Just Blakey - Releases

Hot on the heels of an EP release on 1Ø PILLS MATE, LA producer Justin Jay preps four diverse cuts of contemporary electronic music that highlight just how rounded his sonic palette is; taking into consideration the sounds of LA, Miami and Europe and stretching them into distinct jay-ed up productions.

As a DJ and producer dedicated to pushing the listener outside of their comfort zone, it should come as no surprise that Justin Jay’s debut on Breaks N Vibes is a varied listen. Despite its assorted genre line-up, there is undoubtedly a vibe that unites the sonics together. As inspired by headsy underground music as he is by mainstream EDM producers like Avicii, Justin explores playful electronic-pop, soundboy-slaying jungle, west-coast breaks and emotive electro on a killer five-tracker.

‘Freedom’ is a cut of steppy breakbeat-electro that balances moments of analog meditation with spirals of colour and cosmic intention; an emotionally stirring sequence of smiles and melancholy. ‘Brb’ sets its sights firmly front-left on a deep garage-house track that does what all great garage-house does: keeps it simple and keeps you moving.

Teaming up with fellow LA producer jahjaylee on ‘Miss You’, the pair craft a cut of sugar-sweet vibey house music that could soundtrack a trip through the most psychedelic of dreams, before the stripped-back jungle rhythms of ‘Soundboy’ bring yet another dimension to an already wide scope. 4x4 kicks introduced after the second breakdown bring a warehouse rave energy that is both contemporary and nostalgic.

Justin invites Angelo Jsn and Edward White to see out the EP on ‘You’re The Only’; a piece of transatlantic booty-breakbeat delivered in Justin’s signature hyper-funk style.

Skins continues forging his own path with a new label celebrating the uplifting and futuristic sounds of jungle, with a four-tracker featuring tracks with early support from DJs at the leading edge of the new wave of jungle such as Tañ, Mixtress and Frazer Ray through to revered names like Paul Rhodes of 2 Bad Mice.

Whilst some will know Skins from his run of self-released white label techno EPs or 2021’s underground hit 24 Hour Dub, more recently he has turned his attention back to the music which made him fall in love with it all in the first place:

“I vividly remember the effect that the futuristic sounds of 90s jungle and drum ‘n’ bass had on me as a kid, hearing snippets of tracks in video games and later stumbling across artists like Alaska, Future Engineers, Seba, Peshay and LTJ Bukem. After years engrossing myself in the cavernous spaces of dub techno, this record feels like a return to my roots, bringing my style into a new arena which still feels like home. The label will serve as an outlet for this and future collaborations with like-minded producers.”

Route R is the second track from the forthcoming inaugural release on Skins’ new project Sauce Direct Records. The label is set to draw from the sounds and energy of classic jungle, with an emphasis on colour, excitement and most importantly, fun.

The track opens with a pulsing, sparse and echo-laden drum pattern, which slowly fills out and is joined by an arpeggiated synth line pulling us along to the breakbeat section. From here we travel deeper, driven forwards by a powerful undulating bassline, until we are greeted by uplifting pads and layers of rich, emotionally charged harmonies.

After a brief moment lost in space, we are plunged back into the bass and breakbeat groove for a few more minutes of heads-down action, before a familiar synthesiser line brings us back home, from which we set off, but somehow different…

"Larmour, the UK-born and Tbilisi Georgia-based artist, is set to release his upcoming 'False Thoughts EP' on March 3rd via MOTE Records, aka Mood Of The Era. The EP takes listeners on a journey through Larmour's personal experiences and emotions as he navigates a new country and discovers the challenges and triumphs of life in a new place.

The 'False Thoughts EP' showcases Larmour's love for breaks, combined with a rich tapestry of emotions, from love to pain, loneliness, joy, and nostalgia. The four tracks on the EP, including the title track 'False Thoughts,' '52Down', 'Over' and the highly-anticipated 'N.A,' offer a glimpse into Larmour's world and provide a moving, danceable soundscape that explores the complexities of human emotions.

Larmour's goal with the EP is to encourage listeners to live in the present, appreciate memories from the past, and not get caught up in nostalgia. The EP's nostalgic elements are balanced by an overall message of growth and the idea that life is always throwing curveballs.

The 'False Thoughts EP' demonstrates Larmour's ability to combine breaks, emotion, and danceability.

Next up on Expressions is one of our all time favourite people, and a marvellous DJ. Gibbin has been with us since the beginning, and impresses us each and every time we hear him play. He has leant his avant-garde production techniques to 199's release catalogue, and he has provided flawless sets at parties back in Leeds. We're very happy to welcome him to the series.

Bourassa is back and serving us a scorching new summer hit. This time, label boss Smolny doesn't hold back, unleashing a powerful holiday anthem titled "Need Love."

The B-side features two fantastic remixes of the title track, "Need Love." The first one is a fierce breakbeat roller from Denham Audio. With its powerful bass and mesmerizing droplets cascading in the background, it creates a distinct hypnotic atmosphere.

DHF007: Just Blakey - The Tale Of The Cobbler

Size 13 is back with their second label release, a 4 track of dub infused electro from Just Blakey. Channeling influence from Detroit to Jupiter, this young producer has carefully crafted and sculpted his sound to communicate through interstellar frequencies. The result is a crisp, spacey EP that will no doubt ripple through club systems.

Building suspense through robotic voices (created on the speak and spell featured in E.T!), squelchy synths and punchy drum beats, the EP shows off the maturity of Just Blakey's sound. Expect to hear more from this producer in the future!
