Bosq ft. Kaleta - Backstrokin'

Owing their foundations to traditional afrobeat (and named after a Fela Kuti song), the Brooklyn-based, female-fronted band, Underground System, has built an international reputation around a seamlessly executed stage show, astonishing wherever they go, and compelling crowds to move with unbridled verve. 

Robbing American “afrobeat” of its derivative formalism, Underground System continues to reinvent their brand of global dance music, remaining a force determined to recreate, redefine, and reconstruct. 

In September 2018 the band released their debut LP What Are You on Soul Clap Records, the much-loved New York City imprint known for their coupling of party-ready DJ culture and shapeshifting live acts. Departing from the extended forms formally associated with Underground System’s live performances and stylistic roots. Hints of afrobeat, no wave, world, electronic, contemporary classical, disco, house, and genre-defying elements combine tightly to reflect a self-aware, edgy, and cohesive statement not currently being made by any other band.

Following up on “What Are You,” Underground System returns to Soul Clap Records with a remix package & music video for their standout single “Just A Place” due out, June 7th. Full of heavy hitters and dancefloor bombs, leading off is Germany’s king of the remix, Gerd Janson, who gives us a powerful 80’s influenced main mix and a stripped back drum tool. Joining Gerd on the package, UK legend Greg Wilson, who joins forces with his son Che, along with Soul Clap, Midnight Magic, Sol Power All-Stars, and Underground System mastermind, Peter Matson.

Fast rising producer DASCO serves up a poignant new house release for Local Talk that comes with remixes from culture artists Trinidadiandeep and Anthony Nicholson.
"I dedicated this EP to my dear father, Shlomo Cohen (RIP) that passed away about 4 years ago. Even though he is not here anymore, I still feel him with me everywhere I go. My father was a very good hearted, smart and spiritual person and always gave me a lot of mental support, encouraging and strengthening. I truly believe that I am where I am today a lot because of him." - DASCO
This Israeli born but Berlin based producer is as colourful as they come with a wide-reaching sound but unique musical style. She draws on her diverse cultural roots to mix up house, afro, acid, tribal or disco, all with a vintage and authentic edge. When her music isn’t picking up support from DJ Antal, Folamour, and Dekmantel Soundsystem, DASCO can be found rocking crowds in clubs around the globe.
Superb opener ‘African Power’ is a groovy house track inspired by African music elements with exquisitely loose and jumbled drums, bass riffs, sci-fi pads, fluttering trumpets and more all colour the groove with impossible musicality which make it brim with soul from start to
finish. Trinidadiandeep strips things back on ‘African Power’ to the deep, leggy drums and allows the trumpets and synths to ring out that bit more.
Long-time Chicago house denizen Anthony Nicholson then serves up a Mediterranean Disco Mix of ‘Keep Moving’ with sunny keys and airy chords layered over a lush, expansive groove that is utterly timeless. Finally, Keep Movin’’ is a spiritual house tune with culturedafro kicks and hits which feel live and organic, embellished with warm and soul-infused chords that swell the heart.
