The Northern England up and comer on the tip of everyone’s tongue, Josh Butler, drops the ‘No Frills’ EP via Kerri Chandler’s MadTech Records this March.

Josh Butler’s been steadily bubbling away on the British underground for quite some time now, and it seems 2014 is going to see Butler truly shine with a busy touring schedule already locked in for the year. Material on Love Not Money and OFF Recordings further brought to light Josh’s talents and now the Leeds based producer joins the MadTech roster, following the footsteps of Celsius, Mia Dora and No Artificial Colours in the rise to stardom.

Kicking off the single is title track ‘No Frills (Dub)’, which sees Butler play off a rugged, strippedback rhythm, built around a classic 4/4 foundation, while popping percussion, warbling dub-tinged bass and infectious vocal murmurs meander around the drums. Creating a hypnotic, undeviating groove, given an even more striking affect when menacing synth sweeps draw the attention away from it sporadically. The end result is a refined contemporary roller designer for the dance floor.

Then on the latter half of the single we have ‘Like This’, staying on a similar tip with loose beats and shuffling snares driving the record. While a hooky sub bass drives the energy and an undeniably catchy vocal line uttering ‘the beat goes like this’ adds a further widespread, modern appeal to the cut.

Josh Butler’s ‘No Frills’ EP is out on MadTech Records 3rd March (Beatport Exclusive) and 17th March (General) 2014.

This April, house and techno mainstay Loco Dice is stepping out with En Couleur, a brand new label reserved exclusively for his own music.

En Couleur, means "in colour" in French, and has been chosen because of the language's association with love, but also, says Loco Dice, because "colour stands for the diversity of cultures I absorb and artists I meet on my life journey. Lots of things I do in my life appear in colour. The music I produce is like my movie in technicolor, and the music I play is sorted by colour in my crates and folders."

En Couleur is about music that will not be controlled by traditional plans and strategies. It is for music that will be shared as and when it is ready, and will become a platform for all sorts of collaborations with friends and different artists. Of course, the Dusseldorf man behind it has already accomplished so much, from critically acclaimed albums and EPs on his Desolat label to sell out world tours, major label releases and plenty of key residencies. He has long been synonymous with a big, hard hitting house and techno sound that is well informed by his life-long love of hip hop, and with this new label proves he is as keen as ever to evolve, adapt, and explore new musical forms.

En Couleur launches with a superb solo EP from Dice himself, then keeps up a busy rate of release with four further EPs planned before the end of the year. The first offering opens with 'Sweet Nectar Blossom', a fresh track with jazzy chords and well swung bass that gets you in the groove. Muffled vocal sounds and clipped keys all bring a late night feeling of romance and playfulness. 'Kanak Funk' has crisp Chicago drums run through with woozy pads and thoughtful keys. It's a deep, hugely atmospheric track that is as much for the headband heart as the heel. Last of all, 'Believe In Me' is another lush house track with spiritual leads that drift off to the heavens and smooth drums and bass that brim with real warmth and soul.

Hot Since 82 & Habischman - Leave Me (Moda Black)

We welcome Midlands-born DJ and producer, Citizenn, to Nic Fanciulli's Saved Records this month with brand new single, 'Stay With Me', accompanied by a killer remix from label favourite, Black Circle. Taking his name from a passing visual reference in the Manga film Akira, Citizenn, has seen releases on labels including Knee Deep In Sound, W&O Street Tracks, Mobilee, &Friends, Kaluki, Do Not Sleep and ABODE, and his DJ travels have taken him all over the world, from big festivals such as Hideout in Croatia to the Techno legend that is Berghain. 'Stay With Me' is indicative of Citizenn's unique sound, fusing together rolling percussion, moody melancholic vocals, dark and brooding synth lines all held together with an infectious bassline over ominous atmospherics. Black Circle's remix puts a different spin on the record bringing a more tribal feel to the track offering laidback drum grooves, hypnotic melodic loops, shuffling hats, intricate piano melodies and a grooving low-end to create nothing short of an Afro House masterpiece.
