In The Mix - The finest DJs from across the globe - and from every end of the genre spectrum – doing what they do best, sharing the music they love.

Having just achieved the considerable goal of being made residents at Glasgow’s world famous SubClub when the pandemic hit, it’s perhaps not surprising that Aberdeen duo t e s t p r e s s (@testpressabz)have been focussing solely on production.  

This exclusive mix for Juno Daily, however anticipates an anticipated (and long overdue) move back to tearing up dancefloors everywhere, with their distinctive tough but tasteful house sound.

'It’s Good to Be Here’ is my debut EP, and it’s a culmination of 5 years of experimentation, toggling in Ableton, and learning how to engineer records. I’ve been a musician since I was a little kid, but I never really knew about audio production and engineering until some of my college friends were fucking around with beats in FL Studio. I always felt attached to that process, and when I finally made the move to producing my own music, it felt like a natural fit.

"Losing Time Alone" is the first single from the project, and it's a journey through proggy acid deviations and squelchy melodic magic that creeps straight through your spinal fluid. I wrote it during peak pandemic lockdown when I was feeling a bit of cabin fever inside of my Brooklyn apartment. Built for big systems and big headphones. <3

UK selector Bessey steps up with the Bessey Feel Da Beat EP, and it arrives with the kind of club weight he’s been building for a while. If you’ve been following our channels, you’ll know Bessey is part of our OG Discord crew and he’s dropped heat on both Data Transmission and DT Weapons. It’s been wild watching his rise over the last year as he sharpened his sound and built real momentum.

He’s already stacked support from FISHER and Carl Cox, bagged big digital chart moments, and released on labels like Toolroom and Night Bass. This new Repopulate Mars outing shows how far he’s pushed things, and it feels like the start of another jump forward.

Today we premiere Bessey’s track 'Feel Da Beat', the opener and the dirtiest cut of the bunch. It rolls low and tough with dubby bass, clipped vocal hits, and raw claps that lock the whole groove tight. The rave-style breakdown twists into jungle breaks and old-school flavours that take the tension up a level. Pure sweaty-room energy.

‘Bal La Pista’ fires off rasping basslines and sirens for that peak-time rush, and ‘Controller’ brings the funk with hip-hop swagger and glossy synths. The full Bessey Feel Da Beat EP shows how wide he can go while keeping everything aimed straight at the dancefloor.

We premiere ‘Feel Da Beat’ now. Hit play and lock in. Grab the full EP on release.

Knock Me Off My Feet

BEN UFO "Sounds great, I'd love to grab the files if possible"
Motor City Drum Ensemble (MCDE) "Nice One ! I love it"

Skylax Armagnac's darling who released his first EP just a year ago, which had an international resonance with rave reviews from Resident Advisor, Bicep, Chaos in the CBD, Peach or even soul clap. Rightly some saw it as a resurgence, a modernized version of 90s New York house, silky and elegant in the Bobby Konders, Mr Fingers way. For this new EP, with fantastic remixes of the brilliant Simoncino, our French prodigy is inspired by the beginnings of trance on the title song (and title of the ep by the way) "The world as we know it (masterclass mix)", UK dub and rave influences, as on some Nu Groove releases (notably the first joey beltram) - the lead vocal sample comes from a speech in which Noam Chomsky describes the United States as a violent country and hard. According to the author "If this piece says something, I believe it is that the music and the party should not serve to forget the problems of the world, but rather to find the strength, the resources, the inspiration to solve them." On "Oh La Musique" Armagnac used the sound of his neighbors as a voice sample ! Indeed, during this incredibly complicated period that we are living in, confinement due to the devastating effects of covid 19, one of his neighbors played music really loudly and for 20 minutes ignored the other neighbors who were screaming "oh oh, the music" through the window. "Turning this moment of irritation into a sample to the glory of the music strikes me as pretty funny." Still according to the author. On B1, it’s a house masterclass lesson by the phenomenal & ultra prolific Simoncino, but do i need to remind you how much italians are masters in their way of paying homage to all the best house music that has ever been created & produced ? Good taste is often on their side ! The red zone club is a tense and incredibly effective mix that can be enjoyed either on a house or techno dancefloor, it is clearly a banger. B2 saw the italian master offers us a beautiful ambient mix. And to conclude "On My Own" is according to Armagnac "a title that speaks of the trust that one can place in one's fellow human beings and of emancipation." A superb EP that adds to the long list of must-haves from Skylax Records.

~ Jon Gravy [Austria] ~

When we think about Austrian house, Demuja is likely to come top of mind, yet closely followed with a staple artist of the Viennese thriving underground scene: Felix B. Nowak. a.k.a. Jon Gravy. Jon kicked off his career quite early, starting to produce his first track at the age of 17 and has now been blessing us with quality music for approximately 10 years. He first developed strong connections with South African grooves and 70s soul music from his dad's vinyl collection, before getting inspired by house and techno pioneers such as Paul Johnson or Underground Resistance. Jon's productions are quite easy to spot: upbeat and groove-ridden house against a backdrop of driving and stinging basslines that you could find on labels like Neo Violence, Blaq Numbers or Rough Recordings. He is also known as the owner of the record label “Step Back Trax” and its event series (Super Motel 168) which has already welcomed lots of worldwide house names (Baltra, KETTAMA or Adryiano). Actually, nothing could currently stop him as he has just founded his second record label "Gravy Trax" and released his own album on it.

We all hope we will get to be dancing again soon this year, but for now, this one should definitely be enough: 60 minutes of both classy and dirty house vibes featuring jams from Lood, Palms Trax or Mogwaa. People, this is assuredly the only way to enter 2021 properly!

Release Text:
Magnonic Signal head honcho Antonio Velazquez aka Spin Fidelity, known from his top notch releases on Subwax Excursions and Parang recordings, is present on the fourth outing on Brussels imprint Nightflight Records. This EP reflects the label’s spirit where there are no musical boundaries and hi-tech funk is the main ingredient of every track.  On the A-side we have two techno soul stompers, “Photon” and “Ancient love”,  with rolling basslines, some acid and deep pads that will draw you straight to the dancefloor. On the flip we get two deep electro-funk tracks, “There must be a way” and “Magnonic transmission”, with a Detroit touch on a deep futuristic trip.
