Egypt-born Barcelona resident Ahmed Raxon has proven himself to be one of the most consistent DJ producers of his generation. His ability to make big room techno FUNKY and highly entertaining has landed him releases on some of techno's finest powerhouses like Cocoon, Drumcode or Ellum. His new double header for Speicher again ticks all the right boxes. "Slipmode" is a robotic workout with that trademark irresistible Raxon drive. "Nu Waze" is more of a cheeky affair, combining an arab quarter tone hook with an ultra funky back beat that would make "Phunk Phenomena"-era Armand Van Helden proud.

Deep groove purveyor and Toronto mainstay Tyler Hill lands on Ellum Audio with a new pair of tracks that come with a remix by label regular AVNU.

Tyler Hill is an artist who dips into many musical influences, from funk to European electronica to synth-infused 80s magical via hip hop and electronica. He plays all around Toronto's key venues, is one half of DJ duo +ONE and hosts a residency at Wiggle Room, which is also the name of the label he recently launched with his long-time friend and manager, Takin Nateghi.

Opener ‘Smooth' is a heavy and thumping track that drips with sweat and sleazy vocals. The bass rumbles down low, and the raw percussion adds extra menace to this assured dance floor workout. AVNU is one of Maceo Plex’s most hotly-tipped acts of recent years. He is based on the East Coast of Scotland and dropped his superbly adventurous album ‘Tough To Love But Worth The Effort’ here in May 2022 and then followed it up with a collaboration with Maceo on 'Clickbait (This Ain't Hollywood)' back in July. His remix is explosive, with serrated synths flashing about the mix and distorted bass bringing extra darkness to the original. The superb 'Move' is another solid house sound with a wonky low end and swaying drums that swing low. Rising synths keep things moving while dub-wise vocals layer some Afro influence to this most characterful of tracks.

Tyler Hill again shows why he is such a hot property in house music with this latest offering.

AVNU returns to the Ellum collective, dropping a new single in advance of his second full-length album ‘Crisis In the Simulation’ due on the Ellum this Spring. ‘Next Caller’ comes backed with a remix from another Ellum stalwart, Raxon.

Based in Scotland, DJ & producer AVNU has been deeply immersed in music for over two decades, taking inspiration from the warm tones of blues to the hard cuts from the rave and all points in between. Latest collaborations with Maceo Plex on his new album ‘93’ (‘Clickbait’, ‘Serpent Jazz’ and ‘Go Back’ feat. Desire) and remixes of Tyler Hill and Madben have solidified his association with the Ellum and Lone Romantic labels.

On his new single ‘Next Caller’, the talented producer whips up a progressive and chunky club track laced with dark energy. Raxon’s accompanying remix provides a nuanced slant on the original, kitted out with chunky drums and catchy loops to compliment the thick bassline rhythms of the original.

Radio Slave pays homage to Funboy Three with ‘The Lunatics (A Tribute to Terry Hall)’. 

Fun Boy Three’s groundbreaking 1981 anthem ‘The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum’ reflected a socio-political uncertainty and fear of the time, mirroring today’s calamitous society.

Radio Slave’s tribute to the late vocalist of The Specials and Fun Boy Three, Terry Hall, ‘The Lunatics (A Tribute To Terry Hall)’ centres itself on the unmistakable haunting vocal chant of its source material. Welded to the sort of unbreakable groove that Radio Slave has spent two decades refining, the vocal swells, repeating chorus, and jolting alarm sounds make for yet another anthem from one of dance music’s most bankable names.

“I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that “the lunatics have taken over the asylum”, and it definitely seems like the right time to do a cover. I’m a huge fan of the late great Terry Hall. ‘Ghost Town’ was one of the first 12”s I ever bought, and growing up in South London, Fun Boy Three and The Specials was the soundtrack of my youth.” - Radio Slave, Feb 2024

Rounding out the release, Radio Slave strips the single of its iconic vocal for the ‘A Clinic Full Of Cynics’ dub. In this version, he lets its infectious guitar strum bass roar and added jazz-inflected musical elements shine in a pure and true tribute to ska music told by the Rekids founder.

We’re kicking off the new year in style with a fantastic new double header by RAXON. This Egypt-born, barcelonese powerhouse has left his scent marks all over the place in recent years. He has developed an instantly recognizable sound and that’s no small feat in these times shaped by so much formulaic dullness. “Your Fault” sees our Catalan hot shot in an exuberant disco mood. Mind bending chord progressions foiled with Raxon’s trademark vocal stutters guarantee for wonderfully twisted hands in the air moments. With “Beskar” we’re entering Star Wars nerd territory. Jedipedia says, Beskar is a uniquely resistant iron that develops a wide range of properties - and colors - in the hands of skilled metalsmiths. Alright. Musically speaking, we’re dealing with a stealthy, funky as hell trance-not-trance juggernaut. 2024 is off to a good start!

Avision, the electrifying DJ and music producer from the United States, has become a formidable force in the world of electronic dance music. Having made a big impact with his debut album, 2022’s ‘In My Mind’ long player for Maceo Plex’s Ellum, the New Jersey based artist has consistently served up intoxicating and energetic club tracks for a range of influential labels across the spectrum of techno including Ben Sim’s now legendary Hardgroove imprint.

And so, it is on his return to Ellum that Avision drops a new two track single, offering up his signature driving techno sound, laced with acidic tones and twisted electro vocals, designed to fire up the more discerning of dancefloors.
