Acclaimed Italian producer DJ Matisa cements her ’one to watch’ credentials with the ‘Peace Building’ EP, released via On Loop on October 29th.

The EP follows up releases on Optimo Music, Permanent Vacation and Biologic Records and the track 'Don't Let The Bugs Bite!' has been included in Ben UFO's latest essential mix.

"The world would have been different today if we would have united for love, peace, construction, and to support each other in building as allies to one another making this world a better place. I hope my music can pass on some of this ethos and we can create a better world," Matisa says.

Deep in the darkest corner of the Darkroom Dubs HQ, hidden behind a racks and racks of records, is a secret passageway. Beyond it lies a long dark tunnel laced with more booby traps than the entire Indiana Jones franchise. Follow it to the very end, if you dare, and you will find a two-foot thick door made of the strongest Scottish steel. Only two men can open it, but everyone knows what is behind it.

Those men are Darkroom Dubs bosses Silicone Soul. And the loot behind this heavily guarded façade is the masters to Darkroom Dubs remarkable back catalogue: A vault stocked with over 16 years of ageless deep, dark designs from some of the worlds most respected and innovative house and techno craftsmen. A vault that contains no fluff, no filler. Just grooves tailored strictly for understanding dancefloors that come with a sound of their own. Its a late-night hypnotic, forward-facing sound that is showcased perfectly here on From The Vaults Vol. 1.

Classics, forgotten treasures and current heaters: From The Vaults Vol. 1 comprises of 20 Darkroom Dubs discs through the ages from the labels sprawling global family of kindred spirits. Skinnerbox, Sei A, Id!r, Extrawelt, The Spirals (aka Silver City), dubspeeka, Freska and many more, including Silicone Soul themselves. 16 years deep but consistently timeless, these are the deepest, darkest corners of Darkroom Dubs vault. What lies beyond it is now up to you.

Plastic Fantasy 007 w/ Aiden Francis

MASA 006 delves deep into the sound of Leipzig resident HAL (@h0a0l)and includes two additional collaborations with his long-time friend & studio partner Perm (@perm-3). It's an elegant selection of tracks produced between 2018 and 2023, some of them recovered from long-lost hard drives and carefully remixed with the help of T I N's keen ears.

An always-present groove, magnetic synth-scapes, and saturated ambiance set the pace throughout the EP while the warm and fuzzy sound makes for timeless joy, blending throbbing techno with deep house and dubby nuances, giving every beat a distinct texture.

Following her contribution to this Spring’s Gudu & Friends Vol. 1 compilation, Lady Blacktronika steps out with a full EP for Peggy Gou’s Gudu label.

Whether operating as Lady Blacktronika or her Femanyst alias, Akua Grant has built a deserved reputation as one of house and techno’s most daring and unique artists - one that dates back 25 years now, when she first debuted as a vocalist. 

“House and techno” can be a cliched catch-all term, but in Grant’s case, she really has explored the extremes of both sides. Her early Lady Blacktronika work, when she earned the nickname The First Lady of Beatdown, saw her produce and narrate a style of deep house that was both sensitive and transgressive, while as Femanyst, she explores some of techno’s darkest corners, all distorted kicks and serrated edges. 

Her EP for Gudu kicks off with some serious intent: ‘Baby I Got It’ chops its vocals rough and raw, pairing them with marching drums and the sort of idiosyncratic synth-work that feels like a Blacktronika signature at this point. ‘Sing the Blues’ and ‘Hold My Hand’ take things smoother, but without ever deferring to type — as ever with Grant’s music, she works with such sleight of hand that it’s easy to skip back three minutes previous and wonder how the hell we got here. Her tracks are just that hypnotic and hallucinatory. 

Closing the EP, Octo Octa provides a remix of ‘Hold My Hand’ that extends things to a full 12 minutes (note: slightly shorter on the vinyl due to time constraints), taking us out with crushed percs and held pads over some undeniable drum work.

This EP marks the final release of Gudu’s busiest year to date, with music on the label in 2023 coming from Special Request, Matisa, Mogwaa, Hiver, Matrefakt, DMX Krew, Dukwa, Brain de Palma, Lady Blacktronika, Salamanda and Closet Yi.


Gudu Records will release ‘Trablonika Daly’ on December 7 - on vinyl and digital download. The first track, ‘Baby I Got It’ is available to stream now.


Tracklist:
01. Baby I Got It
02. Sing the Blues
03. Hold My Hand
04. Hold My Hand (Octo Octa’s Sapphic Trails in Bloom Mix)

Lady Blacktronika - Baby I Got It

Release date:
26 January 2024

Acid-layered beats and polyrhythmic drums drive over deep subby basses to bring you a guaranteed room rattler, pairing house party attitude with warehouse edge.

This 6-track techno/hard groove EP is serious but also a little careless - like moving so fast you break things (or forgetting to back up your hard drive).
