Esteemed artist @ zeb-samuels has unveiled 'The Switch' as the second single from his highly-anticipated EP 'System Update,' offering a glimpse into the sonic journey that lies ahead. Embracing the momentum from his previous album 'Arrival,' Zeb continues to captivate audiences with his transcendent music that defies conventional boundaries and immerses listeners in unique sonic realms.

‘The Switch’ showcases Zeb’s remarkable fusion of spoken word and singing, unveiling an evolved and refined vocal delivery that epitomizes his signature style. The production features a rich and immersive sound, with live drums, Virus TI synthesiser bass improvisations, and an enchanting synth line, enhanced by the subtle nuances of a Rhodes Piano interwoven within the mix.
“The track is all about switching up that energy sometimes that we all need to shake off.
For me when I’m in that zone, I need to focus on the music, so the song is almost a self-note telling me to focus on the music and everything else will be okay," says Zeb. "And if not, at least I had the enjoyment of getting lost in the music.”

'The Switch' stands as a testament to Zeb Samuels' unwavering dedication to his craft and lays the groundwork for the forthcoming EP, promising an immersive auditory journey that challenges boundaries and defies expectations.

Pre-order: https://hdmurder.bandcamp.com/album/initiatrix

Arriving on @planetmurecords with debut 12-tracker 'InitiatriX', Manchester-based producer Ship Sket (@hdmurder) pays homage to UK styles like dubstep, grime, drill and rap, but on an emotional level, it’s about spirituality, fetish, and latent darkness hidden by outward appearances.

“I like happy accidents, messing around and resampling, and kind of seeing how far I can push stuff before it disintegrates in front of me," Ship Sket says. "I’ve heard my tunes on a club system and gone, 'wow that mix sounds bad', but the tune is still popping. My approach is a lot more stylistic than it is technical."

Premiere: Ship Sket 'Mimikyu'

Pre-order: https://hodgebristol.bandcamp.com/album/hodge-marsh-lane-ep

Holotape - Strain [FREE DL]

Do you know the moment at the party when vocals that everyone recognizes kick in? Hands up in the air, collective screaming, true euphoria…
‘Do You Know’, the latest edit of Whitney Houston’s ultimate hit ‘How will I know’ does exactly that to any given dance floor. The mysterious artist who made this edit uses hypnotic breakbeat rhythm layered with fat stabs and arpeggiated cowbells. These elements create positive and a feel-good vibe, but if you add one of the best vocals in the history of pop music on the top, then you have an absolute dance floor weapon.
‘Do you know’ is coming out via PXU white series on September 20th in the limited vinyl-only release as an edit package. The release includes two edits of aforementioned Whitney Houston’s ‘How will I know’ and two edits of Mary J Blige’s ‘Family Affair’.

The Human Movement project has undergone significant sonic development in the past 12 months.  From a well established house project within his underground community of Sydney Australia, Edward Macdonald’s most recent singles have elevated him to more than just connoisseur of taste, but to a producer reaching grandiose heights, one established in a delicate care for the creation of sonic universes. This ethos and new chapter of music has  now combined to create Human Movement’s first solo body of work, KINETIC.

With the release of the body of work  comes the first listen of new Human Movement original, Reframed. Reframed’s grandiose vocal chops, raging string lines and two step drum pattern make for a dark and grungy take on the traditionally glitzy garage genre. While vast in its territories, sonics and inspiration there is something brilliant about its continuity. Each build up is a narrative, each drumline a distant rhythm and each vocal chop a distinct feeling.

Premiere: Once Twice 'First Thing'
