The city was tired – it had been standing for too long. It was only a matter of time before the wheels came off and the industry which once was here retreated into the nothingness of empty warehouses and abandoned complexes. This was not how it had been supposed to end…

As the clouds passed over the sprawling metropolis, it were as if they too were leaving this place one by one. They came and went, much in the same way as the investment had done. All that was left here now were good people, kind spirits and the remainder of a once great empire which had stood tall and proud, built upon its machines.

Mark Hand & Neil Iceton channel influences from Detroit on this brilliant new EP for Innate. These tracks could have been recorded in the Motor City way back for all we know. Beautiful, wild, sprawling melodies are paired with fast paced drums and percussion which is built for dancing. This one comes highly recommended with a gold seal of approval.

PREMIERE: Mark Hand & Neil Iceton - Rigil [Innate]

The past couple of years have provided an ideal breeding ground for periods of reflection. Of rediscovery. And for the reignition of dwindling flames. Perhaps this is why the meeting of Tom Churchill and 2Sox is the perfect match at the perfect time. A collision of minds stoking a fire that has sizzled away into a 12” slab of choice cuts. Introspective and deep, yet not forgetting what a dancefloor wants.

Tom started making music in the mid-90s, inspired by the house and techno records he was buying as a teenager growing up in Cardiff. Co-founder of cult 90’s label, Headspace Recordings and sister label Emoticon; Tom and partner Raeph Powell were responsible for some faultless releases in the 00’s. More recently, Tom has been one half of The Nuclear Family; a production, label and events project launched with Laurence Hughes in 2013. Much of what Tom has put his hand to over the years has been hot in demand. Incredibly, this is his first physical, solo release under his real name since 2002. Despite the 20 year gap, Tom’s enthuse for all things deep and electronic has arguably never been stronger.

“These tracks have been heavily inspired by two things- reconnecting with my surroundings and rediscovering my record collection - both of which have been made possible by the events over the past couple of years.” Tom says. “As well as spending more time outdoors around my home on the west coast of Scotland, I recorded a lot of DJ mixes and radio shows during the first lockdown, which meant I spent a lot of time digging through older records. This reignited some creative energy that had been lying dormant for a while.

Before 2020 I’d been sporadically using a rented studio space to make music, but in that Spring I put together a basic, compact setup so I could work at home. My influences are pretty clear with these tracks - I’ve drawn on the palette of classic deep house, 90s techno and electro throughout - but while there are some retro elements and familiar sounds, I’ve tried to put my own twist on things. Being surrounded by nature and working exclusively on headphones has made for a more intimate sound, and these tracks are the most personal I’ve ever done.”

PREMIERE: Samuele De Santis - Muja [HOUSEWAX]

The handsome “Manzo Edit” calf jumps the fence and lands at the records stores with four club-ready juicy cuts. From the peak-time belter to the laid-back groover, there is something for every taste.
“Brazil” is a dark and dreamy synth-pop track, perfect for elevating any set to the next emotional level. “Dial 166” pays tribute to the origins of breaking culture with a slapping drum-centric flip. “Ray Sings To The Hop” is a slow chugger blending a fist-class groove with a rewarding acid bassline. Finally, “Jupiter Love” closes the record with a hard-hitting disco house re-edit guaranteed to bring all the kids to the dancefloor.

Premiere | Bobo - Nowhere (ERB012)

Introducing STEINGOLD, the LA-based electronic music producer who honed his skills in the legendary Detroit Techno and Hip Hop scenes of the 90s and 2000s.

Having partnered with none other than Mike D (Beastie Boys) and toured the world DJing at major festivals, STEINGOLD is now ready to unleash his highly anticipated solo project, the ELEVATE EP.

With a track record of successful collaborative releases on labels like Stones Throw, Visionquest, and House of EFunk, the ELEVATE EP marks a significant milestone for STEINGOLD, as it showcases his skills as a solo artist. The EP features an all-star lineup of collaborators, including rising star Byron The Aquarius, and legendary Chicago House producer Mike Dunn, who both lend their expert touch to remix the title track, "ELEVATE."

But that's just the beginning. "THEY LIVE" is a moody electro tune that features Elton John's touring keyboard player, Kim Bullard, and Charlie Wilson's (Gap Band) trumpet player Brandyn Phillips. STEINGOLD samples his neighbors cheering on essential workers during COVID lockdowns, adding a powerful and emotional dimension to the track.

The ELEVATE EP is a heartfelt journey through STEINGOLD's Detroit roots and influences in electronic music and rap. The title track, "ELEVATE," was created as a modern Hip House track, with STEINGOLD and Nate Husser (+1 Records) having a conversation about Booty music before jumping into the booth, and recorded before the current trend of Rap/R&B and House.

"HBF" is a slapping house jam that pays homage to Kevin Saunderson's "Inner City". All tracks on the EP were started during the COVID lockdown and finished at Owl Foot Ranch Studios in Tarzana, CA and features additional production by Jean-Michel LaPointe.

In short, the ELEVATE EP is a must-listen for fans of electronic music and rap alike. With its impressive lineup of collaborators, powerful emotional undertones, and expertly crafted beats, it's sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners.

‘An Apparition’ introduces the hazy feeling of AutoClub’s ‘Apparition’ EP with a thundering kick, dubbed-out chords, and a mysterious vocal sample topped off with a funky 303 interlude. The A2 track, ‘CoupCoup’, then builds late-night suspense with looming strings and chords driven by deep, groove-soaked percussion. 

‘Molecular’ kicks off the B side with eerie vocal samples and gorgeous, otherworldly synth work, held together with a heavy broken beat and a morphing acid line. This is before ‘It’s You’ summarises the EP’s concept with a mesmerising exploration through propulsive percussion, deep bass and immersive, evolving chords. Lastly, ‘Delos Infidelity’ joins the release as a digital bonus with smooth, dreamlike melodies and detailed, interlaid grooves. 

Mike McClure and Craig Lambert form AutoClub. Craig, known as Midnight Music Club, and McClure, going by the alias of Autokinetic, join forces to create modern music rooted in old-school sound through live performance, blending futuristic electronic music with refreshing human qualities. They now land on Kajunga Records, a label with a discography spanning the left-field recordings of artists such as Lonefront, Heckadecimal, Ryote, and Lambert’s Midnight Music Club.
