"Shades of Anger," Rafeef Ziadah

Allow me to speak my Arab tongue
before they occupy my language as well.
Allow me to speak my mother tongue
before they colonise her memory as well.
I am an Arab woman of color.
and we come in all shades of anger.
All my grandfather ever wanted to do
was wake up at dawn and watch my grandmother kneel and pray
in a village hidden between Jaffa and Haifa
my mother was born under an olive tree
on a soil they say is no longer mine
but I will cross their barriers, their check points
their damn apartheid walls and return to my homeland
I am an Arab woman of colour and we come in all shades of anger.
And did you hear my sister screaming yesterday
as she gave birth at a check point
with Israeli soldiers looking between her legs
for their next demographic threat
called her baby girl “Janeen”.
And did you hear Amni Mona screaming
behind their prison bars as they teargassed her cell
“We’re returning to Palestine!”
I am an Arab woman of colour and we come in all shades of anger.
But you tell me, this womb inside me
will only bring you your next terrorist
beard wearing, gun waving, towelhead, sand nigger
You tell me, I send my children out to die
but those are your copters, your F16′s in our sky
And let’s talk about this terrorism business for a second
Wasn’t it the CIA that killed Allende and Lumumba
and who trained Osama in the first place
My grandparents didn’t run around like clowns
with the white capes and the white hoods on their heads lynching black people
I am an Arab woman of colour and we come in all shades of anger.
“So who is that brown woman screaming in the demonstration?”
Sorry, should I not scream?
I forgot to be your every orientalist dream
Jinnee in a bottle, belly dancer, harem girl, soft spoken Arab woman
Yes master, no master.
Thank you for the peanut butter sandwiches
raining down on us from your F16′s master
Yes my liberators are here to kill my children
and call them “collateral damage”
I am an Arab woman of colour and we come in all shades of anger.
So let me just tell you this womb inside me
will only bring you your next rebel
She will have a rock in one hand and a Palestinian flag in the other
I am an Arab woman of color
Beware! Beware my anger…

[EW001] V.A. - Esuoh White 001

JVXTA is a DJ and producer currently based in London. His music is bumpin’ and he’s put out some absolutely shellin’ records. We don’t really have more to offer than that, except to say “Only Alone” sounds like if Boards Of Canada breaks and an LTJ Bukem bassline took a pill in warehouse at 6am and then spent the morning making love while listening to J Dilla, this track might sound exactly like what the resulting love child might sound like.

PREMIERE: Niles Cooper - Together [Planet Gwer]

After our first release that overreached our expectations, Apér’House is back for a second Various Artists ! 

This time it won’t be a five tracker VA but a FOURTEEN tracker VA ! Yes Fourteen ! And for this occasion we took almost the same team but added some new name that won’t leave you indifferent ! Talented producers from all over the world - UK, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Libanon & Switzerland ! 

Like in APRH001, the compilation will be divided in two parts : 
- The first one will be dedicated to boogie house including jazzy, deep, funky & soulful sonorities 
- The second part will embrace the path of darky & punchy house such as Lo-Fi, Acid, Rapide tones 

Furthermore, this release is also really special to us because 99% of the funds are gonna be donated to our beloved Indonesians friends that were recently hit by more than 1000 earthquakes in less than a month ! (The 1% left is to cover our expanses for the release such as high quality mastering, artwork & distribution) 

Last but not least, Huge shoutout to : 
- ASTUS for this incredible artwork 
- Secret Ensemble for the mastering 
- And of course, special thanks to all the artists that made APRH002 possible

Pre-order: https://www.phonicarecords.com/product/az-jvxta-love-sensations-pre-order-a-to-z/157939

Evoking the sounds of mid-90s New York house championed by labels like Henry Street, Al Zanders and JVXTA bring a swooning modern take on filter house and we're absolutely here for it.

The pair's 'Love Sensation' EP on Al Zander's own A To Z label is a heady four-tracker of lush disco-flecked deep house and will be released on (when else) February 14.

Get it while it's HOT.

Premiere: AZ (Al Zanders) 'The Strings'

There’s no better man to mark the fiftieth release on WOLF Music than South London stalwart and OG WOLF family, Medlar. Marrying techy touches and UKG stylings, with sonar bumps and Medlar's signature, sample-heavy groove, it’s a fitting way to bring in the half century.

The Peckham powerhouse throws down from the off with the rubbery, wiggling, ‘Novanta’. A garage infused lo-fi shuffle, springing samples and saturated stabs mingle with a choice vocal snippet. Looping up a Rhodes top line Medlar adds a certain swagger to this South of the river saunter.

'Pampas Drums' gets the room spinning with metallic percussive hits, twisting samples and wiggy zaps that form a cosmic swirl of echoes. Like a perpetually charging ray gun that's about to blow, the rising swells add layers of suspense to this hardy drum workout. Perfect laid over tracks or to shock dancers in it's own right.

Take to the flip for ‘Paloma’ showcasing Medlar’s fondness for a dose of UKG. Swinging hats and skipping claps blend with offbeat vocal cut-ups that give a classic underground '90s spark. Rolling subs add a weight whilst a crunched-up soulful synth offers a fresh flavoured touch to this tough jam.

Medlar rounds off the E.P in the Rye Wax basement with late night slammer, ‘Monday Boy’. Straight up, synth heavy club business, rich in analogue power and perfectly interlaced melodies, that has peak time written all over it.

Ten years in the game for WOLF Music and a landmark 50th release produced by a man who's been part of the brotherhood since the beginning.

PREMIERE: Joe Corti - If I Could (China White 003)

Five artists. Five tracks. Four countries. One 12’’. Live Ones is back with a belting new EP featuring five deep and sultry cuts.

Windows (formally DJ Windows XP) kicks things off with their familiar dusty and melancholic drive, pulling all the right heart strings on ‘I Wanted To Share My Feelings But You Kept Talking’. Label owner Lorca’s ‘Sirens’ follows this on a similar, ravey vibe with stomping kicks, breaks, breast beating string samples and bleeps. 
  		
The flip side sees the talented and experienced Intr0beatz in amazing form utilising rich, orchestral strings and his signature house grooves to produce the infectious ‘For The Love’.  

Keith Lorraine (also known as Baby Rollen) of London is up next with the emotionally rich ‘Wild Flower’. The track builds nicely into the final cut ‘Dreams’ from Canada’s Mathew Ferness. Here we see the artist at his best, using looping vocals and piano stabs to great effect, completing an EP that will work just as well in your headphones as it will on the dance floor. We’re in it For The Love.
