(official release date 15.02.2024)

There must be something in the water in the northern parts of Norway as it keeps producing wonderfully leftfield electronic music. MAde is the latest to add to a rich lineage and his new EP comes with some heavyweight remixes that will leave DJs scratching their heads, wondering which mix to play.

Gjer Inkort is a no nonsense, heads down, peak time banger that puts it’s foot to the floor and doesn’t let up. Jacking drums, nagging synths and a driving bass bring the heat.

Making his first appearance on Paper, Jimpster shows why he’s one of the the world’s most respected house producers. Tight beats, wonky synths, rolling NRG bass,and immaculate production, there’s not a floor this won’t rock.

Full EP: 
1. MAde - Gjer Inkort
2. MAde - Gjer Inkort (Jimpster Remix)
3. MAde - Offentlig Salærsats

Beat Resurgence: Diving into Sexy Lazer's 'Mid Life Crisis' Remix Collection. The original track, "Mid Life Crisis" by an Icelandic, Copenhagen based artist Sexy Lazer emerged from the depths of a personal spiritual journey – a turbulent yet transformative experience. The confusion, the waves of emotions, the melancholy – all channeled into a hurricane of energy that birthed not just a song, but an entire concept. Sexy Lazer turned pain into power, humorously embracing the tumultuous journey while sipping on "Mid Life Cider." 

Now, The narrative persists with a remix collection ready to resonate with a global audience. We invite you to rediscover "Mid Life Crisis" through the lenses of three distinguished artists, each infusing their musical identity into the mix. The first remix takes flight under the skilled hands of Panthera Krause, who is based in Leipzig and co-label owner of fulfilment. His interoperation of the original features arpeggiated synths, detuned elements, and distorted percussion, creating an edgy, unpredictable atmosphere. Elevated bass guitar notes ground the track, while Krause injects a distinctive rawness, channeling the unapologetic spirit of punk rock. 

Colossio and Theus Mago join forces in the crafting of the second remix, both hailing from the vibrant music scene in Mexico. They embody the spirit of "Blade" in their remix for Sexy Lazer's "Midlife Crisis" infusing the track with the legendary 303 blending nostalgia with futuristic energy. A robust baseline propels listeners onward, supported by percussive elements that add depth and texture to the musical experience. 

The remix package for "Midlife Crisis" is set to make its digital debut on February 16th. Hit reset, take another shot, and let those remixes be the soundtracks to your journey towards joy and fulfillment – even if 
it's just for the duration of this musical ride.

Beatservice Records offer up something rather special this time out, with Flash Atkins arriving on the label with no less than three remixes of Third Attempt's 'Keep Your Head Up'.

Producer Flash Atkins should need little in the way of introduction, the Manchester-based artist having served up countless dancefloor moments over the years - most often on the legendary Paper Recordings. He's known for crafting glittering, disco-centric sounds, and has worked with the likes of Kathy Diamond, Leilani, George Demure, and Danielle Moore among others.

Here, he delivers typically refined versions of 'Keep Your Head Up' from label regular, Third Attempt, a track lifted from last year's brilliant 'Momentary Bliss' album. The main remix toughens up the drums to add a little more thrust to the dreamy instrumentation, with spacey overdubs and staccato synths adding a gently psychedelic quality to the memorable strings and piano licks of the original.

The 'Dub' version strips back the orchestration to allow the rhythm to take centre stage as a distorted riff carries the groove across a floor-focused arrangement - a hypnotic motif that carries through to the gorgeously atmospheric 'Reprise' mix, where the drums give way to the celestial harmonics and evocative vocal textures.

Three magnificent interpretations, each of which is primed to enhance various shades of musical mood - from the main room to the back room and far, far beyond.

Here's my set from the Extinction Rebellion fundraiser at Hebden Bridge Trades club. It was a brilliant night playing to an up-for-it party crew  that spans the generations, as only the Calder Valley can do.

His DJ sets jump genres from house to disco, Italo, ‘jolly techno’ to boogie & ‘weird
Stuff’ alongside his own productions & remixes which have entertained dancers
at gatherings not only at clubs and festivals in the UK, but also across across
Europe at the likes of Barbarellas Discotheque & for Frekuensi Minor in

“For the Feincast I wanted to try and focus on an sounds that are very much in my sets when playing the late set at any Sticky Heat parties as well as at ALFOS but which are also quite easily linked to my sound as The Thief Of Time. Being a child of the 80’s I have a particular findness for sounds that are heavy on synths and packing loads of energy whether that’s fast or slow, stripped back of stacked with loads of layers. Hopefully that is fully represented here!"

Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe are the masterminds behind the PBR Streetgang. Together, the lads have already had their works issued in some of the most important House-meets-Disco labels out there such as Salsoul, West End, Futureboogie, Lumberjacks In Hell, Wolf Music, KURTZ, Domino, Discolypso, and Sprechen, to name a few. They are finally back to the latter with the second episode of their “Trans Pennine Express” endeavour. Named after a British train operating company that runs regional and inter-city rail services between the major cities and towns of Northern England and Scotland, the EP, like its predecessor, presents the duo flirting with their most cosmic influences, resulting in true zero-gravity-embedded cuts. On the remix duties, Gina Breeze and Massey, the label boss himself.

For their “Space Cake” recipe, instead of hash, milk, sugar, flour, eggs, and baking powder, Chiefs Bradberry and Thorpe used different but equally psychedelic ingredients: a throbbing bassline, rhythmic percussive elements, trippy synth layers, and a spot-on acid gait culminated in one of the most valuable cuts of the release.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/sprechen/50925

PREMIERE624 // PBR Streetgang - Space Cake

The boys are back in town with a B-A-N-G!

PBR Streetgang take a trip onboard the Trans Pennine Express for a follow up to their previous Sprechen outing and as you'd expect its a full throttle aural delightful dishing out of electronic music movers & grovers. With one foot in the Italo disco and the other in the dank & murky underbelly of Berlin squat raves this is indeed one that slaps hard.

Gamma Ray is a straight up chugger with a hypnotic stack of arps that you get lost in before some wonky style ear worms synth lines pop by to mess with your endorphins before its back to bubbling basics. Simplistic, trippy & banging in equal measures.

Delivery Man ramps it right up to peak time pinging action and its all kind of late night, body jacking brilliance. Rolling arps & bass line get you mind surfing along with a laser reaching style breakdown along the way. Again totally simple in its nature but its hefty as heck and will defo do the damage.

Space Cake is almost an amalgamation of the 2 previous tracks. Chuggy & thudding but also with some seriously tripped out synth lines that engulf you & totally wrap around your psyche and yes, it also has a mega hyped breakdown. Big indeed!

We roped in some of our finest to provide remixes for this jaunt. Sprechen head honcho Chris Massey takes on Gamma Ray and sprinkles some his Thief Of Time type dust into the equation to deliver an 80's-ALFOS-Synth heavy rework. Big banging mega human Gina Breeze remixes Delivery Man and turns in a twisted, tweaky & straight up banging late night/early morning houser that stomps & whallops at gale force #50.

Jamie L – (What We Saw) In The Burg

A. 	In The Burg
	In The Burg (Havana Candy Mix)
B 	In The Burg (Cottam Remix)

Paper Recordings continue their journey back to plastic with another vinyl release once again proving why they remain one of UK’s best loved labels.. 

Jamie L is a mysterious figure of undisclosed origin and history   who fits in to the Moodyman / Theo Parrish mold of heavy future disco; which his new production ‘(What We Saw) In The Burg’ nails.

It’s a heavy groove laid over broken house beats with a filtered bass, samples and leftfield vibe.  The Detroit pad creeps up to the break and filters in and out as the track works it’s way through for locked down dance floor business.

Next up, Havana Candy breaks out the analogue and takes things deeper and techier.  With a rolling bass and tweaking acid line, it cuts to a Rhodes before filtering down and riding back to the heads down groove.

Cottam steps up for Paper for the first time and demonstrates what all the fuss is about with a very special mix.  Clocking in at 9.41 it’s deep, tough soulful house that crosses the 4/4 divide from techno to disco and deep house to soul.


Ron Basejam (Crazy P) - Love the original, everything he does oozes class and this is no different. Cottam just shades it though, pitch down wild-pitch shit. 

Red Rack'em - Original mix is the one for me.

Jamie L - In The Burg (Cottam Mix) 96kbps OUT ON DIGITAL

Paper has been pushing all things deep house and disco from the furthest reaches of the world via the good old North of England since the early Nineties.

The label has already featured a new series of EP's showcasing the best new dance music and future funk, house and disco from the world's finest producers.

We kicked off in 1994, leading the upsurge in popularity of UK house music within an underground scene previously dominated by a soundtrack from US cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York. Enhanced by a strong visual identity, as well as impeccable musical quality control PAPER was, and is one of the world’s most treasured record companies.

It continues to be funk-fuelled and bottom heavy!
