Hypercolour offshoot, HypeLTD, return for more stellar underground house business with a super 4 track release from Trikk.

The Portuguese DJ and producer has been bubbling away for the last 24 months, releasing some solid records on labels like Terrain Ahead, Container and Man Make Music.  His HypeLTD debut sees him plunder the roots of underground house with fresh impetus.

‘Midnight Sequence’ is a dark, driving, tour de force, no doubt influenced by fellow Portuguese legends Underground Sound Of Lisbon, with it’s deep bass, air horns and white noise over a deadly drum arrangement.

‘Back To Back’ plunders a similar dark path, shades of London Jungle-ism in this one, whilst ‘Labour 91’ is an altogether more upbeat track, classic Todd Terry-esque rolling drums and Chi-town house cut ups keeps the energy flow.  

Wrapping up the EP is ‘Prime Time’, more on point house business here from Trikk, again with influences clearly in the Windy City variety of house music.

All outstanding productions here from Trikk, with a nice variety of tracks for all persuasions.

Trikk - Midnight Sequence EP (HYPELTD013) [clips]

For the next Bedrock release, the label turns to one of the most influential figures in dance music over the last 20 years, Darren Emerson. Underworld’s classic 1993 “Dubnobasswithmyheadman” album, “Born Slippy” on the Trainspotting movie soundtrack, unforgettable remixes for The Chemical Brothers and Björk, “Scorchio” with Sasha – these are just a few examples of key creations that have captured so many people’s imaginations.

For twenty years Darren Emerson has blazed an unrivalled trail across the electronic scene, navigating a highly successful career as a DJ, producer, remixer and label owner (Underwater and Detone). Now, fresh from a brilliant remix of Paul Rutherford’s Acid House classic “Get Real”, he makes his debut on Bedrock.

“Hot Dog” is a big-room beast that evolves from ethereal pads, heavy drums, clever percussion and crazy noises, to create a hypnotic groove that builds and develops with subtle skill until brimful with tension and bursting with energy. Darren Emerson never fails to impress.

Berlin based Florian Meindl is a multi-talented talented DJ, producer, sound designer, writer and label boss (Flash Recordings), whose productions have graced labels such as Trapez, Stil vor Talent, Herzblut and Kling Klong. Here he strips things back, brings the beats to the fore, turns up the funk factor and creates an equally hypnotic and enthralling and yet distinctly different version of “Hot Dog”.

Once again, Bedrock continues to capture the essence of why electronic dance music is such an exciting prospect right now, picking up praise and support from some of the world’s most savvy and innovative forward-thinking DJs.

Belfast based Phil Kieran is back on Twin Turbo with remixes from TWR72 and Catz 'N Dogz. 

One of the most reliable producers around, with a discography that includes releases on heavily respected era-defining labels (Cocoon, Soma, Skint, Novamute, Gigolo, and his own Phil Kieran Recordings), Phil has managed to consistently reinvent his sound, staying cool without ever being trendy - a quality which is reinforced by his affiliation with Tiga's label, who have done the same over their 15+ year history. 

There's a sense of cool conviction here, no doubt rooted in vast experience. Sonically refined grooves honed to their essential steel underpin top-line melodies that are confidently off-centre. It takes real skill to go 'wonky' but not lose your audience. There's nothing superfluous, just a pair of solid club tracks built for very different rooms: Liquid Night - a cold hard warehouse assassin - and Saturdays - a warm club pumper. 

Mixing things up, Dutch duo TWR72 take their concrete fists to Liquid Night, while Polish tech-house pair Catz 'N Dogz dim the lights and deepen the groove on Saturdays.

Mike is an artist who knows how to work the floors and this EP absolutely proves that without any doubt.

DB-110 - Justin Jay - Instincts

Available on The Birdhouse: June 6th
Beatport Exclusive: June 9th
iTunes + : June 24th


Deep bass rumbles in the dirtybird jungle as Justin Jay swathes into the fray once again with yet another impeccable collection of tracks. From acid house foundations to the sonic semiotics of Detroit - his ability to fuse a timeless, full-bodied dancefloor blend is remarkable. The Instincts EP follows up a notable appearance on VonStrokes Urban Animal remix album and continues Justin's steady rise as he finishes his college degree while also interning at the dirtybird head office!

"Analysis Paralysis" is a hypnosis homage: percussive elements strip and tease amid the mix while a sharp, sinewy synth line twists and turns itself inside out.  All the while a deep, almost dub-level bassline bubbles and bobs over the concrete kicks.  

"Denial," done in tandem with PILO, is a sludgier, loopy beast that struts with a bi-polar moodiness. Both reflective and growling the fine balance is kept in check between the purring metallic SFX and human vocal touches. 

 "Instincts" closes the show with bleepy gusto.  Instantly infectious thanks to its sturdy rhythmic clap, were soon dropped into a bold, bulbous bass riff that smoulders and shimmers with 808 finesse.

Timeless, full-bodied and unarguably funky: Justin Jay just keeps on delivering. Press play and get busy.

Minimal bombs from LA-based, Dubfire-championed SHADED

Shaded is the new solo project of Skyler Taugher, one of the members of SHDWPLAY, whose releases to date have all been via Dubfire's SCI+TEC label, which speaks to his talent for stripped-down, big room techno. This four track EP bridges the gap between pumping, classic M_nus-style minimal techno and whatever it's more fun and modern counterpart is. 

Opener Sheshe has been a staple in label-boss Tiga's sets of late, a slick, energetic and eminently playable club record. Things get darker for Side Sippin and Jane Smith Goes To DC10 before closer Single Freax funs things up again in the closer slot with what sounds like a police siren on drugs under a vocal going “freak-freak-freak,” classic elements for effective party tools…

TURBO128d - ZZT -  PARTYS OVER EARTH REMIX LP


As ZZT, Tiga and Zombie Nation are responsible for the greatest string of cult bangers this century, with a crew of fanmen-turned-remixers that speaks for itself. Justice. Erol Alkan. The Advent. Proxy. Julio Bashmore. Gesaffelstein.

The PARTYS OVER EARTH Remix LP collects all the classic re-bombs from their catalog, plus unreleased endorphin-releasers from techno veterans The Advent & Industrialyzer, rising Scottish stars Clouds, Mexican Tribal Warrior Erick Rincon, and off-the-grid upstarts Art Majours. It's a fitting monument to the final moments of frenzied dancing before the Singularity, when we will all be judged in the eyes of the Nano-Lord.
