For the second release on their newly minted dubplate series, Phuture Shock Musik welcomes on board upcoming Belgian talent, Rosie From The Block, aka Roselien - who delivers a soulful 3-tracker by name of ‘Believe In It’ EP.

Based in between her native Brussels and London, singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Roselien conceived the Rosie From The Block side project in late 2021 as a means to explore a more groove-orientated path aimed at the dancefloor. Taking major inspiration from broken beat - the West London-born genre that she was first exposed to whilst residing in the city, pre-pandemic – the artist released her first EP under the new moniker earlier this year via Belgian imprint Vice City, much to the warm reception of the bruk scene at large and further afield.

In contrast to the above recent outing, Roselien has refined her own brand of contemporary soul over the past few years, which has brought about a handful of self-releases recorded under her primary stage name; garnering support from the tastemaker likes of Lefto , Reggie Watts and Erica McKoy. Whilst as a performer, she has made headway across the live soul and jazz circuit, having opened up for world-renowned acts such as Meshell Ndegeocello, Gregory Porter, The Jones Girls and Bilal, among others
Keeping in check with her soul and RnB roots, Rosie From The Block’s latest offering ‘Believe In It’ EP and debut for the Bristol label finds the Belgian sprinkling her dynamic vocals sparingly across the 3 cuts and further demonstrating her production skills, yet also stretching beyond the remit of brokenbeat and encompassing a wealth of influences from across the black music spectrum; from uptown modern funk and forward-thinking bruk to synth-laced 80s era soul.

Opening up the release is the razor-sharp, syncopated beats of title cut ‘Believe In It’, where Rosie pairs spoken word vocals and soulful hooks with deep emotive pads and a meandering, groovy bassline that weaves between bruk-influenced drum work. On the B-side resides ‘Let The Drum’, a modern bruk-funk jam with hip hop attitude that’s centred around an infectious Nile Rodgers-esque guitar riff, neck-snapping beats and melodic touches of jazz, all whilst Rosie commands for the listener to; in so many words let the drum rhythm take control of your body. Bringing down the tempo and rounding out the EP is the late-night feels of ‘Same Road Back Home’, an electronic funk dub, richly drizzled in wistful synths and finely chopped vocal refrains, well underpinned by crispy drum machine beats and warm analogue grooves that channels the 80s production mastery of Kashif.

[PSMDUB004] Rosie From The Block - Believe In It (Remixes) EP

Hot on the heels of her debut outing - ‘Believe In It’ EP - on Phuture Shock Musik, Rosie From The Block returns to the Bristol label with a fully reimagined version of the 2022 release; featuring remixes by a batch of stellar talent from the PSM family - including house heavyweights Trinidadian Deep and Sean McCabe, along with nu-skool bruk soldiers Szajna and Sentinel 793.

Already known for her work on the live soul and jazz circuit, Brussels-based producer, singer-songwriter and musician, Roselien, has made waves in the last year via her alter ego Rosie From The Block. Having gained wide-ranging DJ support in the broken beat scene and beyond with two successive EP’s, playing a string of debut UK gigs as a DJ, and racking up several guest mixes for radio shows and media platforms such as Kiosk Radio and Music Is My Sanctuary, the ‘Believe In It’ Remix EP continues the artist’s rise and foray into the world of dance music.

Taking the helm with the title cut ‘Believe In It’ is NYC’s Trinidadian Deep, who puts his signature afro-deep stamp on the track; bathing Rosie’s vocals in a deep sea of celestial melodies and sweeping pads, with lively percussive rhythms thus transforming it into a tribal roller with an uplifting message of self-belief. Next up is Manchester producer Szajna with his flip of ‘Let The Drum’, here taking a less is more approach by stripping the track down to a minimal groove of off-kilter drums and squelchy bass, whilst throwing in snips of the original vocal hook, intertwined with silky keyboard stabs to make for an understated bruk-hop bop. Delivering an epic revamp of ‘Same Road Back Home’ on the full B-Side is Bristol’s very own Sean McCabe, who retains the late-night melancholy of the original, while adding emotive chords and dazzling synth solos, paired with a warm, bouncy Moog b-line, and steady 4/4 drum track that together recalls the luscious mid-tempo grooves of Naked Music during its prime. Wrapping up the package nicely is fellow Bristol producer Sentinel 793’s take on ‘Believe In It’. Stepping away from familiar bruk territory, he morphs the track into a leftfield bass rattler; where Rosie’s vox drift into oblivion, and collides with a tapestry of warped 90s-inspired pads, punchy kicks and glitchy, industrial-esque percussion.

Release Text: 
Phuture Shock Musik keeps it moving with No. 5 in their limited dubplate series, which sees deep house titan Trinidadian Deep return to the Bristol imprint with a 2-track juggernaut of percussion-heavy riddims and mystical frequencies; entitled ‘Jah Fe Movements’ b/w ‘Casa Profunda’.

Picking up where he last left off on PSM; with 2021’s ‘Dub Rockas’ EP, and following a recent remix for label mate Rosie From The Block, the NYC-based producer delivers a sure-fire pair of secret weapons, that once again captures his inimitable brand of deeply spiritual house music, with a typically rich medley of African, Caribbean and Latin influences oozing throughout.

Fronting the A-Side is the meditative vibes of ‘Jah Fe Movements’ a tech-infused heater for the late-nighters, where driving 4/4 kicks and frenzied percussion charge forth in unison with an entrancing keyboard riff, largely engulfed by a smoky haze of livity chants and bubbling dubtronic tones immersed in reverb and delay. On the flip is the uplifting, Afro-Latin-flavoured rhythms of ‘Casa Profunda’, which by contrast is a more sky-facing affair but no less aimed at the dancefloor as the lead cut, awash with breezy, euphoric pads and jazzy sax licks, that meander between sultry Latina vocals hovering over percussion-fuelled beats and a rolling bass groove with a tropical bounce.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Trinidadian Deep - Casa Profunda [Phuture Shock Musik]

This year marks 15 years since I started my service in the online underground. Time flies when you are having fun right?! I remember when I (as non dj) heard something on the radio back then, that was just it. Nobody put that on soundcloud or youtube for you to listen to again. I was telling myself there must be more people that want to listen to some tracks over and over again. That's how it all started. Ripping tracks from radio shows, uploading some cool tracks that were hot in that time period (remember post-dubstep & future garage?),there were even a few people sending me their music to upload! The moment I started doing the video edits was life changing. Not only for me but for all the people we (music youtubers) made hot in the era of lo-fi house. Happy to see some of them rockin big stages today!

Since then, this has been my everyday, 24/7/365! Paid my dues & made the sacrifices. Was it worth it? Damn right! Though I have to admit that I never intended to start djing myself. I was forced to by the community! I am happy I sold my bike so I can buy speakers and started.

Music took me around the world. With music I met a bunch of amazing people who did not hesitate to spend their money and time just to meet the guy they know from youtube. For this I will forever be grateful!

Like 5 years ago, also this time I have a mix for you! I just wanted to put together a mix full of my all time favorite jams. The result is an almost six hour journey through different genres & styles. I also wanted to include music made by people I have some history with. Baltra, Bambounou, Fjaak, Route 8 or Kettama, to name a few (and a whole lotta more!). Expect a lot of hits! Slow jams, House, Techno, UK sound and more.

Thanks for believing in me, it truly means everything!

THE MOSKALUS MIX SERIES EXTRA: Moskalus (15 YEARS OF MOSKALUS 5H SPECIAL)

After making noise within the bruk scene and wider bass circles with their 2023 collaboration single ‘A Bruk Ting’ on Phuture Shock Musik, Bristol-based producer Sentinel 793, alongside Bristolian emcee T. Relly, wheel up the track and place it in the very capable hands of bass heavyweight J: Kenzo, who delivers two sizzling new reworks of the track, primed for another round of dancefloor damage into the coming year.

Originally from Kent, J: Kenzo is well reputed for his dark and militant, bass-heavy sound, particularly in the fields of dubstep and Drum & Bass. Consistently at the vanguard of underground bass music; since his 2007 breakthrough, the English producer/DJ has racked up a slew of releases on pioneering labels such as Tempa and Metalheadz, through to Roska’s Kicks & Snares, Dub Police, and his own imprint, Artikal Music.

Tailored for Phuture Shock’s limited dubplate series; with this double-sided remix package of ‘A Bruk Ting’, Kenzo pulls off two dynamic takes on the original, that bears the hallmarks of his low end-fuelled sound, yet with a loose bruk twist, which will appeal to all manner of bass heads.

First up, and slapped on the A-side is the ‘Bruk & Dub’ mix, where J: Kenzo flips the drums into a halftime swung-out tempo, bristling with crispy hi-hats designed to get heads nodding, before a menacing, dark UKG-style b-line thrusts the track into cavernous realms; leaving much space for T. Relly’s towering vocals to hit hard in all the right places. While side B’s ‘Shake A Leg’ mix, finds Kenzo shifting the beats up a gear, rebuilding the track into a rowdy bruk workout; where the vox run riot over an up-tempo collision of frisky broken beats and plunging basslines, flanked by scurrying congas, and some nifty swipes of Sentinel 793’s scrappy keyboard riff from the original track.

PREMIERE: Sentinel 793 Ft T. Relly - A Bruk Ting (J:Kenzo's Shake A Leg Remix) [Phuture Shock Musik]

For their next curation, Phuture Shock Musik launches a new Various Artists series named ‘Mo’ Dubz’. Somewhat an extension of the ‘PSM DUBZ’ series and sticking with the 10” format, ‘Mo’ Dubz Vol. 1’ gathers a host of fine talent to serve up a melting pot of electronic sounds over the course of three tracks – touching on futurist forms of techno, bass, bruk and electro – that reflects the genre-hopping nature of the Bristol label.
Pitching in for the first outing is London-based producer, DJ and long-standing NTS radio host, LDLDN – who in the last five years has been making a mark as a producer, with a great deal of his highly melodic, Detroit-flavoured techno productions surfacing on his Natural Frequency imprint, and now here landing his debut entry on PSM. Also stepping up is Bristol’s Sentinel 793, who follows up his T. Relly-assisted single ‘A Bruk Ting’ released via Phuture Shock last year, which was later reworked by J:Kenzo and has been tearing up dancefloors ever since. Lastly, another familiar face on board, although in remixed form, is Belgian-born, multi-skilled artist Rosie From The Block. Whilst here, remix duties are handled by Heavenly recordings’ signees The Orielles, who take the original track – lifted from Rosie’s ‘Believe In It’ EP [PSMDUB002] – into a club-bound direction that’s far removed from the Manchester band’s groovy indie-pop roots.
Helming the A-side is LDLDN with the Detroit futurism of ‘Very Online’, a raw slab of machine funk driven by stomping 4/4 kicks, claps and rippling hi-hats; fittingly set against a giddy backdrop of angular synths that spiral across the cosmos, and chord patterns switching from trippy, sci-fi shapes to soulful lushness. Next up and on the flip is Sentinel 793 with the introspective bassism of ‘Tomorrow’s World’, which dwells in the far-flung corners of broken beat, and is built around a hefty base of weighty kicks and post-junglist breaks; coupled with a meandering synth b-line tightly woven into the groove, and cradled in swirly IDM-tinged soundscapes. Closing out the disk is The Orielles with their quirky rendition of Rosie From The Block’s ‘Let The Drum’. Dialling down the guitars and bringing their electronic influences to the fore, the trio convert the track into a playful blend of electro and footwork, whilst utilising Rosie’s vocal hook and key stabs into a hypnotic loop; fringed by zippy percussive elements and deep subs.

[PSMEX007] Various Artists - EXCURSIONS # 7

As Bristol’s Phuture Shock Musik strides into its landmark tenth year in action and the next chapter of its journey, the sister arm of the label casts the net a little wider in both a geographic sense and genre wise for its latest vinyl-only compilation release -‘EXCURSIONS # 7’. Rallying up a dynamic force of global talent from as far and wide as South Korea to South Africa through to Europe and the United States, this instalment orbits a sonic dimension where modern, left-leaning strains of house, broken beat and future soul freely collide together across four exclusive cuts. 

Joining the ride once again, although in remixed form, is Seoul’s foreman of leftfield house and techno, DJ Bowlcut. Here the controls are handed over to veteran UK bass experimentalist and Hyperdub mainstay Scratcha DVA aka Scratchclart, who flips the original track – lifted from ‘EXCURSIONS # 5’ – inside out and squarely on its head, with riotous, gqom-inspired results. Some new blood is introduced in the shape of electronic musician Evan If, here making his debut appearance on wax. Hailing from Seattle, though now based in Barcelona and very much a part the city’s experimental music scene, the synth devotee has a few prior self-releases to his name, and has also previously collaborated on material with fellow Barcelona resident and PSM regular Karmasound; under the moniker Evan & Damián.

Also making a debut entry on Phuture Shock and 
the vinyl format is rising electronic soul producer ECHLN, coming straight out of Cape Town. Assisted by emerging singer-songwriter Amarafleur on vocal duties, the South African’s offering affirms his knack for collaboration with the cream of Mzansi soul and R&B talent. In recent years his futuristic productions have surfaced on Singapore’s Darker Than Wax imprint and Johannesburg label Stay True Sounds, among others. Representing stateside and completing the unique quartet is Atlanta’s very own Stefan Ringer. A key player of the A-Town’s burgeoning dance underground, over the last decade the producer and DJ – initially known as REKchampa - has released a trail of heat via the likes of Kai Alcé’s NDATL, Black Catalogue, PPU, plus his own FWM imprint. And here remains on form with a dancefloor-ready contribution to round off the disc.
