Founded in ‘99 by label boss and dance music icon @john-digweed, Bedrock Records has firmly maintained its reputation as one of the most high-calibre electronic music houses in the world, channelling the authentic perspectives of both established and upcoming talents. Following an impressive start to the year with extended players from Franky Wah and Sasha Carassi, the imprint now welcomes rising Hungarian producer NorB and Toronto-based multi-talent juSt b to the roster. Marking their respective debuts for Bedrock, NorB and juSt b’s ‘Different Places’ EP is out now across all streaming platforms, including the Bedrock Bandcamp store: https://bedrockrecords.bandcamp.com/

------
juSt b 
The finest curators have an innate understanding & skill to endlessly entertain as well as strongly inform. Knowledgeable & highly adaptive - a risk-taker with a personal voice that asserts itself in all they create. From breaks to techno & everything in between, it is this which juSt b has come to be best noted for.

As an accomplished DJ, radio host, vocalist, producer, published writer, & promo label head, with no shortage of curveballs in her repertoire, she has shared decks with heavyweights like Martin Roth, Cubicolor, John Monkman, Sebastien Leger, Edu Imbernon, Miss Melera, Roy Rosenfeld, Jerome Isma-ae, BLANCAh, & Sasha & Digweed. Also host of a monthly show, Undercurrents, on DIFM, and manager of global community & channel Getting Deeper, she played three European & UK tours in 2019, including host & artist at the world renowned ADE. 

Having released her debut EP in Dec. ’20 on UK imprint Configurations of Self, Feb.4th sees juSt b pair up with a new Hungary-based producer, NorB, for a stunning debut on John Digweed’s iconic Bedrock Records, and has a string of exciting releases slated for the remainder of 2022. Without question - a promising year ahead. 

------
NorB 
With career roots in the hospitality industry as a personal chef & hotel manager, music was a strong force in Hungary-born Norbi Szakács’ life from the time he was a child. He grew up listening primarily to trance then progressive, melodic & deep house and now is also influenced by the UK’s breaks culture. He always had a keen interest in how to transform one’s thoughts and innermost feelings into a musical form for others to appreciate. 

This past year, as many of us sought out new life paths, NorB found the opportunity to explore music production for the first time, for which he discovered an immediate passion. In connecting with established Toronto-based artist & vocalist juSt b, of whom he’s been an avid fan & supporter, the two have come together for an exquisite collaboration in the form of a debut 3-track EP, featuring juSt b’s original vocals.

Next up, we welcome Simos Tagias to the label with the 'Mantis EP'. 

A prolific producer, Simos Tagias has released with everyone from FSOE and UV to Replug and Mango Alley. Based in northern Greece, he made his breakthrough with Lynx Records a decade ago, and has gone on to create an enviable back catalogue with support across the progressive scene from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Cid Inc.  and more. 

Opening with lead track, 'Mantis', we are quickly swept up in Simos' epic soundscape. Dirty bass and gunshot stabs playfully work against shakers and sidechained pads growing the tension over time. Midway, new synthlines add meat to the bones of this chunky groover before the main break cools things off a touch. 

'Daydreamer' begins apace with gated bass and eerie atmospheres. Dark and moody, the sound design creates powerful mental images as the tracks takes hold. Closing the EP, the tribal rhythms of 'Breath' feel extra funky. Synth washes and sparse percussion give the track acres of space to breathe(!) creating a light breezy vibe. Solid work from one of the scene's unsung heroes.

For legendary UK dance label Bedrock's 200th release, John Digweed & Nick Muir invite German DJ & producer, Jonathan Kaspar, to remix two of their tracks to mark this special occasion.

'Live Off The Grid' was originally released in 2014 as part of their 'Traveller’ album, a collaboration with anonymous sci-fi writer John Twelve Hawks. Jonathan Kaspar's remix increases the tempo of the track, and juxtaposes the deep mysterious spoken-word vocals with elegant, futuristic synth samples.

Jonathan Kaspar's second remix is of John & Nick's 2021 track 'Stand Still’ that was a stand out feature on the Quattro album. Jonathan Kaspar underpins the floating synths with a thumping beat, driving throughout the track and transforming 'Stand Still' into a deeper, darker dance track.


"I’m feeling super honored to had the chance to remix John and Nick for the 200th release of Bedrock. I was able to pick two tracks of their impressive back catalogue and went on both tracks in the opposite direction with my remix - Played both remixes a lot in my recent gigs and I am very happy they will now the see light for everyone! On to the next 200!" Jonathan Kaspar

As we close out a sensational summer for the When We Dip imprints, we are thrilled to welcome back one of our hometown's most invigorating artists - Montreal’s Sinca. Following her recent remix for Koelle, she's back on the label with a pair of original productions on the Another Way EP. With plaudits-a-plenty already on hand from an amazing single with Anjunadeep, Sinca has been rocking dance-floors around the globe all summer long. To polish off the season, XYZ is proud to present two deftly-crafted dance-floor weapons from Sinca.

On the A-side, Sinca summarizes her knack for effervescent club-leaning tunes that provide genuine warmth for worldwide dancers. Dede sets us in motion with playful vocal chops harking back to the golden days of groove. Electro-tinged chords harness a sound brimming with big room flavor, yet balanced sumptuously with deeply heady tones.

On the flip, Sinca connects with Montreal-based vocalist Toorak Green on an indie-house burner Another Way. A delightful hook snaps us into lock step, while Toorak's vocals allow the minds to wander; a bountiful B-side brimming with instant-classic appeal.

'As soon as we discovered Nicolas Petracca, one half of the respected EANP duo, is launching his solo project, we knew Mango Alley has to be the first label to present his inaugural release! So here's EANP pres. NICØ and his ALLEY199 "Life"!

The original is a kind of EANP trademark sound with a twist - dark and techy, yet melodic and emotional. Ruben Karapetyan turns the original idea into a deep and elegant progressive house with a smooth flow and an epic breakdown. Forty Cats comes up with a groovy and exquisite dancefloor piece that surely makes a highlight track in any club!'

the ambient-style intro of "Quetzal is calling (Main Title)" turned out to be so dense and atmospheric, I decided to strech it a bit and give it a life of it's own as "Part One" of the "Quetzal" trilogy.  Parts two and three will follow shortly.

Facundo Caldiero - Mama (Original Mix) [VARONA LABEL]

Founded originally as a boutique electronic music blog in 2012 in India, now crossing borders in Berlin, Getting Deeper has organically grown and consistently delivered authentic music with genres such as deep house, deep tech, minimal, IDM, downtempo, trip-hop and techno.

Lush vibes, melodic intricacies and sublime mindstates are places we constantly strive to reach through the music we publish. We also like to encourage escapism, philosophical meanderings and sometimes indulging in the dark side of things. In simple words, we like to get deep.
