For Maloca's 9th installment, Le Motel returns to his own imprint and joins forces with UK's versatile pidgin rap experimentalist Magugu. After their 2021 Shoalin collaboration, these 2 prolific artists embark on a new musical voyage. Their upcoming 4-track EP “Kindness Weakness” carefully intersects Bass, UK Garage, Grime and Jungle.

Magugu is a Nigerian poet who fluently unifies Afrobeat, Dancehall with Grime and Drum and Bass. While performing Magugu raps in Pidgin, which is an English-based creole language spoken in Nigeria. For more than a decade he's been making a name for himself as a Cardiff-based artist with a distinguishable raw voice. After numerous releases on his own imprint GUGUGANG Records, the Pidgin Rap Guru also released on cutting-edge labels like Deep Medi Musik and Critical Music and has worked with significant artists like My Nu Leng, Phase and Chad Dubz.

On Topper is a Jungle/Baile anthem about reaching goals in life, regardless of who steps in your way. Blend is about being an individual that doesn’t fit in with the crowd. Everyone should make their own decisions. Kindness Weakness refers to the fact that some people view kindness as a weakness. Yet everybody has had their share of dark moments too. The final track portrays the softer side of the duo's artistic versatility. A laid back UK Garage groove accompanied by Magugu's soothing voice. Let me down represents finding inner peace and creating your own happiness because in life there are too many people who will let you down. This one goes out to making a promise to yourself and never giving up.

Launched in 2020, Maloca Records aims to bring together an international network of artists. Maloca Vol. 1, featuring tracks by Nick León, OMAAR, DJ JM, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Coen, DJ N.K. and Tsongo. Maloca has also released solo EP's from Howie Lee, Farsight, Griffit Vigo, DJ JM and Yuto Takei.

Kindness Weakness

Magugu x Le Motel - On Topper

Early Reflex returns with its yearly appointment announcing a new V.A. to celebrate its 3rd birthday as a label.

Bringing the title of Flex004 the compilation features a selection of Leftfiled Club and Techno cuts from producers that have both already appeared on the label such as B E N N, Laenz, Sonia Calico and Alec Pace himself and other up and coming artists like Naco, Coe, Kincaid, Scalymoth, Ani Klang and the debut track from Ophélie.

Brisbane-based producer and DJ Scalymoth drops our feature: ‘Trashy’; an ode to drums and an outstanding club tool characterised by syncopated beats, snare rimshots and a pressing kick-drum played on the producer’s TR6s.

With summer and festival season in full swing, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for us to release the third installment of our ‘Club Drums’ series packed full of dancefloor-wrecking heaters, provided by an eclectic roster of international producers.

Kicking things off is Leed’s own Yilan, previously seen on Grid, Infinite Machine and Earth Movement, he opens the release with a slow yet stomping riddim, with flurries or darbukas banging on your eardrums. 

Hailing from New York, Sister Zo follows up after her banging EPs on Scuffed Recs and 3024 with a deep and hard hitting roller that’s guaranteed to make you move. 

Following up is Rinse France resident, producer and vocalist NOIRE, delivering a menacing and gloomy 4x4 banger. 

Egregore member and release co-curator Kaval comes in next with his trademark ‘FR Funky’ sound everybody is now very familiar with. 

With previous releases on Berlin’s infamous Tresor and All Centre, Zambia’s finest SHE Spells Doom also joins the roster. 

Rounding up this amazing selection of producers is Kindergarten Records’ Despina, ending this musical onslaught with a wonky, breakbeat-infused dancefloor weapon.

New York-based label Kindergarten Records is thrilled to unveil Ayesha’s (@aye5ha) debut album, ‘Rhythm is Memory’ – 10 boundary-pushing tracks, a shape-shifting percussive journey with electric moments. While intended for maximum dancefloor impact, Ayesha’s first LP is also conceptually thought-provoking and playful, exploring how bodies store and channel creative knowledge.

There were rules to this business, it wasn’t like any stranger could walk in off the street and make it to the top with a few flashy moves. There were principles which had to be learnt, experiences which would humble even the hardest of street veterans.

This sort of stuff took time, time he didn’t have.

Instead, he was looking for the quick, fast flick which might separate him from the rest and streamline his career to the top rank.

Some sort of trick, some sort of technology which might short circuit the whole game.

Cassius Select brings the Bass on a new compilation for Bristol label Amity. Featuring alongside the likes of Pluralist and qgb – this one packs a punch, the kind which stings for a while after.

As part of the first release from the Czech Republic-label Markham Road, French producer Beatrice M. contributes to their VA compilation with 'BAZ' – a dub-style heavy track that brings you to the sweet spot of low end frequencies. The compilation is spined by frequent collaborators of its sister platform Infame Radio. The consequent nine tracks vary along a scale of percussive rhythms both relating to established and experimental ideas. As a trial in itself, this project took shape through exponential conversations between all those creatively involved.
