This one's been a long time coming and boy are we hyped to see it finally come to life. Melbourne's very own son Rudolf C steps up with his highly anticipated debut EP. 

From the jagged electro tinged 'Seattle City Light', through the drifting hazy levels of 'Blacked' and 'Pisces' to the kicked back paradise of 'Untitled Monday', Rudolf serves up a masterclass in blissed out backyard house. Undulating Juno soundscapes and warbling 303s merge seamlessly with roughed up rhythms punched through the MPC. 

This one's for the heads on the dusty trail, the midnight drive, and the pacific swells. Those in the back seat with the window down and the feet up...

Dropping late May. Pre-orders soon!

Brassica returns with a brand new 12” single for Civil Music that includes new track "Get Down" and a remix of "Tears I Can Afford" from Belfast duo Bicep. 
‘"Get Down" arrives simultaneously with ‘Nature Isn’t Mute’; a deluxe extended edition of "Man Is Deaf", the producers debut album praised by Dazed & Confused and De:Bug and nominated for Album of the Year at the DJ Mag awards. "Nature Isn’t Mute" completes the Terence McKenna quote the album was named after and contains seven additional tracks.
On "Get Down" Michael Wright shows he hasn’t lost any of that Brassica magic with a heady 6 minute workout. As the track sprawls and unfurls, various elements come in and out of play, hinting at the foundations of the Brassica sound, with Wright guiding the listener along for a joyous ride. The single is backed by a remix of album track "Tears I Can Afford" courtesy of Belfast duo Bicep who embrace the occasion fully by extending the original to 8 minutes and playing with its acid elements in fine fashion.
Happier in the shadows than under the glare of projectors, Brassica continues to refine a unique sound and approach that has made him a favorite of your favorites. Already OUT, don't sleep

Rudolf C - Blacked (Original Mix)

"Here am I your special island, come to meeee, come to meeee". Some records have a strange destiny emerging once in a while to sink again in the unending ocean of time... Bali Ha'i is the name of a mystical island somewhere in the Pacific, visible on the horizon but not reachable. Initially, the song appears in the Broadway musical South Pacific (1949) which was made into a blockbuster film in 1958. Then "Bali Ha'i" was covered by Disconnection in 1982 and released on the mighty Y Records. In the musical, the matriarch of Bali Ha’i, Bloody Mary, conducts a lot of business with the troops, and sings her mysterious song "Bali Ha’i" to the Lieutenant Joseph Cable after he arrives, because she wants to entice him to visit her island. In 2016 Unfamous Glasgow imprint Optimo Music reissues this cult and seducing "mutant" disco tune in the original configuration : Radio Mix, US Discomix and UK Discomix versions alongside the faux exotica delight “Aaaah”. The vinyl is out on June 3rd, but already "in your heart, you'll hear it call you: Come away...Come awayyy"

PREMIERE : Disconnection - Bali Ha'i (US Discomix)

MD (Michael Dykehouse) marks his debut to the D3 Elements family with the wonderfully diverse self titled LP, MD. Having previously released on labels Planet Mu, Rushhour, Ghostly International, Black Catalogue and Night Gallery, MD is given the honours of the first full length LP on the French label. From the opening dark and deep house number Wilder Penrose, with a chugging beat and delicate keys sprinkled throughout, to the electro sounds on Key Gen & Unison Dethrone and the G-Funk/Nu-jazz inspired Rat Bucks, this record showcases MD’s quality in a myriad of different styles. D3 Elements once again showcases its high quality of releases.

PREMIERE : MD - Wilder Penrose

Common Labour is an independent record label based in Helsinki, Finland. Fairly discreet over the internet since its creation in 2013, it has been releasing good physical records consistently over the years, mostly by its head honcho PothOles aka Tuomo Aslak Puranen, as well as a series of various EPs going by the name of "Odd Jobs" featuring some under the radar Finnish producers. Their newest 12" is by PothOles again, the "Polaroids EP", and we were immediately amazed by the quality of this release. Take "Feather Island" premiered here and think Scandinavian deep house with a touch of groove : warm and crisp pads, a solid percussion beat punctuated by a teasing synth bass, this is pure bliss ! Props to Common Labour for this fantastic 12" coming to you on June 6th.

PREMIERE : PothOles - Feather Island

Already winning fans and press with shows in Mexico, Kinski is an Art School graduate who has lived in New York and Belgium and has her own brand of leather products, House of Vice. As such she has outfitted the likes of Grimes and FKA Twigs, but music is her true love. A Master of many instruments and synths, she marries sweet and sour vocals with big bass and did so to perfection on her last outing, Steady Lover. This new EP finds one cut from it as well as a new remix getting a special release.
‘Kids of Your Crime’ is an upbeat tune with menace in the gritty bass and dirty guitar licks, and an infectious sense of groove in the busy drums. Catchy melodies and icy percussion adds to the breezy nature of the track and the vocals you will be singing along to in no time. It’s a real pop gem.

Close your eyes, step outside your sphere of being and find yourself in the 'Animal Empire'. This afro inspired jungle techno swings with a dubby melody and hypnotizing bells while the driving bassline enhances the macumba vibe. For those affected by swirling sonics beware the vertiginous breakdown, where all seems lost for a brief moment of madness.
