Love Is A Glitch  [Permanent Vacation]

LENG SHOP - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fifteen-years-of-leng-records

When Leng Records founders Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy and Simon Purnell marked the imprint’s 10th birthday, they did so via a celebratory compilation that mixed classic catalogue cuts, remixes and exclusives. Five years on, and with the label’s 15th birthday upon us, they’ve decided to look to the future via a compilation made up entirely of fresh productions from Leng’s roster of current and new artists.

Presented on limited-edition gatefold double vinyl with a bonus 10” single, the collection offers an updated showcase of Leng’s much-loved trademark sound, a distinctive fusion of mid-tempo sleazy-disco, Balearica and chugging house interspersed with elements of electronic psychedelia and synth-powered space disco.

Fittingly for a compilation that wholeheartedly looks to the future, you’ll find first contributions from a handful of label newcomers. Fast-rising duo Flying Mojito Bros give their spin on ‘Smoke Signals’ by label debutants Joe Harvey-Whyte and Bobby Lee, turning in a heady and inspired revision that sits somewhere between dusk-ready cosmic disco and flash-fried desert blues. There’s also an appearance from Swedish producer Bo Wosticz with the dreamy and ultra-deep nu-jazz of ‘Bs As’.

Naturally, you’ll also find plenty of heat from those who have already proved their mettle through prior releases on Leng. Danish duo Liminal, who made their debut earlier this year with the much-played ‘Keep Coming Back To Me’, open proceedings with the tactile, slow-disco flex of ‘Tzatziki Bay’ where sweet synth melodies and a heady electric piano riff ride a warming groove.

Roberto Intrallazzi and Dario Piana from Italy’s original Afro-cosmic movement return with ‘Plutos’, a typically deep dubbed-out cosmic chugger. Then there’s Rose Robinson AKA Tigerbalm, whose ‘Mexicana’ featuring singer Joi N’Juno is presented across the package in two different forms. Pete Herbert, who contributed to some of the earliest Leng releases, drops a driving dub disco take on the main compilation, while Robinson’s original mix – a more organic, percussive and horn-heavy affair blessed with plenty of hallucinatory intent – opens the bonus 10”.

There’s a welcome return to Leng for the brilliant Payfone, whose ‘Dime Algo’ is a typically classy, analogue-rich affair in which attractive Rhodes riffs, atmospheric female vocals and pitched-down house pianos rise above shuffling drum machine beats and a slow-motion bassline. Long-serving label contributor Lex (Athens) delivers the loose-limbed nu-disco breeze of ‘Stolen Dance’, while the imprint’s San Francisco connection ¬– the ever-brilliant 40 Thieves collective – drop the dubbed-out Bay Area brilliance of ‘Such A Great Trip’.

Then there are the contributions of the label’s most storied artist, Andrew Meecham AKA Emperor Machine with ‘Eumig’, a deliciously slow, synth-rich chugger full of colourful chords, bubbly electronic melodies and jaunty electronic bass. Then, to round off the bonus 10” single, Meecham joins forces with Paul Murphy (as Mudd) on ‘Road To Nikko’, an extended, Japanese musical culture-influenced slab of pitched-down alien-funk packed to the rafters with squelchy synth sounds, effects-laden percussion, chiming melodies and rubbery bass guitar.

Tigerbalm - Mexicana feat. Joi N’Juno (Pete Herbert Remix)

Raffaele Arcella, known under the moniker Whodamanny, is a hyper-prolific producer and remixer who has been active for many years within the independent underground electronic scene and beyond. Closely associated with the Neapolitan label Periodica Records, he has released and co-produced numerous projects, and since 2023 he has been curating his own imprint, Biloba, conceived as a platform to carry forward the legacy of the Latin Italo-Disco trend that marked many Italian productions from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Onda Biloba stands as a kind of album–compilation, bringing together the results of Arcella’s ongoing exploration in recent years — both in stylistic development and studio experimentation. The record offers a diverse and vibrant selection, shifting between potential “hit-not-hit” dancefloor bangers and more laid-back, downbeat digressions for blue-hour moments.

White Peach brings together French producer Rad&Co and London rapper Dredda for a high-octane fusion of rap and house energy. Built on pounding drums, groovy synths, and sharp UK flow, the track bridges underground club culture and street swagger. With its infectious bounce and sun-soaked charisma, White Peach feels like a good time in full motion, a cross-channel anthem made for late-night sets, fast rides, and dance floors that never cool down.

AZUREA - Midnight Safari [Razor-N-Tape]

Mike Misiu - Hold Your Body [Razor-N-Tape]

Latin Grammy nominee Jimena Angel returns to Yuksek’s Partyfine with colourful new album of global grooves, Aguacero. Cumbia, Latin electronica and pop hooks characterize this love-fueled and sunny sound.
Jimena is a singer, producer, guitarist and DJ from Bogotá who has already put out three albums, several singles and picked up a Grammy nomination. As well as touring the world as a solo artist and performing everywhere from Glastonbury to Roskilde, she is recognized as a Spanish rock pioneer who has been in Colombian bands Pepa Fresa, Sidestepper and Alerta Kamarada since the 90s. 

This new album was written when she was living in the Colombian Caribbean but also on tour in Europe, which musically influenced the sound with dub, highlife, Konpa and tropical disco fusing with the melodies of Colombian bullerengue and the “magical realism” of that part of the world. She says, “This is an album that speaks about love and how it transforms, as water does it since it rains, waters the earth, reaches the sea and evaporates to fall again in the form of a rainstorm. Thus, love is born... it illuminates hearts and lights flames in the body, little by little it grows and transforms, and sometimes it ends or needs to be cut abruptly, giving space to mourning, introspection, inspiration that creates art and helps to heal, to be reborn again as self-love and eventually be shared and illuminate other hearts ... It is the cycle of love."

'Telepatia' kicks off with bubbly highlife-style rhythms, shakers and trilling guitar licks topped with Angel's carefree vocals and big horns. 'Tierra Caliente' slows into fat, warm dub territory and 'Aguacero' is an introspective sound with pillow bass and lazy reggae horns with a smoldering vocal. 'Fuego' brings a dubby disco vibe with sliding hi-hats and pensive horns, while 'Selflove' is a warm Afro house exploration with acrobatic vocals shimmering through the steamy mix. 'Que Yo Ta Voy Pa' and 'Erasonera' keep it deep and cavernous with swaying dub undercurrents and organic percussion brushing up with electronic production that brings an irresistible pulse. 'Llego La Luz' has a carnival feel and celebratory energy before the broken beat swagger of 'Caracoli' and horizontal Latin dub bliss of 'Adios' closes with a heart-aching vocal full of soul.

Drawing my inspiration from house music, I am inspired by festive music in all its forms. The melodies and energy of my mixes provide an irresistible desire to dance!

I take great pleasure in playing with different styles.
My sets are sometimes funny, grotesque, often full of spirit but also dark and powerful.
