Beyond the studio, Smeddles’ dedication to performance has seen him grace renowned venues such as London’s fabric, Amnesia Ibiza, and festivals like CRSSD and Glastonbury. In 2023, he continued his prolific output with releases on esteemed labels like PIV and Meta while maintaining a busy schedule of international appearances.

House music mainstay Darius Syrossian is back on his own vital Moxy Muzik label with brand new single Evil Drummer.

Well known for creating tracks that cut across many different genres whilst still maintaining that unique Syrossian sound, here is Darius when he puts his hand to the Minimal / Garage crossover vibes.

Syrossian rides on a dusty broken beat with lovely crisp snares and splashy hi hats. As the vibe builds, old school bass arrives to bring the weight down low and some vocal yelps and nice neon melodies arrive to ensure the party will go off.

This is another groover that still maintains the peak time feel from Darius. Tried & tested across intimate venues to the big warehouses stages, it does the job regardless!

Marking their thirtieth release, Neverdogs’ respected underground imprint Bamboleo Records welcomes Australian-born, Barcelona-based DJ/Producer Lolah with her debut EP on the label. Released on 22nd March and featuring two original cuts from Lolah, her ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP also comes with standout remixes from in-demand Milanese artist Cristina Lazic and renowned German talent Sascha Dive. Download/stream it here: https://bamboleo.ampl.ink/BAM030. 

The EP kicks off with ‘Hypnotica,’ bringing bumpy drum grooves and glitchy percussive swing fused with a momentous bassline melody, modular sequencing, atmospheric string-led breaks and sleek musicality throughout. The title cut ‘States Of Euphoria’ comes next, delivering yet more weighty, chunky drum work and intricately layered percussive movement. Another killer vocal hook features on this one, diving in between quirky synths, organs and a vivid sub-bass melody, creating endless cadence throughout the mix.

“‘States Of Euphoria’ is a story of the euphoric states I have reached through music, the dance floor, immersed in strangers, obtaining bite size bits of wisdom that I take into my normal life. Of the global relationships we create, although cultural difference or geographical distance between us, a core fundamental understanding of one another through a simple glance or pass of hand. It is a moment of intense connection. You are not alone.” - Lolah

We move into the second half of the EP with Cristina Lazic as she delivers the first of two trademark spins, taking the original cut and reshaping it into a stripped-back, signature underground roller. Sascha Dive follows this up with his interpretation, delivering his ‘Out Of Body Experience’ remix as an immersive, pleasantly prolonged, and sonically dreamy minimal cut to round off the release.

Lolah’s ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP (incl. Cristina Lazic & Sascha Dive Remixes) is available from 22nd March 2024 via Bamboleo Records.
