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.

Petar Dundov - Iva Diva [Neumatik 011]
Stream: https://open.spotify.com/album/0TcCx69x5eX6DXde9WBORX
Buy: petardundov.bandcamp.com/album/iva-diva

Croatian techno luminary Petar Dundov returns with Iva Diva EP, a concise yet expansive double-header that distills his trademark melodic drive into two kinetic cuts. The release arrives via boutique imprint Neumatik, reaffirming Dundov’s reputation for weaving cerebral sound design into late-night dance-floor magic.

“Iva Diva” – A shimmering, arpeggiated ascent that unfurls over a granite-solid kick, inviting dancers to lose themselves in abstract thought.

“Dance of the Goldfinch” – Feather-light synth motifs flutter above propulsive percussion, mirroring the intricate mating dance of birds and translating it into pure motion.

Across both tracks, Dundov “invokes the abstract thoughts” that have long guided his work, using avian courtship rituals as an allegory for the push-and-pull of club energy.

Tronic has a 20-30 year long history with releasing melodic house and techno. While we opted for the more raw sound in the past few years, Christian wanted to go back to his roots and produce more emotive, groovy, and melodic house and techno again. Lamour Toujours is a progressive groover that has a disco-influenced bassline and adds an emotive chord progression in the break. We asked Argentinean legend Hernan Cattaneo to make a remix. As a long time supporter of Tronic we felt that he would be a great candidate for this remix. Hernan Cattaneo and Kevin Di Serna teamed up and delivered a stunning remix focusing on the melodic chord progression of the original! To finish this release, we asked Tokyo-based Frenchman Vantage to give his New Disco touch to the track. We are very proud of this release and hope you support it!
