Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMLP046

Escapism is a theme that runs through the very heart of music. We listen to be transported, removing ourselves from our immediate surroundings as our senses relax and the sonic experience washes over us. During times of hardship, such a sensation is naturally magnified. Music gifts us a way out from our challenges, allowing us to choose how we feel in response to the sounds we hear. This theme has been explored meticulously by Audiojack over the past four years, resulting in the release of their second album, Surface Tension, on Crosstown Rebels this April. 

The pair described the meaning behind the album, encapsulating what inspired them to pursue the four-year project: “In the modern world our attention has become so fragmented with technological distractions. We wanted to create a piece of music that could be an escape from that, where someone can close their eyes and let their imaginations fill in the gaps that the other senses have left behind.” 

The journey sets off with Subterranea, a futuristic breaks-inspired cut that features shimmering female vocals throughout. It feels both euphoric and spacious, taking us to a world far removed from ours. The first collaborative effort comes next in the form of Under Your Skin. Released as the album’s lead single in February, Kevin Knapp’s weighty lyrical offering takes no prisoners, paving the way for the track’s punchy, percussion-heavy backbone. 

The American producer and vocalist is no stranger to the label, having collaborated with Audiojack previously on Implications as well as releasing Flipped on Crosstown’s sister imprint Rebellion. Binaural Dreaming soon arrives, plunging us into a sensory experience thanks to an array of worldwide field recordings, which simulate the experience of a dream. 925 Shift ups the pace, pairing resonant kick-hat combos against a myriad of robot-like synths whilst gentle keys chime softly in the background. 

Surreal yet familiar in one, it opens smoothly into Easy Rider, a groove-led, minimal laced dance number that transports us to brighter days with upbeat piano rolls and dream-like chords. Psychoactive pt. 1 continues the warming theme, delving further into tropical realms. Ethereal pads blend into pulses of acid to form an immersive auditory piece.

Doorly & Hauswerks - Tribal Misfits EP

Premiere: Doorly & Hauswerks - Baby Blues [Get Physical]

Believe the hype: One of Catz 'n Dogz most popular tracks enjoys a widescreen, full flavour remix boost with a host of exciting new reinterpretations from Sebra Cruz, Alan Dixon, Vhyce and Nowheretobefound.

A beautiful emotional trip, built around the instantly disarming dulcet tones of Jono McCleery, 'Would You Believe' was one of the runaway success stories of Polish duo Catz 'n Dogz' fourth studio album 'Friendship'. Released just over two years ago, in October 2019, it's remained a Pets favourite ever since, racking up over 2 million streams on Spotify alone.

'We love this track, this is one of our most successful songs, its often on the radio and people ask about it all the time. That's why we were thinking to refresh it a bit and ask our friends to remix it.'

The 'Friendship' gift that keeps on giving, 'Would You Believe' has undergone a full refresh across the board with new styles and vibes from close friends of the label, each one suiting a different chapter of the night.

Ex-Margot member Sebra Cruz sets us on our merry way with a chilled a dubby intro that suddenly breaks out into an ardent piano-slapping house bomb waiting to explode. He's swiftly followed by Alan Dixon who maintains that buoyancy and positivity across two incendiary versions - a firing club version and a beautiful reprise for those special creative mixing moments.

Looking for a more sober, heavy-gravity take on Jono's voice and Catz N Dogz original? Jump on the deep dub science of Nowheretobefound, the latest off-piste exploit from Polish D&B artist Satl's new side alias. Last but not least, Vhyce returns to the label to make us float again with his two highly cosmic deep, synthy house takes.

No cut covering the same ground, each cut shining a whole new light on the original, this is the way remix packages should be. You better believe it.

Drinking to their tenth year in the game, Hive Audio enter 2022 with a celebratory compilation triptych featuring some of the finest names in the house and techno scenes. For this first salvo of incendiary wares bound to bring dance floors to a steady simmer, HA have gathered a stellar cast of big-guns and longtime affiliates including Seth Troxler, Anja Schneider, Steve Bug, Mathias Kaden, Gorge and Dario D'Attis. 

Anja Schneider's "Aperol Spritz" toasts first with a fuzzy mix of rolling 4x4 dynamics and sleek textured synth arpeggios. A paced-up number both lounge-ready yet lacking no oomph when a solid kickstart move is required, this one's better tasted on the rocks with a mini-umbrella in it. 

Old-school to the core, Dario D'Attis "Tanzstube" loops us in a turn-of-the-millennium filtered-house kind of headspace, replete with the soulful, sample-heavy hooks and end-to-end funky swagger bound to trigger some ravishing memories and create new ones amongst the dancers. 

A smashing, hard-shuffling workout hybridised with a Quadrant Dub type of distant lineage, Gorge's "Azami" goes for the epic-sized rather than the intimately acclimated. Primed for both hi-impact and long-distance use, this is gutsy stuff with enough stamina to withstand the most feverish of nights. 

Mathias Kaden's 303-boosted treat "Acid Trip" does exactly what's written on the tin, so expect a wild deluge of flickering new beat-informed rhythms, untamed drums and lysergic bass ellipses to keep you and your friends on the edge of mental sanity throughout.

Meanwhile, Seth Troxler's contribution "Crypto Slave" pulls out the sturdy bass leads and bouncy keyboard work for some fun roller-coaster action with something of a carefree, early 90s rave vibe to it. Ideal for gym-tonic sessions in your fav neon-coloured, form-hugging outfit. 

A most fitting manifesto of a tune, Steve Bug's overly suave "Let's Go" cuts a path of sense-awakening hedonism in the club with its battery of sizzling-hot bass, love-making-like churn and sensual pep talk oozing guilty pleasures ahead. 

Question is, are you ready?

L is for Lights Out: Part 4 in a series of 9 weekly releases that make up Audiojack's Isolation Tapes. 

https://gruuvlabel.bandcamp.com/track/lights-out

'The Isolation Tapes came together accidentally during lockdown. Getting lost in the music-making process was our way to escape the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty which presented themselves with the emergence of Covid. We had no plan beyond escapism, but a cleared schedule gave us lots of time to explore new ideas. After we'd made a few tracks we started to realize the importance of bringing this music together under one project, a musical reference point for this strange period in time, and so the Isolation Tapes was born - a series of singles we made during lockdown whose titles all begin with a different letter from the word: I S O L A T I O N.' -  Audiojack
