We are excited to premiere such an energetic track pooling the talents of two exciting  producers. Divorce from New York and Hector Plimmer. 

We first encountered Divorce from New York as one half of soulful San Sebastian based production duo, Reykjavik606. Ahead of his frankly excellent ‘This Ain’t Jazz No More’, South London producer, DJ & composer Hector Plimmer has taken "Formula Paraiso" in a decidedly jungle & footwork inspired direction that swept us away on first listen, taking us on a journey for mind and body.

On  ‘This Ain’t Jazz No More’, Alvaro Granda, aka Divorce from New York, works broken beat leaning production into uplifting and syncopated sounds, sprinkling healthy pinches of jungle, house and jazz for extra flavour. ‘This Ain’t Jazz No More’ was inspired by the birth of his new born son, particularly the newly streamlined workflow we had to assume. 

With a fresh optimistic outlook and sampling-focused approach, Alvaro baked a batch of jazz-infused dancefloor ready bangers. Delving into his record collection for breaks, sculpting propulsive percussion, soulful keywork and heart tugging strings. Constructing an album that will work both as well at home as a smokey basement club. Hector Plimmer tells us more about his remix: 

“I’m always looking for the little details whilst listening out for a track to remix. The original track had plenty of things that caught my ear for me to play with & add my own spin on. I definitely wanted to keep hold of the rolling drum breaks but also wanted to add another layer of deepness, reaching back into the energy of more of the dance genres that have attracted me in the past. The lush chords also attracted me to the track, which I worked with just a little bit to get a different effect & sound from. I’m really happy with how this one came together, I think it took a day or so to complete because I was having so much fun! I was a massive fan of Reykiavik 606’s 'Endless Summer In Peckham’ EP so it was nice for me to hear the progression into the Divorce from New York project.”

‘This Ain´t Jazz No More’, including Hector's remix, will be released on Forbidden Colours on April 29.

Direct from the deepest corner of the southern hemisphere, a.k.a. Perth, Western Australia, Good Company Records is a new outlet for the music of our "West Coast Underground", born out of four years of parties and a newly-opened specialist record store of the same name.

For GCR001, we have worked with local fishing outfitter Hugo Gerani to offer a grab bag of quality night-time tackle sure to land you the big one! From the deep jacking "About Face" to the VIP 'deep sea' dub of his classic "Baited Drum Lines" through to luminescent throbber "Freeze Action (Desire)", there's something for every condition and skill level.

Born on the Aegean Sea but now calling the Indian Ocean home, in retirement Mr Hugo Gerani supplies local jocks with the very best gear money can't buy - most handmade in his modest atelier - but with this record his products are finally available to discerning deejays worldwide!

"I’ve been a fan of Djrum for some time since hearing some of his early mixes and having seen him play out in his effortlessly interesting and bold style many times with the same philosophy applied in his tunes I had always hoped to collab with him. We managed to pull “Ruins” out of the hat and I’ve been waiting a while to reveal this mad mixture of hardcore and lo fi slow-mo energy  to the world. It’s a perfect fit for this amazing compilation of music, which I can’t wait to share with you all this coming September!"
- Om Unit

Fresh from a series of artist-led 12"s, Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge label returns with 'Dark Matter', its first compilation since 2017's 'Cosmology Selections'. Collected in a triple vinyl LP / digital formats, the release offers a fresh snapshot of the exciting possibilities and experiments happening at the intersection of hip-hop, jungle and bass music; a hybrid sound the label has pioneered since its first release eight years ago. 

Across 14 tracks, 'Dark Matter' showcases Cosmic Bridge's growing global roster of artists: Moresounds, Danny Scrilla, Proc Fiskal, Margari's Kid, Oliver Yorke, J:Kenzo, TMSV, vromm, alongside new faces Samba and Rude Operator, and perennial favorites Es.tereo, Synkro and Djrum, the latter two in collaboration with label head Om Unit. 

Stylistically the compilation covers a broad range, and gives listeners the space to digest it all with a running time of 75 minutes. There are stripped-down, meditative rollers such as TMSV's flute-led 'Ominous', the bass hypnosis of Danny Scrilla's 'Sacred Waters', and Samba's snappy, booming remix of Om Unit's 'The Lake'. The timeless energy of jungle is channeled in Proc Fiskal's 'Death', a percussive, bouncy number, while Moresounds plays with filters (and your mind) as he refines a less-is-more take of classic themes on 'Watating'. J:Kenzo highlights the music's Jamaican roots on 'Dub For Bashenga'; a tough, pounding cut that goes straight for the chest and which finds its counterpoint in Rude Operator's 'Broken Sky'. 

For those who like more expansive, cinematic approaches there are epic waves of drums, slick editing and euphoria in Es.tereo's 'Floating Point' and Vromm's 'Decentralized', while Oliver Yorke's 'Treasured' and Margari's Kid's 'Challenger' squeeze soul from colder sound palettes and tight breakbeats. 

Om Unit's two collaborations, 'Reflections' with Synkro and 'Ruins' with Djrum, reflect the compilation's ambitions and breadth. The former is a delicate, uplifting roller that sets you up for the dark rumblings, freeform stylings and frenetic rhythms of the latter. The compilation ends with a track that arguably stands tall on its own, Crypticz's 'Chrysalis' feat. Amy Kisnorbo; an 11-minute epic that plays out like a love letter to the magic of breakbeat science, dub technology and human creativity. 

Dark Matter is a finely crafted statement of intent from Cosmic Bridge and Om Unit, shunning easy self-congratulation for a dive into the musical potentials and connections of a sound that is now an established part of the global bass music vocabulary.
