Run Dem music video > https://youtu.be/O5lDbFS9aV0

Run Dem is about Running things in a positive way. Spreading positive vibes and a feeling of brotherhood through the crowd. A grievance against the cold and grim world surrounding us. A live transmission from deep within the heart of darkness jungle.

UK based nigerian Magugu’s deep voice and meaningful lyrics beautifully fit Dj Mellow’s perfect mix of afro, bashment and uk funky. A menacing tone keeps a tension throughout without ever losing it’s funky edge. This dark afro roller comes with remixes by Famous Eno, longtime Lowup affiliate and known for his work on Swing Ting & Mixpak. He strips it to it’s bare essentials for maximum impact. Dry, minimal & hard-hitting.
Rolv. K, Genève based new kid on the block slightly speeds things up and emphasizes the afro side of things.   

Run Dem already played on Boiler Room, Rinse FM, BBC radio 1, NTS, Soho Radio, Bruzz, Kiosk, ... 
Early support by Sinjin Hawkes & Zora Jones, Roska,Toddla T, De Grandi, Swing Ting, More Time family, Nina Las Vegas, Emily Dust, Tommy kid, Poirier, Gafacci, Sylvère

wristboi - br1ng w3rk

Following on from a ferocious start to the year with “Machete / 777”, Club Romantico steps into fine form with the labels head honchos first official solo release in almost 4 years. Florentino has been hinting at a new sound for a long while now & its clearest manifestation arrives on the 28th of April in the shape of ‘Xcuse Me / Loka”. 

Florentino brings some of the influences from his youth to the forefront here - with his father heavily involved in the Manchester acid house scene & his mother, with her own in-depth knowledge of different strands of latin dance music, also working in Manchesters club scene after first emigrating from Bogotá - the sounds of Madchester, an era gone by, echo equally alongside the sounds of early Nurican / Latin house here. 

The artist manifests these sounds in a somewhat freaked manner, mischievous & seductive in equal parts, ‘Xcuse Me’ channels runway energy with cries to push the decibel levels further & further only for the listener to be told “Tu no sabes lo que hay aqui” . On the flip, Loka wears its Latin house influence on its sleeve, running through what feels like a million vocal chops of old Nurican records - only to be destroyed through the lense of skeletal Dembow & Guaracha with a structure that feels somewhat like a club mega-mix. Both are drum workouts with a twist, confident in their execution & unruly in nature.

Florentino - Xcuse Me

The Rogue Cuts label boss steps up to the plate for our first ever EP release. His first offering since 'Golden Wings'—an EP that came out almost 3 years ago now—Recluse offers a pair of harsh & heavy hard drum weapons.

Soaring Drum flies from a rolling club tool into something more; shimmering synth melodies & stabs entwine with the likes of manipulated bird sounds & heavy tom hits.

Stream/Download BJF | Pressure 🔗 orcd.co/bjf-pressure

Pressure is the third EP from Parisian DJ and producer BJF (@djbjf). It follows Iridescent and Uprooted, released in 2020 and 2022. A key member of the collective, label, and media Couvre x Chefs, BJF has released original tracks on several record labels (Lowup, Egregore, XXIII, Sacrilejio Records, Météo ) and a bunch of thoughtful edits. His productions have been played on Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM, Rinse France, Hör, BBC, Reprezent, etc.

Just months after the acclaimed Uprooted, BJF is back on the label arm of Couvre x Chefs with an explosive three-track EP ready to sweat clubs and shake festivals. Entitled Pressure, this one reinforces the style of BJF which he refines release after release: resolutely club percussive titles, punctuated with characteristic ad-libs, increasingly (re)worked vocals, and sharp melodies. On the percussion side, the producer from Greater Paris finely selects cuts with precision and reassembles to the millimeter the most boiling rhythms from the four corners of the planet. The result is by nature unclassifiable - post club, hybrid club, or global club - but promises to make everyone agree on the dancefloors of Melbourne to Saõ Paulo via Paris or Berlin.

Couvre x Chefs’ next release is an EP titled Cross Rhythm, the work of Parisian producer and DJ @anyoneID. After solo releases from Scarlett and BJF - and two compilations - this EP marks the label’s first publication produced by a producer outside the collective. Cross Rhythm consists of two tracks, “Gobelet Drum” and “Glass Perc”, remixed by CxC members Næja and Tim Karbon respectively.

Despite their anything but obvious affiliations, the tracks that make up Cross Rhythm show anyoneID’s ability to draw on his rich background as a producer, abstract his influences and convert them into unstoppable missiles ready to pulverize any dancefloor. Playing between darbouka tinged with Hard Drum, reinvented Afro House, technoid Trance, epic percussion and oppressive melodies, anyoneID delivers here two hybrid dancefloor bombs, without concessions and brutally unclassifiable.

"In music, a cross rhythm is a specific form of polyrhythm. It refers to a situation where the rhythmic conflict found in polyrhythms is the basis of an entire musical piece.", explains anyoneID.

Bio

Parisian producer and DJ anyoneID offers a range of captivating sounds. His hybrid music, resolutely powerful and club-oriented, sees him mix afro-house, Brazilian funk or reggaeton with electro, bass music and even trance influences. After releases for Nadsat (Because Music) and Blanc Manioc, productions for Bagarre, Yelle and XL Mad, anyoneID recently launched the duo Kass Kass Rizer with Asna, whose first EP was released on More Time Records.

Track by track

“Gobelet Drum” opens the EP with different derbouka patterns boosted by a severe line of kicks. After a break and a striking rise, trance flights add a dramatically festive dimension to the rhythmic combo.

During the endless build-up that constitutes “Glass Perc”, anyoneID progressively layers rhythmic layers, percussive patterns and other vocal samples, creating a state of relentless trance calibrated for the dancefloor.

On the remix side, Næja, who appeared for the first time on our compilation CxC Vol. 2, transforms “Gobelet Drum” into a minimalist deep dubstep attack tinged with breaks and roaring bass. “Glass Perc” is passed to the Tim Karbon percussive mill, which retains the tension of the original piece by adding an infernal burst of drums of all kinds, a trademark of the Montreuil producer.

[PREMIERE] DJ Mellow & Magugu - Run Dem (Rolv K Remix) [Lowup]

READ MORE -- https://www.dummymag.com/new-music/premiere-famous-eno-dj-mellow-run-dem/

Belgium’s Lowup Records today release ‘Run Dem’, which sees the link-up between France/Belgium-based DJ Mellow and UK-based Nigerian vocalist Magugu (who featured on a track with Rukus recently). “‘Run Dem’ is about running things in a positive way,” the label says. “Spreading positive vibes and a feeling of brotherhood through the crowd. A grievance against the cold and grim world surrounding us. A live transmission from deep within the heart of darkness jungle.” Swing Ting/Mixpak affiliate Famous Eno has stepped in for the rework – which we’re premiering below – offering up a cut laced with delicate jabs of bass that allows space for Magugu’s gruff tones. It certainly doesn’t disappoint, showcasing the kind of driving, rhythmic sensibilities that’s made Famous Eno a producer so in demand.
