The LowDown Top Tracks - October 2025

Kerri Chandler joins forces with Nae (SA) for new single ‘Caged Bird’, accompanied by remixes from the widely beloved Atjazz, and Moplen.
Leading the release is the ‘Full Vocal Media Mix’ of ‘Caged Bird’, which sees Kerri Chandler lay down emotive piano melodies, organic drums and atmospheric strings alongside soulful vocal stylings from South Africa’s Nae.
Up next is the first ‘Atjazz Remix’ of ‘Caged Bird’, a nine minute cinematic excursion from the British composer, embracing the soulful fragments of the original and twisting them into a slow burning, subtly evolving nine minutes delicately detailed with sweeping echoes, reversed reverberations, crisp percussion and choppy stab sequences. An ‘Atjazz Remix Instrumental’ follows, as the name would suggest stripping away the vocals.
Last but not least to complete the package, Bergamo, Italy’s Moplen, producer for the likes of G.A.M.M. and Lumberjacks In Hell delivers his twist on ‘Caged Bird’, shifting gears into more classic house realms, infusing drifting keys, weighty low end tones and heavily swung drums and violin melodies with the original’s smooth house aesthetic.

Berlin-based Donnie Cosmo launches Shuffle Valley with a sharp, deep-cut four-tracker that weaves through groove-led house, breaks, and subtle psychedelia. 'Space Time Surfer' opens the record with fluid basslines and glistening percussion-trippy but grounded, the kind of roller that finds its mark in long, locked-in blends. 'Let Yourself Go' shifts into broken rhythm mode, laced with loose drums and warped textures before slipping seamlessly into a steady 4/4-playful, mutating, and built for curious selectors. On the flip, 'International Acid' goes inward: smoky, hypnotic and slightly off-centre, it leans into more mental terrain without losing its grip on the floor. Christopher Ledger closes with a weightless rework of 'Let Yourself Go', adding polish and negative space while staying faithful to the original's off-kilter charm. A confident first chapter for the label, and a quietly distinctive release from an artist with a clear voice.

ST. DAVID - TOUCH ME (SEXY HARD DUB) [DEFINITIVE RECORDINGS]

The Chunkers sound has gone global! Stepping up for the eighth volume of Sally C’s influential imprint is Paperkraft from Japan.

The ascendent producer in a mainstay of the Osaka scene and has been on Sally’s radar in recent times thanks to a standout EP on Physical Education that had a “real driving breaky old skool” vibe she loves. Elsewhere he’s dropped the tight ‘Not C but K’ on Homage, remixes of Gearmaster on Hidden Assets and material on Mindhelmet and Tombolo.

His contribution to the BSC cannon is thrilling from the get-go. The lead ‘Play Somethin’ Nasty’ is a natural born Chunker, bursting with attitude and sass. Simultaneously colourful, yet cohesive, it mixes up playful hip house vocals with plump b-lines and plenty of rave energy, before a squelchy bass frenzy highlights the second stanza.
‘Funky Blah Blah’ is informed by ‘90s Italo and funky house and is a cute bridging track with plenty of character.

‘Drop The O.S.B.’ is a legit fire cut that’s already become a favourite of Job Jobse after it ignited DC10 this summer. It takes the old skool rave spirit of ‘Play Somethin’ Nasty’ and amplifies it to 11, resplendent with rapid- fire raps, hoovers and a mammoth key-driven riff. ‘Let it Whip’ is a slick DJ tool that channels understated hard house energy, powered by an addictive vocal loop.

Paperkraft follows BELLA, Eliza Rose, Papa Nugs and remixes Peach and CARISTA in joining the Big Saldo’s Chukers family as Sally C delights in growing the label via a carefully curated roster of artists.
