Soulection has been really influential of late as to what I listen to to chill and clear my mind, and so I thought I'd put a playlist together of my favourite discoveries from them so far, along with tracks I'd put in an imaginary mix for them if I was ever on a show. This is one of those playlists that'll never be finished, in the best way :)

Sonic - All I Wanna Do

Second wave Detroit techno icon Carl Craig is no stranger to weirdness. Of his whole generation, he's always the guy who takes things that little bit further, stranger, more abstract. So when Swiss veteran Mirko Loko (Cadenza, Desolat, Planet E, Visionquest) offered up remix duties on his minimal-tech groover "Kolor" from his upcoming Color Plan EP on Cadenza, Craig took the opportunity to make not one, but two separate remixes.

Few artists can say they released their debut album at the age of 19, even fewer can say they redefined what is possible within their genre. Bop, however, simultaneously achieved both with the release of his debut "Clear Your Mind" on Med School in the summer of 2009. He has carved out an unparalleled ice-cold sound by taking the rudimentary elements of drum+bass and effortlessly fusing them with ambient techno, IDM and minimal dubstep.

Now Med School is delighted to present five stunning re-interpretations of choice tracks from "Clear Your Mind", as some of the biggest innovators in drum+bass further enhance and amplify Bop's creations. First up on remix duty is Blu Mar Ten with an epic adaptation of "Nothing Makes Any Sense", characterised by outstanding organic drum programming, rapturous vocal melodies and a growling reese. "Tears Of A Lonely Metaphysician" is next in line as Lynx + Hellrazor stamp their authority on the opening track from Bop's debut album. The script is well and truly flipped, taking the dancefloor on a deep and dark journey with seemingly endless progressions and massive attention to detail.

Russian counterpart Subwave supplies deadly new rhythms on "Song About My Dog". The divine lead from the original remains in full effect, now underpinned by trademark Subwave beats and a brand new bassline progression to get down to. If that wasn't enough, we wrap up the EP with two remixes of "Enjoy The Moment". The first is a rolling amen rinse-out by Thinnen, the iambop.com remix competition winner, who edged out hundreds of other entrants by striking the perfect balance between elements of Bop's original and his own deep sliding bassline and breaks. The second is a heart-rending and melancholic dubstep rendition from fellow Saint-Petersburg urbanite Unquote, featuring chilling vocals and sumptuous strings.

Bop has revolutionised perceptions of music at 170bpm, these remixes are destined to push the boundaries even further and add to the lengthy list of support Bop has already received right across the musical spectrum from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Christian Martin (Dirty Bird Records), Marcus Intalex, London Elektricity, Instra:mental, dBridge, Nerm & D-Code, Skream, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, Knowledge, ATM and many many more.

The Erised's debut album, 'Room 414'.
Release date: 3rd June 2016
12" + CD // CD // Digital

A five-piece band isn’t something you’d expect to be linked to drum and bass label Med School but The Erised’s elegant approach adds yet another string to Med School’s forward-thinking bow.

A unique collective from Ukraine, The Erised includes drum & bass producers Detail and Hidden Element, dancer turned singer/songwriter Sonya together with a collective of jazz, rock and pop musicians.

The band’s impressive 2015 debut release, the “Desire” EP, included the supremely popular “Pray” and “It’s Over“, immediately capturing the attention of music fans across Europe and beyond.

Fast forward one year and The Erised are set to unveil their debut album, 'Room 414', a mature, impassioned creation that explores the band's vast emotional landscape. Sonya's voice is more absorbing than ever before, delicately crafting tales of sorrow and heartbreak before seducing the listener with her trademark, mesmerising choruses.

The Erised's moody instrumental textures capture a fine balance between tragic and euphoric, fire and water, spring and autumn. No track is the same, as every minute passes, a different part of the story is told.

'Room 414' is a landmark moment for both the band and the label, as all involved take a step into the unknown with this truly magnificent album.

Bop And Despot - Microfunk - (CILP002-E2) - 2013

this was a CD i released last year.
 It's like an idealised and concentrated snapshot  of things I did in the summer of 2011. 
Several of the tracks are recordings straight out the back of my Korg EMX whilst at a party. 
The *vibe* (for lack of a better word) is East London private parties. Parties where you could just do whatever you wanted, as long as you weren't hurting anyone.
 Parties where the door charge would get you a research chemical and an instruction to imbibe at a certain time.
Parties where local gangsters were transformed into shirtless sweating love thugs who were suddenly more interested in your life story than trying to rob you.
Parties where suburban runaway rich kids would meet the loves of their lives for one night and never see them again. 
Yup, it's party music alright.
