Very classy track I enjoy the journey, thx :)

London duo Dief & Baker came to fore last year when they joined Kerri Chandler's MadTech Records ranks, releasing the melodically-charged 'Hours' as a free download. 

This, alongside a host of shows at London venues and We Love...Sundays in Ibiza, has led to them being snapped up by This Is Music Ltd, joining the likes of Boy 8-Bit, Charli XCX and Theophilus London as those to have released on the imprint.

It seems there is a lot that can happen in a campsite of a festival, and an EP from Mella Dee on Private Parts is one of them. Cut to, a musical exchange to take place, and Strictly Ruffneck EP to be born.

Strictly Ruffneck EP has Mella Dee exploring his deeper, wigged out and wonky side in fine detail.

PRIVATEPARTSØ3

PREMIERE: Mella Dee - Twisted Funk (Private Parts)

The car accelerated quickly forward as it moved between gears. On either side he could see faces flashing by as the pace grew faster and faster. It was dark in the distance, soon the crowds would cease and he would be left with only the other racers for company.

He could hear the engine roaring beneath him, it was strained and mighty.

Smoke billowed from exhausts, then it all went dark as they hit the end of the tunnel and returned to the night.

Guava holds no punches with a new EP for Faux Poly, this one is a bass focussed affair with rising synths, frenetic energy and a sense of immeasurable tension. This will do damage in the clubs. Be warned.

Afterglow [FP008]

PREMIERE: Guava - F641 [Faux Poly]

The cave was pitch black, inside there was little sound but for the occasional drip of water which would send a ripple through the pond below. Looking down from up above, they wondered what lay in the murky depths of the quarry. What surprises might be but round the corner? What creatures? What comforts? What tricks? What treats?

That’s when there was a deep rumble from the ground below. It bellowed up through the cave like some loud drum before enveloping their eardrums with a might thud.

Then they flew forth, bats and bats and bats and bats.

Will Hofbauer steps forth for an EP on Will Saul’s longstanding record label Aus. This is a record built of playful bouncey house grooves, oddball sounds and fun. It’s destined to work a treat in the clubs with a silly sense of purpose and a tongue n’ cheek approach to the dance.

PREMIERE: Will Hofbauer - Ah! Bats! [Aus]

@dyslecta steps up with ‘Woldsman001', marking the first instalment of a new self-released series exploring leftfield dancefloor sounds, lively bass tweaks and percussive club tools.

"Lynchpinn’ offers groove-laden 4x4 rhythms somewhere between classic Detroit and new-school techno," says the Yorkshire-born producer. "Its pulsating bass weaves throughout the track, offset by Jeff Mills-esque synth stabs to create an undulating dancefloor weapon."

Spray retires the eponymously, to instead seek Punctuality; a new label for ‘dastard club elegies in the dark’ hosted by the maestro himself. Blu:sh clocks in to provide the imprint’s inaugural extended player with U is for U and me, a pentagonal suite of nocturnal seductions for ‘U’, our dear listener, from ‘he’, its rosy-cheeked conductor.

B is for Blu:sh (sometimes Benoit B and Terra Utopia), a froward node in the artist’s trilateral soul whose previous charm offensives for Roza Terenzi’s Step Ball Chain and Rey Colino’s Kalahari Oyster Cult under the alias signalled the arrival of a new challenger to the ‘hits parade’. U is for U and me provides distinct variations on the theme of ‘club allure’, five tracks of sparkling body music that captivate in its relentless drive for kinetic salvation.

London outfit Kassian continue their broadly-evolving yet highly detailed journey through and beyond sound towards something ever more expansive. Their second release for !K7 Records comes in the wake of creating a dedicated hardware-forward studio in a Northeast London container complex, where they have the freedom to interlink their machines. This renewed focus brought them to Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

The immediacy of the restless rhythm and bass-led funk of “Yena” forms a sweet spot where double-time and half-time can coexist. The word Yena translates to ‘he / him / man’, and the punchy male vocal loop punctuates the track’s deep swing, enhanced by amapiano log drums sped-up to a glassy pitch.

“Yami” (‘mine’ in Zulu) is a slinkier proposition which sheds prominent percussion in favour of a weighty, fluid, acid-informed bassline undulating from below. Contrasted against its jutting female vocals and sharp synth pads, the track cultivates dancefloor anticipation, accented by skittering percussion and time-stretched acid disintegration.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

A dubbed-out groove dominates the bottom-heavy “Sistema Baile”, established by a leading Roland System 1 synth line. It is a groovy, steady roller that chugs and propels and chugs with head-nod hypnotism through an intricately minimalistic approach.

New Members presents ECO 1, an expansive 14-track double LP which includes music recorded in several locations and countries between the years of 2013-2023, some tracks of which have been excavated from saltwater-soaked drives.

The LP presents a mesh of styles which obscure the boundaries between New Age, Ambient and Soundtrack to Country-Inspired Breaks, Vaporwave-Tinted Downtempo, and more. Weather Music is the mood. ECO 1 invites the listener into a strangely-familiar liminal soundscape.

PREMIERE: New Members - Pixel Tear
