I am quite sure there was a Young Marco record that went through 8 testpressings. This one wasn’t as bad but still quite frustrating but a good reminder why Skynet will always be more efficient than people! Some smartass on Discogs thinks this has been released in March already, so I guess we are only 9 months late. A proper baby even!! Don’t know how much I have to stress that Soulphiction is one of my biggest heros, a German guy who always nails the soulful sound of Chicago and Detroit like a robot himself. And his label Philpot has been a huge inspiration for Lumberjacks in Hell and Intimate Friends... parking lot Blues is finally real!!! And coming on Monday!!! I feel a lot of relief! Such a wonderful release and we were so excited for the whole time!! Glad to finally share it with you!! <3

Hailing from Manchester, the musical influences of the city in the late 80’s and early 90’s had a big effect on Carl Higson’s musical taste. From Hip Hop to Indie and Ambient to Acid House, an eclectic mixture of genres has always had an influence on his musical direction.
Enjoying the party and nightlife scenes of Manchester and Leeds, Carl began DJ’ing in the early 2000’s. Striving to play long eclectic sets, he enjoyed several years of DJ’ing on the tropical beaches of South Goa, from chilled ambient sounds at sunset through to house and techno into the night bucking the trend of the notorious psy trance scene in the area. 
His productions are always on the deeper side of electronica from having early tracks released on Italian label Ban-Off music, to putting out his own albums and EP’s on Bandcamp and more recently having releases on Manual Music/MNL, Gibbon Records, Astir and Underground Kollektiv. 
House music has always been his biggest love with deeper and melodic sounds influencing his mixes and productions. 
Carl now enjoys living in the Lake District in Cumbria, where nature and the landscapes of the fells influence his melodic productions. He regularly plays vinyl sets across the county and is also the co-founder of Electric Boutique, a bi-monthly club night held in his home town of Kendal. The night nurtures local DJ talent whilst bringing the sounds of the underground to the area.

Yaasoundbwoy aka YAAS is a Kyiv-based DJ and the founder of the Soulmates parties, which have fostered a unique community in the city. His sets are a masterful blend of house, breakbeat, disco, and funk, catering to even the most discerning listeners on the local scene. Thanks to his ability to seamlessly blend these styles, Soulmates parties have become a gathering place for like-minded individuals. Join the Soulmates community and become part of something special.

Lumberjacks in Hell has been founded in 2010. Intimate Friends followed in 2013. For some people the difference or the need for distinction between these two is quite evident but to give you an idea. Lumberjacks is always 100% for the dance floor, inspired by the music from Chicago and Detroit which is not only reflected in the Artists we release. Intimate Friends is a headier affair. Soul, Hip Hop and House are all fair game. If you check the releases next to each other both labels have a distinct sound. And maybe a certain BPM range. This isn't saying that some of the music couldn't have appeared on either label but somehow it all makes sense to me. Thanks for supporting the music and artists we are releasing and don't hesitate to get in touch! We love to hear from you,

Marcel Vogel, Amsterdam 2017

PARTY: @furcoatsydney
RADIO: @radioelectronicajena

Nick Spurway builds his sets under the ethos of “less chin stroking, more dancing”, having no trouble flipping between thumping techno, high energy disco and pumping, swingy house within the hour. Nick established his reputation as a killer DJ in his early twenties, playing for numerous parties in Eora/sydney along Oxford Street and deep in Marrickville warehouse party territory, cutting between pitch perfect, vinyl-only opening sets and late-night banging closers.

Across the last ten years, Nick has shared his sound at straight techno nights and day-long queer festivals, from tiny basement parties to 10,000 festival goers. He’s been invited to play for some of the best local and national institutions including Something Else, Loose Ends, Dark Mofo, Midsumma, SASH and the infamous Pavlova Bar parties, playing up to six hours at a time. Being continually booked at a wide range of events has helped Nick create and refine his sets; tying together his long established love of the “holy trinity” of house, disco and funk, with techno, ambient, breakbeat, dance-punk and new wave thrown in for good measure. 

By the time he moved interstate to Naarm/melbourne, Nick had teamed up with fellow DJ, producer and activist Sophie Forrest, forming the duo SWEATY, culminating in a triumphant and well-received closing set at Midsumma Carnival 2022 and co-founded Fur Coat, a "gender-bender discotheque for queers and their peers", with Sophie, Matt Jay and SVEN, throwing parties in the inner west of Sydney with a final, 8-hour party before the pandemic hit, for Sydney Mardi Gras 2020. Both these collaborations continue to the present day. When he's not throwing his own parties, Nick is seen playing alongside some of the very best of local and international talent, such as Simon Caldwell, Move D, Bicep, JNETT, Ayebatonye, Stereogamous, Efdemin, Jane Fitz, Lorna Clarkson, Art Simone, CC:DISCO! and Gavilán Rayna Russom, to name a few.

With spectacular timing, Nick moved himself south to Melbourne in 2020, before lockdowns sent everyone inside for almost two years. Undeterred by this and with no clubs to play at, Nick expanded his talents elsewhere: elevating his music production with one to one mentoring from production legend Red Rack’em as part of his groundbreaking ‘How I Program’ music production community in 2020; hosting and producing a monthly radio show ‘Radio Electronica Australia’, since 2021, and releasing his first original track in 2022.

He kept his DJ chops fresh with live streams from his living room and guest-appearances on fellow DJ’s radio shows. Instead of dropping these pandemic-era habits when clubs re-opened, Nick continues to participate in all of the above, with his popular radio show celebrating four years on the air, in February 2025, with no signs of slowing down.

When Nick began to release his first tracks, he decided to separate the DJ from the producer and a new project was created: Drama in the Sauna. His first completed track, a remix of ‘Gradient’ by Eora/sydney artist Lagoon, was released in 2021, followed by his debut EP on Blur Records in 2022, entitled ‘Hot Water Laundry Service’. In December 2023, Nick released his second EP, 'Rushall', in time for summer, with self-produced tracks 'tongue twister' and 'It's Funny' dropped in 2024 and 'Can't Sleep', produced with frequent collaborator Future Self, released on Self Control Records in January 2025.

After five years down south, Nick moved back to Eora/Sydney in early 2025, reconnecting and establishing his love for the city that made his DJing, bringing with him producing, collaborations and radio, to begin a new phase of his career as it approaches its 20th anniversary.
