Love Jorja (Jersey Club Mix)

Pulling further Bristol-based talent into the NHS gravitational pull we have Portway with his contribution ‘Conduit’; two original productions that cover disparate energies which coincide emotionally and sonically As playful, 3D-printed pieces designed to induce warmth and joy into an otherwise often dark, ominous space. Coupled with each original are stellar remix works from Tacit Gleam on an expedition into the system, along with Nostro mainstay Dayzero.

Portway’s offerings carry with them a more minimal sense of pace and design, moving perceptibly into an acutely functional style that match each other across opposite zones of the dancefloor. Lights flare past
your vision as your streamlined craft pushes its way through the wormhole. You’re smiling the whole time. Then all at once, warmth turns to cold – day turns to night. Concluding, we plummet to the rocky surface of the planet to explore the alien beneath the surface.

Inuza & UnoTurbo - Kabuki Cocktail [OBL/QUE]

Is anyone in France keyed into the sound of UK funky as sharply as Kaval? Sneaker sets out a strong case with this four-tracker of cool and deadly shufflers which take that insistent groove and give it a different lick.

Kaval has got plenty going on in Toulouse, where he’s riding the online airwaves with the Egregore Collective and got his name all over the Riddim Supplies series 12”s. Those with their sticky fingers on all the best bits of wax the past few years might have stumbled across those records in the racks. Elsewhere, he’s also locked in with the Ruff Club crew who are bringing the DIY free party vibe to Toulouse under railway lines, in abandoned buildings and anywhere they can sneak a genny, a system, some lights and a vibe. All this is to say Kaval is the real deal, doing things the proper way, and it shows in his tunes.

The cuts on this record are absolutely built for the dance, functional like a DJ record should be but not at the expense of the flair. ‘Combo II’ has fun slipping snatches of MCs around utopian synth licks, while ‘Pistolaser’ is spilling over with crafty micro edits and snappy samples that bring the limber groove to life. The crooked beat and rounded square wave bass is a given, and Kaval wields the rhythm section with poise, but it’s the playful energy he brings to the top end which really lifts his gear. It’s no wonder his tracks have been bumped by the likes of Nick Léon, perfectly bridging the gap from funky into the deft Latin-tinged zones explored by the Miami heavyweight.

It’s records like this that prove exploration of UK funky, like so many club genres, has so much more to give to the dance.

Kaval - Enchanter [SNKR055]

Hood Joplin's "This, That, and the Third" captures the essence of the studio as a battleground, where collaboration, improvisation, and raw intensity coalesce into a frenetic club experience. The album bursts with energy, traversing gritty techno, futuristic juke, and ambient soundscapes, each track a bold declaration of her genre-bending artistry.

"Come Out," a triple collaboration with Text Chunk and Sven K, emerges as one of the album's most compelling moments. Created during an intense, psychedelic winter studio session, the track captures the chaotic synergy of its creators. Sampling a popular Miami-duo's vocals, "Come Out" intertwines frenetic juke rhythms with an ecstatic, unhinged groove, pulling listeners into a locked-in, immersive experience that embodies the album's collaborative spirit.

This, That, & the Third

Come Out (w/ Sven K, Text Chunk)

Noannaos ("nooneknows") is a collective and label that aims to put its foot into the scene with forward thinking music and new concepts for events. Its sound is progressive, through a fusion of experimental electronic music, ethnic influences and hip-hop with a continuous search for new sounds, eager to cross different genres. We understand the healing effects of art and creativity and we hope to bring concepts that can help people engage with the creative process in a more conscious way, pushing people to participate in events that encourage collective self-expression. The common thread in everything we do is innovation. We want to push the boundaries of sound and the way people create, relate and engage with art. Create events with immersive experiences, combine different disciplines, music/visual/dance... Essentially, we want to be able to be a platform and a catalyst for creativity.
