G TOWN RECORDS returns in style with a sophomore release from Brisbane’s finest - X CLUB. Following on from enthralling electro and techno EPs on Steel City Dance Discs and 1Ø Pills Mate respectively, the pair show their full deck of cards with ‘NOW OR NEVER’, a four track representation of driving top down in the pouring rain. 

Having risen up through the ranks of Brisbane’s colourful club scene, Ben and Jesse’s electric pairing has offered up some of electronic music’s freshest tracks in the past year; these four being picked straight from the root, pressed directly to wax and straight to your doorstep via Galway City. 

We kick off with ‘Concentrate’; an unrelenting rolling mesh of drums and tense vocals that culminate to X CLUB’s almost signature UK break sound that doesn’t skimp in intensity. Following on from that we’re met with one of the most in demand tracks of the past year following constant radio and club play, ‘Inna Trance’; an audio representation of a noughties donk and trance fan’s Las Vegas wedding gone wrong. 

We flip to the B side where the aptly titled ‘SPORTS THAT REQUIRE PETROL’ takes us back to the gym for a performance enhanced drum workout before drowning us in pads and letting us up for air as we approach the emotional crescendo that is the final track. ‘Elevation’ sees the listener don their best Ryan Gosling-esque driving gloves before embarking on a rain soaked journey to finish the job; it really is NOW OR NEVER. 

GTOWN002 stamps X CLUB’s place among the elites right now and certifies G TOWN RECORDS as a label not to be ignored going forward into a brave new world.

Wiley - One Step Further (Beyond Ü Edit) [HZRX]

London based British-Pakistani producer, Ahadadream, returns to More Time with a solo 4-track EP of percussive and bass-filled energy.

2021 was a defining year for Ahadadream. Having been voted in Mixmag’s Top 21 DJs of 2021, he also started a new monthly residency on NTS whilst launching a new South Asian-focussed festival, Dialled In (where he played a surprise b2b with Skrillex!). Alongside being featured in Vogue India, publishing an RA mix and selling out the first date of his Colour Factory residency, the More Time label head has also been consistently scouting and releasing records on the label, the latest of which is his own productions.

The EP, entitled Homecoming, coincides with Ahad going back to his birthplace of Pakistan, for the first time in over 10 years, to play gigs and give workshops on DJing & production to young people aspiring to gain a pathway into the industry.

Conversely the project embodies his love for UK club music genres like UK Funky, jungle and grime whilst also touching on how deeply influenced he is by South African sounds like GQOM and Amapiano with ‘Rainfall’ utlising intricate drum programming and featuring the vocals of More Time family member, Mxshi Mo, from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.

Ahadadream leans on his signature raw and playful percussive style, channelling the release of energy that post-lockdown clubbing brought forth. Having played memorable sets at We Out Here, Brainchild, Fabric, Mixmag’s The Lab and with a slew of dates lined up for 2022, the release of Homecoming encapsulates the rise of an in-demand producer.

DJ Europarking aka Dollkraut lands on UFO Inc. with his debut EP. The Dutchman has a penchant for spirited playful music…

‘Boompahpah’ gets things rolling with dense beats, a high-octane tempo and a choir-driven breakdown. ‘20inch Chrome’ is a madcap cut that uses a variety of hip hop-esque samples, sirens and a tribal chant. On the flip ‘Bitte Everyday’ utilises breakbeats and a mixture of rapping, chanting, and zany effects to enchant the listener. Finally ‘Like Trampolines’ features hefty beats alongside an incendiary riff that is sure to cause havoc on the dance floor.

Club Medicine™️ is not an EP or an Album.                                                    
                                                      
~ While searching for the wording to describe the project I came up with D.A.C - Digital Audio Collection.   
                        A large(ish) collection of tracks that embody a current mood or state of being.
                                              - I guess in a way that describes an album but I'm not ready for that conversation so this is not that.                                           

Club Medicine™️ is spurt of the moment. It is an unwavering reflection of self.
Please ask you physician if Club Medicine™️ is right for you.
