Kosh joins Craigie Knowes for his label debut record ‘Back on Track’. Kosh delivers 4 tracks packed to the brim with Detroit heritage merged with his own original style and signature Casablanca take on the origins of house, techno and the space between. Title track ‘Back on Track’ is an ever-building acid-journey guaranteed to rock in the clubs.

‘Breaksit’ gives us a chance to breathe as we embark on a trip that melds the signature Kosh and Craigie Knowes sounds into a pure and emotive composition. ‘Ridge Racer’ returns us to our feet with bounce, rhythm and octave changes to elevate your next DJ-set. ‘Digital Dilemma’ takes us from North Africa across the Atlantic to the Motor City and reminds us of everything we love about club-focussed, Detroit inspired, techno.

It’s pure Kosh and it’s pure Craigie Knowes, enjoy!

Taken from Knower’s upcoming Vortex EP on Mindless Records, “Moves” hits us slow and deep, in a misty tribal mood the closest to how an ayahuasca trip would sound like. The track is joined by another skillful producer Laars, creating a blissful blend with Knower’s profound groove with his trancey coats. The track’s ever-evolving musical structure keeps the ear pleased, with jazzy bits of the lead overlapped with acid 303s, making this a very good trip.

Keep off the Traxx are speeding down the third rail of UK dance heritage – a love letter to the gritty, groove-heavy house of the 90s.  

Helmed by Baker Lou and Jubi Leigh, the label draws on early progressive house, raw-edged UK garage, and the music that once echoed through London’s underground.

Rough-n-ready and proudly off the rails, the imprint delivers analogue charm and a steady nod to the past, without getting stuck in it. Visually, the label rides the line of London’s iconic Underground – with design and attitude pulled straight from the platform.

Keep off the Traxx are travelling at 33rpm and running on time. Mind the gap – the conductors don’t plan on stopping.


KOT001 - Cue It. Mix It. Blended Vol.1

Opening the debut EP is ‘Slow Down’, a high-energy A1 packed with euphoric synths, catchy vocals, and an acid line that pays homage to the golden era of early progressive house. Next up, ‘Mind the Gap’ delivers an irresistible fusion of raw, gritty house and classic UK garage, complete with chopped vocals and synth hooks that stick in your head long after its over.

‘Brain Dance’ brings a bouncy groove and a fresh return to acid, weaving melodic progressions that keep the energy flowing. Closing out the record is ‘That Noise’, a contemporary psychedelic progressive journey, layered with lush strings and immersive textures.

Tracklist:

Slow Down, Mind the Gap, Brain Dance, That Noise

Iron Curtis has been quietly crafting house music for many years, so it's fitting he is the first man to drop a full-length on West Yorkshire's finest label, Hudd Traxx. He shows his full range here, and while there are concessions to the full-length format, such as an immersive ambient opener steeped in cosmic radiance, there are also plenty of effective club cuts high on personality. The minimal kinetics of 'Dial Me In' is a standout, while 'Tensione' is dubby and elastic house and 'Dance Inc' slides into soft and dusty bliss for intimate backrooms.

For his first EP, What I Need, Blanc Soleil delivers a personal and already very assertive vision of his sound identity. Composed in Brest, the project draws on his recent emotions and the energy of the UK clubs that have left their mark on him. The four tracks explore broken techno with jungle accents, where percussive textures intersect with melodic pads and dance sounds. Between raw energy and attention to detail, Blanc Soleil lays the foundations for a hybrid and expressive signature, somewhere between rave intensity and club emotion.The project is also revisited through three distinct remixes, each bringing a different state of mind: a UKG-infused version by the Australian producer Wax Thief, a high-energy closing banger signed by Noge, and a more electro-driven interpretation from J.Strongrock.
