ORDER/STREAM 'Mantra No. 9': https://bfan.link/fliptrix-mantra-no-9

“I make money but the currency is energy…”

Fliptrix returns with another sun worshipping anthem in the shape of ‘Son Light’, a song that offers up a soul searching insight into his view of the world, but moreover, the energies that define his everyday as a father and husband.

Lifted from his celebrated ‘Mantra No. 9’ LP, ‘Son Light’ is a glowing example of Fliptrix’s most recent creative chapter; teaming up with Chris Fader on production and Jazz T on the cuts to evoke a pure sense of summer.

Catch Fliptrix LIVE at the forthcoming High Focus Records ‘Open Air’ Summer Bash at Site 5 in London’s Docklands; a day party that promises to be drowned in sunlight from beginning-to-end.

Presenting the flip side to the recent Dead Players (Dabbla, Jam Baxter & GhostTown) single 'Cherry Turbo'.

Perfectly poised at 3 minutes and 33 seconds; GhostTown taking influence from early dancehall and Indian folk, drums and bass reminiscent of early Roc Marciano, as Dabbla & Baxter (in that order) unpack the universe.

“Four decades on the horizon, man I’m not ready…”

Verb T returns with a brand new celebration of his veteran status in the shape of ‘Four Oh!’ 

Filing next to previous classics ‘Where You Find Me’ and ‘Old And Grumpy’, Verb T stares down the shifting sands of time AND WINS! Funny, introspective, but also catchy AF (hold tight Vic Gimes on production); the track is as refreshing as it is honest.

‘Four Oh!’ Is OUT NOW.

What better way for Vitamin G to celebrate a midsummer concussion than ‘Big Spender’; a glittering ode to the moments spent together in the sun (and mud) during festival season.

Teaming up with prolific producer Illinformed, ’Big Spender’ is a classic boom bap offering that showcases Vitamin G on TOP FORM from start-to-finish.

As Vitamin G explains... “The song revolves around the notion of spending big to get inebriated, juxtaposed by the harsh reality of being largely broke.”

“Never self sabotage when you know your purpose…”

Single #3 on the Verb T comeback trail is his most revealing to date; Verbs focussing on the transitional times in his life, speaking on the challenges he has faced on a search for stability. 

Equal parts humorous observation and serious life affirmation (a signature blend) and set to a soothing guitar driven instrumental courtesy of Vic Grimes, ‘New View’ is lifted from the new album ‘The Tower Where The Phantom Lives’ dropping 27.10.23 on High Focus Records.

"What you talking about error bad disc?"

Alecs DeLarge returns with the second single from his debut solo LP in the shape of ‘Girl Joint’. A comedic (yet heartfelt) spin on the anthropomorphic rap love ballad à la Common’s ‘I Used To Love Her’, MF DOOM’s ‘The Mic’ / ‘Favourite Ladies’.

Not just a concept song for the heads, ‘Girl Joint’ couples as a dance floor smasher thanks to a neck snapping drum groove, infectious R&B riff and a healthy dose of real life relationship drama as the shimmering cherry on top.

'Alecs in Wonderland' is available to pre order on SUPER LIMITED 12" Black Vinyl, CD and Cassette: https://shop.high-focus.com/collections/alecs-delarge

All star remix of Four Oh! featuring comedic royalty Romesh Ranganathan and Doc Brown.
