The "Weimar EP" from singer/songwriter Albyrd is not only his first release under a new moniker; as his first self-produced record, it also marks one of many new beginnings. The end of the pandemic, the blossoming and withering of relationships - and of course, a tribute to his time in the city and how life's perspectives change.

In 8 songs, Albyrd shows not only the range of his magnificent voice, but also how well soul and RnB can be interwoven with electronic music. With a feature from Miles Bonny, Mr. Lumberjack Soul himself, this tape is definitely one for the shelf.

Introducing SIGNAL SESSIONS, the mix series from Fortune Signal. 

For SIGNAL SESSIONS 001, Dj Burrito Boy takes the wheel. 
His recent Doomsday Ravebot EP, on Fortune Signal, continues to set the tone for the up-and-coming producer's promising future. DJ Burrito Boy brings his signature mix of house, techno, broken beat, and rave sounds to this mix.

A meticulously crafted journey, this mix seamlessly traverses genres and influences and weaves through selections from his recent EP alongside nods to Terrence Parker, Guchon (and his slamming remix of RAVEBOT 3000), Nikki Nair, BLACK GIRL / WHITE GIRL, and Fortune Signal alum Akumen. DJ Burrito Boy's picks for this one are an impeccable look into the mind of this rising force.

London based Undaground Therapy Muzik affiliate Al Zanders makes a welcome return to Roy Davis Jr.’s imprint this summer with Stars of IG. After a brief hiatus the A-Z Records founder and Balamii mainstay has created a playful, Chicago house and Nu-disco inspired three tracker.

“In a similar vein to the Guidance EP, this is a nod to the classic sounds of Chicago house and Nu-disco, done in Zander's own style. Roy, alongside producers such as Quincy Jones, Boo Williams and Soichi Terada all influenced the deep and melodic sound of this release. B2 'With Racionzer' features the very talented Ben Racionzer on the trumpet”. Al Zanders 

Title track Stars of IG demonstrates how Zanders is a master of blending unique samples and grooves to create a cohesive sound. Highlighting the artist’s skill at using percussion to its full potential, the track builds into a mischievous yet serene soundscape. Continuing the theme of jazz laced house, Spring Boo is a sophisticated number, with glitchy samples layered over a shimmering baseline. Renowned for his soulful sampling and use of live instrumentation the slick Racionzer is last up, with the track name referencing Zander’s collaboration with musician
Benjamin Racionzer on trumpet.

Originally from Sheffield, Zanders first released on UTM in 2018 with his Guidance EP, breaking the label’s sixteen year hiatus in not releasing any music. Regularly supported by his peers, Zander’s music has featured in Midland’s Dekmantel Boiler Room, Gilles Peterson’s 6 Music show, Leon Vynehall’s BBC Essential Mix, Denis Sulta’s Mixmag Cover mix and more. Zander’s track Long Gone on Blind Jacks Journey recently surpassed 3 million streams on Spotify.

Tapping into the sounds of deep, soulful house and disco originating from around the world, Zanders' sets have seen him touring globally. Whether it’s a small basement club in Tokyo, XOYO in London or festivals including Lost Village and Gotwood. Started in 2016, Zander’s A-Z Records is still based in Sheffield and thanks to its diverse and bold output tastemakers including Mixmag, Resident Advisor, Boiler Room and DJ Mag have all supported the
label.

With Racionzer

This week we welcome an artist we are all excited about, Yesca.

From Spain to Scotland, Yesca has landed in Glasgow to bring his production and mixing talents to the scene. Paired with Dan be, he co-owns the label Y4 Collective, who have cemented themselves in the underground scene with their cherry picked releases and sold out events.

Yesca has also been featured on releases for Nervous Records, Slow Supermarket, TheBasement, Happiness Therapy and Eton Messy, with support from chart-topping legends like Disclosure and Eliza Rose, as well as underground heroes like Adryiano and FOUK.

5 Mag Premiere - Bangin' subterranean vibes on this remix from the legendary DJ Rolando (Underground Resistance, Los Hermanos) of SCUBA LYFE, the hazy, deliriously hypnotic and appropriately trippy b-side track from Manchester producer Black Eyes' EP HYDRO-TRIP VOL 1 out August 18 on vinyl + digital from his Lost Control 2097 label.

Absolutely brilliant EP from start to finish — shades of Drexciya and the late, great Mike Huckaby, to whom the record is dedicated.

🎙 Black Eyes - Hailing from Manchester, Black Eyes excels as a producer but "is at heart primarily a DJ, and always will be." Heavily influenced by the likes of Mike Huckaby (to whom Hydro Trip Vol 1 is dedicated), Walt J, Omar S and Norm Talley, Black Eyes was a 7 year resident with NTS radio before moving to Berlin in 2022.

🎧 Rolando - The legend. One of the best producers to ever do it, from Aztec Mystic to Jaguar, people are still trying to digest his music from Underground Resistance, Los Hermanos and his post-2004 solo material released on Delsin, Ostgut Ton and his own Rolando Rocha.

Westcoast Goddess is an enigmatic producer who betrays a love of 90s house and tech and golden-era r&b on this fresh new EP for Intrinsic Rhythm. It is a perfect mix of quality electronic production and good-time vibes: the loose, tumbling drums of 'Fallin' come with wispy synths and heart-aching vocal samples. 'Time 4 Change' is more deep and meditative and 'Change Is Comin'' picks up the pace with some snappier drums and snares under a gospel-style vocal chorus. 'One O' These Days' brings steamy and squelchy bassline funk to the party.

Rise Up

Acid Jerks - Rise Up [Local Talk]

When we approached the talented Shahd for the artwork of this fundraising release, an essential question echoed on how we want to depict our support for Palestine. The first instinct was to delve into darkness, mirroring the grim reality in Gaza. However, we decided that our mission here is to showcase the beauty of Palestine and the wilful spirit of its people. Despite being trapped in a besieged city, they continue living with unwavering resilience. Yet, with each day passing, even this resilience is systematically being eroded, ending up in renewed chaos since October 7th.

Palestine is not just a land of struggle but a land rich in history, arts, and culture. It is also the birthplace of unique electronic music and hip-hop artists. Artists who have forged a music scene founded on the desire to unite people and break free from oppression.

A very special thanks to Cem Mo, ICTV, Nephews, Nesta, Retromigration, S.A.M., Sandilé, and Sarab for their contributions to this vital cause. Finally, a shout-out to founder of Jazar crew, Ayed, for his constant support and inspiration.

All proceeds will go to the Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

Full compilation out on 09.01 on Bandcamp.
