Club Yeke returns with our 3rd offering on the label - and we’re back bigga and badda than ever with 4 track EP Full Circle - celebrating the crucial elements of Dancehall and Jungle in modern Soundsystem and riddim culture.
For this one we’ve teamed up with London based producer Kouslin - a long time Yeke favourite and friend, with a genuine love for all corners of club music and their origins, and two absolute powerhouse MC’s: Riko Dan and Warrior Queen, with a remix from Jungle supremo Tim Reaper.
Jungle is one of our first loves, so it made total sense to get Tim Reaper on remix duties, a part of the newer generation of Jungle heads keeping the genre fresh and exciting through his electric productions and DJ sets. His twist on Full Circle is a high speed, super fun, maximum energy rendition that we can’t wait to hear on a club soundsystem.

Full Circle

PREMIERE: Kouslin - Full Circle (Tim Reaper Remix) [Club Yeke]

We've got your first listen of Defrostatica's forthcoming collab release by DnB dons Kiat and Digital. From Bristol to Singapore via Defrostatica's Leipzig HQ ‘Nightingale’ debuts April 16th. The Metalheadz alumni have a history of collaborating, including Kiat doing the artwork for Digital’s MetalHeadz  ‘In The Lurch’ EP, and we find them nursing their deepest creative state to date with this release. Kindred in their commitment to the craft and refusal to compromise, it's no surprise that Kiat and Digital's newest contribution, feels rooted in authenticity giving it a soulful and timeless quality every producer searches for.  Today we are excited to premiere Digital's jungle remix of Kiat's "More than One." Digital flips the ethereal vocals and alluring horns of "More Than One" with his signature bulldozer breaks and voluminous subs, real music with real soul, this whole release is a fitting salute from two totems of the DnB world.

Astrophonica is proud to present Gradients Vol. 2.

The second in the Gradients compilation album series and curated again by London producer and label head Fracture, Vol.2 celebrates Fracture's forward-thinking ethos, the label's expansive stylistic roots and the sheer brilliance of catching a vibe.

Vol.2 is another all-killer-no-filler experience this time featuring: Warp/Ninja/Rephlex/Mu releasing and electronic generation shaping Luke Vibert dropping acid at 165BPM, a dream come true reboot of Om Unit & Machinedrum's dope AF collaborative alias "Dream Continuum", DnB legend, (Full Cycle label head, Reprazent and Breakbeat Era member) DJ Die & Digital Soundboy Dismantle's double heavyweight "DieMantle" partnership, full-time LA Footworker and Teklife OG Taso, NYC Beatmaker & Ninja Tune & Planet Mu artist Falty DL. PLUS.... label mainstays and big time soundboys all; Parisienne dub wizard Moresounds, the Modern Junglist with the golden touch, Sully and a NXLVL-Powers-Combine-Triumvirate Sam Binga, Lewis James and Rider Shafique getting 'Everfresh'. Fracture himself contributes a longtime club weapon from him and long-time production partner Neptune and give us the first taste of his experimental 160 BPM Fast Techno aka Turbo Berghain (consider yourself on notice. You heard it here first!) Add in Hyperdub's freshest, Proc Fiskal, who continues his 'damn son' unique streak and Lit international "insta-sign" contributions from Canada's Groves, Spain's Iberian Juke label heads BSN Posse (Broken Lip & Stay Puft), LA's ONHELL and Portland's Sigrah and you might see what Charlie Fracture sees.. Vibes for miles. In our opinion this is some of the freshest most exciting music this year so hats off to all the vibe catchers and to Fracture for bottling some of their best.

We turn you over to that man Fracture to give you his personal insights

It really is my pleasure to present to you Astrophonica's second full length various artist compilation: Gradients Vol. 2. It carries on seamlessly from where Vol. 1 left off with a mix of label regulars, new names and some real head turners. It took some time to curate given the success of Vol. 1 and I'm very proud of it. The music reflects the label perfectly.

Thanks for reading, thanks for listening and thanks for supporting. 
Peace. Charlie Fracture.

Gradients Vol.2 is released by Astrophonica on 30th November 2018 on Triple Vinyl LP + Limited Edition Tshirts & Risograph print bundles. As with all previous Astrophonica releases, the compilation sports art and design from the incredible Utile Creative Studio.

Astrophonica welcomes veteran producer dgoHn to the family. Through releasing music over the past decade, dgoHn aka John Cunnane has acquired a cult following and gained DJ support from figure heads like Thom Yorke, Tom Ravenscroft and Aphex Twin. 
 
2009 saw Rephlex Records release his collaborative album ‘Some Shit Saaink’ with fellow drumcunt Macc. Sitting somewhere between Jungle, Drumfunk, Experimental Jazz and brutal sub bass, dgoHn’s music is intense in both mania and serenity. 
 
“dgoHn has long since been one of my favourite producers in the left-field jungle or ‘drumfunk’ world. He has a knack of applying brain melting beat science without ever interrupting the groove and rhythm of the track. It’s something that few people can do, and he seems to effortlessly. There’s also a certain sadness and melancholy to his chords and fleeting melodies, which creates a beautiful contrast to the frantic drum madness. Amongst all this, there is a lot of bass, real Jungle bass, that anchors but also adds the ‘sound system’ edge to the mix, resulting in something very unique.” - Fracture
 
‘Sporks’ takes the 160bpm half time tempo that has become synonymous with the label and throttles full speed into a driving bongo led rush of euphoric pads and deadly sub bass. Have you ever danced with a murderer?
 
‘Dolorous Dick’ead’ is an explosion of paradoxical emotions where hyperenergetic Jungle breaks and introverted chords meet to create an intense journey through a tape saturated landscape.
 
‘Acacia Road’ continues the modern 160bpm theme, but diverts into a trance like state with meditative pads and metronome-like poly rhythmic percussion as familiar breaks are elevated towards enlightenment. 
 
In ‘Lost and Found’, a wonderfully crusty break is slowly polished by wistful pads to wipe away the tears before the Amen edits are slowly uncovered to reveal a hidden shiny metallic underlay. Blinding.

dgoHn - Sporks (APHA020)

After his sold out "Fight dem Back/Nu Gun" 12" in 2017, Sun People returns with a banger of an EP on Berlin's Through These Eyes. We are happy to bring you the first listen of "Work" off the new 
"Stumble & Grow EP." With soulful groove, gliding keys  and funky bass stabs, Sun People shows why his unique flavor combination makes him one of the tastiest producers cooking up beats at 160. He skillfully combines the powerful rhythms of Footwork, the deepness of (old school) Jungle, with a spicey dash of Detroit.

A2. World Below
A3. Sparks
B1. Suede Suit
B2. The Undying
B3. A Stone Left Unturned


Danny Scrilla returns for 2020 with six tracks of varying flavours for Cosmic Bridge. One of the key and foundational artists on the label, his sound is widely appreciated from forest raves to tiny basements alike.

This is a record that showcases just how diverse a producer he is without creating a sense of pastiche or hedge-betting. A record that will engage people from the opener 'Onyx', a low-slung swaying throwback to the days of 2011/2012 when Cosmic Bridge was cracking heads in the beats world and influencing other producers to follow suit, to the finalé 'A Stone Left Unturned', a nostalgic gentle number or the 'beats to study and chill to' fans but with production levels far above the all-too-often throwaway 'lo-fi' tag. The main body of the record takes in The grinding 85bpm sci-fi stepper 'World Below', the fast-paced Juke-inspired club groove 'Sparks', The space disco poolside chugger 'Suede Suit', and sends us all the way left to a valium-drenched underworld with the meditative and true-to-form abstraction of 'The Undying', again reminiscent of the labels roots in forward-thinking genre-shattering production for the heads.

'Daybreak' is yet another solidification of Danny's ongoing desire to keep pushing with authenticity rather than playing to any scene or idea that isn't his own. We are very pleased and proud to present a full-colour six track Vinyl and digital release that reflects this.

PanicMan - Quasar

Mr Telephones pumps up the pace, jumping drastically from his last downtempo-oriented "Point Breaks / Beach Breaks" EP. This time closing in on the 150bpm mark, with the raw pump of "Blue-Tek", a funky oddball-roller hybridizing ghettotech, detroit soul, balearic and italo house. Flip wax for the trippy soundscapey ambient techno-trip "FV555", speeding through a hazy highway, with the forest on one side, and ocean on the other. Both sides neatly wrapped up with trippy reprise-versions. Pressed at 45 for max flex!

Malmø Traxx 002.  Dip Shim   Möllan City Breakers Ep  Preview

They floated softly upon the breeze, flowing through the forest in which wild dancers lived. These were the night time melodies, sounds which warmed the coldest hearts. He watched as people all around him listened intently to the music which echoed between the trees, looking upwards he could catch a glimpse of an occasional star which flickered and fluttered against a backdrop of thick dense black. This was a magical place and these were the sounds of the natural future. 

Alan Dixon is set to release a new EP on Love Attack and it certainly leaves us longing for the sort of warm, hedonistic nights described above. This one is destined for sun kissed stages and the close company of friends on the dance floor.

PREMIERE: Alan Dixon - Night Time Melodies [Love Attack]

Conceived in the literal underground of the INDEX:Records basement studio in Berlin, the enigmatic, new-coming “pop” group Downstairs People, is an unlikely collaborative project to be birthed from 2020 – the year of isolation. ‘Underground Pop’ is a collection of aural serotonin hits that touch the feel good receptors, genre hopping between synth-pop, house and neo-RnB. 

The group is conducted and glued together by INDEX:Record's own, Jorge Camacho, the maestro behind his alias, @vasesound. Camacho brings together a gauntlet of Berlin-based artists and INDEX: affiliates, dishing out something fresh after countless late night sessions, only to curate a serendipitously coherent record of left-field pop hits, that arrive just in time for summer.

‘Underground Pop’ by Downstairs People is out 16 April 2021 via single disk 12” LP vinyl, with full album artwork outer-sleeve and black inner-sleeve. A run of 250 copies are distributed worldwide by Rubadub and available to purchase on INDEX:Records' Bandcamp (where a limited amount are offered with a rare edition Downstairs People Zine, designed by @amos-turner).
