A piece originally written for Brisbane Artist Martina Clarke's exhibition - 'Resting, Places' - Held on April 1st, 2022.

Made up of field recordings - some taken on Bundjalung Country - some by others, and instrumental sections performed/recorded by me at my home studio in the weeks leading up to the exhibition.

For relaxation, meditation, immersion, turning your room into a rainforest.

Dublin producer DJ Mudak 2000 (@djmudak2000) is back on the infamous Braindance for their third release.

Opening things off we have Dubaton, a melancholic yet driving track made up of swirling dubbed-out drums and lush pads which are glued together by a deep hitting sub. This one reaches a beautiful motivating point and is definitely one to seek out on a late night walk home. 

Inertia is a very bright track with Beltran-esque plucks that float over airy chords. These elements accompanied by some expertly filtered subs and a heavy kick pattern drag you back from the sky and remind you that this track can fill the floor just as well as it can accompany you in a daydream. 

Metallic follows in a similar ilk, this time the name of the song references the commanding percussive element of the song which loops  while all the elements around it drift in and out in almost a wave-like manner. 

Now and Then is an amazing yet not too jarring change of pace. Electro arps, footwork jungle breaks and delayed chords make for an incredible amalgamation which erupts into a “tops off” drop of breakbeat euphoria.

Slow Dance is a peak time, half time, monster. This one is made for that transformative moment on a dancefloor when it evolves from coordinated dancing into an all out mosh pit. This track definitely highlights Mudak's prowess as a producer, being able to cover all realms of modern 160 and up in an effortless fashion. 

The final track Wack is far from its namesake. Another dancefloor destroyer, Wack is a weighty, punchy track which will leave you battered and bruised. This track also features an incredible switch up from half time into a more footwork rhythm which will twist crowds minds like a wet rag. 

End to End is available to purchase via the Braindance Bandcamp August 4th, 2023.

Of all the mixes I've ever made, my last Bar Part Time Mix is easily the one I come back to the most. So when I was given the chance to join the prestigious "BPT Two Timers Club" I wanted to do something cool. For this mix the original goal was to keep the same energy as the last one but in that process I think I created something entirely new. No sophomore jinx here, just a chill mix of aggressive sound bath jams to combat the misery of the coming holidays. - @enterthelloyd

Ahead of the first night of her SHERELLELAND UK and EU tour, electronic producer and DJ SHERELLE drops her new single, ‘HENRY’S REVENGE’, out now via Hooversound Recordings.

Launched in March 2020, SHERELLE and NAINA’s Hooversound imprint has become one of the most important platforms within the global dance music community. They have released stand-out records from Special Request & Tim Reaper as well as working with artists such as Denham Audio, Lone and Om unit. 

Her first release in nearly two years, ‘HENRY’S REVENGE’ sees SHERELLE return with a refreshed and revived energy after a challenging 2023. In August last year, only a day ahead of her debut sets at Lowlands & Pukkelpop the following day, she was a victim of theft on a train from Brussels to Amsterdam - not only losing her entire music collection of many years, but also her debut album-in-progress.

SHERELLE explains: “Last year I was working on an album and essentially lost all my music through being mugged on a train. I didn’t pick up my laptop or go anywhere near my computer to make music for a long time because I wasn't in the headspace to do so. By the time I was able to this year, I felt so relieved making it. It felt like a fresh start.”

Despite the hardships of last year, SHERELLE was set on making the best out of the setbacks.  She expands, “‘HENRY’S REVENGE’ feels like how I felt in August and September, there’s a lot of frustration and a lot of anger. Being able to channel that energy into songwriting and making it as explosive as this tune is, has been a really beautiful thing. I’m so happy and proud of myself to be able to get to a point where we are making music again, especially music I really enjoy, that reflects me and my sound.”

SHERELLE - HENRY'S REVENGE

Bogdan Ra is based in the musical hotbed of Lisbon and his excellent What Is A DJ? EP on Craft Music Records takes its inspiration from the late 80s acid house and Italo, displaying a real mix of vintage charm and contemporary relevance that will strike all the right notes on the dancefloor. From the snappy title cut to the electro rhythms of 'Arroios' via the funky disco rhythms of 'Tonic Glue' and feel good factor of closer 'That's All', this is quality production that will more than stand the test of time.
