Jonny is a mysterious character. We know that he has made music as part of Gaussian Curve and Land Of Light. We know he now lives in Bali. Beyond that, nothing is clear. This track is meditative, relaxing with a heady edge of electronica. Gigi Masin says it's music that has the power to make you dream eyes wide open. Peter our creative director has added, perhaps less poetically, that it reminds him of being battered on a beach after a heavy one. We think they’re both right.

Very happy to have Henry Wu and Earl Jeffers debuting on MCDE Recordings this fall with their double Sider "Projections/Hi-Life"
Both Pablo Valentino and myself have been fans of their work, be it Henry and Earls solo stuff or the highly adventurous Yussef Kamaal project which Henry introduced 2 years ago. 
These guys take the London sound to a whole new level and we are very proud to have them doing their thing on our label.

London-based producer Harry Wolfman is quickly racking up quality releases with his 'Portal Gun' EP as his latest offering landing on the prolific Toy Tonics imprint. 

Clearly a fan of Rick & Morty, Wolfman's 'Portal Gun' EP features tracks titled 'The Rickest Rick' and 'The Accord'. Here Mixmag premieres the latter, a soulful and funk-infused house ballad that shimmers with fluttering synth chords and a warm bass line. 

The 'Portal Gun' EP is set for release April 13.

It is with great pleasure that we bring you "Dance Ideas Volume 2", courtesy of Australian crew Beats of No Nation (@beatsofnonationradio). Initially kicking off as a radio show which was all about projecting class dance music to the masses, the franchise quickly expanded into a record label, which has since released five juicy EP's. Since launching this beautiful sonic creature in September 2015, BONN have hosted a ream of esteemed house personnel such as Mall Grab, Francis Inferno Orchestra, Fouk, Folamour and Seb Wildblood on their show. The Aussie lads (Dom Bird, Jad Lee and Sean Bate) have also received high praise from their radio show brothers and sisters in NTS, Xlr8r, Thump and Bradley Zero. With pats on the back from this grouping, it's pretty obvious they're doing plenty right!

This time round we've got ourselves a delectable little compilation which shines a light on works from Ibiza resident Corbi, Hackney's Lavan, Berlin's Jad & The and finally a spacey delight from West Australia's Olywok. Corbi's opener screams the setting sun. Combining clicking drumbeats, elevating strings and one very funked out guitar scale, this one's a lovely grind. Be sure to hang in there for that soothing vocal monologue to entwine you, 'it's all so quiet and beautiful with the whole city right out in front of my eyes'. Next up comes UK cat Lavan's The Right Thing (The Hardest Thing). What's most intriguing about this groovy slice is again the vocal sample chosen. At about the three minute mark a painter's voice enters the fray, discussing his method of attacking a canvas. Enveloping this artists words are soaring strings and languid bass notes, making up a clinic in relaxed house.

Our pick of the bunch and the premiere today is the third track, from the Germany-based Aussie lad, Jad & The (@jad-lee). Simplicity really can be oh so sweet. For just over seven minutes Jazz Hands You'll Never Understand carries us away with bongos and a spell-bounding piano loop. A jazzy cocktail of subtle sound that still encourages the boogie. Rounding out this crafty collection of dance thoughts comes Olywok's Maintain. Boarding that lo-fi train, Olywok works together a flurry of acid stabs, digitised bleeps and haunting synth notes into quite the meal. A record destined for the quintessential Bush Doof!

TwICE aka Patrick Gibin established himself as a selector to be reckoned with through his Black Aroma re-edit series, and now he brings his penchant for deep cuts and dusty reworks to the RNT catalog.
The last track of the release, Take Flights loops a boogie instrumental with hypnotic simplicity which make this track brilliant and effective.
