After careful consideration, Black Angus Records has changed its name to BKA Records – short for ""Beats Kickin' Again."" The label relaunches with an EP that fully reflects its roots: four impactful tracks by Italian artists who are now well established in the international house music scene.
The first track comes from DJ Soch, founder of the label. It's marked by a powerful beat, driving bassline, and a flowing synth solo that builds tension and energy, aiming straight for the dancefloor.
Next is Issam Dahmani, a young DJ and producer, now also a partner in the label, with a warm, full-bodied track that in some sections recalls the sonic approach of Kerri Chandler. A track that's hard not to play.
The third cut is by Manuold, a seasoned producer from Palermo, who delivers a sound inspired by early '90s New York house, dreamy and atmospheric, with a strong groove throughout.
Closing the EP is Nicholas (of Aura Safari) with a classic flavored production pulled from his archive: gospel touches, piano house elements, and swinging rhythms come together in a track that perfectly embodies the essence of house music.

David Böning - Next Stop [PS012]

After 2 outings on recent SHOUTS compilations, Asa Tate lands on Rhythm Section Intl proper with a timeless EP - “ Replica”.

Asa Tate, fka Tech Support has been on a bit of a tear recently and this record feels like a real step up: a statement of intention aimed directly at the peak time dance floor.

A student of the Weatherall school of DJing, Asa Tate has showcased an astonishingly mature approach to production over the years that belies his age. You’d be forgiven for thinking these 4 tracks had been discovered from a dusty DAT tape, locked away in the vaults of a northern Italian club and rediscovered after 30 years….Listen more closely and you’ll notice the contemporary production flair and more recent influences that make this EP a perfect reinterpretation of the mid 90s house sound: sitting somewhere between dream house and Morales finest work under the red zone moniker.

The EP wastes no time in setting it’s intentions with the A1 Title Track, “Replica” - after a brief and floaty progressive house intro the refrain “ E-e-e-e-e-e-e-ECSTASY” echoes loudly over sampled vocals, euphorias piano chords, throbbing lead synths and a bouncy tech house bass line. It straddles so many sub genres of house without feeling derivative of any of them. Cliche’s and classic samples are embraced playfully and serve to contextualise and elevate the influences. This is not just really great house music or excellent storytelling, it’s art history.

“89” is a sultry deep house cut featuring rising Spanish star, Dariam Coco on Vocals. It floats like a butterfly, but stings like a bee, as the soft chords are interrupted with huge drum fills deftly transforming an after party jam to a peak time moment.

We continue to “ Unknowns” - a masterclass in building tension and holding it - this track simmers with restrained intensity for almost 6 minutes. It’s trademark Asa Tate production at its most understated and classy.

We round of the EP with the fittingly titled “Last Dance”, a wistful composition that brings us back down to earth slowly, safely and gently; always grooving but never pushing - this one is the soundtrack to the end of a long summer day and reaffirms Asa Tate’s claim to be a modern master of Deep House.

We’re super excited to give Ned the platform he deserves and look forward to hearing this one soundtrack many a dance as this long, beautiful summer draws to a close

PREMIERE: ASA TATE - REPLICA [RHYTHM SECTION]

After his 2024 album The Spirit Continues, Tilman returns with Altered Spaces, a tightly focused four-track EP that distills his signature sound into a concise, club-ready format.

Opening track Make My Body Move sets the tone with soulful vocals, warm piano stabs, a rolling bassline and a breezy Balearic vibe. The Last Resort deepens the mood, layering pads, organ hits and shimmering strings over a steady, driving groove.

Rounding out the EP are two reimagined cuts from The Spirit Continues. Dance Department (Spirit Mix) smooths out the rougher edges of the original, adding organ stabs and a more melodic sensibility. Need It (Dance Dub) transforms the track into a softer, dub-tinged version - hypnotic, restrained and full of subtle movement.

Altered Spaces is classic Tilman: warm, understated house music that's rich in detail and groove - made for dancers and deep listeners alike.

[ESUOH042] MAX KERNMAYER – REWIND & COME AGAIN

1. Max Kernmayer - Rewind & Come Again 
2. Max Kernmayer - Organ Donor
3. Max Kernmayer - Royale With Cheese

We’re excited to welcome Austrian talent Max Kernmayer to Esuoh with his debut release on the label: Rewind & Come Again. Known for his versatile and groove-driven productions, Max delivers a refined three-track pack that blends dubby textures, rhythmic precision and melodic depth.

Opening with the title track “Rewind & Come Again”, Max sets the tone with a powerful cut that draws inspiration from soundsystem culture—rolling bass, vocal stabs and a stripped-back arrangement that hits with purpose. “Organ Donor” follows with a more playful yet equally potent energy, combining shuffled drums, quirky synth work and acid-laced elements for a floor-focused ride with UK flavour. Closing the pack is “Royale With Cheese”, a deeper, more hypnotic trip built around warm pads, subtle atmospheres and driving grooves, keeping the energy flowing while revealing Max’s more introspective side.

A dynamic and well-balanced release that reflects both Max’s creative range and Esuoh’s ongoing commitment to forward-thinking club music.

exclusive | Wickham - The Docks | MINDHELMET

Wickham returns to MINDHELMET for the label’s 19th release - a stacked various artist EP featuring ADMNTi, Finny B, Max Stedeford, James Andrew, Tate, and Wickham himself, who previously graced the imprint with a full solo EP. This time, he signs off the record with “The Docks,” a track that captures everything that makes UK minimal so addictive: groove, melody, and pure dancefloor charm.

Driven by sleek drum programming and a teasing vocal loop whispering “I wanna dance with you,” “The Docks” radiates warmth and human touch. Deep chord sequences ripple through the mix, blending with crisp breaks and basslines that glide rather than stomp - it’s elegant and functional, the kind of track that connects the heads and the dancers in equal measure.

There’s something magnetic about Wickham’s approach here - understated yet euphoric, perfectly balancing emotion and movement. “The Docks” is not just another minimal roller; it’s an invitation - one you’ll likely accept without hesitation.
