Before their much anticipated debut album arrives this Friday, RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) connect with fellow acclaimed Michigan natives Royce Da 5’9” and JMSN for a soulful new single, “True.”

There’s a deep and potent weight to the track, which stems from RSXGLD’s self-titled album, and it permeates through each element. JMSN, who appeared on lead single “I Believe,” sings his heart out on the chorus that pushes us all to leave the past behind us. And on their verses, Ro and Royce detail their respective come-ups and all they’ve been through to get to where they are today. As Nickel-Nine raps at the end of his bars, “A n***a had negatives but my positive just gon’ have to outweigh it/ N***a, I’m just happy I made it.”

“True” hits especially hard because of its musical elements, too, which are brought through the immaculate work of 14KT and guest DJ Assault. You may know Assault for being one of the forebearers of the electro-dance sub-genre of Ghettotech, and he brings that sound straight to the beat on here for track’s second half. 

“True” represents a musical journey of so much that Michigan has to offer the world, and it’s one hell of a way to get ready for RSXGLD’s impending release. 

Check out the track, and head over to the retailer of your choice to pre-order ‘RSXGLD,' which drops this Friday, Nov 03. In addition to Royce, JMSN and DJ Assault, the 12 track LP also boasts features from Denaun Porter, Elzhi, Ronnie McNeir and more, and will be available in all formats (CD, vinyl, and stream/download), via Fat Beats Records.

PREMIERE: Max Essa - How You Showed Me Everything [Hell Yeah Recordings]

I realized last weekend that I had not done a mix since early 2017 and it was about time to bring the series back. So here is Habibi Funk Mix 008 with a selection of vinyl and tapes which were originally released in the 1970s, 1980s, and even as late as late 1990s. We got a couple of previews for material we have licensed and that will drop in the future from artists such as the Golden Hands, Attarazat Addahabia, The Scorpions and Majid Soula. Apart from the that I’m super happy to have Libya covered with 3 tracks, a country about whose musical heritage I didn’t know much outside Ahmed Fakroun obviously. From the obscure to the more known....
Thanks to Mehdi for the Golden Hands recording.

"Habibi Funk 008 Mix" (70s, 80s & 90s vinyl and tapes from the Arab world)

CV040, If I Don't is an embodiment of all that is unsure, that feeling you get before you make a choice of any real depth. Introspective feelings of reflection and nostalgia run through the blood and marrow of this instrumental & it shows through to the listener perfectly. The track displays the beauty of indecision perfectly & we are more than happy to feature it.

Pinkman delivers another sturdy record for the connoisseurs of discomforting electronics. The second 5 Years Of Tears release unifies 6 artists, each with their own interpretation of the labels ill-famed sound, embodied in vibrating basslines, metallic beats, and corrosive acid. Gear yourself up for yet more nerve-racking music and get accustomed to the obscurity of this series of releases, because the madness is all but finished.

Megalodon Music (EP)

HI TRAX is Melbourne’s newest underground collective, comprised of producer RaptorHandz (A.K.A Able8), Joe Snow (Defenders Of Style, UK) and Hilltop Hoods APRA grant recipient Sinks. 

Megalodon Music is a sustained onslaught of technical flows woven over the violent bass lines of RaptorHandz. The record also boasts a feature from top ranking UK Grime and D’n’B MC Devilman. With determination to put heavy pressure on dance floors through the use of relentless bass, and complex double-time flows, Hi Trax is set to light the scene on fire.

HI TRAX pays homage to Hip-Hop, Grime and Dubstep and blends these influences to create a unique style of up-tempo, bass-heavy electronica. Their first video single; ‘Locked’, taken from the groups debut EP ‘Megalodon Music’ was filmed and directed by prominent videographer; Carl Allison which saw the deployment of his signature cinematic prowess. The opening track puts the crews raw talent on full display seamlessly, merging genres.

I Luv It

Leyla Records presents their next VA: Unwitch - The Presence, featuring label regulars and newcomers alike.

Commencing proceedings with an industrial churner is Leyla debutant I Hate Models with 'Beloved & Damned', making use of crunchy drums and concise percussion. The sharp call and response stabs cut through the speakers like shards of glass, acting as a hook for the listener as the reduced tempo slugs and punches along.

47 regular and Scalameriya collaborator VSK provides a solid A2 with 'Inception'. Rolling drums and impressive sound design create a concrete wall of sound, dense in detail and off-kilter percussion. Ominous drones and one-shots marry together to produce a polyrhythmic feel, pushing and pulling the listener between aggressive propulsion and elongated pads.

The B-Side gets underway with an interesting first time collaboration between Chafik Chennouf (Leyla, Opal Tapes), Manni Dee (Tresor, Perc Trax), and Huren (Zhark, AMOK Tapes), crossing borders and styles to produce a broken-beat punk infused techno track. The sardonic vocals from Huren channel aggression, mocking the state of the scene, consumerism and exploitation. Chennouf and Dee collaborate to produce an acid infused roller, with halftime percussion and distorted kicks, backed with field recordings from Chennouf's visits to Morocco.

Fresh of the back of releases on L.I.E.S and Dekmantal UFO Series, Parrish Smith closes proceedings with 'Moshpit'. Grinding kicks and percussion establish a strong groove before shrill tones take the fore, eventually forming a quasi-melody. Drum breaks are utilised intelligently to propel things forward, with thick snares landing on the two and four, locking the groove together. Rave synths and detuned samples elevate the track to new heights, closing out the compilation with as many memorable elements as it started with.

Unwitch - The Presence

There was a hustle in the arena as the people began to fill each seat with a purpose. It was a randy evening and there was an eager sense of expectation in the air. The curtains hung ominously across the large sprawling stage, it would appear to be far too grand for a man of little known professionalism and hype. However, he could dance. He could move with effortless precision and skill which would wow an audience ten times over, this was but small change to a dancer of the night who had earnt his stripes amidst much rougher circumstances. 

Nachtbraker is a producer who has moved from strength to strength across the last few years. His delicate attention to detail lends itself well to the superbly crafted club focussed music he has released previously. However, his new album sees him travel across a far wider spectrum than that of which we have seen previously.

By now you’d think we’d have heard more from Frankfurt’s LUZ1E considering the wealth of self-releases uploaded to her SoundCloud page (and other alias pages). Sure, some of them play more like ideas, but a majority of them are fleshed out tunes that show her innate talent for songcrafting.

After a strong initial public offering on UGONGETIT, LUZ1E side steps to the Lobster Theremin main label with a hard-hitting, drum machine focused EP of lush electro that traverses bpms and sonic realms. The title track, “4​/​5​/​20​/​18​/​15​/​9​/​20,” is a spacey, bass driven cut that features a warm wash of purifying synths. Nothing too complex here, just a solid groove and a meditative repetitiveness perfect for those intimate after-hour scenes. This is a track with the bare necessities, proof that complex sound design or OD instrumentation doesn’t necessarily equate to more effective club tracks. The rest of the EP plays out in similar fashion, save for a murky final track that doesn’t feel as lush as the rest of the project (not a bad thing).

LUZ1E’s second LT release ships out on October 5. Get your hands on it!

BANDCAMP LINK --> https://higherlevelrecs.bandcamp.com 

Beaming from the success of Denham Audio colab mixtape Club Glow Vol 1, and Hotline smasher Anyone from London, Borai is back with another couple of Breakstep bangers. Part resurrection, part new direction, this release harks back to a nascent scene, not yet eclipsed by the half time sound we came to know as dubstep. Picking up where others left off, Borai takes the tempo range down a fresh new avenue of exploration.

Higher Level Records is Borai's long overdue foray into label management alongside Henry Bainbridge (Dub Studio / HLM). Not content with simply releasing their own records, the dub plate duo will put their 15 years' experience running club nights and a cutting house into every release. Only after each track has been cut to dub and road tested at their eponymous  night will they be committed to lacquer and pressed up.

Vinyl is distributed through Juno Records and available from all good record shops from the 15th October. Digital files will be downloadable from our bandcamp page 2 weeks later.

Switzerland-based collective Alma Negra are back on Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings imprint with their 'Conversation' EP, featuring a title track that takes listeners on an excursion through ecstatic tribal rhythms and percussive riffs.

After their first appearance on Heist in 2017 with their standout 'Endless Summer' EP, Alma Negra turned their attention to releasing on their own self-titled label in 2018 and touring their new live show across Europe. Now they return with a collection of intricately woven deep house gems on their 'Conversation' EP, showcasing motifs that are equal bits meditative, funky, gritty and dreamy, all with a place on the dancefloor. 

The 'Conversation' EP, which comes complete with a remix by Awanto, is set for release September 17.

Premiere: Alma Negra 'Conversation'

Etch's forthcoming album "Ups & Downs" is a collection of cuts that date as far back as 2014 and up to the present day. Featured here, 'Groove Control' is a throwback to old school Jungle and Rave tendencies. Etch's music is informed by psychedelic experiences, sci-fi, occult and horror films and the evolution of gaming. This is then combined with a deep love of sampling vinyl and rearranging breakbeats in an unforced homage to his family roots in UK hardcore Breakbeat, Jungle and D&B. Furthermore, these hybrids are often filtered through a keen understanding of current musical developments which are then explored and deployed where it feels appropriate.

Release Info:
This is already our seventh Deep Love compilation and we dare to say our most complete yet in sound and flow. The ten pieces on this sampler blend in perfectly with that laid back “late” summer mood. We are very pleased to welcome yet again some new acts to Dirt Crew with the likes of “Jaxx Madicine”, “Ouer”, “Times are Ruff” and “S3A”. We cross many borders not only in genres but also country wise. From the heavy Disco sampled jam by French producer “S3A” to the Jazz and Funk laden epos of the Italian 3 piece “Jaxx Madicine” over to the Dutch deep house boys “Times Are Ruff” who are well known from their, same named, label and finally to the Berlin duo “Ouer” who also run an own label and released with our good friends at “Heist Recordings”, delivering an ecstatic electronic floating tune here.

This is all completed by some excellence from long time Dirt Crew artists. “25 Places” have been with us for many years now and their two Ep’s have gotten so much love from the deeper deep house community. Here they drop an epic almost IDM techno like tune that closes this great album in the best possible way. Our Icelandic stall wart “Felix Leifur” drops a heavy hitter named “Buster”. After his recent “Bobby Donny” Ep earlier this year we are thrilled to have him back on Dirt Crew! “Harry Wolfman” and “Ponty Mython” need no introduction really, they are adding Electro/ Disco/ Electronica fuelled cuts that form a great middle part to this mix of tunes. Harry going in very smooth and relaxed, something else than his usual House workout which we really loved to present to you. “Ponty Mython” drops an irresistible “good times” indie acid track in his unique “free” style.

Last, we must of course not forget “Dan Only” and key wizzard “Lorenz Rhode”! With another beautifully smooth cut “Dan Only” follows up on his latest debut Ep with us. Again a smart cross over in Techno and House with a distinct relaxed groove and atmosphere to it. Lorenz is back “On Top” here after his super successful first offering to the Deep Love series last year and his “And I Said” EP which stormed many charts. In the middle of touring and working with Detroit Swindle on their “High Life” album we are super happy that he found the time to make another gem with that raw n funky live feel to it... We couldn’t have started this compilation off with a better joint than “Marakuja”.

Enough words for now ... just put these vinyl on your decks or stream/play it on the go and don’t forget to drop them at a sweaty club night. Deep Love is here to stay!
