From Jersey all the way to NYC, The Josh Craig describes himself as a musical scientist, tapping into often unfathomable or lesser recognised mental needs within his music. As an all-round creator, he is immersed in his work as a designer, publisher, illustrative artist, photographer, film-maker, music producer, DJ… the list could go on. 

Recognising the dancefloor as a place of relocation, an integral space for human beings to learn about oneself, The Josh Craig sees the existence of dancefloors everywhere. Not just in clubs, but in the living room or kitchen of a friend, on the driveway or even in the supermarket aisle; we’ve all been there. His debut album ‘Who We Are As People’ is made purposefully to offer the headspace for us to explore anywhere, anytime.  

In making this body of work, he acknowledges how the process opened him up to identify with emotions and thoughts that may have otherwise been ignored. This fact culminates in an album that is part a journey within self, but also an offering to others to begin their own, aiding them on their way. Moving through different speeds, genres and sound textures, The Josh Craig dives into the concept of Sound Healing across the album.

Informed by the composition of jazz and orchestral music, along with the raw mixing techniques found in reggae, dub-reggae, traditional chilean and even new wave, ‘Who We Are As People’ sees attention to detail come alive within his preference for atmospherics. This album pairs down the technicalities of the aforementioned genres with the best parts of ambient, minimal techno, electro and breaks. Using completely raw analogue methods, The Josh Craig plays out each album track in full takes, imagining the finished piece as if it would be played with a live band. ‘Who We Are As People’ sees an artist who does not mimic certain sounds, rather focusing on technique and a belief in sound as a deeply healing entity.

Disponible solo en digital, Call Me completa este magnifica obra de Daniel Klein alias SIRS que  trabajo a trabajo se va coronando como uno de los mayores embajadores contemporáneos del sonido Balear que ha remixeado a artistas de la talla como Dj Harvey.

As he entered he cast his eyes around the room, taking in a mirage of flickering colours and luminous buttons. He had been travelling for what had felt like a lifetime through the dense and murky undergrowth in search of the mysterious cavern. Now as he sat perched upon the rubble he truly knew his purpose.

Hiber-nation EP was Recorded at Siesta Delfauno, Buenos Aires, Argentina in December 2019. A place steeped in history and that has seen artists like Carl Craig , DJ Hell and Rob Acid grace its halls. Ara-u worked alongside engineer and member of Argentinian electronic band Klauss Pablo Gil, while getting lost in red wine and deep into the jam amongst a mix of analogue machines. Ara-u edited the resulting takes and put together the EP : Hiber-nation

Freeride Millenium label co-founder Jorkes quickly follows up his well received Wet Dream EP with a new five tracker including remixes from Younger Than Me and Curses.

Jorkes is the driving force behind the ever-excellent Freeride Millenium label, he hosts a residency at radio 80000 alongside ParisBöhm and has been busy producing and streaming over the last year, despite the pandemic. His recent ‘Wet Dreams’ release was a critical success, with BBC radio support, a raft of press coverage and a mass of DJ support, now he follows that up with this latest inventive and rugged EP of club sounds.

Opener 'All Your Juices' has snappy snares and a taught, tight groove that makes for a mechanical rhythm. It eventually grows looser with big synth sounds and vamping chords that layer in fluidly and a great sense of electronic funk. Remixers Younger Than Me are a Berlin based duo that represents a link between the old and the new. They have released on the likes of Tusk Wax and here flip the original into a dark and pulsing tune with hammering drums and edgy, trance influenced synths.

In original form, 'Dancer in the Dark' has a kinetic drum and hit combination that makes you immediately jerk your body. As the synth energy grows, celestial chords bring light and cosmic rays and take you off into the future. Dark disco don Curses then steps up with another brilliantly rugged and raw remix that layers sleazy synths into angular drums. Finally, the brilliant 'Afraid of Letting You Go' has an eerie and mysterious vibe with crashing hits and unsettling synths that make for a dystopian abandoned warehouse feel.

Once again here Jorkes has cooked up left of centre sounds that draw on synth, disco and techno in bold new ways. Artwork as always comes from the ever creative Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Following a stellar debut EP last year, Prague-based FM Label is back with a new release this March. The second release from the imprint sees FM Label founder Uncalled 4 team up with Czech artist Roman Horinek as part of their new Detente 2020 project. 

Titled ‘Enough’, the release is the second EP in a trilogy that pays homage to hip-hop and rap through the years. While part one of the trilogy was inspired by the ‘80s, part two explores ‘90s hip-hop and rap, mixing the iconic era’s sounds with contemporary influences.

The title track sees Detente 2020 team up with NYC hip-hop legend Afu-Ra (Gang Starr) and vocalist Charlie One to bridge iconic ‘90s street rap with contemporary electronic sounds and cinematic vibes. The EP also features an acapella version of the track, along with remixes from Detente 2020, DJ Schwa, Olsvangèr and Oliver Torr.

DJ Schwa goes back to the roots with an old-school, acid-laden broken-techno remix, while Prague-based artist Oliver Torr’s remix transforms the original into a slowed-down experimental track. In contrast, Tel Aviv native Olsvangèr’s remix of ‘Enough’ is a dancefloor weapon suitable for dark and sweaty clubs and summer open-air festivals.

The other original track from the EP, ‘Bucket Tube’ is a result of a collaboration between Detente and Czech Philharmonic Orchestra drummer Jakub Tengler, who played buckets, pots, pipes and other unusual objects to create the percussive track.

Norway’s Fett Burger takes ‘Bucket Tube’ on a ride through NYC with his ‘Work Out’ remix, creating the feeling of walking around the streets of the Big Apple.

Enough EP is out on March 8 on vinyl, cassette and digitally.

Tracklist:
1. Enough feat. Afu-ra & Charlie One
2. Enough (Dub Storm mix)
3. Bucket Tube feat. Afu-ra, Jakub Tengler live drums
4. Enough feat. Afu-Ra, Charlie One (Dj Schwa's Tripped Out remix)
