A reintroduction to a unique force in the history of British music

Big Dada Records – Mixed by Maral

The first FBM workshops have just started and we can already tell you our mentees will be bringing some serious energy to your local bass scene! And since we're speaking of energy... 

For the second installment of FBM's guest mixes, the Leipzig-based FLINTA* collective BLADE take over and remind us what a sweaty club night sounds like with a banger of a mix 🔥🥵 Get ready for 90 minutes of pure electro extravaganza 🦾, nasty breaks and pumping beats 👽 which will put you in a fiery weekend mood right away 🌪 ⚠️

* @blade-lpz was founded in 2020 when @bephaal and @l_eeza planned to host a party at Leipzigs' Institut für Zukunft, called BLADE. Due to corona it couldn't take place and lots of streams popped up. Also @bunny_tsukino showed her skills at some streams like the conne iso stream of Conne Island. Leeza spotted her and invited her for some aperol spritzes. We decided to found a new collective cause we didn’t find FLINTA*/queer artist playing our kind of style, enough represented in the rave scene of Leipzig. The name is a reference to the legendary Blade vampire movie and its grand opening club scene. Of course also a metaphor for razorsharp music and cutting edge genres. The rest is herstory.

She rubbed her eyes and squinted around the room, her gaze still clouded in the early morning haze. As her vision cleared, she realised she didn't recognise her surroundings. The room felt vaguely familiar, as if she had visited it a life time ago, but she didn't live here. At least she was pretty certain she didn't. How had she come to be here? As she rose from the bed, a picture on the mantelpiece caught her eye. As she approached it, she gulped. There she was, clear as day... Her own image smiling back at her.

Following her debut last year with the razor sharp Womanhood, Orphan. Records co-founder Klein Zage returns with an EP on her own imprint, inspired by her beloved service industry. The three tracks on Tip Me Baby One More Time move through the motions; the A-Side provides a snapshot of Zage 'clocked in' while the B-Side - our pick, 'I'm Almost Certain That I'm Here' featuring fellow Orphan co-founder Joey G ii - takes things into more introspective realms, with twinkling dubwise electronics layered with Zage's wistful yet commanding vocals.

All profits from the release will be donated to the Restaurant Worker's Community Foundation Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund as well as New York's 'Service Worker's Coalition', in light of the impact that the Covid-19 crisis is having on the restaurant industry.

Tip Me Baby One More Time

PREMIERE: Klein Zage feat. Joey G ii - I'm Almost Certain That I'm Here [Orphan. Records]

Following her 2019 debut Womanhood EP released on her own Orphan Records, Klein Zage makes a triumphant return with a new record - 'Tip Me Baby One More Time' 

'Tip Me Baby One More Time' is EP inspired by anthemic exposé of the server/guest dynamic in the restaurant business, the service close to Zage's heart. Zage sees the restaurant as a club, the service floor as a dance floor - a place for performing the same. 

Our pick for today is a remix by Livity Sound and Wisdom Teeth affiliate, Facta. Incredibly talented Londoner takes original and twists it into a feel-good funky break-house track, with chopped Zage's vocals, airy synths, graceful chords, and uplifting piano arps. 

In light of the impact that the Covid-19 crisis is having on the restaurant industry, all profit from this release will benefit Restaurant Worker's Community Foundation Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund as well as New York's 'Service Worker's Coalition'. Now more than ever this industry needs you to 'Tip! Baby One More Time'.

Stepping up for a special entry in the Members Mix series we have Balamii and Day Timers affiliate Yung Singh providing us with the Sounds of Punjabi Garage. Peep what he has to say about the mix and the importance of the underground Punjabi scene of the late 90s/early 00s:

“I really wanted to put together a mix that showcased the full range of Punjabi garage, from proper speedy garage to 4x4 with loads of swing, proper shuffly 2-step ,and more contemporary releases. There are tunes in here from the 90s, early 00s all the way to brand new and unreleased bits. One hour of 100% garage from 100% Punjabi producers/vocalists. 

This mix is really an ode to the late 90s/early 00s Asian Underground movement that was so important for mine and my older sibling's generation - one of the main reasons I got into music and DJing was mostly because of listening to my older siblings playing garage/jungle/house when I was growing up, with Punjabi garage my first love! “

Following the success of 2019’s The Ghost EP, which garnered praise from the likes of Bradley Zero, Resident Advisor and DJ Python, Pub Talk arrives October 16th, as the debut LP from London bred and Queens based Joey G ii. Written over the course of five years, Pub Talk centers on Joe reliving the genuinely enlightening nights of his youth in late noughties South London, peppered with the pseudo-philosophical banter typical of a dwindling night out. Over the course of nine tracks, Joe attempts to unlearn all the ways in which those nights taught him to be a man.

Twelve years into his career as a musician, Joey G ii counts Tim Goldsworthy, Dave Okumu, & Mick Jones among his supporters and collaborators. Combining all his honed skills as a guitarist, producer, singer, engineer & composer, Pub Talk relishes in housey bass riffs, modulating chord progressions, anthemic vocals and Prince-inspired guitar. Conjuring moments of upbeat DFA-esque house, melodic UKG, and introspective experimental pop, the album features Orphan. co-founder Klein Zage as well as extra production credits from London based Reckonwrong.

Subverting patriarchal trends, spoonfed to his generation by their fathers, and their fathers before them, Joey G ii grapples with what it means to be a modern man. Searching for a new way to express his masculinity, he ruminates on the Pub Talk of his youth.
