Release Info:
We are very pleased to welcome a new artist to the Dirt Crew Recordings roster!

London based “Clive From Accounts” caught our attention with his last release on Fouk’s “Outplay” imprint in 2020 and we are excited to present you with his new EP “Cooking the Books”.

The opener “Toucan” is a lush deep house joint, mixing frantic percussion with drunken synths, and as Clive describes it himself “A bit like taking Night Nurse and going on safari”. We love the spacey atmosphere of this track so much! For “Gravitate”, Clive made a dreamy yet danceable tune using dusty old records repurposed with a sprinkling of modular percussion and trouser-flapping subs. This one really caught our attention and has a very unique style, reminiscent of early “Groove Armada” and “Röyksopp”.

The shimmering “Altar” is organic and emotional, using purely analog synthesis and “Stewart-Lee-grade repetition”, which gives this EP a deep diversity in terms of styles and sounds. Exactly what we want Dirt Crew Recordings to be in this day and age.

We top things off with a deep and subby 2-Step / House remix by our own, Toronto’s best “Dan Only”. He transformed “Toucan” into a grimey dancefloor beast, leading up towards a great breakdown where the spacey strings and pads from the original shine in an old school 90s light. Sonic delights all the way! Enjoy!

Dan Only - Threshold

“Derealization is an alteration in the perception of the external world, causing sufferers to perceive it as unreal, distant, distorted or falsified.”

The photo in the artwork is from my trip to Japan in 2018, which at this point is already starting to feel like a hazy dream. I thought this image of Nishiki Market captures that feeling of sensory fog and separation from reality quite well.

PREMIERE: Ajay Lux - Spiral

We’re proud to introduce a new Various Artists series, bearing the name ‘Full Spectrum’, a love letter to the musical continuum born out of the British rave scene and morphing over the course of decades. To inaugurate the first volume, we’ve assembled a selection of six tracks which outline where our generation of producers has currently taken this musical movement, with a savant array of groovy chops, breakbeat science and, obviously, earth shattering basslines.

Marseille’s Shonen Bat, key member of La Forge, opens with a dubbed out, spacious jungle piece with tasty breakbeat choppage, starting the release on the mellow side of things. He’s then followed by Trajectoire member Jumboclat with one of his trademark UKG bangers that’s guaranteed to make your friends finally ditch the smoking area and join back the dancefloor. Jungle powerhouse and Braindance label head FTL switches things up with a huge amen-driven emo breakbeat anthem. Don’t let the name fool you, Mambo Kahn’s ‘Gentle Push’ is guaranteed to move large amounts of air if you play it on the right soundsystem, courtesy of the generous sub bass the track boasts. Signed to hallmarks of today’s jungle landscape like Meditator Music or Tim Reaper’s Future retro label, Nashville’s Ontology brings the amiga-made jungle techno goodness on this release. Lastly, label manager and release curator Qant closes this first volume with a melancholic hardcore breakbeat tune, crafted with their trusty Digitakt sampler.

PREMIERE: Jumboclat - Back Into The Groove [Egregore Collective]

Immersed in music from an early age, the man like Obsidian Wave was born and raised in London. Coming up through the Jungle and Hardcore era, surrounded by pirate radio and illegal raves, these sounds are interlaced into his heavy, raw brand of techno and breaks to create a cutting edge sound with strong ties to the past.

Working as a Solo Artist and a quarter of the Rave Collective - 'We Kill Culture'.

PREMIERE: Obsidian Wave - Allnighter [Tribal Pulse]

Who would have thought... After 16 years since he started his career as a DJ, Gonçalo aka Terzi is now taking his first steps into production! With an easy smile and contagious good humor, his love for House is well known by everyone. Hence, it is more than natural that, when he finally decides to sit down in the studio with Diogo to produce, the result is exactly that: House. “Podia Ser Melhor” (PT for “it could be better”) is an EP that does justice to Gonçalo’s personality: honest, direct, sunny music with hints of naive genius, which come out as naturally and spontaneously as he grabs the mic to sing.

The first track “Estamos Na Pista” is an immediate hit. Classic house with nervous snares, tied to a heavy kick and bass, with a laid back vocal, reminiscent of some Portuguese pop hits from the 90s, and reflecting the most prosaic of passions on the dance floor (Dr. Sax or Bamboo Beat, “rings a bell”?).

The second track, “Bem Disposto” starts at a faster pace and immediately tests Gonçalo’s Hip Hop skills. Those who know him know that he missed out on a glorious career in the genre. If “Fetra” had discovered these skills early on, we would certainly have seen a feat with Iguanas by now... Catchy and rhythmic hooks and simple themes, taken from the banality of everyday life, reflect the positivity and lightness with which he faces each day... All this before the switch that happens by the middle of the track, and which quickly transforms it into some acid madness, driven by a “sampled” break and with some rave stabs in the mix.

A light and sunny EP, with a celebratory tone, ready to bring countless embarrassed smiles to the dance floor, from those who have found themselves in these situations a thousand times. Could it be better? It could. But it certainly wouldn't be half as fun!

There Ought to Be Møre Dancing is an exhilarating jazz house EP that not only invites movement but truly demands it. By blending rich jazz instrumentation with the pulse of tech house & deep house, this release showcases a masterclass in rhythm, soul, and sonic storytelling.

The horns, sprinkled throughout the project, evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of smoky jazz lounges while capturing the energy of a packed underground club. Whether you're on the dance floor or simply enjoying the vibe at home, this EP guarantees the rhythm never stops.

PREMIERE: Bønehead - Neon Gløw [Bøne.FM]

Dynamic duo Danny and Mike Parton return to their Jolene label with four more timeless cuts
The split EP features two tracks from each artist, with disco and house colliding in colourful style

House music has been a defining feature of the lives of the Parton brothers for as long as they can remember. They have lived and danced through many evolutions of it and bring all that knowledge and a love of 90s style and classy French touch cool to their own work. It has landed them big releases on plenty of top labels, often laden with superb samples and plenty of dance floor impact. Now they are focussing on their own Jolene Records and impress once more with this fourth outing.

Danny kicks oﬀ with 'Blow', a loopy disco-house gem lit up with bright synth lines and plenty of lavish hits that all build towards the drop. When it comes, the floor is sure to explode into a frenzy. Next is the fantastic 'Don Lobito' with its swirling pads and loved-up vocal sounds drifting over tight, kicking house drums. It's a perfect blend of the physical and the emotive.

Mike then steps up with 'Housewife', a moodier cut with menacing late-night energy, funky bass riﬀs and loose-limbed drums that are topped with erotic vocal whispers. The instant filter house classic that is 'Aspirateur' closes out with feel-good energy, expressive synth flourishes and soulful drums that bring life-aﬃrming joy to this most essential EP.

Danny Parton / Mike Parton's 'JOLENE 04' comes on vinyl and digital via JOLENE RECORDS on March 14th 2025.

PREMIERE: J LAMB - SARPI [Bad Tips]

Monolithic, Lounge 2 Function - Function Dub (Dan Only Club Dub) [Platonic Solids Inc.]

From the depths of Toronto’s underground scene, Dan Only delivers a fresh reimagining of the Deep House classic Function Dub. While the original captured the essence of a DJ’s secret after-hours weapon, the Dan Only Club Dub is precision-engineered for crisp, peak-time club energy at 140 BPM. Hazy, laid-back pads morph into intricately timed melodic stabs, while sustained basslines play a rhythmic game of tag with fast, energetic plucks. Topping it off, Dan Only flexes his percussive prowess, injecting breakbeat-fueled chaos to ignite the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Lounge 2 Function, Monolithic, Dan Only - Function Dub (Dan Only Club Dub) [Platonic Solids Inc.]

For his first release on Blankhaus, daisytwo delivers three tracks that move between DnB, experimental electronics, and sci-fi-inspired sound design. Precision and tension shape each piece, balancing rhythmic structure with abstraction. It’s a focused statement—mechanical, raw, and reflective.

PREMIERE: daisytwo - Violet Temptation [Blankhaus Music]

Haŵs Party Vol. 2 is a record of soulful, introspective tracks, as though you’ve suddenly become alone on the dance-floor and you turn inwards to explore. Whilst Haŵs Party Vol. 1 took an interstellar road-trip into space, the sophomore release takes a more drawn-out, lengthy cruise into the internalised, cerebral soundscapes of dance music. Wading through the borders between electro, breaks, acid and house, the second instalment from the Cardiff-based label and event promoters travels through uncharted regions of the sprawling atlas of music via another catalogue of exceptional names.
Jad & The’s honey-eyed electro opener ‘Digital Daintree’ is as groove-inducing as it is impassioned – a compact knit of synths, pads and rainforest samples that has no problem in stirring the creative hemisphere of the mind. The glossy interweave is torn apart swiftly, however, by the subsequent track; Dan Only’s ‘Pointless Melody’ is far from purposeless, but impishly bolts between weighty breaks and a greedy acidity that is tempered down by the dainty melody peering through the crevices. The final track on the A-side, ‘Hometurf’, comes from Aleksandir, who projects his lightheaded, wistful sound into warm breakbeats and a soaring repository of arpeggios that’ll have you ceaselessly yearning for some forgotten memory that you assumed had been lost forever.
Harry Griffiths’ ‘Llyn’ ushers away the breaks and replaces them with sun-dappled arrangements of chords and incandescent melodies that flutter like the hypnagogic visions that occur just before you dream. Carlo’s ‘White Lies’ takes the groove deeper than the fissures of the brain. Deliciously raw, balmy and with a frisky bassline, it’s a deep house track that gets back to the pure state of jamming through a wash of live samples from his collaborator, Nikoss. Does the past or future exist, or are we in the perpetual now? The existential rumination is carried gently back to reality with Sandboards rounding up proceedings. A placid coaxing out of the six-track reverie, ‘Japan Pt. 2’ scoops you up in nostalgic bells, pacifying drums and purring basslines until you’re ready to wake up.
It’s an internal excursion for all. Close your eyes, let the motions of your mind plunge deep into your soul, and have your body do the talking.

As the decade has rolled to a close, the ways in which fans discover music is more fractured and algorithmic than ever. Massive platforms use technology and playlists that many listeners have become reliant on to surface new and engaging tracks, and while there are still a handful of independent press outlets pushing releases from underserved artists, they are dwindling by the year. Yet in the face of a rapidly changing industry, there are still a number of even smaller collectives bucking the trend of computerized gatekeeping, thanks in no small part to the hard work and passion of like-minded individuals who care deeply and are driven to support and spread the music they love.

One such faction is the unrelenting and ever-evolving Bolting Bits, co-founded as a French language publication in 2014 by Florent Tarroux (who produces and DJs as Numea Daze) and his partner Sarah-Marie. Bringing Igor Bezuglov onboard in early 2016, together they helped Bolting Bits reach a more universal audience by transitioning their writing to the English language. Alongside a small team of rotating contributors, they've worked tirelessly to not only upload music from artists they admire, but also raise the profile of talented newcomers who are eager to share their efforts---many of whom have gone on to release on labels such as Shall Not Fade, Lobster Theremin, Feel My Bicep, and a myriad of high-profile outlets. With over 650 premieres under their belt, as well as over 100 original mixes and over 6 million plays on Soundcloud, Bolting Bits remains a beacon for the outer rims of traditional dance music, covering everything from jazz to acid to broken beat and beyond. They have thrown dozens upon dozens of parties in their local Montreal and have reached audiences across the globe (except Greenland…hurry up Greenland).

Now, Bolting Bits are extremely excited to announce their first official compilation, in partnership with renowned producers and artists who’ve been supporting and supported by the crew since the very beginning. With tracks from the likes of Jad & The, Aleksandir, Homage label owner Ryan Clover, and many others, this compilation stands as a testament to the amazing work and ethos of Bolting Bits. It will be available on both Bandcamp and the main Bolting Bits website, and will cost a minimum of 8 USD (though fans can pay-what-they-want to help further support the site)---the ultimate goal is to continue sharing amazing tunes from incredible artists to the people who care.
