Soup To Nuts w/ Scratcha - NTS

Last year, Jamz Supernova launched a brand new club series via her label, Future Bounce, turning to dancefloor sounds. Kicking off volume 2 of the series is The Busy Twist who first approached the label as part of their competition late 2020 and opened the dialogue to sign him for the next round of releases. Speaking of the collaboration, Jamz says, “we couldn't be happier to kick off vol 2 of the Club series with an esteemed producer such as The Busy Twist! These tracks embody everything we love, perfect for the club but inspired by the African Diaspora, showcasing The Busy Twist at his best!” 

Formerly a duo until 2015, The Busy Twist is headed by DJ and producer Oliver Williams, riding solo. Remaining rather elusive until now, he is ready to make his mark as the mastermind behind the vibrant music offerings they have become so known for. Always looking to join the dots between Afro, Latin and UK Bass, this new EP continues in that vein with an added splash of heads-down rave energy. Oliver aka The Busy Twist says of the records “ I wanted to create something that brings the listener back to the centre of a gig at prime time and recreate that nostalgic feeling of my early releases. I decided to go back to Ghana which was an integral part of the early Busy Twist sound. A visit to the Labadi Warriors and a jam session ended up being the components for “World Of The Spirits.” Already road tested in Jamz’ BBC Radio 1 ‘Essential Mix’, these tracks are primed and ready to be unleashed to the world.

DO NOT DISTURB

IT'S US (feat. Lil Yachty)

True child of the soulseek generation, @pura_pura 's roots crawl deep into juke and footwork, via Miami bass, gangsta rap and bass-loaded contemporary club. Currently one of France’s fastest rising beatmaker, this daredevil drops bangers-only sets over the country as well as regular appearances on Rinse and Pinata Radio, always spiced with his hyper club edits of Ice Spice to Kraftwerk via Yussef Dayes.

Using soundscapes and noises recorded on his iPhone between his flat and music studio in Montpellier, these 5 tunes are shaped around a particular time of a contemporary club night, from punchy house to peak time breaks. This for-the-club release is Pura Pura’s debut on Global Warming Records, and an obvious connection from people who love building constant bridges between UK and France.

PREMIERE | BJF - Voltage [Couvre x Chefs]

Baltimore's rising star JIALING returns to Clasico (Local Action sibling label), following her 'FREAKY HORNS' EP (one of the biggest dance tracks of 2024, called "song of the Summer" by Resident Advisor, DJ support from Pangaea, Bradley Zero, Nikki Nair, Miley Serious, Jossy Mitsu and more). 

Here she teams up with rising West Coast star Farsight, who has previously released on Rinse, Scuffed, Cloudcore & Dusky's 39 Steps label, for a stripped back, direct new club record - heavy on the breaks and carnival vibes.

Dub You Right

Two Little Boys meanwhile, was inspired after seeing two young boys aged around 11 or 12 "stuffing chicken and cornbread down their tasteless mouths, trying to revive shrinking lungs and a wasted mind." They'd walked into Sylvia's soul food restaurant in Harlem, ordered big meals, then bolted them down and run out the door. No one chased after them, knowing that they probably hadn't eaten in days. Fifty years later and children are still going hungry in major cities across America and elsewhere. Abiodun's poem hasn't lost any relevance at all, and neither has New York, New York, The Big Apple. "Although this was written in 1968, New York hasn't changed a bit," he admits, except "today, people just mistake her sickness for fashion."

The Bristol-DMV connection builds as Hodge and JIALING remix a track each from Om Unit & James Bangura’s Rushing 1621 EP.

Hodge has been releasing gold for years – but it feels like he’s on a rich vein of form even for him right now, doing his part for diva vocals on new single ‘Free’ and collaborating with Nakamura Minami on a release for Tokyo’s TREKKIE TRAX. Range, people! He goes heavy on the delay and takes ‘Angles’ deep into the sunset tech-house (as in, proper tech-house) zone.

JIALING meanwhile builds on her recent run of anthems for our Clasico sibling label, flipping between breaks and 4x4 drums with itchy baile funk signifiers and airhorns for the late night crew. Does J ever miss?
