quintessentials 38: anaxander - more about these so called love songs (inc. borrowed identity remix)

12"/digital out early/late march


This is it, the first release from our man from the dirty south! Anaxander’s talent is obvious, he has been producing different types of music and has been releasing on labels like Local Talk or Dame Music. His music if raw yet smooth and has a lot of soul and reminds us of some good old Detroit Techno and House. No exception is his “more about these so called love songs” EP for Quintessentials! Not to forget the great remix from man of the moment Borrowed Identity, another QE buddy (on and off the pitch!).

Paris-based producer Fradji joins Feedasoul with a banging two-tracker EP, delivering his signature groove through tight percussion and rolling basslines that build a steady, dancefloor-ready energy. It’s a refined display of his ability to balance depth and movement - equally suited for intimate warm-ups or setting the tone for a full-blown big room dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Fradji 'Keep Me' [Feedasoul Records]

After more than a decade of shaping his distinct souhd, Riccardo Paffetti, better known as Black Loops, releases his long-awaited debut album Always Moving on Freerange Records on May 9th. The LP showcases his evolution as a producer, blending deep grooves with live instrumentation and collaborations that push beyond the dance floor. 

MIMS is happy to feature "Detroit Love Letter", a collaboration with Byron the Aquarius and a clear nod to the Motor City’s soulful legacy. Check out the album via the Buy link!

Exclusive Premiere: Black Loops "Detroit Love Letter" feat. Byron The Aquarius

Artyist: Rob Madin 
Track: Cherryade 
Release name: Monstro
Label: Miles Away Records
Release date: 16-May-25
Buy: https://www.milesawayrecords.co.uk/product/rob-j-madin-monstro

Miles Away Records are proud to introduce a brand-new, fresh out the bag, never before released piece of music to their catalogue. In September 2024, Rob J Madin sent Miles Away a SoundCloud link featuring a collection of instrumental covers he had created. Among these were reinterpretations of tracks by Ponderosa Twins, Michael Miglio, and Rupa. Immediately drawn in, Miles Away loved both the musical approach to these covers and the fact he tastefully selected these tracks to cover. With some additional original compositions in a similar style, the result is ‘MONSTRO’, six instrumental slabs of jazz-funk heat. Produced primarily in Rob's attic studio in Sheffield. Rob showcases his talents on guitar, bass, keys, and percussion, with each track built around iconic drum samples.

Listeners can expect spacey synths, silky electric pianos, and irresistible hooks. Think BADBADNOTGOOD meets Mildlife with a side plate of Herbie Hancock. From the kick-your-door-down energy of ‘Callisto Disco’ to the slow-burning allure of ‘Heartacher’ and optimistic sunny day feel of ‘Cherryade’ to the fully grown earworm synth lines of ‘Bouquet Garni’. In addition to the four original songs, the collection features two cover versions from that initial SoundCloud link: Michael Miglio's ‘Never Gonna Let You Go’ and Rupa's ‘Ayee Morshume Be-Reham Duniya’. Both are rare early-80s gems, wonderfully reimagined by Madin.

Reflecting on the release, Rob shared: "I’ve been obsessed with the sounds of 70s jazz-funk since discovering Herbie Hancock’s 'Head Hunters' album as a teenager. I love that it seems to be having a resurgence of popularity through bands like Surprise Chef and BadBadNotGood, as well as some great reissues from labels like Miles Away. This EP is a nod to both the old and the new."

Release: May 12, 2025

Thierry Tomas wears his influences on his sleeve on this new one for Deeppa Records with elements of jazz, deep house and electronica all making themselves known. The title cut 'Why Why' is a lovely loose limbed jumble of live-sounding percussion and stylish vocal soul, and the revered Fred Everything reworks it into a lush, pad-laced daydream. 'Life's Great' is a playful, shuffling groove with lovely swing, and 'Blue Birds Fly' then hist harder with hypnotic piano. Last of all, 'Dad's Vinyl' is a nice smoky and jazzy grove marbled with great samples and a carefree vibe.

Track: On My Own 
Release name: Let's Stay With It
Label: Feedasoul Records
Release date: 20-Jun-25
Buy: https://feedasoulrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lets-stay-with-it

Feedasoul Records presents “Let’s Stay With It” EP, a 4 track EP from Brooklyn’s Yasin Hazim, delivering soulful deep house paying homage to both Detroit House music and his cultural heritage. This EP was written as a love letter to deep house, a love letter to the club environment and the people met there, in this space in between, looking for relief and connection. Through every track, you can hear this constant through line: a message between fierce resilience and longing for staying afloat in the current urgency.

Warm Rhodes & Wurlitzers mix with live bass, acid 303 lines with arabic strings, recorded jembes with classic deep house drums topped with a soulful, powerful voice. This record is a hand reaching across and connecting sounds, solid grooves and driving bass lines letting you close your eyes and feel that we’re in this together.

A celebration of soulful house with a jazz-soaked twist, “Lift Your Heart” is Daniel Steinberg at his most refined—melding expressive keys, swinging percussion, and a deep, emotive groove.

Kristin Velvet delivers a remix that strips things back while dialing up the depth and hypnotic energy.

Drawing sonic inspiration from Marshall Jefferson’s iconic spoken word masterpiece “Mushrooms” and the spiritual, driving minimalism of Floorplan’s “Transient”, Kristin Velvet crafts a raw, soulful rework.

out on 12" and digital mid june.

Quintessentials welcomes back Ralph Session, whose previous drop ‘For The House Heads’ is still turning in crates and sets worldwide. This time, he dives into peak deep territory with 'Mad Deep'. The name says it all. It’s a masterclass in heavy yet soulful, hypnotic House. Reuniting with LA’s rising star Juliet Mendoza after their much-loved collaboration on Freerange Records last year. Her sultry voice and commanding presence just brings the title track to life. If that wasn’t enough, we are so excited to include a masterful remix from House music legend Jerome Sydenham!  It’s dense, rhythmic, and uncompromising cool. Finally, 'Sway' closes the Ep with a late-night super sweet yet driving House tune that stays true to the underground spirit. Built for selectors, dancers, and true Deep House heads heavy rotation is guaranteed. There’s deep and then there’s Mad Deep!
