With releases on Greenskeepers Music, Drop Music, Blotter, Maracuja and Homecoming, JDub has certainly worked with some of the top labels in underground House music.

House has had a huge impact on him, “opening doors for me that I never even knew existed, and enabling me to meet the love of my life, my best friends, people from all over the world because of this music. House Music has been my shelter, my food, my refuge, my savior.” House has also seen JDub tour the world playing in London, Paris, Instanbul, Belgium, New York, LA, Toronto, Montreal, and countless other cities.

In preparing his 90 minute mix for the Gangstercast, JDub says, “these are the tracks that I’m loving right now that best represent my personality and the message I’m trying to bring across. It’s very personal all the way through from the Eric B and Rakim vocal to the DJ Sneak remix of Master of Time, a Frames track featuring yours truly on vocals. I’ve been very focused on live performance and vocals for the last few years. Whether it was with the Greenskeepers or being featured on multiple projects, I took a big step back from DJing to develop another side of my talent and interest. The tracks featured on this mix make me really excited to DJ again, to wake up and just go hard for hours on end creating this set. Derrick Carter has been a huge influence on me throughout my career so of course he’s also got a track on this mix. I’ve got my San Francisco producers, DJ Dan and DJ Mes here, Carlo Lio representing Toronto, Asad Rizvi from London, some classics including Brand New Heavies and few others. I don’t want to give it all away. I like for people to listen and discover for themselves like I do. That’s how you mine the gems out the dirt.

“The mix has all the elements of music that inspire me everyday: Heavy Beats, driving percussion, lethal baselines, clever samples, soulful vocals, a sense of humor, a few surprising twists and turns especially the Hip Hop themes that run through the mix. Hip Hop has always been a huge part of my approach to being a House DJ. Putting a strong message in the music is so important and Hip Hop does that like no other art form. It was really important for this mix that I reinforce my Hip Hop roots and weave together all my main obsessions: House, Hip Hop, Tech-House, and that relentless essence of the mix that I’m all about.”

Focusing on the House Gangster movement, JDub adds that for him it is about, “loving your House music and House DJs through all the trends and fades that come along and recognizing how incredible this music is every day. You live it through the music, the fashion, the attitude, the parties you go to, what you spend your cash on, and standing up for your musical principles. When I was coming up in Chicago, people dressed House, they spoke a House language, there was a graphic Art style that was House, it was a culture that permeated everything and you pledged your allegiance to it in spite of the fact that the mainstream treating it at best as a passing fade and at worst as a threat to traditional values. Being a House Gangster reminds me of that time. 

“People should be proud to represent what they love with no holds barred, no shame, and in a wider global culture that supports the artists, the music, the venues, and the labels that create this movement. It also means have the time of your life, having experiences you’ll always take with you, dancing your face off, and leaving the club in a state of ecstacy and exhaustion.

“I feel like I’m returning to my roots with this one because of Sneak and Melissa Sosa creating this whole House Gangster media blitz. I’ve been involved in projects with those guys for years including Blu Funk, All World, and now this. This is all about family and what this family stands for.”

A mainstay of the Portland and Seattle scenes since the late 90's, Pacific Northwest native Trevor Vichas has entertained audiences with his mesmerising blend of house, garage, and techno meets jazz, disco, and hip hop; warm rolling basslines, hypnotic chord progressions, and soulful vocals that speak with a message of love.  It’s a sound showcased here on his Gangstercast as Trevor explains, “This mix represents me as an artist in how I move though various house sounds creating a forward moving mix that keeps you shaking that ass and guessing what I am going to play next.  The mix is on the deeper soulful of house that I play.”

“The process for choosing the tracks to make my Gangstercast took a few days.  When I selected the tracks for this mix, the thought in mind was to play timeless music.   I started with a pile of some of my new favorite tracks from the last couple of years, some classic tunes that I love to play, and some of my selected production work that I am personally in love with.   After that it took a couple of long sessions to weed out some tracks and add some others in.   I had about 80 tracks laid out to play and what got mixed in the first two hours was my final mix.”

Since completing his first tracks in 2008, Trevor’s productions have appeared in the playlists of heavy-hitters such as Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, Iz & Diz, Phil Weeks, Hector Morales and DJ Heather. Labels including Robsoul, Flatpack, Phobic and countless others have all commissioned Trevor for original music and remixes.

The names above will leave you in no doubt that Trevor Vishas is a bonafide House Gangster!  He comments, “The house gangster movement to me is about being down for house 110% all day everyday. I have seen a lot of people coming in and out of house music, and then play whatever is a trending to get a gig.  It really boils down to being dedicated to house music for life, not giving up and being true to house music!  House music is very much a spiritual thing to me.  Whether I am listening, playing or working in the studio on beats, there is a feeling that emanates from me when house is involved. It has become a way of life to me and I am able to express my inner most feeling though the music I play and produce.”

“Damn it feels good to be a gangster.”

Follow Me (Part 1) [feat. Bloody Jay & Georgi Kay]

Oh honestly - do you need to be told? Really?  Pinch .  Mumdance .  Riko Dan . The don of Bristol bass, the Subloaded kingpin, the man who's been making your chest rattle since day. The genre-wrangler who knows skate punk and happy hardcore inside out, can bash out dancefloor bangers like it's nothing AND make make an era defining grime riddim. And the London City Warlord, the man who's been adding the meanest of dancehall menace the UK underground since the earliest days of Roll Deep. Do you REALLY need to be told to press 'play'?

Pinch & Mumdance "Big Slug (feat. Riko Dan)"  – Boiler Room Debuts

Of all the people playing fast and loose with house rhythms recently - and there are a lot - Eric Douglas Porter aka  Afrikan Sciences is one of the most consistent and interesting, for his ability to fuse extraordinarily sophisticated jazz licks with disquietingly raw - bordering on the industrial - electronic work. Now, he's teamd up with Ari - a relatively unknown compadre of  Tama Sumo and  Uzuri boss  Lakuti - for some loose and lovely action, including this abstract but irresistible groove.

Old Shady Grady & The Neighbourhood Character "Futonjam" - Boiler Room Debuts

They may only be about to drop their second release but  Organic Analogue  are already a label to be reckoned with. When your first release comes with a Heinrich Mueller remix, your releases come on stunningly-designed heavyweight clear vinyl, your website has a moving starscape, and you release tracks like this one  from Tblisi, Georgia , you basically have our attention. OA002 features four tracks plus a remix by  The Reflektor aka Gifted & Blessed , but this is our pick - a cosmic bubblebath of undulating tones and gliding rhythm that we defy you to resist.

HVL "Cygnus Loop" - Boiler Room Debuts

Max Graef's still unfuckwithable 2014 debut    Rivers of the Red Planet  was the site of various pleasures. It had smoked-out soul by the blunt-load. It juggled boom-bap with neo-soul and rubbed together dusty jazz with the heft of house. It was the kind of statement record where a young producer was able to lay out his aesthetic touchstones and play them off each other in casual synthesis. It was also where we had the pleasure of meeting Nigerian-born vocalist extrordinaire Wayne Snow – an androgynous, mellifluous falsetto that wound perfectly into Max's half-time haze.    

After expanding album standout 'Running' into a fully-fleshed EP, the pair continue the chemistry with 'Rosie' – a new five-tracker coming out via Copenhagen label and shared home Tartelet Records. We're glad to say the same magic's still there in spades – the thick thud of Graef's signature kick, the warbling warm basslines and ever the star of the show, Wayne's tenderly acrobatic vocal lines. 

Peep the EP's title-track above and cop the whole thing on June 1st.

Wayne Snow "Rosie" - Boiler Room Debuts

"Delft is represented here by squad members JPLS, whose EP will arrive in the fall, and Vin Sol whose 4-track EP will be on record shelves in the coming weeks. Valence leaves its mark through coming EPs from goldFFinch and Ambivalent, as well as a remix from Truncate and a special extra deep dive with a major influence." - Ambivalent
