With a glimmer of optimism on the horizon, we’re delighted to announce our second V/A compilation Psycho/Soma - the first of many exciting releases for 2021.

12 tracks to move body & mind, spanning a full spectrum of UK club music - from introspective, tripped-out rollers to intense percussive workouts and frantic 160(ish) action.

To accompany the release, we’re creating our first ever run of limited edition, long-sleeve, 100% organic cotton, peta-approved t-shirts, designed by UK-based independent graphic artist Alex Vissaridis.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we released our first compilation ‘Remote Access’, which has so far raised over £1000 for the Trussell Trust. We’d like to continue to use these V/As to support causes we’re passionate about, so a portion of the label’s profits for this release will be split between three prominent mental health charities who we feel are doing important work in the UK - Mind, YoungMinds & Black Minds Matter.

Tom Manzarek - Realize EP
BUY LINK: https://plaisancerecords.bandcamp.com/
Label: Plaisance Records (https://soundcloud.com/plaisancerecords)
https://soundcloud.com/tom_manzarek

Tom Manzarek is back for summer time with « Realize EP », his second EP on Plaisance Records, a four track project out the 18th of may.

Since « Courreau Groove », his first release out on Plaisance - both in digital and vinyle - label co-founder and producer Tom Manzarek has reached other steps. Collaborating with artists as Kaval, Goldie B or UK based label Bien Aimer Music, he’s now know as much for club oriented tracks as for his beats and riddim.

Calling for summer time and good time under the sun, he has produce « Realize EP » during winter time, merging his - always wider - influences to bring many sounds into one project. 

« Bruk it » is, as the name mention it, an ode to east london broken beat. « La flute enchantée » is a zouk oriented reinterpretation, infused with his own amapiano vibe. « Realise » is following his love for dub oriented beats, with house pattern and lots of dub sirens over it. To close the EP, « Deep Dive » is bringing him back to his first day, bringing house and beats together.

PREMIERE : Tom Manzarek - La Flûte Enchantée

Sumac presents three exclusive tracks from label founders DJ Plead, Jon Watts and T.Morimoto. This is the first in a series of releases dedicated to reworked material from Utility's singular 2019 release Nexus Destiny (SU005).

DJ Plead extends 'Flooot' into a hypnotic 140BPM journey; Jon Watts contextualises 'Vert Bend' against his signature hard-as-nails electro template; and T.Morimoto bends '96Khz Rapture' + 'Cloudy Choir' into a heady psychedelic mix.

Nexus Destiny is an experiment in preset aesthetics conceived by Utility (T.Morimoto and Austin Buckett) as equal parts sonic readymade, machine/human collaboration, ambient soundtrack and sample pack for fellow producers.

Stepping onto France's @monstart-crew records, @pura_pura straddles rap influences, a fervent defender of 808 rhythms, and metallic club sounds on his latest offering - a six-track EP titled 'Odyssey Club' paying tribute to different historical currents of the dance music scene.

Taking over remix duties of the record's ghettotech-influenced 'Feel The 808', @sarahfarina illuminates the track by bringing rhythm and depth, directing the sound toward a new, energetic club sphere.

Rhythm Section International curates the third instalment of SHOUTS, spanning a massive 29 tracks, it traverses a vast range of genres from contemporary R&B through to club focused cuts. Encompassing the core of Rhythm Section’s wide sonic imprint, the compilation continues to focus on up and coming producers & artists alongside more established names to shine a light on the exceptional musical talent stirring in 2022.

Bradley Zero remarks,
“ SHOUTS was only ever intended to be a one-off project to celebrate 5 years of the label, but the process of hitting up artists we respect and admire to contribute a track to a compilation ended up being a game changer for us as a label. It turns out we have so much to shout about!

In this world of over subscribed pressing plants, 6 month lead times and increasing production costs, it makes more and more sense to transition this project into the digital realm…”

SHOUTS 2022 sees the label once again travelling across the world to find the most exciting sounds, integrating itself in the emerging soul and jazz scenes of Berlin with RS debuts from Yoofee of the Moses Yoofee trio, neo soul singer Noah Slee and hip hop downtempo jazz producer S.Fidelity. The compilation also welcomes several artists from across the Atlantic including but not limited James Bangura, the DC based producer part of the Black Rave Culture Collective whose dynamic percussion driven productions have taken him on tours across the world on tours through Japan and Europe. The UK offering see’s Cosmic Slop resident billy2chips step up to the plate alongside London based DJ and producer Manami who is fresh off her tour supporting the iconic Bicep alongside talented artist Toby Cato whose work and music may be coming through very soon..

“ Whilst a few tracks on this comp are the product of longer standing relationships ( Yak, Rejoicer, Natty Wylah, Athlete Whippet, Ian DPM, Sally C) big proportion of the tracks are the fruits of Rhythm Section’’s relatively new Label Team - consisting of Emily Hill as Label Manager and Label assistant Ayiesha Smith - who graduated from intern to full on employee this year.

This new blood is reflected in the increasingly diverse mix of selections for this year's SHOUTS, ranging from the “Ori” influenced soul of newcomer Akin Soul to JuJu Rogers’ new wave of Jazzy Hip Hop emanating from Emily's adopted City of Berlin. Long story short, this is a snapshot of where we are collectively at, where we are headed and what we want to shout about.

A Facta - Ditto

From end to end the street was filled with all your wants and needs. You could get practically anything and everything here: sweet spices in beautiful packages; well-loved clothes; hordes of bric-a-brac; dusty vinyl and tapes; hot homemade dishes from all over the world. Each vendor had their own specialty or expertise; nobody stepped on anybody's toes, there was no sense of competition. They were one huge family who looked out for one another.

Dudbridge Garage International return for their last release of the year courtesy of their own co-head Chungo. Alongside fellow label boss LeftLeft, the Lisbon-based artist has moulded the label into a platform for expertly produced UK bass and garage - you'll know a Dudbridge release when you hear it. On the sixth release Chungo draws on these sounds in his own singular way. Over the course of three tracks he showcases his precision at sound design, matching signature chopped and screwed vocals with heavy bass lines and crisp, swung drum patterns.
