Name: Premiere: Suchi 'Danshaug' by Mixmag
Duration: 5 min 54 s
Description: PRE-ORDER: https://coastalhaze.bandcamp.com/album/swift

The wheels had slowly stopped turning; the whole world had shut down. What marked danger for humanity, wielded freedom for nature — now plant and wildlife could thrive in places that had once been impossible. Some travelled to the glistening waters of the canals, while others took to the sky in search of new climes to mate. It's amazing what can happen when the power's switched off for just a moment...

Two years ago Berlin-based producer and musician Guava took care of the second release for London's Control Freak Recordings, and now he's returning for his second EP, ‘The Dolphins are Back in Venice’, but this time he's bringing a few friends along with him for the ride. Fellow producers LUXE and Breaka join for two of the four tracks, all of which showcase Guava's dexterity at merging digital and analog practices. Coming via the label's hand-stamped white label series, the release matches syncopated rhythms and weighty low end with self-sampled guitar licks and playful melodies.

PREMIERE: Guava & Breaka - The Dolphins Are Back In Venice [Control Freak]

Based out of Bristol, Litherland is a classic example of how the city’s in-depth community inspires producers to make innovative music and constantly motivate each other. Working part time in a synth shop, he has grown an eclectic knowledge of hardware and knows how to utilize it for his tunes. 

The track ‘Into Shade’ is a hard-hitting distorted jungle tune with Joe’s classic arpeggiated synth sound that brings sentiment to so many of his songs.

Profits made from this EP will be donated to Manchester Women’s Aid, a charity that provides emergency temporary housing for single women and women with children who are freeing themselves from domestic violence and abuse.

Mysterious supergroup Protect Ryan (@protectryan) make their HOMAGE debut with the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP, featuring four original rave bangers paired with remixes from five of the scene's most trusted underground producers. 

Protect Ryan unites three friends (all veteran producers) that first came together through their shared love of '90s rave culture. Their debut EP arrived on DJ Die's GutterFunk label and introduced the world to their distinct ethos, producing club-ready cuts that inject the dancefloor with big energy. Now they expand on their story with the purest form of their dynamic sound, the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP on HOMAGE. 

Leading off with 'Bro Magnum', Protect Ryan launch into an all-out assault of banging breakbeats and growling bass before a squelching acid line takes over. Then comes 'Liam Features', a track also forthcoming on TSHA's fabric presents compilation, which follows with more rouged rhythms paired with playful stabs transporting listeners back to the golden age of rave. Next is 'Senhor Whep' and its nostalgic drum breaks that lay the foundation for an absolutely naughty acid line building into peak time euphoria. Finally, rounding out the Protect Ryan originals is 'Unfinished BTEC' delivering the trio's most refined sound, with tight percussion and chopped vocals stacked on top of a smooth, deep, and emotive bass line. 

While the originals are enough to satisfy anyone's thirst for rave-ready anthems, the release is complete with a staggering collection of remixes. Building on the energy that was already laid out, Apparition (@apparition-noise) speeds up the bpm with their version of 'Bro Magnum' for a hyper bass banger. Then Club Glow's own Denham Audio (@denhamaudio) takes on 'Liam Features' with his signature breakbeat NRG before Boulderhead (@boulderheaduk) flips the same track into a bumping house cut highlighting the original's infectious bassline. Finishing off the release are two remixes of 'Unfinished BTEC', first by HOMAGE label co-founder Ryan Clover (@ryanclover) who's hard-hitting version highlights the deep squelchy bass and chopped percussion while Davis Galvin (@davisgalvin) delivers a sublime and ethereal downtempo chugger.

San Francisco based DJ and bass extraordinaire Farsight knows how to make an entrance, first bursting onto the scene with his adventurous and daring EP ‘Wisdom’ back in 2016. At the time Farsight's music sounded like it had been beamed from another planet and has played an important role in the cross-pollination of genres we’ve seen in recent years. Farsight has gone on to release on Scuffed Recordings, Maloca and Noire State, remaining firmly fixed on the future of club music. Now his blend of trap, jersey club, reggaeton and dancehall makes its way across the Atlantic with six mind-sizzling cuts for Breaks ‘N’ Pieces vol. 23.

Opening track ‘Triangulation’ combines rolling drums with party-starting vocal samples and steady whistles, letting listeners know we’re really off! ‘Mr Right’ then enters the fray with throbbing subs, ravey stabs and a vocal that sits halfway between fun and outright menacing. The A side comes to a close with ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ a dubstep infused cut of choppy breaks and wide-eyed melodies. A masterclass in raising tension, this track will shut down any club, please use wisely.

‘Lesser Light’ shows Farsight’s love for bass exploration; it’s looming shadow pressing amongst some of the darkest corners of electronic. A unique brand of grime infused techno. ‘Water Margin’ delves even further, adopting a more measured pace for those heads down moments. The record comes to a close with ‘Fulminous Edge’ and is a reflection of the artist’s darkest material. The drums still have a familiar spring in their step but the track’s melodic bassline is mesmerizing; resulting in a melancholy trance that deserves a second play.

PREMIERE: Farsight - Mr Right

Bristol-based Draconian Audio honcho and LBM resident Sempra delivers yet another outstanding release to upstart London collective La bonne musique. Since his popular ‘Breakbeats and Heartache’ EP on the label, he’s gone on to release on the legendary Future Classic imprint as well as Coco Bryce’s Myor. Now, he continues his onslaught of jungle and garage-fueled tracks on home soil with the ‘Red Eye’ EP. 

With strong nods to his previous release on La bonne, the title track kicks things off with moody junglist vocals echoing out over clean drums and a moody, distorted Reese. ‘Right Now’ then switches things up with a garage groove, wobbly bass and more iconic sampling wizardry before ‘I Do’ plunges you right back into the depths of dark and nostalgic breakbeat. ‘Call 4 Me’ closes out the release with pitched-up vocals supplying the EP with some of Sempra’s signature happy hardcore flavour. ‘Red Eye’ is a carefully crafted love letter to UK rave culture showcasing the artist’s beyond impressive versatility and skill.
