Dance music traditionalist Tom Carruthers joins Craigie Knowes. Tom’s commitment to the ruff n’ ready sound of dance music’s formative years is unshaken on the De-Facto EP. Bundled with the same synths, drum machines, samplers and FX used in the by-gone golden era of acid, breaks, bleep and hardcore scenes. Soul is found in disorder, not in a world that places false hope on perfectionism. Releases June 3, 2024

All trax written and produced by Tom Carruthers. Mastered by Marco @ Analogcut, Berlin. Distributed by One Eye Witness, Amsterdam. (P) & (C) 2024 Craigie Knowes, Perth (Scotland). CKNOWEP61.

Reborn

Two years ago, after Covid sent the industry into a tailspin I made the sad decision to stop pressing Holding Hands records to vinyl. This was gutting as the label had been putting records out from the first release and it had always felt like an integral part of the label’s identity.  

It sucked but I always hoped that in the future I would be able to feel confident in pressing records again and I am so happy to say that the time has finally come again!
Earth Trax popped into my inbox with some demos and I instantly knew there was something special here. The tracks are absolutely timeless and will do the business on any dancefloor from now until the end of time.

The A sides have more of loopy club quality that you could listen to all night. The sort of thing that you just lose yourself to when it comes on in the club. You aren’t sure exactly when it came on but you suddenly realise that you’ve been gurning with your eyes closed for some indeterminate amount of time. Basically, they’re very chewy loops (note to self: potential cereal idea).

The B sides have more of a…for lack of a better word, B side quality to them. They’re both broken and they make me want to move my body from side to side in a sort of jagged cool 80’s way. Ones to make you move and think at the same time.


HHANDS028 - Earth Trax - Amnesia EP (Clips)

Celebrating not just Ryan Elliott’s faith in a vital new generation of producers and DJs, but five years of his own meticulously curated Faith Beat imprint, ‘Have Faith’ is a bold new chapter for the Panorama Bar veteran. Before relocating to Berlin, Elliott cut his teeth spinning Detroit, so he pays it forward on this 34-track compilation, shining a dazzling spotlight on the local scenes and breaking new artists that promise to keep American dance music moving as it lurches towards a new era. When he was based in the US, Elliott realized how distant Europe felt for homegrown artists – not just philosophically, but physically. Two years ago, he set about excavating the US’s underground architecture, pooling contacts and tracks, and urging his wide network of friends to send over their best recommendations. The compilation coalesced organically, and pulls together a diverse canon of producers, offering them the global exposure they urgently need. Eighty percent of the tracks are from up-and-coming US-based artists from the Midwest and beyond, so with the 10th release on his label, Elliott lays down a glimpse of a possible future of underground house and techno that counters the scene’s contemporary Eurocentricity. This music was born in the US, and its evolution might still be in American hands.

PREMIERE: Sansibar - D.T.T.

The second EP from label bosses djfix & jek delivers seven dancefloor-ready tracks, fusing hazy percussion, twisted synthesis, and ethereal, granulated vocal chops into a deep, rolling journey through sounds made for an outdoor system. An homage to early West Coast breaks—desert style—reimagined through the Earth Dog sound.
On remix duties, we’ve tapped two favs: Human Space Machine & Blu:sh. HSM twists the source material into head-spinning hypnosis, while Bl:ush crafts a shadowy, driving, percussive trip built for the early morning heads.

After offering Polychrome a beautiful closing composition on its various artists compilation Reflection EP, Rotterdam live act, producer, and DJ @matadisk returns to the label with LFH-Proxy EP set for release on Friday 27.06

Featuring two original club tracks and their interpretations by producers @eversines and Jopie (@user-335177236) , this project further cements Julian Determann’s singular musical identity while opening it up to new dimensions and patterns.

Track list below 

A1. Life Force Harmonizer
A2. Proxy
B1. Life Force Harmonizer (Jopie Remix)
B2. Proxy (Eversines Ziggo Mix)

A1. Life Force Harmonizer (“LFH”) opens the dance by capturing the sweet nostalgia experienced during club morning hours. Mata Disk’s sound palette is here in full display, the energy carried by sharp drum design and a propulsive bassline is lifted by melodious pads offering the track its tenderness. On the B1, Rotterdam producer Jopie creatively re-imagined these feelings, stripping down and reshaping LFH onto a track flirting with breaks and IDM progressions.

With Proxy, Mata Disk dims the light slightly, with a drum workout track to keep the dance alive. The very progressive and low-end focused build-up paired with a tension-building synthesized lead offers the A2 track a smooth build-up. De Lichting member Eversines elegantly switches the sound narrative, transforming Proxy into a dark electro-leaning tech house track carrying the same tension. Adding emotion into the mix with an anthemic melodic lead, Eversines’ Proxy Ziggo Mix serves as a perfect closer.

Available for preorder via One Eye Witness and Bandcamp. Link in our bio.

Catalogue No: BPBL08
Title: Black Label Series 08
Artist: MXC (Maroki & Coralie)
Genre: Techno / Tech-House / 140

UK duo MXC aka Maroki and Coralie shift through the gears with 3 club tools navigating a 135-140 take on Banoffee’s Black Label Series. Drawing on rich textures through Tech-House and Post-Dubstep skeletons. Directly functional or experimental dancefloor tracks. "GREAT TUMBLER STEVEN" takes charge with a heady stripped down spin followed by a tough swinging ear worm in "FRAFTER". "PARRABOP" landing neatly those spaces in-between. Tight drum breaks served with the headroom just right.

After a few collaborations, Ignatius and DJ Bruce Lee return with a joint production: Horizon. A fast-paced, ravey breaky house track, accompanied by two remixes—one by DJ Bruce Lee on his own, and another by label regular and Vallecas stomper TR, who delivers a wild acid-infused version. The 12" also includes an old DJ Bruce Lee remix of Ignatius' Lowdown.

Virtual Cloud Dimension

Naty Seres & Bensen - Interplanetary Dust Clouds (Matrixxman Remix)

@reptant_the_lizard's debut release on Die Orakel is an n-dimensional array of five seriously electro flavoured composites on vinyl (and digital, that is). The Melbourne based producer starts off quirky, fast-paced and slightly acidic, skillfully swerving into the laid-back leftfield of mid-to-late 90s UK IDM. At either tempi, The New Adaptive Lacerta is a truly sublime and modern classic EP.
