Kicking things off for 2024 on Lava Lava is London-based producer Raj Panasa a.k.a. Bearface with an ode to the creative freedom of Jazz. Previous releases on Defected, Vatos Locos, Exploited and his own Beartone Records have shown his depth of skill and musicality in weaving together analogue instrumentation with digital equipment and sampling. His Harlesden Shuffle EP combines the warmth of old school Jazz records unearthed in dusty crates with the energy and flow of contemporary Deep House to make the perfect record for candle-lit bars and free & easy dance floors.

Title track Harlesden Shuffle opens up with driving 4/4 drum patterns, sub-heavy bass and a tripped out vocal sample. A hypnotic trumpet loops lead through to an absolutely sublime rhythm section. As the trumpet becomes faster and looser so does the 808-style hand claps, creating an irresistible head-nodding and body-moving track.

On the B Side, French Orkestra is a rich and Deep tapestry where warm bass and soft trumpets bounce alongside shuffling percussion. As the track develops playful piano licks, joyful clarinets and beautiful flute sections weave throughout. Looped and warped vocals add the final layer to this cut, contrasting more modern digital production methods with stunning instrumentation.

PREMIERE: Bearface - French Orkestra [Lava Lava]

Well, it's really like that, by surprise, that the second release of the year arrives! On Valentine's Day, Diogo brings us a warm and sweet song, composed in January 2019 with Swilaw. The original track is mainly a House tune with a well-chopped think break and vocal extracts reminding us of Salsoul. A slower than usual track, which ended up being orphaned and which, in 2024, will finally see the light of day.

Completing the release comes a remix by Mário Vinagre, aka Moreno Ácido, which takes one of those soulful vocals, and rebuilds the track, giving it a more melancholic and nostalgic tone. In between, some saxophone solos accentuates the taciturn mood that seems to recall a possible loss. If the original theme is sunny and passionate, this will certainly be its lunar side.

A bitter/sweet treat capable of pleasing everyone, depending on their mood on the occasion.

PREMIERE: Diogo & Swilaw - LAVANDAE (Sometimes) (Moreno Ácido's Blue Moon Remix) [Discos Extended]

Hell Yeah kicks off 2024 in fine style with a new album from Australian producer @dawn-again . Every Dog's Hotel is a dreamy and breaks-driven downtempo excursion the artist has dubbed "pubwave."

Melbourne-based Nick Verwey has been crafting solo and collaborative cuts for the best part of a decade on labels like Houseworx and Enjoyment Division. He operates in a world where danceable grooves are paired with laid-back moods. His lo-fi sound is both sunlit and sunset-ready and is for grown-up crowds who like to get down on rooftops, sandy enclaves, or laidback living rooms. This new album, however, he describes as "pubwave" and was conveyed during lockdown when Nick and his friends were missing their favourite communal drinking spots.

"My friends and I were missing the pub, missing dance floors, missing being able to hang out and have fun," he says before explaining that, at the time, he was listening to a lot of 90s and 00s downtempo chill out by the likes of Heights of Abraham, Pork Recordings, Baby Mammoth and Bullitnuts. He came up with the idea of creating something similar but in his own way, initially with spoken word poetry from his friend over the top, though when it came to recording that never quite worked so it was shelved until later when Nick tried again without the vocals. "The whole project has been more than years in the making. I'm super proud of the end result. I think it still nails the dreamy, Balearic "pubwave" vibe and comes with a gorgeous cover painting by my mate Holly Hunt. It's an old English haunt called the Old Neptune, and what nails the brief more than a pub that is literally on the beach?"

The title track is a welcome opening with leggy breaks and soft shakers encouraging you to sway while gazing up at the melodic stars before 'Foam Party' gets more zoned out with its vaporous chords and gentle drum tumbles. 'Journey Through The Schoonerverse' is a suspensory trip to the clouds with effortlessly loose breaks and painterly synth smears, 'Wonky Friends' has a more weighty but still dubbed out and slow motion house kick and 'Kneverending Knockoffs' keeps the energy rising with raw percussion and acidic twitches that journey through a heat haze on a warm afternoon. Closer 'Backyard Paradiso' is the horizontal finish that washes over you like rays of sun and gently breaking waves to leave you relaxed from head to toe and digital bonus 'Hard Earned Thirst' is an extra chance to luxuriate in Dawn Again's richly layered synths and leisurely breaks.

The superbly welcoming Every Dog's Hotel is a place to pull up, sink a drink, and soak into some lavish and escapist downtempo sounds.

● We're excited to unveil our latest digital release on the Meta Moto platform. Poladroïd, originating from Belgium, the featured producer is renowned for blending electro and IDM with a fierce energy, notably showcased on labels like Science Cult and his own Roulette Rekordz. However, Poladoïd offers a departure from his usual style with this release, which feels like a spiritual successor to his previous work "Eurosiberie" on Detriti.

Drenched in dense, filtered atmospheres and infused with nostalgic echoes of a bygone era, 'Danse Macabre' exudes a dark and gritty ambiance, straddling the realms of retro-futurism and melancholic machine melodies. Drawing inspiration from a spectrum as wide as Holderlin's 'Hyperion' and the poetic works of Robert Brasillach and Charles Baudelaire, 'Danse Macabre' showcases Poladroid's versatility in crafting diverse sonic landscapes while maintaining a signature sound.
