Mr Jones is back from a trip down memory lane, digging in deep to bring you musical funk for the mind, body and soul. Picking up from where we left off, we take it a step further into more ambiguous, emotionally complex territory. After all, these have been trying times, haven’t they?

Volume Two

PREMIERE: Papolious Jones - Let's Start Again, Shall We?

Artist: Karaba
Title: Digital Mystery
Label: Haŵs
Cat No: HAWS016
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Belly Pad
A2. Transform
B1. Digital Mystery
B2. Club Simulator

In a world characterised by the mundane, novelty is an increasingly hard-pressed experience to find. But somehow, French DJ/producer Karaba seems to know exactly how to balance the precipitous contest between technicality and innovation. 

For the 16th release on Haŵs, Karaba writes a love letter to 90s tech house and the underground Parisian scene from his home town in Lille. Sewing together intricate synths, trippy breaks and rumbling tech house loops into an abstract tapestry, the final result is a collection of dancefloor curveballs that somehow, with all the idiosyncrasies, make total sense. 

'Belly Pad’ is a sharp opener, with a never-ending spiral of kaleidoscopic grooves and instinctively plaited synths. ‘Transform’ has all the charm of a delightfully subterranean level in an old-school video game, positioning rebellious acid lines into a playful, malevolent swing. On the B-side, ‘Digital Mystery’ slips into woozy breakbeat and dark psychedelia that bubbles up through a deliciously addictive bassline and melodies that coil back into itself. To close, ‘Club Simulator’ marks itself as a thoughtful statement on the paradox of creative flow; it’s self-aware but allows itself to get lost in a sky-high trip of lofty synths and rhythms, before touching back down safely to the ground. 

The ride might at times feel like the driver’s lost control – but in reality they know exactly what they’re doing to push the edge of the thrill just at the right moments.

Tom Frankel returns to our Killer Cuts series with four bubbly, melodic house tracks which touch base at Italo and progressive trance.

The London DJ, producer, label manager and one half of TIN family duo Frankel and Harper released ‘Milestone’ EP back in April last year: a skippy house cut with a strong nostalgia for early ‘90s raves. One year on, ‘Pingers in a field’ sees Frankel focus on bubbly melodies and rich textures. 

‘Pursuit’ is a polyphonic Italo-leaning house banger driven by sumptuous claps, whilst ‘Virtual Reality’’s anthemic melody and acid textures steer more towards progressive trance. ‘Commodore’ follows suit, adding in layers of cosmic ambience that floats blissfully above an assertive tech house beat before the dynamic acidic synths on ‘Blind Date’ bounce beneath high-pitched arpeggios.

Stringy 1/2 of Primitive Needs actually removed some rubbish from my house and we begun talking about music. This EP turned up in my gmail 4 weeks later. Awesome release blending between 90s prog, electro and break beats. Expertly produced and mixed by Primitive Needs.
