@good-block return with a second EP of original productions following the success of the '4 Corners EP’ released in 2019. Their sound continues to evolve and mutate, exploring the use of organic instruments, otherworldly samples and synth heavy themes. Delving into more sonically dense ideas, Good Block distil their wide-ranging musical taste down to its essence in the form of the 'Aquaculture EP'. Limited to 300 copies, with full cover artwork by the duo, and pressed on clear vinyl.

PREMIERE : Good Block - Strato

Wandering through the outback he was aware of his own bitter loneliness, there wasn't much out here but for the occasional ramshackle old house and the desert sands. His only companion? A crazy ass bronco with a mind all of his own and a wild kick. The sun beamed down upon them both as they marched and trudged through the abyss in the hope of finding a beautiful mirage, a vision of a waterfall or the great rains. This was the only hope the pair had left in hell...

t-woc is a producer from Dublin, he has recorded a stellar six track record for Strangelove, a mixture of oddball bashment and dub with playful experimentation dotted throughout. Strangelove is a label of which we are very fond and this is the latest in their excellent pursuit to enlighten us all.

PREMIERE: t-woc - Crazy Bronco [Strangelove]

Panta - Fuck Wit (dancehall Mix)

Jitter Edits Vol.2  (Snippets) OUT ON FEB 3RD

Yet Another Kito Jempere Album was finished two months before the pandemic hit, and released right at the peak of it in November 2020. Due to COVID19 restrictions was never played live, although a big AV show was planned and put into production. This album is a long journey of meeting friends along the way of Kito Jempere and making them stand together for one simple idea: get together for music. Album was never aimed at any charts or hype, it was just a bunch of demos, which later transformed into fully fledged compositions and then laid out into a long-play sequence.

Yet Another Kito Jempere Album is both a spontaneous and easy-going free-time friendly project and a real Kito Jempere’s own universe combining artists as Jimi Tenor, Mujuice, Lipelis, Rich Thair of Red Snapper, Cedric Gasaida, Hard Ton, Ruf Dug and many others. The variety of the album got wider with lots of amazing remixes from Kito’s friends: Max Essa, Andras, Fango, Eden Burns and many more. But every journey comes to and end. In 2022 Kito wanted to finish the story with huge DELUXE collection of 36 tracks including album originals, released remixes and previously unreleased remixes and versions by Samo DJ, Hard Ton, Longhair, Linja and Fanick. Original cover image by Dmitry Shiryaev also was transformed into painting by Netflix/Apple illustrator Joe Taylor.

Yet once again the world had gone crazy, Kito couldn’t believe his eyes in the end of February. It was a tough decision not to stop, not to give up. Music is the only answer. Art is the only future. We need to find peace within ourselves, spread it around us, and start all over again. The final chapter of Yet Another Kito Jempere Album’s story is here. We all need to redefine ourselves. The darkest hour always comes before the dawn. Only we can make the future happen.

The album is out on 1st April Bandcamp friday as Name Your Price item.

B2: Blue Drink (Trent Rework)

Occasionally prodigal, but ever-prodigious, Elliot Thomas AKA @Etbonz weaves an 80-s/early 90’s sci fi cinema sound into a total recall of scattered memories. Childhood play with starcom and Gobots. Soaking in cult classics like Robocop, Predator, and Big Trouble in Little China on VHS. DJing in spacey laser-lit rooms draped with sound-dampening curtains. These are the Rockstar fueled productions that Etbonz’ midnight sessions have generated for “Beyond The Cosmic Blaze.” Rounding out this scientific experiment is Grenvision's Trent (@lucaTrent) , who explores psychedelic yet euphoric sonics opening a vortex to the unknown through his rework of "Blue Drink." Together, they embark on a journey trailblazing through the cosmos as they christen our newly-active Bouquet. label with our first 12". 

Other than that, let’s have the music do the editorializing—if you will. Enjoy the cosmic voyage across the 8th dimension, courtesy of Captain EtBuckarooBonz.

[BQT001] Etbonz - Beyond The Cosmic Blaze - Vinyl/Digital EP (SNIPPETS)

For this second opus, we are hosting @plasticbamboo a chill edit of a french rare record.
Plastic Bamboo is not really a stranger to us, we’ve already invited him to record a podcast on our channel and we also played together last year with Guillaume des Bois from Macadam Mambo.


MTT: Hello Camille, how are you? I hope that you are holding on in Paris, few days to go.

PB: Hi MTT! I'm doing great thank you. There's worse than staying home for long periods of time. I'm kind of used to it anyway because I work in the film industry. These days it's just different because it's necessary. I mostly occupy my time watching movies, listening to music and working on some ongoing projects. I have a first EP of edits coming out on wax next year on a new label from Manchester. My friend Patrick Ryder from Piccadilly Records and Talking Drums is behind it but hush hush. I've also been working on my own label project for a year and a half now. All I can say for now is that the first release is an LP, and that it should be out sometime in 2020.


MTT: I know that you’ve been part of Les Yeux Orange, can you tell us how you get involved in the collective and what benefit you took from this ?

PB: I first met Antoine aka LeonxLeon back in 2014. We both had tracks released through Manchester label Red Laser and instantly got on. He then introduced me to his friends Raphael and Stanislas from Les Yeux Orange and I joined the collective shortly after. At that time I was mostly producing music as Alan Dente (my italo alias), and I didn't know much about digging, the club culture and managing a label. From 2014 to 2017, I learned a lot in those fields while having a great time with my friends. Digging old records became kind of obsessive so I decided to follow my own path as Plastic Bamboo. I haven't given up production but it takes time and dedication.

MTT: You’ve started publishing edits last year, what led you to this ? What’s your objective behind it ?


I first became aware of disco edits through Eric Duncan (COMBI Edits), DJ Harvey (Black Cock Edits) and Theo Parrish (Ugly Edits). That was back in the late noughties when my friend Patrick Ryder used to rave about them. Inspired by them, I naturally started editing tracks just for fun, and hoping to get noticed. Most of them are now lost somewhere in the black hole of my computer. Years later, Plastic Bamboo started with a youtube channel and a series of podcasts on soundcloud, but after a while I decided to pick up where I'd left off with edits. Editing tracks is a way for me to make the most of records that would otherwise gather dust at the back of my collection, and to share them with friends and through social medias.

Plastic Bamboo - Mon P'tit Bateau (Edit)

Edit by @aaronmaple.

Dance for Relief is a project that's been on our minds for a while as a way using our music to help raise funds for causes that we are passionate about. With the world currently struggling with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic now felt like it would be the right time to get this project started.

The first project under this banner is a compilation of edits, remixes and secret weapons from various friends, with Volume 1 focusing on cosmic, tribal and trancey sounds of the 90s.

All money from this release will go straight to Direct Relief (directrelief.org), a charity who's mission is to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies, and who are doing great work to ensure that protective gear and critical care medications get to as many health workers as possible. We felt they were a particularly both in the midst of current Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.

Finally, we'd like to say a huge thank you to all the artists involved who have given their skills and time during a difficult period to help make this release happen in support of a worthy cause.

Jan Schulte aka Bufiman releases his drum rhythm versions from his latest Dekmantel LP ‘Albumsi'.

In his own words: “Hi, my name is Bufiman and I do drum music for world peace and dance music for frogs. I recently released a longplayer called ‘Albumsi' on Dekmantel. While doing the mix-downs for ‘Albumsi' I realized how much effort I had put in it and how it might even seem overproduced in comparison to other records of mine. This was the result of ‘Albumsi’ being in the first year after quitting all other jobs to focus completely on music. It was the first time I had a studio, some gear and time all at once, at the same moment. So during the mixing process I realized how carefully and loaded the drum tracks were, I even had unused leftover drum material… I also just found a Dutch record heavily inspired by the classic Jive Rhythm Trax with the name 'Mix Your Own Breaks - Construction in Music' with an accompanying text that inspired my idea to do some of my own rhythm trax versions: "The compositions on this LP only consist of rhythms and sound effects. They can be used as: a transition between two records, to be mixed as a break in between and for the production of jingles. Have a lot of fun with these breaks!" Or in Dutch, as originally printed on the record: VEEL MIX-PLEZIER MET DEZE BREAKS - Een multifunctionele LP voor Discjockeys, Thuismixers en geluids-amateurs.”
