Smugglers Inn Voyage 3 (Smugglers Inn)

A1 – Cyclonix – Mental By Rights 
A2 – Jimi Oh – Red Cow
B1 – Nubian Mindz – Open House
B2 – Tommy Rawson – Piano Pleasure

The first side is devoted strictly to the UK Midlands and starts with the urgent ‘Mental By Rights’ by Nottingham outsider Cyclonix which shows the often introspective producers dark and urban side. Staggered and cut up rhythms collide in a future techno cut which piqued the interest of dubstep pioneer Pinch, who cut a dubplate of it to feature in his sets. 

Super underground Leicester artist Jimi Oh has a stockpile of hot unreleased music so I am very glad to get Red Cow finally onto vinyl many years after it’s inception. Funky, melodic, thoughtful and supremely danceable, it’s a glorious journey through the mind of a true auteur.

‘Open House’ a stunning big room positive banger from legendary broken techno producer Nubian Mindz. Rolling drums and uplifting synths combine with a little injection of hardcore in there too. Definitely the most ‘big room’ track on the EP but still with enough soul to warm the sourest of hearts. 

Tommy Rawson follows up his recent releases on Local Talk and In Beat-ween with ‘Piano Pleasure’ a beautifully sculpted late night soulful tropical house workout. The title says it’s all as it’s a purely pleasurable experience with shades of vintage Osulande in there for the eagle eared listener.

Danny Berman aka Red Rack'em is described by Juno Records as 'one of the most respected figures in UK underground house circles'. Creator of classics 'Wonky Bassline Disco Banger' (hammered by DJ Harvey, Moodymann and even Elton John), 'In Love Again', 'How I Program', 'Kalimba', 'Tomato Pope', he's also a much loved broadcaster working with SWU.FM, Rinse FM, WWFM and NTS and guest spots on BBC Radio 1 for Pete Tong, Mistajam and Gilles Peterson. He's been even more busy during the pandemic supporting other artists with his 'How I Program' music producer community.

Since returning to the UK (after 8 years in Berlin), he's been releasing killer records like 'Wonky Techno Banger', 'Overthinking' and his Red Baron collab with Ron Basejam from Crazy P (huge support from Gerd Janson, Avalon Emerson and more), as well as undertaking huge tours of USA, India and Asia playing at clubs like Tag in Chengdu (Chinas Berghain), Rhonda in LA (one of the hottest pan sexual parties in the US) and Smart Bar in Chicago.

He's a super adaptable DJ, just as comfortable playing blazing disco boogie at Pickle Factory in London, deep house at TV Lounge in Detroit or raw swingy techno at Mothers Finest in Berlin.
