Unrivaled Groove Vol. I is a limited vinyl and digital compilation featuring 8 tracks from 10 artists — 5 from the U.S. and 5 from the UK — who come together to show that the connection between the US & UK Garage scenes is only growing stronger. Curated during quarantine, the record is a gorgeous mix of classic and forward-thinking styles, ranging from vocal-heavy, 90s-laden 2-step to NUKG, Breaks/D'n'B, and Bassline. While there is yearning in every one of these tracks — for live music, for community, the club, and even a dash of normalcy — there’s also an incredible amount of hope for what's currently upon us: the return of the rave. Luckily for us at Maison Fauna, Berwick is happy to provide for this return with experimental Breaks track, "La Flamingo." Berwick's unique analog and modular style gives his music an almost improvisational quality and a unique sense of life. When asked about the track, Berwick said, it's a "hug your mates in the woods, glitter all over your face" kind of track, and we can't help but agree.

PREMIERE : Berwick - La Flamingo

'IT WAS ALWAYS THERE vol 2'

It Was Always There vol 2

Dan Only - Threshold

After turning heads with this debut EP for our own naivety sublabel, Hassan Abou Alam is back and more than ready to cement his rep as Cairo’s foremost breakbeat master. This Egyptian lover of all things choppy and rave-y cooks up another epic sonic assault on the ears and subwoofers, designing a crafty and detailed 5-tracker that will not only rattle but stun.

A focused but playful energy runs throughout the entirety of the record, initiating things with the fat beats and the bleep-y bassline of “It Spills”, building towards the X-files atmosphere of ‘Unkindled’ and carrying the vibe on to the B-side for three more cuts of subby, tranced-out alien funk. B-side tracks “Breathe” and “Khamassen” bring on a deeper blend of complex funk patterns, elastic bass and mysterious samples while still moving the dance in the most superlative of ways. Finally, bringing things to sweet culmination, the more rugged and raw beats of final track  “All Used Up” ride along expansive, wide-eyed melodies, resonant acid and a pinch of late 90s surfer-traveller optimism.

With VOI 029 we are presenting the UK-based Mercy System, also known as Adam Crawford. Growing up in a small town on the outskirts of Manchester, he brings a dark, swung, early dubstep influence to his beats. His productions, which have already found a first platform on the American record label Miracle Drugs, occupy a middle ground between various UK Bass genres, through which he creates a paranoid shuffle of styles.

With »Recognise« Crawford now lands his debut EP on Voitax, a personal project that represents his patiently accumulated skill set in sound design, as part of an excellently produced dystopian UK Bass four-tracker. This powerful package combines high-definition sample work with outstanding arrangements. With the right eye for voice shaping, crowned with beautifully placed drone delays, dense bass, and broken drum patterns, this EP also explores the realms of Dubstep nuanced with UK Garage, Grime, and Dancehall, while keeping its unique character. We are thrilled to hear more to come from this newbie among the UK Bass producers.

Tunlaw Rd in DC was named after Tunlaw Farm which was located in what is now Glover Park. According to local legend during the Civil War many walnut trees were cut in that area to make gunstocks. To make the name more exotic Walnut was reversed into Tunlaw.
