Jazzanova feat. Ben Westbeech - I Can See (Konstantin Sibold Remix)

Squarehead is the latest young producer to sparkle on Shabby Doll, with his “Bats & Stuff” EP delivering yet more bump and wallop for the discerning house head. Otherwise known as Oliver Ledger, Squarehead is possessed of a precocious talent – his debut “Keep It Moving” EP on Bad Taste was a Juno Download number one, while his records have won hard-earned airplay on Radio One thanks to supporters like Toddla T and Skream – and with DJ appearances across Europe plus his own 5ANDSEVEN label, he's right at the heart of Sheffield's current underground scene.

Squarehead's latest is a collection of crisp house tracks that crackle with a twitching percussive energy and exert a warm bass embrace; titled “Bats and Stuff”, the release features five new tunes built for the dancefloor, including remixes by Shabby Doll fellow travellers Jack Fell Down and Francois Le Roy & Nanni.

- Bats
The melancholic synth pads have the power to tug at your heart – but just wait for the nag of that jumpy, paranoid shriek.

- Bats (Jack Fell Down Remix)
You'll be hooked from the first thump of the kick. Tracks like this are measured in megatons.

- Parrish
A hypnotic looping whistle propels this pulsing tune through seven minutes of good party vibes.

- WRK
Lose yourself in the nod and growl of that stuttering, baritone vocal snip. All right? OK? Yes sir!

- Bats (Francois Le Roy & Nanni Remix)
The title track gets a smooth house refurb fashioned in Milan.

Squarehead is just 20 years old, and one advantage that gives him – among many – is that the memory of first hearing serious dance music on a serious club system is still fresh in his mind. It gave him a new dedication to dancefloor precision, and when you listen to the “Bats and Stuff” EP, you'll hear the results loud and clear. So turn off the lights, get down in the darkness, and let Squarehead help spread your wings...

Stepping out on his own for his debut Large Music release, Lars proves that he indeed has a flair for the dramatic with two stellar tracks that push the movement forward while paying tribute to where it all began. This is top shelf Deep House for those who love it and for those who will love it soon enough.

As if this package wasn’t strong enough already based on the two defining tracks, Large Music and Lars have enlisted the fine talents of underground heroes Homework to join in with a stomper of a remix for ‘Break Me Down’. Homework are widely praised for their original releases on labels such as Berlin-based Exploited, 2020 Vision, Jesse Rose’s Made To Play, and Riva Starr’s Snatch! as well as strains of remixes erupting from their Amsterdam studio. These two gentlemen have garnered a continuing sense of awe from both the famous and not yet famous DJs across the globe for their uncompromising approach to making proper underground music. On this particular remix outing, Homework give a firm nod to the rich Deep House history of Large Music yet still manage to keep the vibe fresh and alive.

Full Bio:

Cast your mind back to 1992. The world wide web had only just been invented, and mobile phones were for yuppies and drug dealers. The world we know today was just being born – and being born right at the same time, over in Chicago, was a little label called Large.

Large Music was the brainchild of Windy City resident Jeff Craven, who was worried that house music was in danger of being sidelined in its own birthplace, the international spotlight that had once shone on the pioneering Trax and DJ International imprints having moved on to New York labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Nervous and 8-Ball. “I thought a label with that kind of energy and underground profile could work in Chicago,” says Jeff.  So, pooling funds with a friend, he began finding talent and pressing records. Kerri Chandler's 'Raw Grooves EP' became the label's breakout release, and Large Music hasn't looked back since.

In fact, far from looking back, Large is a record label that's always been about looking forward. In the 90s, their catalogue featured the likes of DJ Sneak, Mateo & Matos and Dennis Ferrer when they were right at the start of their careers, not to mention providing a then-nascent UK garage scene with one of its most enduring anthems in the form of Roy Davis Jr's 'Gabriel'. In the 2000s, the Chicago-based label was quick to pick up on the deep and soulful house coming from the West Coast, releasing material from the likes of Halo, Jay-J, Rasoul, Miguel Migs and Julius Papp. And now as a new decade takes shape, we see Jeff embracing the techier deep house sound that's emerged out of Europe, with recent releases from the likes of Roland Nights, Evan Iff, James Dexter and Matthias Vogt.

Yet while fashions fluctuate and music mutates, one thing that hasn't changed is the Large A&R policy. It's simple: “My formula has always been to release music that I was really into and what I would play as a DJ,” says Jeff. “I'm still just as excited about house music as I was in 1992.” Which probably explains how Large has been able to stay relevant all these years – this is one veteran label that isn't content to endlessly rehash former glories, but who instead keep searching out new underground talent.

At the time of writing this, Large Music is 20 years old, with some 200 singles and 50 albums under their belt, and tracks licensed to over 400 compilations. Which means they've been putting out upfront house music on a weekly basis since before many of the people dancing to it in clubs this weekend were even born. They set out to ensure that house music didn't get sidelined in Chicago in the 90s. What they've actually achieved is to push house forward all over the world for two decades – and counting…
