For the first reference of our new ‘Iberian Juke Free Series’ (IJF) we count on some usual suspects for the label. After delivering our sixth reference ‘Tell Me The Truth’ earlier this year, and following their recent release ‘Ice’ for the brisiths label Good Street Records, the duo from Valencia Rootless formed by Tony and Saci is back in business with ‘Hubo un lugar’, in collaboration with the also  Valencian Atari Hanzo.

Strongly influenced by the EP ‘Nuevas Bulerías’ from Ria Ekin (IJ004), Rootless and Atari Hanzo decided also to experiment with samples, melodies and rhythms taken from the flamenco sound. ‘Hubo un lugar’, composed of two original tracks, a vocal version alongside mc Ebano and two remixes by the Andalusian artists BSN Posse and Pablo Dread, the EP pretends to settle the mix of flamenco music and footwork under the name ‘flamenwork’. Vocal samples were taken from two mythical flamenco songs, created by two of flamenco’s masterminds, ‘Como el Agua’ by Camarón and ‘Hubo un Lugar’ by Diego El Cigala.

Para la primera referencia de nuestra nueva ‘Iberian Juke Free Series’ (IJF) contamos con unos sospechosos habituales del sello. Después de editar nuestra sexta referencia ‘Tell Me The Truth’ a principios de este año y tras su reciente lanzamiento ‘Ice’ por el sello británico Good Street Records, el dúo valenciano Rootless formado por Tony y Saci vuelven a la carga con ‘Hubo un lugar’, realizado en colaboración el también valenciano Atari Hanzo.

Fuertemente influenciados por el EP ‘Nuevas Bulerías’ de Ria Ekin (IJ004), Rootless y Atari Hanzo decidieron experimentar a su vez con samples, melodías y ritmos tomados del flamenco. Compuesto por dos temas originales, una versión vocal junto al mc Ebano (Organic Name) y dos remixes a cargo de los andaluces BSN Posse y Pablo Dread, el EP pretende asentar la mezcla de música flamenca y footwork bajo el nombre de ‘flamenwork’. Los samples vocales han sido tomados de dos canciones míticas, creadas por dos de las figuras más ilustres del género, como son ‘Como el Agua’ de Camarón y ‘Hubo un Lugar’ de Diego El Cigala.

The ninth reference of Iberian Juke’s label is signed by two of the closest members of the crew: Daniel Silva (https://soundcloud.com/seven7h-sense) and Gustavo Lizcano (https://soundcloud.com/aku-3), both Colombian producers based in Barcelona. 

The EP is composed of 4 cuts that show the diversity of their productions, with a sound that themselves define as general or ambiguous. The tracks ‘4AM’ and ‘Last of the year’ show their Soul and Blues influences, while in ‘We Got U’ and ‘Divided’ they bring us a closer aproach to even more dancefloor side. 
Its premises to create are clear and its tools well known by Footwork lovers: 808 drums, endless arpeggios and a minimalism that shows a clear influence of British artists like Ivy Lab, Om Unit or Dbridge. 

The name of the EP refers to friendship, sympathy and understanding each other without words, musically or emotionally. To the mutual and constant support that exists between comrades, which has led them to become inseparable both in their life and when it comes to creating music.

The tenth reference (and first for 2018) on Iberian Juke comes from the unknown (until now) producer Naocape, new signing for the label and a kind of DJ Paypal “iberican style”. The only data we have about him is that he was born in Valencia and he loves paella! Our first contact with Naocape, at that time under a different alias, was through the 2017 #warjuke, an extension to footwork from the famous grime producer’s war #wardub that took place in 2013. A few demos later, ‘Magical Sunshine’ started to took shape… 

‘Magical Sunshine’ is composed of five original tracks and was created between the summers of 2016 and 2017. The concept behind the EP is to put emphasis in creating a melodic footwork, with clear influences from jazz, bossa nova or soul but at the same time euphoric and danceable, somehow, looking to bring together different music generations and trying to find similarities and common grounds. 

‘Bankroll’, the track opening the EP, is maybe the most directed to the floor, with a 4x4 format that includes a vocal sample repeating all over the track and accompanied by a soft piano melody giving it a warm touch. The brazilian influence and aspect on the release is reflected in ‘Love’, where typical elements from this style like guitar and percussion are integrated into a footwork structure at 160bpms. In ‘Clouds’ and ‘Equinox’ the soul and jazzy speech of the EP is kept, with more repetitive vocals interwoven with saxophone samples and piano melodies. ‘Magical Sunshine’ closes the release in a masterful way, an ode to the warm summer nights and the ideal complement for a beautiful sunset with the best company. Five tracks to dance but also to enjoy in the peace of your sofa.

The twelfth Iberian Juke's EP 'Sol', comes from long time friend and collaborator Sideswipe on March 26th. 
  
Originally from the UK and actually based in Philadelphia, Stewart Roberts has been exploring the soulful side of 160 BPM music.  
With a high influence from his homeland, he's a vinyl enthusiast and has loads of Drum & Bass and Bass music gems. Along with his love for Black music, both influences had shaped his approach when making music, finding in Footwork and Juke a comfortable way to express himself.  
  
The EP is composed by 4 songs with a total predominance of women vocals. Sampling classics from RnB and Soul music like Deborah Cox's 'It's Over Now' or Gladys Knight's 'If I Was Your Woman', Sideswipe has made 4 cuts with an ideal style both to encourage the morning on the way to work, and to incite the most melancholic on the dance floor. 
  
As a founding member of 'Forbidden Trax' label and originator of the 'OneSixty Philly' parties, he has produced a slew of remixes and edits of artists like Nphonix & Dope DOD, Alicia Keys or Kenny Ken & DRS. 
He also released three EPs, most recently on UK label Modern Ruin, followed by the collaborative album “With a Little Help From My Friends” on Iberian Juke in April 2017.

BSN Posse - Glory Days

Iberian Juke is extremely proud to present ‘Take Me Back To The South’, sophomore album by label founders BSN Posse and our first ever vinyl release. After their debut LP ‘Forever’ for British label Slime Recordings in 2015, the duo from Málaga has been on quite a strong form with a  handful of powerful releases including several EPs for Iberian Juke, Modern Ruin, Below Music and Breaking Bass; the b-sides, bootlegs and remixes project ‘Summer Madness Series’, and incursions for label imprints Sequel One, Hyperboloid or Vandal Ltd.

With this album BSN Posse want to reflect their love, respect and passion for the footwork culture in general and for the city of Chicago in particular, with its guetto suburbs being the origin and starting point of the juke and footwork movement. ‘Take Me Back To The South’ combines masterfully in eight tracks elements of jungle, drum & bass, soul and funk with the classic juke and footwork take at 160bpms. The album has a very special bonus track (digital only) which contains a vocal sample from DJ Rashad during the lecture he and DJ Spinn gave at the RMBA number 14 which took place at the ‘Matadero’ in Madrid in 2011.

This album is a sincere ‘Thank You’ from the duo to all the humble artists that work extremely hard to put footwork into the international electronic music scene. Thanks to this culture we have travelled to incredible places and meet new people with the only aim of sharing our passion for the 160bpms.

‘Take Me Back To The South’ will be available in pre-order on Tuesday 24th April at the Iberian Juke Bandcamp platform (https://iberianjuke.bandcamp.com), and will be released on 6th June in physical (12”) and digital formats, including a limited edition T-shirt design and a free print in 30x30cm signed and hand-numbered by the artists.

We are really happy to share this banger with y'all FAM :) 

https://soundcloud.com/dub-beans - sound producer from Rostov-on-Don, Russia and a new name in footwork scene. Started from Tropical Bass in 2014, later in 2017 he found his passion in Footwork and Jungle music after joining local crew “Lighta! Sessions”, which popularize bass music in their city by making loud events with massive sound systems. Previously he released his first EP on Good Street Records, and will sign a forth. release on @iberianjuke this year

Dub Beans - Dreaming

“QL2 is Faster than You” are 6 tracks of ener-getic juke, deep bass, rhythm cutted samples and celluloid atmospheres, that penetrates and rumbles in the rib cage. Three first experi- mental songs, and three final juke bangers: “fast is better than slow” is said in a song, this moto is followed by the kick on every track in the album. "Everything is About Me" we will find the classic sound of padded Rhodes, digital toms, mysterious and enveloping sam- pled vocals. "Heavee Floor" is experimenta- tion, inverted noise textures. "Slow Tachyon" is a synthesized footwork exercise, on board a synth lead without brake, that mourns due to a soft glide and an acid resonance that increa- ses until ending in a rave, Braqueberry style. 
"Theorema of Acceleration" as an interlude, we enter the acceleration lane of the Nascar speedway, smoky car skids and subwoofers, hectic percussions on the asphalt. "Take Me Hiiigher" transports us to the classic Iberian juke sound of BSN Pose, directly from record store, still dust in the record cookie, overactive warmth. The dessert: "Foot Foot Foot Foot Head" similar production style of juke geniuses such as Traxxman, a peculiar collage of cine- matic semblance speckled by a cowbell, all this led by a rhythm with a strong influence from the capital of the state of Illinois. An excellent job of the Spanish producer QL2 "Qleeph” for the reference number 14 of the label that is building the juke scene in Spain.
