PREMIERE: Esther Ans Helm - Critical Ways (Sofa Club Records)

Uprooted is the second EP from Parisian DJ and producer BJF (@djbjf) to be released on Couvre x Chefs (@couvrexchefs). It follows Iridescent, his debut EP released in 2020. A key member of the collective, label and media Couvre x Chefs, BJF also has to his credit various participations in compilations, (Egregore, XXIII, Couvre x Chefs, Sacrilejio Records, Météo ) and a bunch of thoughtful edits. His productions have been played on Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM, Rinse France, BBC, Reprezent, Bruzz, etc.

On Uprooted, BJF affirms his musical direction more than ever: percussive, hybrid, completely club-oriented; full of perfectly mastered samples, carefully articulated with each other.

If since his firsts releases BJF has made percussion his signature, his drum kit on Uprooted has been considerably enriched. Baile funk, dembow, drill, UK funky or dancehall have no secrets for him as a DJ set, but in his productions, the producer defragments these genres and reassembles snippets of them with surgical precision, thus composing his own riddims, blurring labels and boxes.

This new EP also marks a real evolution on the melodic part and on the atmospheres, like the synthetic brass of Baloya, the inimitable grime synth on Jump Riddim, or the Japanese flute on Fogo. The EP includes for the first time a featuring with an MC in the person of the Brazilian AKA AFK on the title Fogo.

Uprooted closes with the energetic Circus, an unclassifiable banger with its gabber kicks, its carioca carnival whistles, its dembow energy and the psychedelic sound in oscillation which flies over the whole track.

Bloom Into Sadness

Crafted as a snapshot of the LOCH INN series hosted at De School, 'V/A LOCH INN at De School' encapsulates the diverse talent that contributed to the collective exchange during the bi-monthly LOCH INN events at Het Muzieklokaal. The events were initiated as a platform for local artists to showcase their work, fostering an exchange of knowledge and inspiration between the artists and audience.

With 'Continue' Amsterdam’s rising star @teqmun-tijmen-b serves up a stripped down, cleverly chopped and arranged bass music track that’s highly electrifying.

In pursuit of the balance between his passion for green life sciences and electronic sound design, Teqmun pushes his sound to be constantly shifting between crisp organic textures and snappy driving drums. The electrifying frenzy of colourful synths and energetic percussive elements that are composed keep his music undeniably compelling.

Drama (Club Edit)

Djrum's first release since 2019, the Meaning’s Edge EP is an introduction to a whole new world. For the artist also known as Felix Manuel, it was created in the final stretches of six rather traumatic years work. Having carefully honed his techniques and aesthetics, and learned some hard-won emotional lessons over this time, finally he began to work in a quicker, lighter fashion – and to cleanse his palate a little by bringing in a fresh ingredient: his own flute playing. For listeners, though, it will serve as an appetiser, a way into the delights and complexities of this new phase of his creativity.
 
It’s a serious work in its own right, mind. The use of flutes – including Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western Classical, and synthesised all blending and blurring into one another – gives it a coherence and a sense of airiness that unites the five tracks over half an hour, however divergent their beats get. And as in all his music, 
 
Here you find the opening track ‘Codex’ which alone touches on OG dubstep, Aphex Twin-like braindance, post-classical exploration, movie themes and more. The gentle tones and melodies that rise up out of it perfectly conjure Felix’s running theme of a protective bubble that provides a sense of safety and tranquillity even as the beats and acid gurgles and spurts all around it conjure up the slings and arrows of life’s difficulties.
 

… and it’s only just the beginning. This is the return of a master craftsperson more focused than ever on his vision and vocation and ready to blow your mind all over again.

re:lax HQ finishes off a stellar year with their third and final record of 2024 - WONDA. Following re:ni's head spinning debut, Laksa comes with more arsenal for the club. Sampling iconic grime hype escalation, that energy is channeled into 3 UK sound-system techno cuts. Razor synths, drum workouts, visceral bass-weight with vocal psychedelia, this is sonic exploration and experimentation with a FWD spirit.

The record also sees Laksa delve into his first vocal collaboration, working with Nyege Nyege affiliated Phelimuncasi - all the way from South Africa. Club and Dubwise versions - take ur pick

POLAARIZED is a 6-track LP where the label’s core artists collaborate with some of the most daring and influential creatives shaping today’s music. Polarization—a scientific phenomenon that aligns forces in a shared direction—becomes a metaphor for the collective power of collaboration, where contrasting voices converge into something greater.

POLAARIZED reimagines the club as more than just a dancefloor—it’s a space for radical expression, a meeting point where boundaries blur, and communities thrive. This release is a sonic manifesto for those who live at the edge of the underground, where music becomes a force of connection and change.

To celebrate POLAARIZED, we’ve created a limited-edition sticker pack inspired by iconic Panini collections. Each pack includes 12 unique designs inspired by the concept of light polarization. Limited to 100 copies, these packs come with the digital album.
