PREMIERE: Inland Knights - Like This (Di Saronno On The Rocks)

Frederik Hendrik returns to Pomme Frite with the Stoer EP — two cosmic excursions blurring house and disco. The title track struts with slick nostalgia, inspired by childhood days of “stoer” style and swagga, while B-side 'Het Verleeden' (The Past) beams shimmering synths and hypnotic rhythms straight onto the floor. Playful, interstellar, and built for dancers.

PREMIERE: Tree Threes - Love You Forever [Soul Quest]

'Don't Turn Your Back On Me feat. Pauline Taylor' originally featured on US house innovator and Basement Boys co-founder Teddy Douglas's ‘I’m Here’ album in late 2024. It's a true soulful house anthem with funky bass and a glorious vocal that was primed for a A-list remix package. Douglas himself opens up this package with joyous organ chords and soft melodies lighting up the smooth, seductive drums. Swiss DJ and producer Shaka goes next as an artist who has spent decades blending acid, Chicago, and Detroit influences into his own tunes on top labels like Nervous, GooD MooD, and Mister Bear Records. His 12-inch Club version strips things back to go deep and dubby before rebuilding with sunny melodies, expressive organs, and proggy guitar licks that bring joyous energy and real dance floor unity.

BBC Radio 1 GUESTMIX - D Stone | 08.09.2025

Mike Sandcastle steps up for the eighth instalment on the Jolene Records imprint this October, comprising four original cuts from the UK artist.

Blackpool-born house producer Mike Sandcastle is fast emerging as one of the UK’s most distinctive new electronic voices, blending raw club energy with an intricately sampled, filter house aesthetic. Rooted in the vibrant sounds of classic house yet unafraid to experiment with modern techniques, Sandcastle channels the spirit of the underground into tracks that feel both timeless and forward-thinking and have found a home on the likes of Midnight Riot, The Discography Lessons, SHEE's Secret Society and of course Jolene where he returns here.

Leading the release is ‘Party With Me’, a five-minute excursion through disco licks, emotive vocals, choppy sample work and sweeping filters, intertwined with a bouncy bass groove and skippy rhythm section. ‘Love Takes Two’ follows next and fuses phased out sweeping synth lines and soaring vocals with plucked bass notes and a saturated drum groove.

‘When I’m With You’ opens the B-side and dives headfirst into choppy sample work as perfectly looped guitars, pitched vocal chants and driving low end intertwine with crisp percussion. ‘Whistle’ then concludes the EP on a deeper tip, laying focus on organic drum sounds, a snaking bass line, cinematic strings, jazzy melodies and a breathy spoken word vocal.

MELON BOMB - CABASA

Since Good Vibrations Music doesn't release much on vinyl these days, the Bristol-based label's occasional compilation style EPs are a genuine must-check. McCabe naturally features prominently throughout. He begins by joining forces with Black Sonix to rework 'Rise' by the Matsiko World Orphan Choir's 'Rise', wrapping dreamy pads, twinkling piano improvisations and heady Rhodes solos around a tactile Latin house groove, before going solo and a rich and soulful rework of Missfly and David Bailey's 'Baby Don't Make Me Wait'. Over on side B, McCabe and Ellis Dee doff a cap to classic US garage on a wonderfully deep dub of 'Got It Bad', before Last Nubian steals the show with the soulful broken beat brilliance of 'Dance Together'.

THE MATSIKO WORLD ORPHAN CHOIR - RISE [BLACK SONIX & SEAN McCABE EXTENDED MIX]

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.
