Startrack

Ocean Stirs - Hollow

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.

Named after @rudda_music’s late grandfather’s middle name, 'St John' encapsulates melancholic hopefulness wrapped in club-ready energy. Landing tomorrow on Dancing Family (@user-51780230), RUDDA's ode to UK garage swerves effortlessly between elements of 2-step, breaks, and house.

"I have an interest in the connections between different dance genres, the similarities and differences in how they relate and rely on each other is something I aim to explore in my music," says RUDDA on this release.

For the debut release on Monologic (MNL001), a new label from @cropper, the head honcho drops a post-garage, pre-dubstep heater reminiscent of early 2000s Horsepower Productions. Off key, on beat and rave ready, it's a heater that features Jamiroquai-esque funky stabs, sparse breakdowns, and a heads down foot skanking groove.

Premiere: Cropper 'Once Again'
