Nine releases under their belt, and still, ItaloJohnson keep up the invisibility act. Dance music's most inconspicuous production/DJ trio maintain their enigmatic persona, as they present ITJ10. After almost a yearlong absence, they are marking the anniversary of release no. 10 by switching up their white labels to black.

As was expected, their press release leaves a lot to the imagination, merely stating that the boys "are, in fact, the Ghostbusters." Needless to say, their tenth catalogue number is made up of two absolutely blinding constructions for the dancefloor. Following the typical ITJ rhetoric, the opening "ITJ10 A1" needs near-to-no explanation – flaunting some of the biggest club music sounds we've heard from the anonymous three-piece. Heady synth chords and an insatiable drum beat that kicks you right in the face. It's pretty impossible for this track not to possess you instantly. Who you gonna call?

Catch ITJ10 on April 18th.

Anonymous three-piece crew ItaloJohnson storm back with their first release since 2017 that further showcases the analogue-driven style that has garnered a cult-like following. Titled 'ITJ12', the EP features three diverse tracks, each with their own distinct flavor. Here Mixmag unveils the lead track '12A1' that features a rolling bass line, padded percussion and piercing synth lines. The track follows suite with ItaloJohnson's ethos of delivering "simple body soul music" aimed directly at the dancefloor.

'ITJ12' is set for release May 24.

After a brief period of studio lock-down at the start of 2019, Brame & Hamo are back and present their fifth EP ‘Pressure’ on their eponymous imprint, due out on the 24th of June.

Having recently appeared in the Mixmag Lab, and put out a highly-curated mix via Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel Radio late last year, the duo from Sligo have an ever-increasing tour schedule, which is taking their vibrant brand of music to dancefloors worldwide. They recently completed a sell out four-show tour in Australia, and have trips to the USA, Canada and Asia booked for later in 2019.

This EP is a contagiously energetic three tracker. Starting off with ‘Pressure’, an infectious drum pattern morphs into a driving and spacey dance floor weapon. ‘Transit’ is an intricate commute of driving synths, whilst ‘Dial Up’ is the guy’s take on breakbeat rave, taking inspiration from Josh Wink and Chemical Brothers.

“The start of 2019 has been a few months locked away in the studio juggling demos for various labels and making sure everything is just the way we wanted it. We have been putting ourselves under a lot of (self-inflicted) pressure to continue to deliver music of the standard of previous releases, and finally we got there. Each of the tunes took only a few hours and were all done in one take, using all the hardware in our studio during some intense jam sessions’.

The jumping single comes paired with two remixes from the Rekids co-founder himself, Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave). Ahead of the release, we've received Radio Slaves' rapturous and breaks-infused "revenge mix" of Chambray and Garnier's fantastic new tune.

DJ Duke Presents Funky Acid Breaks - Pt. 3

A No. 1

Simple body soul music since 2010
ITALOJOHNSON is comprised of three people. They make music that is intended to be played in nightclubs so that people may dance. The music is not complicated. It is direct and simple. In this simplicity, memories, influences and emotions are affectionately invested. It is hoped that these are then transmitted. It is hoped that these are then felt and carried further. Simple body soul music. That's all.
