Today, LA producer and underground dance-fantasy legend @benedek_music announces his new EP, and Apron Records debut, “Zebrano” - out 30th September 2022. The EP features vocals from DC's dreamcastmoe and R&B icon Devin Morrison.

Lead single “In The Air” (featuring rising Canadian-Ghanaian LA-based singer AKUA, who's lent her distinct spellbinding vocals to artists like Robyn, Blood Orange, Dean Blunt and more) is Benedek’s first collaborative release since his 2011 single with Dam-Funk and is self-described as “music to cruise the LA streets to - jeep bumpers and late summer slammers.”

The tripped-out accompanying visuals are directed by NTS regular and film-maker Kristina McCormick aka DIET CLINIC. “The hallucinatory analogue processing lends itself perfectly to the potent rush of love at first sight ❤️‍🔥”, she explains of the video..

Benedek - In the Air (ft. AKUA)

A piece in 5/4 with two tunings: 12tet and 22/octave Shruti, with pure 25 cents enharmonic tone differences, and Maschine in standard 12tet and modal, with jazz feel drums external to that, playing over the sequenced Maschine .  Thanksgiving Eve, 2025

Release Info:

Finally, the battle is about to reach its thrilling finale after three exhausting rounds. Our pugilists are staggering on their feet and the bookies are running around frantically, taking the final bets. Will the Bad Guys suckerpunch the Good Guys into oblivion, or does team Good have an epic deathmove in store for its malevolent adversaries?

Amsterdam native Nachtbraker steps back into the arena for the fourth chapter in the saga. The Quartet Series label boss and Heist and Dirt Crew mainstay has defected to the bright and sunny Good Guys. Piano chords, chopper effects and toms are the main ingredients of his funk-laden and groovy energy drink. Better than steroids they say. Laurence Guy (Church, Rose Records) joins forces – or heads in this particular case with a much-needed supplement that tugs on your heartstrings with its lush keys and deep pads. This London lad has been stirring up the scene with his flawless and addictive chords, not to mention the big support he’s getting from maestro Move D.

Will this dapper duo be strong enough to floor the misfits featured on the flip? Great precaution is imperative with two heavyweights in the other corner. First mr. Tommy Vicari Jnr (Cabinet Records, YAY Recordings, AMMO84) comes barging in. This Sheffield veteran has been making killer cuts for years now and is about to step into the ring with his slamming snares, and wonkly wobbly bassline swinging around a phat kick. To keep both The Bad Guys feet on the ground LK (Shall not Fade, Hokkaido Dance Club) adds some extra meat with a deep, heavy bassgroove, while a sexy vocal and steady chords create that gangsta vibe that will boost the Bad Guys’ confidence.

Enjoy this last round of the first Quartet in the Series. More to come next year.

Quartet Series is a fresh imprint, run by Maurits Verwoerd (Nachtbraker), with four releases in the pipeline, featuring four different artists and commissioned storyboard comics on the sleeve. To see how the story unravels, you’ll need to catch them all... Special thanks to Giuseppe D’Alessandro (KiSk).

Starting life off as a cassette label in 2012, @UKNOWYMusic has since expanded into the vinyl realm. Based in Munich, Germany, the imprint is also host to beat event nights in its hometown. The premise behind UKNOWY is simple. It's about following a passion. In this case it's a passion for music. Although they try to minimize boundaries concerning genres, they seem to have a penchant for hip hop style beats with a sprinkle of house music on top. Both genres, among others, are represented throughout the label's previous releases of which there are now close to twenty. Currently, they've only had two vinyl releases, both firmly rooted in house. One in 2015 from Peter Clamat and the second in 2016 from Nemoy, with the forthcoming release being their third pressed to wax. If keeping with the current pattern, it may very likely be their only vinyl release of 2017.

"Our Roots" EP is the third aforementioned 12" and it comes from Swiss producer @Delakeyz, who you may know better as his melodic, beat-producing alias @Melodiesinfonie. The three track release comes with two remixes as well. One from Manchester-based Contours and the other from Austrian Moony Me. Our premiere today is the A1 and original mix of the title track 'Our Roots'. Dropping an afro-latin percussion groove over a steady house rhythm, Delakeyz is clearly gunning for the dance floor. Adding moody chords and atmospheric strings, the producer can't stay away from his melodic roots as he keys in squelchy, jazzy sequences over top. The sultry vocals are the cherry on top of a track that has both a solid groove and seductive yet wistful air about it.

One of Italy’s finest purveyors of jazzy and soulful house beats, Academy alumnus Broke One, returns this February with a new EP. ‘This Thing Called Reality’ collects four tasteful takes on Big Bait Records’ random color series with 555 individually colored records. “Don’t Fight the Feeling,” the second groove on the record’s A-side, is built around Herbie Hancock’s musings on what he learned about mistakes from Miles Davis. The tune itself bears strong traces of a jazz signature and will slide nicely into your crates next to the likes of Max Graef and Theo Parrish.

Broke One’s ‘This Thing Called Reality’ EP is out February 5th via Big Bait Records and can be ordered here: https://brokeone.bandcamp.com/album/this-thing-called-reality
