Luca Lozano and DJ Fett Burger return with part two of the three part 'Hands of Doom' series. Following on from the success of the recent Sex Tags UFO release, Hands of Doom 2 continues the tradition of early breakbeat and proto-rave inspired club tracks. Three slices of rattling drums, low-end subs and bleeped out bleeps make for a cohesive and well informed EP and a welcome addition to the series. Keep those peepers peeled for the third and final part, a full album from the duo on Luca Lozano's GRAFITI TAPES series.

HW T FNSH  [OUT NOW ON DREAM RAW RECORDS]

The elusive and enigmatic Brazilian producer ‘CoastDream’ resurfaces this spring on X-Kalay with his third EP, and arguably best work to date.

CoastDream has garnered something of a cult following of late; his instantly recognisable brand of woozy 5am power house and DIY club tracks form a signature sound few can touch. We’re super excited to welcome him into the X-Kalay family. 

Title track ‘Soft Moon’ opens with those thundering CoastDream drums and a buzzing, infectious bassline before evolving into some seriously expansive blue sky house. Classic piano stabs, dreamy pads and woodwind-esque melodic interplay combine to carry us high into the South American sunshine.

A2 continues in a similar vein but leads us down a distinctly more tropical path. Bongos, shakers and that massive tom underpin the rhythm whilst we are serenaded on the breeze floating from a distant desert island, ‘Oh La La…”

On the flip, B1 takes us back to basics with a classic CoastDream club jam. More closely resembling the aesthetic of his earlier releases; ‘About You’ hits hard with punchy drums, that trademark kick, and a basement groove that just cannot be ignored.

Closing things out ‘La Esperanza’ launches a real curve ball; splintered breaks and growling bass paying a bone shattering homage to the darkest of 90's jungle >:)

Don’t take your eyes off this one!

Released 31st March 2017.

Title track from 'No Regrets'. Raw and jackin’ house packed full of rough percussion and ambient sensibilities, direct from the hazy streets of New York City.

Baltra - No Regrets

Aus based @NerangRecordings helmed by https://soundcloud.com/DjWhiprSnipr are making quite the habit of unearthing a gem and have appeared to have done it again, with self confessed bedroom producer @JakeWinks with his spanking new 2 track EP - 'Biterphobia'.

The A1 "Straight Mackin'" is as raw as anything (in a fucking good way). Flaunting thudding kicks, floaty keys and gritty vocals - this spicy jam is a necessary sonic condiment to accompany any summer shin dig. The whole EP is available for FREE after both Premiere's are up on line, so grab a copy when the link is available and play at max volume - Doris from next door wont even complain.. honest.

Cosmic Bridge kicks off 2018 with an energetic four-track EP full of fresh ideas. Proc Fiskal is the alias of Joe Powers, an Edinburgh native who has been active in the grime scene, securing plays from DJ’s like Spooky, Grandmixxer, Jack Dat and stations like Radar Radio, Mode FM and Rinse FM. Drawing inspiration from strains of UK dance music like Jungle, Grime and Garage and the US rhythmic innovation of Footwork he released and EP of future pushing Grime with Hyperdub in 2017, speeding grime to jungle tempos for fascinating results. These unique tracks caught the ears of Om Unit leading to the Hello Boss EP, on which Proc Fiskal further explores the sweet spot between dark garage, grime and ragga jungle.

The tracks on Hello Boss were produced with DJs in mind. They’re energetic, versatile, and above all highly contagious in the dance. “A Fragrance” imagines Potential Badboy hanging out in the studio with Osmosis. The result is a fresh combination of mid-’90s jungle and UK garage with tightly-edited breakbeats, snapping drums, and a dark bassline clashing against flutes, sirens, horns and vocal samples. “Hello Boss” was inspired by a stand-off scene in a Bollywood movie, drawing its main sample from it and a tension that plays out in the interaction between drums and bassline. This is peak time dancefloor action, a dark roller to shake out the demons. Can you dig it? “Who Can’t Hear” is the most direct jungle production on the EP and shows Proc Fiskal for the dutiful student he is, able to tame the undiluted power of classic jungle with a modern touch: resonant bassline, smooth breakbeats, floating percussion, uplifting pads and a flurry of samples for a pure blast of junglistic joy. “Window Cat” closes the EP with a grime touch as icy, angular melodies rub against a robust bassline and sharp claps.

Hello Boss highlights the ingenuity and energy that can be found in the cracks of 160 bpm dance music, a space with enough room for innovation. It’s a natural fit for Cosmic Bridge, a label that has made its name by celebrating the weirdness on the fringes of genres. As Om Unit puts it, “Proc Fiskal’s sound fits sonically as well as logically alongside some of the pioneers we have supported over the years.”

Hello Boss is released on 12” Vinyl & Digital on 23rd March 2018.
