As we get ready for a busy summer, of spreading the sound of tomorrow across the globe, we can't help but take a step back and bring you all the feel good, forward thinking music you know and love from Soulection. This installment of our White Label series comes from 18 year old London composer, songwriter, guitarist, singer & violinist, Tom Misch. We felt the need to list all of this in the description, because each track is such an audio masterpiece. This one is for everyone, but true fans of Dilla, and smooth, mellow, R&B inspired hip-hop beats, will definitely enjoy this release.

"Basically this EP is me attempting to make instrumentals that will effect people moods in a positive way but also make people think, all produced and recorded by myself in my bedroom. I've used a combination of obscure jazz samples but mostly live instrumentation that I've recorded, so I recored guitar, violin, bit of vocals and sound effects etc." -Tom Misch

Live it Up (demo)

Footwork forms the backbone of this skittering collection of jams from faceless All City rep, Druguse. Hood Rich Life - which arrives on 12” vinyl some time in February - is also rich with rap acapellas, plucking lyrical inspiration from LA as equally as it does from the mid-West. “Twenty Two”, our choice for today's Debut, successfully pairs snippets of Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’” with a frenetic, juke-flavoured backdrop. Hood Rich Life is released on February 16th.

If there's one thing you can guarantee about the tunes of Bristol's Guy Middleton aka Guido, it's that they'll be hard to pin down. 

Ever since he dropped “Beautiful Complication” on Punch Drunk in 2009, he's ducked and dived between the pillars of musical genre, never settling into any of the bass music or techno grooves of his Bristolian contemporaries, nor quite – as he frequently threatens to do – going fully pop. Instead he just explores areas of peculiarly structured mutant R&B like the original version of 'Moments' (out on the 23rd on his own State Of Joy label) and deeply warped electronics like this absolutely sterling remix, that belong to nobody but himself.

Rwina Records have already flexed their muscles in a BR sense after last year's flaunting of label talent. Release-wise, December gifted us with Torus, but its 20-year-old Amsterdam-born producer Ebbo Kraan who now has the duty of grasping the baton. "20" proves that Rwina have refused to slouch over the Christmas period - essentially, a viscous onslaught of side-chained choppy abuse that had to be in our hands.

We're all clear by now, aren't we, that Chicagoan footworking beats are a global musical fixture? With producers now deep into the style from Beijing to Santiago, and untold fresh hybrids, it can no longer be written off as a localised curio or flash in the pan. The latest name to find support from Planet Mu – a label that's been instrumental in the global spread – is Jlin, a producer from Gary, Indiana. Her track “Erotic Heat” was a highlight of the Mu Bangs & Works Vol 2 compilation, and her coming album shows that it's not a fluke. “So High” is just another example: as compositionally tight as anything that's come from the footworking canon, with an emotional intensity all its own... and there's a whole album of this stuff (including a Holly Herndon collab!) coming on the 23rdMarch.

Oh, what a year Glenn Astro had last year. Appearances on DJ Kicks (Brandt Brauer Frick) and Brownswood, umpteen remixes, and a string of beautifully-crafted EPs perforated 2014. This year is set to eclipse that. Buddying up with Max Graef, his new imprint Money $ex Records took flight in January and sold out pronto. Good luck finding a version on Discogs.  A debut longplayer on Tartelet Records - quickly becoming an office favourite - is on its way this spring too.

In between these comes the Hologram EP, two years after his first release on WotNot. "User’s Guide To" is the ultimate tutorial in dusty house, with rolling layers of percussion over smooth synth chords. All-in-all a great record to kick off a year that will see new records from K15, Kab Driver, Alphabets Heaven, and some new faces on WotNot.
