Earl Jeffers returns to his own Mélange imprint with a massive splash. Two soulful house heaters and an alternative mix. But the first of these dancefloor destroyers features the ever-prolific Kaidi Tatham on flute and guitar. 

If you’re not familiar with Cariff’s Earl Jeffers, there’s an ocean of brilliant music to catch up on. Stacks of releases under his own name, and aliases Chesus and Metabeats, on labels like MCDE, Fat City, and Local Talk. Not forgetting his own label, Mélange Records.

Earl has jumped confidently from house to hip hop, jungle, jazz. library music and more, collaborating on the way with artists such as Byron The Aquarius, Action Bronson, Kamaal Williams and K15. Moreover, as one half of Darkhouse Family with Don Leisure, Earl fuses hip hop production sensibilities with live soul & jazz and yet more notable collaborators. 

Better-known for his keyboard wizardry and highest quality broken jazz productions, don’t sleep on Kaidi Tatham on the flute OR guitar. On both he lays it down with the same finesse and feel for what the song needs. As Earl adds, “pleasure to once again work with one of the best to do it! Mr Kaidi Tatham”. 

Artwork is provided by frequent collaborator and good friend of Earl’s, Ral Duke. Ral has been behind artwork for the likes of Griselda Records (Westside Gunn, Conway, Benny the Butcher), Alchemist, and Ghostface Killah, among many others.

On the flip we find title track “Higher”, featuring vocals from Lloyd Everitt, alongside an alternative mix of the same. ‘Higher’ is released on June 12.

Movin On (Back To My Roots)

Warsaw's finest producer, envee (yes spelled in low blocks) has been around the block since the early 2000s and is arguably Poland's #1 producer of underground dance music, with soul. With a sound that often leans towards the UK underground, we thought that we should enlist one of envee's (and our's) fave producers to remix his new Local Talk release.Manchester's finest Zed Bias.

We asked Zed to give us that deep, soulful 2-Step rub but with a slight jazz edge and boy did he deliver. It's proper UK deep UK 2-step / garage that will work in any (!) decent club.yup it's that good.

Styrax sounds like a killer jazz-funk banger straight out the Bugz In The Attic playbook with jazzy rhodes, breakbeats, big strings, and a bad bassline. West London meets Warzaw, bam!!

After more than a decade releasing quality music on prestigious labels worldwide, Italian artist Nico Lahs launches his new label, U FIT, with two new solo EPs. The first, Distant Shadows, is a 4-track EP that showcases all of Nico's skills and his ability to juggle the most diverse shades of deep house. A package that collects proper club tracks, groovy stuff, emotional deep house, and raw and deep tunes. Simply what one would expect from Nico Lahs. Tip!
