‘You’re only as young as you feel’, they always said. She firmly believed that to be true. No matter how many birthdays passed or how many new lines appeared on her face, she felt the same as she did at 21. Her passion for life and love remained, so did her need for adventure and new experiences: she knew whatever was thrown her way, she’d always be young at heart.

Next up on London's Of Paradise, they welcome Warsaw duo Private Press for their label debut as part of their White Label series. Having previously released EPs for the likes of Indigo Aera, REKIDS and Ziema, alongside fellow Polish producer Earth Trax, they deliver another full throttle take on 90s rave and techno across four tracks. Young At Heart is yet another bold and euphoric release that's driven by their shared love of hardware.

Inspired by Aldous Huxley's dystopian science fiction novel 'Brave New World', Alva Recek's Soma EP traces its theme of social hierarchy and control... where a world government tries to prevent its people from thinking and speaking freely with the use of a legal drug that is provided daily. To maintain the stability of their forcefully engineered world, authorities encourage the constant consumption of the drug Soma, ensuring the population remains passive and soothed. In the lives of the citizens, if anything should feel wrong, they have Soma to block stressful situations such as pain, grief and anger, and yet the user is completely normal, oblivious to any sort of negative side effects. Soma, supplied in its various strengths, is the perfectly tailored distraction.

The Soma EP outlines characteristics of four hypothetical variations... the softness of the white variety, the moderate dose of yellow, leading to the stronger concentration of orange and finally the ultimate effect of Soma red.

Alva Recek's roots trace back to golden era 80s & 90s hip hop and rave culture, significant backdrops to her progression from a young rapper to a dedicated producer working in numerous genres.
With past collaborations in electronica, jazz fusion and hip hop, and a track recently released on Bass Agenda, Alva comes immersed legit deep in heady electro for this debut EP.

Soma EP

PREMIERE: Alva Recek - Soma yellow [Woodwork Recordings]

From early residencies at weekly student nights in Glasgow to playing a pivotal role behind the scenes at La Cheetah Club, Big Miz has been immersed within the city's walls since he was a teenager. Weekends spent crafting his sound behind the booth and creating lifelong friendships at the city's famous after-hours scene have helped create an ecosystem for success. In Glasgow, even larger labels are always keen to support local talent and during one of his frequent visits to Rub A Dub Records, Big Miz was introduced to Dixon Avenue Basement Jams which eventually led to the release of his first EP.

Miz has carried this Glasgow courtesy throughout his whole career, which eventually led to connecting with HOMAGE label head Ryan Clover where they exchanged feedback and spins before locking down a release on the label's heavy schedule. The New York based label's ethos shares parallels to Glasgow's - collaborative, fluid, and always ready to party.

Title track 'Where I Belong' wastes no time on introductions, combining a range of hardware and software into a kaleidoscopic recording created for peak time. 'Everything's Fine' demonstrates Miz's knack for groove and melody, where classic acid sounds meet demanding stabs and an irresistible groove. Inspired by early house records, 'The Feeling' makes its presence felt with chunky kick drums and uplifting vocal samples; Big Miz's attention to detail and years of dancefloor education shines through, first establishing a hypnotic introduction and powerful transitions that have us hooked from the first bar.

The EP is beautifully rounded off by LUXE's remix of the title track 'Where I Belong', following on from her standout EP on the beloved label Planet Euphorique. LUXE swaps rolling kick drums in favor of breakbeats and an ethereal backdrop. The space between musical elements is key, allowing us to breathe as our perspective shifts high above the city's clouds.
