Flash Atkins has pulled together a crack team of musicians for Sanza Mibale Ya Bo Pemi. It is a tribute to the golden age of afro disco, when the sounds of 70s New York found their way to the continent and fused with local musical styles and rhythms.

Felix Ngindu sings in his native Lingala language from DRC over a locked bass, congas, keys, percussion, rhythm guitar and a brass section from Haggis Horn's Atholl Ransome and Malcolm Strachan. Funk, disco, soul and jazz all blend for a a peak time jam.

The Flash Dub strips things back to the rhythm section for heads down, dubby action and a tracky take that still packs a dance floor punch.

The incomparable Bosq steps up for remix duties and knocks it out the park. Layered drums and percussion give things a more latin swing before the beats break, piano enters the fray and it's a tropical funk party starter all the way.

The dub does the beat thing, rocking a hard groove for the dancers. Hands in the air? F**ck yeah!

Across "Kwon Anthem EP", Zimmer balances hypnotic, orchestral breakdowns, progressive trance textures built from Roland SRX patches (“Kwon’s Anthem”), and a cosmic, downtempo detour structured around a 707 jam (“Hours”). It’s his most ambitious and wide-ranging statement yet — and a fitting debut on Life and Death.

PREMIERE : Andre Zimmer - Hours

Feeling more alive can mean different things to different people, but it often revolves around engaging deeply with the present moment, embracing new experiences, and reconnecting with passions or things that spark joy.

Is there a particular area that feels like it could help you feel more alive right now?

The music began to pound in the ears, it danced and moved.

This was the way.

Loxodrome releases a killer EP via Cyphon Recordings, a deep, technical workout which has us toe tapping and head bobbing in the best of ways.

After 2 outings on recent SHOUTS compilations, Asa Tate lands on Rhythm Section Intl proper with a timeless EP - “ Replica”.

Asa Tate, fka Tech Support has been on a bit of a tear recently and this record feels like a real step up: a statement of intention aimed directly at the peak time dance floor.

A student of the Weatherall school of DJing, Asa Tate has showcased an astonishingly mature approach to production over the years that belies his age. You’d be forgiven for thinking these 4 tracks had been discovered from a dusty DAT tape, locked away in the vaults of a northern Italian club and rediscovered after 30 years….Listen more closely and you’ll notice the contemporary production flair and more recent influences that make this EP a perfect reinterpretation of the mid 90s house sound: sitting somewhere between dream house and Morales finest work under the red zone moniker.

A serious production with whimsical spirit, Make It Strong marks the start of a new era for The Fitness at his new home.

PREMIERE : The Fitness - Make It Strong

Melómana Records reaches its 53rd release with a launch that marks a new milestone in its journey, presenting a truly special talent within the international electronic scene. Pino, a Tbilisi-based producer and live performer, is celebrated for his unique way of moving between indie dance and house, driven by an improvisational spirit and a raw analog sound that turn each performance into an intense and immersive experience.

His new EP, Focus 10, condenses all that energy into two original tracks full of personality. The title track pulls us into a break and electro universe with a vibrant, driving bassline that never lets up, while Kage slows down the tempo into a slowmotion trip, where a hypnotic low-end and powerful impact create a dark and magnetic journey that grips from the very first beat.

The release is completed with two remixes that take the EP even further. Panka Panka, part of the Melómana family, deliver a reinterpretation loaded with groove, infused with tech textures and acid touches that perfectly reflect their unmistakable sound. Meanwhile, Madrid-based Alice B pushes the track into a minimal realm with psycho shades and an unrelenting punch designed to hit the dancefloor hard.

With Focus 10, Melómana Records not only celebrates a new addition to its catalogue, but also reaffirms its commitment to fresh and daring proposals, consolidating its reputation as a label that builds bridges between scenes and delivers sonic experiences that go far beyond the conventional.

https://www.instagram.com/blaschkoalley/

Blaschko Alley open their account with a patient, low-slung statement. “I Died In Vegas” moves like a train, drum machines locked, bassline glued, synthwork smearing the edges. “Near Death Experience” turns the screw with a dub-heavy guitars and a half-time groove that feels built for red lights and smoke.

“Falls” is the EP’s release valve, a slow, woozy sway with a driving energy and steadily rising arpeggio. “Fallen Angels” closes the circle, stitching post-punk texture to indie-dance momentum for a track that never hurries yet never lets go.

Sitting comfortably between 90 and 115 BPM, BLSK001 channels the late-night gravity of Andrew Weatherall and the spacious heft of classic Leftfield. It is music that rewards DJs who trust the long blend.

The tall building looked out upon the ants which moved back and forth on the pavement down below. The ivory tower was taller than all else which sat within sight, there was no superior powerhouse in all the land. In the distance the river could be seen running parallel to the great fortress, it was a wild and perilous beast which had taken the life of many a sailor out on the water. This was a kingdom with risk and danger, trouble and edge but it was all goverened by the delicate beauty of the man looking down from above...

Skudge have unveiled the latest in their ever growing 12" series as they deliver two finely tuned techno cuts complete with glitches and bleeps in all the right places.

Alan Fitzpatrick has started something with his imprint We Are The Brave – the selection of artists who have released on the label in the last 2 years shows his dedication to giving a home to the best underground music around for his loyal and dedicated fans. Club anthems come to mind, with tracks like Alan’s ‘We Do What We Want’, Gary Becks ‘Just One More’ and the recent smash hit ‘Poison’ from UK legend Skream. 

We’ve had some cracking new releases from brand new artists, showcasing some of the best of the emerging talent out there. But for now, we welcome one of Scotland finest producers, and one of Alan’s long-time mates – Harvey McKay.

“We both started out around the same time and I've always been drawn to his style of driving, soulful techno. I signed his three-track McGurk Effect EP to my 8 Sided Dice label back in 2011, so it was exciting to get sent some new music and I fell in love with all three tracks after just one weekend of testing them out." – says Alan

The title track ‘Set Back’ has that old Detroit sound, but modernized with a tough edge. Vocal samples stab through the jacking synth hook and its explosive kick drum ensure some serious fist pumping action required. 

“Balter somehow reminds me of that Love Parade vibe from the 90’s” – says Harvey. Its rolling low end and vocal manipulation sit alongside drum rolls which build a heady groove. “It’s not like it sounds like a 90s track, but it certainly has the spirit of those times” – adds Harvey.

“Hahaha Rush is just a track that's come from hanging out with Gary Beck all the time!”. Its stripped back with a driving percussion power, and maybe the moodiest of the EP with a lot of texture and attitude.

“Alan and I have known each other from the very start, he’s a sound geez and always got his ear on the pulse – it’s so nice to be working together on this release.” – Harvey.
