Busta Rhymes - It's All Good

S&T Podcast 13 | Anthony Collins 14.09

With a preference for the minimalist funk that's typical of labels like Accelerate, Phono and Mosaic, Jan Kreuger is a master of creating brain meltingly frenetic journies - working the grooves in his own accomplished and off kilter way. He's been DJing for 20 years now so has the benefit of experience as well as the knowledge – though you can qualify his taste as a selector by delving through the back catalogue of the Hello?Repeat label he co-runs with Daze Maxim out in Berlin. 

Jan’s no stranger to our dancefloors and we're fully aware of the storm he is set to cook up come Saturday night when he joins east London's Toi Toi collective up in Room Three but just in case you needed educating in the esteemed selector's capabilities - and also because a mix from Kreuger is always a pleasurable listening exercise - we asked him to record an exclusive mix for us to present to you...

Depresson Sleeping

Deejay Astral, the artist formerly known as Palace, is making moves to establish his new persona, and his new EP on W&O Street Tracks (out Dec. 7) should more than see to that. In the loosest possible sense, the three tracks that comprise Astral's self-titled three-tracker could be classified as house music. But it's so much more than that. None of the tracks on the EP stick to a rigid format, constantly toying with house music's innumerable tropes. "Phantasy", in particular, takes a deep house melody and distorts it to give it a crunchy analogue feeling not often heard in house music. Add to that the unsettling, tortured vocal refrain that drips with anguish and you've got a piece of house music that won't be forgotten in a hurry. This is one hell of an opening gambit and one we can't wait to see him top.


Premiere: Deejay Astral - Phantasy

After a bit of a production hiatus, label bosses, Frank&Tony return to Scissor and Thread with their strongest productions to date with Odes. Representative of their passion for vinyl collecting, the ep is the most dancefloor friendly to date. Leading the charge on A1, Procession takes no time demonstrating the duos keen ability to craft undeniable dancefloor vibes, with a hypnotic percussive groove sure to turn heads. The title track Odes, epitomizes the F&T sound with an early morning nostalgia and a nod to Detroit. B1, This Time, sees a collaboration with label mate and overall luminary, Darand Land, combining the dancefloor drive of the duos sound with the intricate melodies synonymous with Land's inimitable sound. Closing off the ep, Surface Prelude, sees a raw, but deep warehouse atmosphere reminiscent of early 90s house, but with an indelible Frank&Tony touch.
