Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM257

Crosstown Rebels present the third in a trio of EPs featuring reworks from Krust’s lauded masterpiece ‘The Edge Of Everything’. The selection of top-drawer artists delighted to rub shoulders with the revered master now adds UNKLE, Hodge and DJ Nature to a list that has seen Masters At Work, Four Tet, Damian Lazarus, Batu, Calibre, LCY and Flynn all deliver inspired re-rubs.

Linking back to a shared history that saw Krust (alongside Roni Size) remix DJ Krush’s ‘Dig This Vibe’, and also provide their own track ‘Tribetoon’ for the seminal ‘Headz 2’ compilation, both on James Lavelle’s label Mo’Wax, now the influential DJ/producer/A&R delivers arguably his best ever work under the UNKLE alias: This is deep breakbeat goodness which sounds both classic and perfectly now.

A sonic son of Krust, fellow Bristolian Hodge works ‘Constructive Ambiguity’ into a proggy new school breaks monster that carves the original’s metallic bass into sharp new shapes, whilst West Country royalty and Wild Bunch founder Milo Johnson AKA DJ Nature provides wigged-out Martian house by way of New York – which, in one of Krust’s many thematic circles – echoes the Latin-tinged, blunted science of Nu Yorican Soul’s classics ‘Mind Fluid’ and ‘The Nervous Track’.

Krust - Constructive  Ambiguity (Hodge Remix)

Porog presents VA – Portal. The debut release brings together Siberian artists from the liminal space known as Tyumen, spanning a wide spectrum of genres — from ambient and drone to IDM and breakbeat.

Set between the cliffs of the Urals and the blizzards of Siberia, between a promised future and a fading past, between the silence of the pine forest and the noise of city life, the album absorbs these extremes and merges them into a singular form.

Porog is a threshold — a state of superposition where every possibility is valid. The first step across it leads into the Portal — the first phase of initiation and transformation.

Following the release of his debut album 'When You Find a Stranger in the Alps' earlier this year, Quartet Series bossman Nachtbraker assembles a remix package stacked with serious talent. Among the collection is Danish maestro Central who flips the album track 'Flambo' into a pumping house cut with an addictive bassline and shimmering cosmic textures. Here he showcases the more dancefloor-oriented sound that's helped Central, who has released on  garner a reputation as one of the most esteemed producers within the underground scene. TIP, this is an essential groove!

The 'WYFASITA Remix' EP, which also includes remixes from Frits Wentink, Nemo Vachez and Nachtbraker himself, is set for release October 25.

Leftroom Limited's next release finds esteemed musicians, producers and live performers No Regular Play make their debut on the label. The American duo of Nicholas DeBruyn and Greg Paulus serve up four fantastic new cuts that get remixed by countryman and dance legend, Doc Martin.

Over the last decade, No Regular Play have become synonymous with richly musical house grooves. Often laced with Paulus’s trumpet playing, the pair’s music goes way beyond the dance floor and has landed on Wolf + Lamb, No 19 Music and Crew Love, with two LPs showcasing a knack for disco, synth pop and deep house like few others.

First up here, Room Keeps Spinning is a dark and driving house cut with classic hits and a rubbery bassline powering it along. Pained vocals bring a late night, inebriated feeling and crafty synth work fleshes out the grooves with a late night tripiness. The brilliant Bare Witness is a totally different vibe, with bumping drums and spaced out pad work making for a sci-fi atmosphere. It’s a fresh, crisp dancing track that builds the pressure and twists and turns on robotic synths that sound like the future.

Sublevel boss Doc Martin has been at the heart of house music for decades. His timeless style, rare DJ skill and legendary series of residences have made him a real great. The first remix here is a tense, steel plated house cut with loose synths bringing a wild atmosphere and Lillia’s vocals adding a sense of soul, while the second is a more direct and stripped back version that will take you on a trip.

The final original is UR FINE, which again shows off another side to No Regular Play: it’s a freaky bit of house for the after party. Chattery claps and warped synths, weird vocals and spooning hi hats all add up to a brilliantly off-kilter cut that will blow minds.

This EP truly shows off the breadth and depth of No Regular Play’s ever evolving and fascinating sound.

Superfreq boss Mr.C gives us a taste of the Mr.C of old, yet with a firm nod to the future with his next outing Celebration Of Life. Solid beats & a Detroit influenced bass-line are joined by deep acid-lines, trippy melodies & ethereal pads creating this beautiful celestial outing. Mr.C’s “Celebration Of Life” vocal refrain highlights the primary reason Mr.C gives for being a DJ. This is big.

Next up Superfreq partner David Scuba does what he does best, supplying a dark rolling tech groove for the dance floor. Utilising the original acid lines, melodies & pads David makes the track his own with quirky noises, tough beats & an infectious attitude. 

Next up comes Noel Jackson who shifts things up a couple of gears with an acid techno work out. Direct beats, rumbling bass & incessant acid take us on a dark & haunting journey highlighting Noel’s unmistakable twisted sound that satisfies both the dance floor & the darker recesses of the mind.

Mr.C - Celebration Of Live (David Scuba Remix) (Superfreq)

Its a new year and we are excited to be starting off with a new release. "Deetroy," produced by young talented artist Patrick Dandoczi based in Ireland. It is a very percussive track with a heavy kick drum, rolling snares, aggressive claps, with a deep harmonic sounding synth. The patterns will continue to change throughout the track with its consistent breakdowns from beginning to end.  The finishing touch is a remix by legendary producer "Samuel L Session" who delivers his very own striped down version. Its a dark atmosphere with echoing chords and a bit of texture. If you aren't familiar with these artist yet, we strongly encourage you to check out their other music its really good work.

Colombian duo DJ Fronter & Julian Collazos join forces for the ‘Tic Tac EP’, bringing three bumping house tracks to Jamie Jones’ Hottrax this March.

Leading the release is DJ Fronter’s ‘Tic Tac’, a skippy synth-led number which bubbles through wonky build-ups over squeaking low end. Following is the breaks influenced ‘Too Much’, which sees the pair looping warm basslines under a broken beat and low, soulful vocals.

‘Touch It’ utilises jagged percussion, stabby synthesis and filtered vocals for a slow-burning late-night jam, unwinding itself through a tension relieving breakdown.

Following releases on Hot Creations, Sola, and South Of Saturn, DJ Fronter links up with Julian Collazos of Stereo Productions, Material, as well as his own Duff Music label for their debut appearance on Hottrax. Marking their first-ever collaboration, the pair have delivered a diverse set of party starters for Jamie Jones’ celebrated imprint.

DJ Fronter & Julian Collazos ‘Tic Tac EP’ drops on Hottrax on 19th March.

Tic Tac EP

PREMIERE: DJ Fronter - Tic Tac [Hottrax]

Leftroom Records opened its doors in August of 2005 in Nottingham, England. The label is the creation of Matt Tolfrey (Owner). Musically, it was one of the first labels of its kind in the UK, showcasing the off centre sound of house, disco and techno.

Distributed now by Above Board, the first release surfaced for the label on the 5th of December 2005 and was entitled ‘The Extended Family EP’ encapsulating the spirit of Leftroom, a place where a core set of artists could grow and experiment with their sound. The Leftroom family consists of a few key artists including Laura Jones, Huxley, Gavin Herlihy, Sam Russo and Matt himself.

April 2006 saw the launch of Leftroom's sublabel, Leftroom Limited. Musically Leftroom Limited brings a new dimension to Leftroom as a whole, concentrating on anything that wobbles from straight up house, to techno and even the uplifting. The first ep for the sublabel was Tolfrey & Sylvester presents: Popeye-Spinach Disko, a slow brewing, techy, disco record, which came out the end of May 06 with many plaudits. 

With Matt being label owner he proved his A&R capabilities are pin-point in securing one of 2007’s biggest tracks, Ito & Star’s ‘Suduko Kid’ and one of 2008’s biggest crossover tracks, Rocha and Lewinger’s ‘Down Seq’. The summer of 2011 brought you Laura Jones's 'Love In Me' which was a global phenomenon, and Maceo Plex's remix of the same track was Leftroom's first no 1 overall seller on Beatport. In 2012 Kate Simko's 'Go On Then' featuring Jem Cooke stole all headlines, and the same year brought you Matt's debut artist album 'Word Of Mouth.' 

With new albums and mix compilations not to far away, and a whole host of new releases, Leftroom is sure to carry on where it left off which is delivering high quality, diverse dance music.
