PREMIERE: Joe Davies - Errol Dub [Smallville Records]

Following his debut LP on Smallville Records in April, Joe Davies returns with a fresh take on the opening track Hi-Life, now reimagined as the Frankfurt Mix, offering a new mask, outfit, and flavour in his forthcoming Pardon My Late Response 4-track EP on the same imprint.

This dub-house track exudes sophistication, with its echoing chords, textured soundscapes, and off-kilter percussion. Wherever you are in the world, it evokes a sense of warmth, its timing especially poignant as the festival season draws to a close — a welcomed embrace.

Elevated to another level from the original, this version retains the soft bird sounds, teasing conversation, and dreamlike tranquillity, yet carries a driving force beneath its surface. The track, with its hazy finish, offers a fitting close to the EP, as we watch the sun go down.

Listening to both versions of Hi-Life back-to-back is highly recommended. It’s great to see Joe return so quickly under this alias, focusing on the deeper, more floaty side of his productions.

Pardon My Late Response, including Hi-Life (Frankfurt Mix), will be available on vinyl and digital via Smallville Records on 13th September.

SensuCast / 044 / Joe Davies

Joe Davies is on a bit of a hot streak at present. With b2b releases being snapped up by the ever dependable Smallville Records. But joe is no newcomer, his earlier work under the DJ Assam moniker shows the quality that has been there from day one. As a long time follower, I was delighted when Joe agreed to provide a mix for the series. 

For our listening pleasure we have a brilliantly selected vinyl only mix of house music that will fill your speakers with hope and joy!

Big up Joe. Big up decent music. Keep the fire burning!

Spinning Grounds w/ Joe Davies

The monthly show hosted by @katharina-davids is returning with guest Joe Davies aka @djassam

First making waves as DJ Assam, founder and part of the label Lehult from Hamburg in the mid-2010s, Joe Davies took on minimal techno from the 2000s and made it deeper, cultivating an aesthetic both soulful and dynamic. Commended for the depth and quality of his debut LP on Smallville Records and a sought-after follow-up 12“ in 2024, Joe has carved out a unique sound for himself across genres. His music often transcends the functional qualities of dance music, using the framework of sound and sampling to create tracks that speak to us as much as they move us.

'Spinning Grounds' is all about opening grounds - for both newcomers and experienced selectors alike - to spin music outside of club spaces to explore a wide range of genres from house, Detroit, deep house, dub house, ambient, breaks, UK garage, minimal, dub techno to .....

Spinning Grounds I w/ Joe Davies @ THF Radio, 17/12/24

One hour from my set at the Fellice Records night, upstairs at Paloma Bar in Berlin. Sharing the bill with @nico-lahs and @effgee, two great house selectors, I packed a bag full of warm, organic records to balance the freezing cold outside. The place was packed and the energy on the dancefloor was beautiful. 

We went b2b2b after this - full recording of the night is online on the Paloma Bar Soundcloud! 

Vinyl only 💯 🌅

Joe Davies | 3am at Paloma, February 7th, 2025 - Fellice Records Label Night

Peace! 
Deep House music forever!!
