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?

Honey Badger Records seemingly keeps piling on the heat year after year. The label, which was founded in 2014 by JNS is one of the oldest and most well-known record labels in Seoul. The releases on the label to date straddle the line between house and techno, while maintaining a clear sense of forward-thinking dance music.

For Honey Badger’s latest release, they are re-joined by South Korean producers Wooseok Choi and Minseop Lee, collectively known as Two Tone Shape, with their Every Minute EP. The EP, which marks the first release of the 2022 for both Honey Badger Records and Two Tone Shape, showcases the impressive depth of the duo’s live-programmed productions. Each track on the EP features a unique sonic flare, ranging from expansive breakbeat, deep & slow-burning house, as well as rave-leaning techno. 

The second track of the record keeps up the introductory pace set by the opener. Persistence of X is an expertly crafted house music gem. The bassline conveys an indisputable bounce while nestled between a kick that drives the groove home. Two Tone Shape pays homage to classic rave samples yet keeps things interesting with synthesis magic that the duo seems to do again and again.

This release continues the positive trajectory that both Honey Badger Records and Two Tone Shape are on.

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.

FADE IN: EXT. POOLSIDE AT A MODERN HOME IN COSTA MESA, CA 
CAMERA holds an aerial view of the pool and we see a man underwater rising closer and closer to the surface. 

TITLE CARD: HARRISON BDP - “NEED YOU HERE” A man, standing on a white marble platform in a lime green speedo, rises above the water’s surface as the song builds from drums toward the first instrumental stylings. The man, glowing in the sun and dripping wet, sticks his hand forward as if holding a jug, and a burst of CGI magic makes a pitcher of Aperol spritz appear in his grip. 

RYAN CLOVER (Exhaling) AHHHHHHH. That’s the stuff.

RYAN tips the pitcher of Aperol spritz over his head. 

CAMERA CLOSE UP on Ryan’s face as the liquid covers the head region. In slow motion, the camera moves all the way to his feet and shows the liquid turning to bright red sludge as it hits the surface of the water. 
The song breaks into a more heads down groove full of your favorite proggy lasers and genre-specific blips, blops, and bloopies. 

CAMERA CLOSE UP on Ryan unmoving and staring intently at the sludge.

CAMERA ZOOM OUT to show the red sludge forming into what appears to be a body. It grows and becomes more human like by the second.

“NEED YOU HERE” pulsates, moving like a cool breeze over the crowd of an open air festival. 

CAMERA DOLLY IN on the sludge man, who appears to be UK Legend Harrison BDP. 

HARRISON BDP (In a deep and questioning tone) Did you order this banger?

CAMERA DOLLY OUT. Staging shot of both men. Ryan, looking at Harrison inquisitively. . 

RYAN CLOVER I sure did, amigo. Why don’t you slap that right here. 
Ryan turns slightly, raises his hip, and exposes a soft and pasty white ass cheek. At this point the song is at a peak. Ethereal in-motion pads give way to a final burst of percussive radiance. Controlled but bumping. 

HARRISON BDP Allow that, bruv. Get away.

DOLLY OUT ON BOTH MEN staring intently into each other’s eyes. Ryan challenging Harrison to make his move. Harrison trying to defeat Ryan’s challenge. 

A SERIES OF QUICK CLOSE UPS on each man’s facial expressions, clenched fists, speedo crotch, wiggling toes. Rapid close ups on those various things in random order in a trip sequence. Psychedelic colors flashing on the screen as the sequence becomes more chaotic.

Relentless and elusive french producer NairLess reveals his first solo EP released on the first vinyl of the label he co-founded, Aurore 404.
Two breakbeat-y groovers, a cosmic, fast-paced remix by Sichuan, and a slice of acido-disco to finish it off...

The first track of the EP, 'Pawn Checkmate', takes us directly into a colourful and hypnotic universe. The track is marked by a punchy break beat with a marked and surgical snare. But the elements that really stand out are the sparkling arpeggiators, which introduce us to the trip with a soaring melody full of positive energy.
