While there is a wealth of young, fresh talent on the house music scene right now, few have cultivated such a polished sound as Mark Laird. Hailing from Ireland but already enjoying success on the international scene, Laird joins Shall Not Fade’s Killer Cuts series for the diverse and invigorating Random EP.

First on the 5-tracker is ‘Bet’, and it’s an immediate onslaught of breaks and heavy kicks, a chunky melody that follows choppy vocals to create a cheeky bit of dancefloor action. ‘I Just Wanna’ takes on a noughties fidget house style, cascading vocal samples that are somehow hypnotic. On the B-side, Laird shows the breadth of his production abilities, moving away from the hard-hitting club beats for a moment on ‘4 Cruisin’ and instead crafting a pulsing, spaced out house track that feels like sunshine dazzling on some far-off beach. This blissful energy grows in the next track, ‘Woosh’ - a euphoric warehouse rave-tinged number that showcases the best of classic piano house. Closing off the EP is the edgy, energetic ‘Ghetto Booty’, with flavours of early American house sounds and a groove that is impossible not to move to.  

'Random' EP drops July 30th via Shall Not Fade.

SNFKC005 // Mark Laird - Random EP

In the most literal sense, The Late Show returns to Revolver Upstairs. After two years of hitting refresh on blank calendars, dancing to loud music in dark places looks set to return in 2022. At this point, a standard-issue press kit will say “so and so is excited to announce”, but in this instance, maybe a sense of relief is more appropriate. Relief at the possibility of resuming what The Late Show has been doing for the last 22 years; that is, blasting alien sounds of the underground through bassbins and tweeters.
 
But what even is the sound of Revolver’s Saturday nights? Ask any of the night’s residents and their painfully evasive answers will suggest that they themselves don’t even fully know. The best response would be to simply call it something unknown. Now that even your mate’s dad, (who wears a David & Nicky & Larry & Frankie Tshirt and plays Boileroom rips in his Tesla) is an absolute expert on dance music, knowing has become…. Well, kinda boring. Maybe the whole point of going into dark rooms to dance amongst strangers to records that are financially ruinous to their makers is to engage with something that is unknown.  
 
Enter Revolver Upstairs Records’ next release, Known Unknowns, a 15-track compilation from residents, friends, and family. It’s a compilation that encapsulates the disparate sounds you’ll hear at The Late Show, between dimming the restaurant lights and exiting with only one shoe the following day. Fragments of breakbeats skip across stretched rave chords, anaemic basslines hover over metallic loops, and glassy synths encase crunchy electronics. It’s a collection of music which claims to know only one thing, that we’re glad to be back.

Bound, a young Melbourne duo have been laying down some quality music for a little while now and we are happy to have them on the label after watching them for a few years now. 

"Just A Feeling" is a peak time melodic number, perfect for those clubby environments and has been getting a workout for the past few months by label heads "The Journey" and a heap of other world class artists. 

Extremely talented vocalist "Luke Coulson" lays down some sultry sounds on this to really knock it out of the park.

Earthly Delights presents a deep and organic release by Amir Telem, which has warm atmosphere, melodic grooves and flowing percussion.

Amir Telem is an American artist whose broad tastes cover a full range of melodic styles, from indie dance to progressive house. He is also an accomplished DJ and talented producer whose style fuses spellbinding melodies and enchanting atmosphere. This is his debut release on the Earthly Delights record label, and it follows tracks and remixes on other respected imprints such as Bar 25, 3000 Grad Records, Pipe & Pochet, Harabe, Mango Alley and Rebirth.

"Govinda Bawa" is the first of the three original tracks on this EP, and it has Afro rhythms combined with soothing vocals and poignant pads that build tension as the invigorating groove unfolds.

"Jharikhanda Forest" is a percussive track with aboriginal percussion and rainforest ambience laying a foundation for trippy tribal chants and haunting synths.

"Mohini" closes the release with psychedelic acid synths and ceremonial vocals, giving this track a spine-tingling suspense as the ominous bassline creates captivating tension.
