Crosstown Rebels sub-label Rebellion welcomes back Toronto-based DJ/producer Mustafa Ismaeel for his ‘Groove You’ EP, featuring collaborations with Dilby and Enamour.
Iraqi-born Canadian artist Mustafa Ismaeel has been a vital part of the Toronto underground scene and is now sharing his music and energy across the globe. Releasing on contemporary labels such as The Soundgarden, Steyoyoke and Manual, as well as Damian Lazarus’ Rebellion, his musical output aims to constantly redefine his musical boundaries, with groove and emotion as the key to his material. Returning to the label following his recent appearance at Get Lost during MMW, he serves up a trio of considered and cultured house records across his ‘Groove You’ EP, featuring a pair of classy first-time collaborations.

“With this release I tried to focus on the groove while conveying emotions in a subtle manner. I followed a more intuitive and practical approach with tracks that simply work on the dancefloor. Collaborating with Enamour, Dilby and the vocalist Shar has been a real treat as we had an effortless understanding of each other’s vision.” - Mustafa Ismaeel.

The EP opens with solo production and title cut ‘Groove You’, a seven-minute roller with gritty claps and percussion over rich bass designs. Add warm, swirling pads and a hypnotic lead synth next to the steamy vocals, and you have an emotionally intense cut.

Next comes the first collaboration with Dilby, a tastemaker with releases on labels like 8Bit, Saved and Bondage Music. Together they cook up ‘Twisted Mind’ featuring Shar, a deep house sound with supple drums and bass underneath emotive vocals that bring the soul to this heads-down groove. Closing the EP is ‘Nothingness’ alongside LA-based talent Enamour, whose dynamic and powerful sound has taken him to labels such as Last Night On Earth, Get Physical Music and Factory 93. Their collaboration is a brilliantly chunky mid-tempo house groove with sensuous sax motifs, lush chords and muttered vocals, bringing a sense of late-night intimacy.

Mustafa Ismaeel ‘Groove You’ EP drops via Rebellion on 16th June 2023.

PARADOX

Franky Wah makes his debut with a suitably epic original and teams up with El Maestro for an interesting collaboration project.

Very much a product of the modern age, where artists are in fact multitasking entrepreneurs, Franky has shot into the  music scene with savvy business practice and the musical skills to back it up. Setting up his own brand, SHÉN; a label, events company and clothing offshoot, has given him a base to get exposure and thus, release on a cross section of labels from seminal underground strongholds, Anjunabeat to Bedrock to LNOE to Major labels like EMI and Polydor.

His opener, a solo effort, has been collecting massive reactions from the clubs - as certified by the very own Hernan Cattaneo, eager supporter of the track. ‘Riptide’ does exactly that from the off. Groovy, understated but quietly deadly, once the vibe grabs hold, it’s almost impossible to resist. Developing over the first section, slowly at first, but then increasingly quickly as the tension builds, Franky drops a killer track that will pique everyone's interest.

For their collaboration, Franky and Hernan present the uptempo monster, Groovejet. Pulsating, energetic and just a little dark, this is everything you’d expect from the master at peak time with the whole club in the palm of his hand. This years Scorchio for sure!

A consistent and evolving force emerging in the dance community, GYS(TT) has made his definitive mark on the industry's dance floors. Playing alongside some of the greats, such as Anjunadeep's Simon Doty, AudioJack, LOSTBOYJAY, Carina Lawrence, Nour, and others, GYS has consistently established himself as a bona fide groove-infusing dancefloor curator. We are proud to present his debut solo EP on Luscious Vibrations. His three monstrous tracks, UNO, Walk Away, and Dusk to Dawn, are a harmonious treat for an explosive dancefloor experience. With riveting, enigmatic basslines and super delicate melodies, this project will surely project GYS even further than we anticipate.
