They have been at the peak of the scene from its inception, and with their 25th anniversary on the horizon for 2018 they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon!

Standing as one of the most resounding electronic music labels in history, Ram Records has finally hit its 25-year milestone. To celebrate their twenty fifth year, Ram will be rereleasing twenty five original remastered classics from their definitive back catalogue as well as seventeen remixes, including reworks from Chase & Status, Killbox, DC Breaks, Frankee, Total Science, Benny L, Kasra and Enei, Ant Miles and Shimon, Bladerunner, DJ Marky Calyx & Teebee, Sound in Noise and Metrik. All in, it’s Ram’s most ambitious project to date.

The 25th year of Ram’s history is looking to be its most memorable yet. Both musically and through their major city UK tour dates, Ram’s versatile roster is still being pushed to new borders. Quarter of a century on and the record label is as strong as ever.
