For our first premiere, we're very excited to be supporting one of the nuttiest compilations that we ever did hear, curated by one of our favourite emerging labels, Crazed Behaviour. The good news only continues as this Wales-based imprint have kindly invited us to premiere a ridiculous edit by our good friend Z. James. Perhaps most well known for his sublime UKG productions, released through his very own Kultura Collective and Dim Sum more recently, Zac's multi-genre production tendencies shine through on this bass-heavy, breaky 150 number.

Head over to the Crazed Behaviour Bandcamp to cop their second-ever V/A 'COUNTER ATTACK' featuring an action-packed line up including some of the best underground producers in the game. The Crazed Behaviour Crew have worked hard on refining their research methods, carefully sourcing talented producers that reside in the electro underworld. Quality control is in full effect, blasting a searchlight around the globe under every rock, in every rave, for the tracks that truly melt the dancefloor.

Finally, an enormous thank you goes out to Tom Ryan for creating our intro animation!

PREMIERE: Z. James - Likkya [Crazed Behaviour]

Another wild creation from @be_lk ! 

This track 'Sinai' is a heavy, percussion centric arrangement - mixing instrumentation from the Middle East and North Africa with classic UK sounds. Genre defying as always, but somewhere on the spectrum of hard drum, tribal, UK funky. Whatever you wanna call it, it's a major groove throughout - broken up only by a huge build up that will for sure rattle some heads in the dance!

Over & Out DIGI001

PREMIERE: Roaming Data - Tryna Make [Over & Out]

There are many great duos that the contemporary world has been presented with. Think Beyonce and Jay Z, Bert and Ernie, Daft Punk, Sweet Female Attitude and Sunship, just to name a few. Today, Gallery Records are presenting another, powerhouse, bass and club driven duo, AK SPORTS and Mincy, two local underground legends and community leaders, combining for ‘Rave Again’ an EP to challenge any soundsystem. The duo each present an original and a corresponding remix, resulting in four percussive and bass driven numbers. 
 
Hosting the A-side is Eora/Sydney born and bred, London and LA based, Balamii radio host, DJ, producer and high energy aficionado AK SPORTS. She delivers the chonky, ‘Flex’, ready to slide directly into her globally renowned DJ sets that feature hard hitting breaks, nostalgic warehouse cuts and the darker tinges of UK inspired garage. ‘Flex’ nods to the traditional tropes of these genres glued together by a tongue-in-cheek donk bassline which sits delicately below euphoric synths and a choppy, sporadic vocal sample. It’s alternative version sees Mincy transform the track's ebb and flow to a consistent, in your face four to the floor romper, representing it as a techno-esque sweat dripping affair. 
 
Just as remix’s outro provides a breath of fresh air for the listener, slams Mincy’s original, ‘Biscuit Inception’ a manifestation of her vast experience as a dance music community member. It includes being label executive of Extra Spicy, she’s shared the stage with the likes of DJ EZ, Flava D, Preditah, Conductah. Rarely does instrumental music require a parental guidance logo, but ‘Biscuit Inception’s’ booming bass line, eerie vocal sample and 90s inspired breaks are not for the faint hearted. If late night warehouse parties have taught us anything, it's that there's always room for more euphoria and AK SPORTS’ FJAAK-esque remix exemplifies this perfectly. Time travel is technically impossible, but the remix’s glitzy piano chords, shaky distorted percussion and an impressive omnipresent kick will vividly teleport the listener back to the 90s. 
 
While the collaborative EP makes sense sonically the duo’s intrinsic connection to community action makes the record even sweeter. Both artists are vast community leaders and advocates of a new era of dance music, one deservedly reclaimed by female identifying artists and communities. Their unapologetic nature in uplifting, representing and solidifying their respective communities are well on show here, packaged as four tracks ready to take over and demand attention in any club environment. 
 
Let’s Rave Again!

EGG TART EDITS Volume II

15th May 2022 - “Timeless Art, Touching The Heart”

The monthly hike with Virgil always concludes with a visit to 點心餅家 - Touch Of The Heart Bakery. A morning connecting with nature and reminiscing about Hong Kong always leads us to this legendary institution. Established in 1922, by a family of immigrants from Hong Kong. This place never fails to fascinate me on multiple fronts every single time I go. Whether it is the sizzling tray of egg tarts coming straight out of the oven, seeing the bakers zoned in, creating magic or its ability to transport me spiritually to Hong Kong. Something I don’t think I can comprehend myself.

So to celebrate 100 Years of Touch Of The Heart Bakery. We have curated this special project with some mega talented people. Hopefully this reflecting 4 Generations, dedication to the craft. The craft of literally touching hearts and creating smiles. Also was super to see Florence, a long time friend and next in line to take over at the bakery. Both being in the same year class at Chinese School decades ago, sharing a love for Marvin Gaye, Ryo Fukui and of course edits. She left me with some wonderful words by her late grandfather (Heard this from Jimmy Iovine too!) - “Give yourself time, to make something that will last forever. Egg Tart. A Timeless Art”

Yours, DiMarco.
