Howitzer Records 04 welcomes Vancouver’s own AWood to the label with their single ‘Holding On’.
One of the best house and techno acts in the city, you can catch AWood at some of Vancouver’s premiere clubs and parties including Babes on Babes, Celebrities and Gorgomish to name a few. AWood’s talent is quickly becoming recognized on the national level as well, recently playing extended sets in Calgary and Toronto, and made their debut at the legendary Shambhala Music Festival in 2022. 
‘Holding On’ is a minimal tech house groover driven by layers of rolling percussion and spacey synths that support the track’s smooth and nostalgic vocal. AWood’s ‘Holding On’ is an evocative banger that feels like you’re driving off into the sunset after kissing your relationship goodbye.

After a stellar release on Saoirse's label trUst—which caught the attention of DJs like Ben UFO, rRoxymore and dBridge—Ryan Aitchison aka Mella Dee is back on the dials for another outing of quality tech ‘aus fodder.

Rug Cutters Vol. 1 kicks off a slew of upcoming dancefloor weapons from the Warehouse Music boss. Visually underlined by his own original artworks, the EP shows off Mella Dee’s signature flair for whipping up raw, no-nonsense ingredients into irresistibly infectious grooves.

Vol. 1 starts strong with ‘Cutting Snakes (Keep on Moving)’, a track that screams instant classic with its shuffling beat and fat, sassy synthline. A2 track ‘Bumps (You Say)’ dives deep into those bassbin vibrations—it’s big, rude, and dead set on shaking up even the swampiest of dancefloors. Together, these cuts are not messing around.

On the flip, ‘Cutters (They Don't Get It)’ plays with the more futuristic, percussive end of the techno continuum. Drum breaks slither over each other, while a minimal vocal and bass hook locks everything down. Finally, ‘Pay No Mind (Who Am I)’ pulls the EP back to euphoria. This one will have the club cruising to its cocktail of flirty chord stabs and soulful house vocals—you’ll never want to go home.

Luckily, it won’t be long before we get one more tune from Ryan Aitchison—with plenty on the horizon, ‘Rug Cutters Vol. 1’ is also a taste of what’s to come. Stay tuned!
