Exploited Club warmly welcome in Pleasure Voyage who step up to the plate and do as they do best: casting out a wide musical net, gathering in influences from Breaks, House, Disco, Balearic and Funk whilst pulling in a hefty dose of fun, flair and ecstasy to boot.

'Cuánto Cuesta' is a simmering pot of pure joy. A bubbling bass line has the track on a low boil throughout while luscious, buoyant synths intimately jostle alongside bold but allaying piano chords. Classic breaks snap in the back while a gently acidic lead flexes in and out of focus and the resultant groove sends out a clear and cosy invitation to get loose.

A regular on Johannes Albert's Frank Music's label and Tensnake's True Romance, Claus Casper chips in with his 'No Tengo Dinero' remix - a fortified revision that packs an extra punch with a layered snare, cow bells and an open hat that seasons the groove with a little bite and snap.

Rolling snare fills punctuate the track as Claus creates ramps for sections that showcase his indisputable chops on the keys. The passion and heat of the orignal remains intact as progress tumbles towards a long, spine-tingling breakdown that pops wide open in a manner that will send the floor absolutely nuts.

NIEV - Not A

Long-time NuNorthern Soul contributor B.J. Smith is a man in constant motion. Alongside his solo output, he divides his time between playing guitar in Crazy P man James Baron’s JIM outfit, contributing to acclaimed projects such as Smith & Mudd, Bison and White Elephant, and composing for TV. With such a packed schedule, his solo releases have been scarce, the last being a stripped-back take on his Big Sur single in late 2023.It’s been even longer since Smith added to his much-loved Dedications To The Greats series, which began on NuNorthern Soul in 2013 with striking reworks of tracks by Mos Def and The Pharcyde. Later volumes saw him turn his hand to Outkast, Prefab Sprout and Soul II Soul, each treated with his signature blend of warmth and invention.
Now, five years on, Smith returns with ‘Dedications To The Greats Vol. 4’. This time he offers a “cover of a cover” – a bold reinterpretation of Billy Swan’s version of ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, itself made famous by the great Elvis Presley. The project emerged from Smith’s shared love of Swan’s recording with pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, whose plaintive, expressive touch is central to the EP. Across three distinct takes, Smith and Harvey-Whyte weave something both expansive and intimate. Leading the set is the 14-minute ‘Mother Earth version’, where rippling acoustic guitars, reverb-laden pedal steel and Smith’s wordless vocals drift into a slow, hypnotic groove. It’s a spacious journey that unfolds with languid solos, gentle percussion and hazy organ motifs, sounding worlds apart from either Presley or Swan.
The ‘Earth Heart version’ – presented in both vocal and instrumental form – takes a different path, pushing the song’s lyric and melody to the fore. Here, Tamar Osborn’s graceful flute lines intertwine with guitar and pedal steel before Smith’s heartfelt vocal enters. The arrangement swells and recedes in waves, building patiently towards a powerful close. Rounding out the release, the ‘Root Heart Instrumental’ fuses Balearic breeziness with Americana tones. Shuffling drums, sun-lit acoustic strums, warm bass and Harvey-Whyte’s pedal steel combine with Osborn’s flute to create a glowing, love-soaked sunset moment. The result is another inspired chapter in Smith’s ongoing exploration of other people’s songs – familiar yet transformed, timeless yet utterly his own.

2Q002] In FACES, Aggelos Baltas aka Anatolian Weapons delivers another spellbinding chapter in his ongoing exploration of tradition through electronics. Known for his singular ability to bridge ancient ritual and modern dancefloor hypnosis, the Athens-based producer turns his gaze once more to the roots of Greek music—this time fully reworking two timeless classics into contemporary weapons.

Released via Duas Quadras, the EP offers DJs and listeners alike two powerful tools—both deeply rooted and infinitely transportive.  

PREMIERE : Anatolian Weapons - A New Face

MM Discos marks its decade-long journey with a heartfelt compilation of over 30 tracks – a tribute to the artists who have defined its past and those who will shape its future. The label's unique identity was forged in the chaotic, all-night sessions at its Erkstrasse 19 basecamp, a freedom that evolved into a philosophy of rejecting genres in favour of pure musical instinct. This anniversary celebrates that "no rules" ethos with a three-volume "sonic tutti-frutti," beginning with a first instalment that rides a spectrum from laid-back grooves to upbeat, Balearic-tinged House rhythms.

As a highlight of the celebratory soirée, Pleasure Voyage's "Puertas Del Cielo" perfectly embodies the label's genre-fluid philosophy. The composition is a beautiful sun-drenched theme, built on a warm, undulating bassline that provides a foundation for ethereal melodies and subtly Latin-inflected percussion. Soaring synth lines evoke a sense of celestial ascent, living up to its title "Gates of Heaven," while intricate textural details and an effortlessly cool groove ensure its dance-floor potency. It’s a sophisticated and immersive listen that confirms the duo's distinctive flair for creating transportive anthems designed for open skies and open minds.

Congratulations to Da Silva & DJ Katah aka Moon & Mann!
