Broken District is the label launched by the creative minds of Jus Jam, Momla & Antwan. Starting up in 2018, the roster has included acts like SofaTalk, Real, J., Sam Irl, Turbojazz, Marian Tone, System Olympia, Junktion, Leon Revol, Setwun, Duktus, Jeppe Wolmer, Interface Palm, Jus Jam & Momla themselves. Here Broken District present their next collaboration with Slowaxx, the solo project and live band created by Riccardo Chiarucci, producer, arranger, and composer from Tuscany. His debut long player ‘Shapes Interfusion’ is a blend of home studio production and live recorded sessions that incorporate lo-fi, hazy jazz, mind-warping electronica, with lashings of hip-hop swagger. It was recorded with a host of dedicated session musicians, and rapper Young A.M.A. 
Opener ‘Emoyeni’ - Zulu for wind, soul, and spirit - is a handful of thoughts fluttering about in the air, expressed via a Rhodes jam played by Luca Sguera, conversing with sharp electronic drums. ‘Y.B.A’ is an electronic jazz session featuring Young A.M.A, his provocative and ego-driven lyrics adding a complexity to the already atmospheric production. ‘Femmes’ is a tribute to women and a timely appeal against gender inequality. Featuring words from Emma Watson, against a backdrop of soulful rhythms & beats, and 90s sampled drums.
‘Pantere Rosee’ and ‘Stazione Funk’ complete both sides with their own unique aesthetic. The first offers up a pure Rhodes, bass & synth jam that is built on a foundation of some wildly acoustic drums. The latter moving in the opposite direction with deconstructed samples of more 90s drums pattens, acid lines and grooves. Closing out, Young A.M.A. returns on ‘No Secret, his easy flow openly expressing views on hip-hop, while the instrumental travels high up into a star filled galaxy with its multi layered keys floating above the incredibly heavy bassline played by Jury Maccianti.

Martin Horntveth, otherwise known as Norwegian electronica producer Gouldian Finch - returns with an exceptional remix package featuring some of the most exciting and talented Norwegian, electronic music talent. Taking on the remix duties for his album track “Natas Kaupas” is none other than nu-disco royalty Lindstrøm and rising electronic talent Pow Pow.


Written in inspiration and named after one of Martin’s favourite skateboarders, Gouldian Finch explains that Natas Kaupas is “mainly based on a bass riff that can be perceived in two different tempos and about 50/50 of the band members play the tempo that sounds right in their head.“


The original track is a testament to the creativity and unique approach Martin takes to making music, passionately breaking down sonic boundaries of what “should” be done. Lindstrøm of course, then gives the track an exceptional Nu-Disco makeover in true Norwegian style. He explains he “wanted to try to strip it down to the bone and then rebuild it with a few but selected musical components. I ended up using a lot of the bassparts, the lovely strings plus of course Martin's drums. I am very satisfied with the resultant think it has become an interesting contrast to the original without losing the intense nerve, essence and soul of the original recording” - Lindstrom


With the Pow Pow remix, you can hear the lower tempo electronica building throughout the track. The strings are still prevalent, but theres a more laid back feel to the remix. Pow Pow explains “Our remix is a musical homage to the Oslo disco and the era when Oslo was the world’s epicentre of electronic dance music.The remix is built around the “disco strings” from the original and a RolandJuno106. To be invited into Martin’s musical universe, fantastic and bonkers as it is, has been so cool!” - Pow Pow

It was only when I decided to put everything I love into the same pot that it clicked, and it made sense to release the music.

Oslo's deep house hero Henrik Villard returns with a new EP ‘Going Down’ on Snick Snack Music.

Henrik Villard's local scene success has rather burgeoned in recent years, with his name now making a mark on the international stage. His music has come on labels like Beatservice and Mhost Likely and blends classic and golden-age sounds with new school production techniques, lo-fi samples and groovy bass that carries listeners to the stars.

Opener 'Birdcall' does just that with its pulsing synth lines spraying about over surging house drums that are sure to lift the dance floor off its feet. Rich pads flesh out the details and make this one as emotive as it is dynamic. 'Going Down' brings plenty of psychedelic colour as sublime synth sequences rain down over the crisp, broken drum patterns. It's got a future disco feel that is impossible not to love. 'Redlight' is more loose and playful as the synths dance about with real soul and the prickly drums undulate to perfection. It's a perfect fusion of astral colour and human warmth that brings the dance floor together and closes the release in style.

Villard once again combines genuine musicality with a real understanding of dance floor grooves on this fresh new EP.

PREMIERE : Henrik Villard - Going Down

Released in 1989, 'Once Bitten' is the lone single from Kim Yaffa, an LA singer once signed to the Hollywood indie label Macola Record Co. Not long after recording this single, Yaffa shelved her music career and moved on to other aspects of the business, but she has become a cult figure amongst those who knew her work. 'Once Bitten' has only ever been available on 7" before now and is an effortlessly classy pop tune with hints of 80s blue-eyed soul and Sade-inspired sounds that lend it a timeless Balearic feel. Copies of the original 7” have been changing hands for as much as $2,000 online in recent years. Hence, this is a genuine bit of musical treasure. Says Kim about the release, "In the Late 80s Los Angeles had so much going on musically. After singing on a couple of records on Macola Records and backgrounds for other artists, I was searching for my sound, trying to find my footing as a songwriter and performer. I connected with a producer who seemed to get what I was going for and we hired Richard Elliot from Tower of Power at the time for that sexy horn sound, and we recorded Once Bitten and Lights of LA at Larrabee Sound. I think I was really into what Sade and Taylor Dayne were doing at the time, that jazzy vibe! We pressed the songs to a 45 and soon after were kind of forgotten about." Remixer Michael David is a member of the influential Los Angeles-based group Classixx, has released music on Cascine Records and worked with Holy Ghost!, Meyer Hawthorne, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. His version adds oodles of echo and reverb, slows things down and makes it a more trippy affair with languid lead guitars that bring a seductive and sleazy feel. London-based production duo and Record Mission label founders Nick the Record and Dan Tyler have vast DJ experience between them. Nick runs the Tangent party with John Gomez, and Dan Tyler is one-half of the legendary Idjut Boys. Their remix is perfectly sunny, primed and ready for open-air dancing with its exquisite flutes. The soulful original vocal is left to roll and will ensure this one becomes a real Balearic anthem. 'Lights of LA' is a second original from Yaffa that oozes low-key 80s charm. It has steamy sax and vocals and lush acoustic guitars, all irresistibly tingling the senses. 

New Islands will focus on the forgotten cross-genre and cross-cultural music of the 80s, 90s, and 00s, connecting them with the future. This first project is a superb one to get it underway.

Vicious Charm is the Brighton-based independent label setup by Damian Harris, formerly of Skint Records, to champion exciting artists and sounds that move him, with an artist roster that includes the brilliant JIM, E.R. Thorpe, Crooked Man, A Mountain Of One, and now A.B. HABIBI.
 
A.B. HABIBI is the artist name of Edinburgh-based Aymen Bensaad. A passionate music maker, Aymen has grown up in Leith, honing his sound and sharing formative experiences alongside a wave of talented artists he is proud to call friends and collaborators. He shares a studio (The Dungeon) and more with close comrades Young Fathers and Callum Easter, and his sound is naturally reflective of the environment, instruments, and sessions they all share. Born to Tunisian parents, Aymen spent summer holidays with his father in Jendouba soaking in the Tunisian spirit, culture and heritage that is woven through his music, combining with everything he knows and is surrounded by in Edinburgh – his home – to forge raw and purposeful songs.
 
Tunisian in body and soul, Scottish in heart and mind, the latest signing to Vicious Charm Recordings presents his debut double A-side release ‘Helfy Mission / Mother Africa’. Two extended electronic jams to play loud. Heavy and minimal, dark and chuggy. Made with machines. Made with heart

Ransom Note Records sub label Insult To Injury are delighted to welcome back analogue techno pioneers Buran with their second full length excursion for the label, in the form of The Hunter EP. Born of the mechanical machinations of Joe Wretham and Ian Scott, their latest instalment of furious face melters is aimed squarely at the post midnight dancefloor, bubbling away with squelchy 303 potions and black magic beats.

First single, Alnitak, opens the EP and immediately we’re confronted with Buran’s inimitable modus operandi; slash and burn Acid Techno with a scorched earth ethos. A full frontal assault of acidic sorcery, lobbing techno bangers over the ramparts as the castle walls are pummelled. Hold onto your hats, it’s not for the faint of heart!

Alnilam is next out the gate, ricocheting off the armour plating of its enemies, bouncing along and razing everything in its path to the ground. We’re delivered brief respite from the brutality with the addition of some celestial vocal edits, whose angelic timbres provide juxtaposition to the synthetic onslaught. As the smoke clears, the penultimate Mintaka glides into view. Wonderfully barbed, but gloriously lush chords propel the track forward, over a bed over automaton drum machines and staccato blips, bleeps and swirling noise.

Rounding off, ITI are hyped to have the mighty Void Complet on remix duties. Fresh off the back of his breakthrough release on CHOBU Records, London based super producer Chog Burley takes Alnitak and reimagines it in his own image. Launching with a rich, metallic arpeggio, we’re drawn into an analogue dream, before realising that’s all a ruse. We have been lulled into a false sense of security, because we’re about to be clattered around the head by that savage 303 riff from the original. We’re caught in the crossfire as glitched vocals and bit crushed acid lines vie for dominance. This correspondent knows not how to fully encapsulate the terror of this remix… watch out dance floors around the world!

The beach was crowded, the good folks from out of town had decided that today was the day to descend upon the pearly shores and celebrate as if the sun was taking its final breath. This wasn't the city that he knew though. He knew of another side of town...

San Diego was the name given to the front facing extravaganza which was beach parlours and candy floss. San Diago were the streets which sat behind the glimmering facade, where the real people lived and had fun once the darkness had fallen.

They lived on street corners, laughed and hung out as the stars flickered up above. Really it all belonged to them.
