Celebrating his new release on the Label this week we've got Danvers in for a guestmix, naturally. Centred around his tracks on the EP he crafts a journey through the soundscapes and vibrations influencing the Distant Recalls EP. 

You may know him as one half of UK duo ‘Kassian’ who have previously released on SB, but here he flies solo with a mix of expertly produced electronic, acid washed breaks. Enjoy!

Rosie From The Block & Sean McCabe - Deep Within EP

Rolling deep into the summer, Phuture Shock Musik returns with more hot dubplate pressure via their ‘PSM DUBZ’ series – this time in the form of a collaborative 4-track offering entitled ‘Deep Within’ EP by Bristol’s soulful house don Sean McCabe and Brussels-based rising star Rosie From The Block.

Fast becoming a regular on Phuture Shock, Rosie From The Block makes her third proper outing on the Bristol label, having debuted with ‘Believe In It’ EP back in 2022, and the subsequent ‘Believe In It’ (Remixes) EP released the following year – both of which received wide-ranging DJ support across the broken beat and house scenes.  Since joining the ranks of PSM, the Belgian producer, musician and vocalist has forged strong ties with the Bristol music scene, which has resulted in a number of DJ gigs for various events in the city, connecting with local artists and sowing the seeds for future collaborations – namely this very project here with distinguished producer and DJ Sean McCabe. While McCabe is certainly no stranger to collaboration, the Good Vibrations founder has worked with some of the finest vocal talent in the soulful house genre during his two decade career, through to notable collabs with the likes of Karizma, DJ Spen, Turbojazz and Lay-Far. 
With previous stints on Phuture Shock as a remixer and a joint-artist effort with Karmasound for 2021’s ‘A New Day’ EP, McCabe once again touches base, which marks his second release on the locally-based imprint and second as a collaborator.

Roughly eighteen months in the making, ‘Deep Within’ EP is a truly collaborative project that finds the said artists merging their exceptional talents over three tracks (+ a bonus dub) to whip up a soulful entrée that journeys thru house, broken beat, nu soul, RnB, boogie and even a touch of hip hop; wrapped in conscious lyricism touching on themes of self-reflection to spirituality.

Opening the EP on a mid-tempo tip is ‘Rise Above’, a jaunty bruk soul cut with an uplifting message; that’s centred around a slippery bassline, smooth keys and twisted boogie synth stabs woven into a languid drum pattern, complete with melodic RnB-tinged hooks and some conscious rap lyrics from Rosie to boot - revealing yet another side of her creativity. Next up is the stuttering rhythms of ‘Wake Up’, which picks up the pace while continuing in the broken vein – and lyrically addresses taking accountability for ones actions; underpinned by percussion-laced production that heavily nods to the 00s West London sound; full of bustling hi-hats, chunky bass, and quirky synthlines that slip and slide between the rhythmic framework. On the B-side and rounding out the release to heady effect is the deep house elegance of ‘Water’ where spiritually-toned vox glide across four to the floor beats enveloped by dreamy, oscillating synthwork and slickly placed guitar licks. Before seamlessly entering a musically rich suite of lush jazzy Rhodes chords, warm bass grooves and improvised spacey synth solos venturing late into the after-hours.  The release also comes with an extended dub mix of ‘Rise Above’, giving the more beat-inclined DJ’s a little extra something to juggle with.

[PSMEX006] Various Artists – EXCURSIONS # 6

On the sixth document of their vinyl-only V/A series ‘EXCURSIONS’, Josiah Hartley’s Phuture Shock label continues its quest to seek and showcase both new and established talent from the adventurous depths of the dance music underground and beyond. Assembling four tracks by a quartet of artists spanning the globe from Brazil to Germany, UK via France and the USA, this versatile collection of dancefloor-orientated cuts largely focuses on the many diverse shades of contemporary deep house.

Leading the charge is Brazilian DJ/producer Nørus, one of São Paulo’s most promising new house music exports on the verge of breaking through, who makes his debut outing on wax with the heavily supported ‘Make A Move’. This dancefloor weapon has been heating up the underground as a digital dubplate – particularly within the international ‘lo-fi’ house scene - for the best part of 18 months, and here finally finds a home for an official physical release. Another fresh face, or rather lesser known talent named Sloppy J is also welcomed into the fold. With one sole release (‘My Jams’ EP) under his belt to date, the low-key Berlin-based Canadian, who also moonlights under the alias Jonattan Levingstone, offers up his first new output since said EP, released on Montreal imprint Parages Music back in 2016. Making a welcome return, albeit in a remixed presence is Nottingham producer Cyclonix, with a track that first appeared in its original form on ‘EXCURSIONS # 3’. But here gets given a new lease of life from Parisian DJ/producer and D.Ko records co-owner Flabaire, who alongside his label mates, has proved to be a leading light of the revived French house scene in the past few years. Completing the dynamic cast is Ugandan-born, Connecticut/Berlin-based veteran DJ and producer Jenifa Mayanja. Widely known in deep house circles for her efforts on the likes of Underground Quality, Deep ArtSounds, and the three labels she co-helms - Bumako recordings, Sound Warrior and EDJ Records - here she contributes something that taps into her more leftfield impulses.
