2023 SUMMER VIBES

Mutations I: Death, Taxes & Hanger

Sam Handwich

January 2023 sees the launch of 'Steppers Globe’, a 4-week period of releases to showcase overseas UK Garage artists and display their talent on the main stage. The project consists of 4 EPs (to be released one per week in January), each of which are crossover releases with overseas labels pushing the UK-Garage sound. 

SPRAYBOX (Japan) was founded by Tokyo based producers Genick,
Jacotanu, Nizikawa, and Oblongar in November 2021. Their sole purpose
was to support Japanese dance producers, whose music draws a direct
influence from UK Bass sub genres.

 In this link-up, Steppers Club founding member Sam Deeley joins
 forces with That Fancy I, another very special Japanese prospect.

PREMIERE: Sam Deeley & That Fancy I - 98 Riddim [Steppers Club x Spraybox]

What do clouds sound like? For 3024's first release of 2023, we are super proud to present an exploration of that question by the amazing Italian-Ivorian producer Ehua on her new EP.
"Clouds EP" consists of four sonically and energetically varied tracks inspired by the paradoxical nature of these mood-shifting objects, suspended in space. They can be heavy or light, menacing or comforting, distraught or at ease. They are still but in motion, they can cause fear and confusion or give you strength, awareness and empowerment. Ehua's music combines live handmade percussion and flutes (the ancient Duduk on Nefele and recorder on Vola) with fierce drum programming and synth work. This is music for the mind and the 'floor! Enjoy.

Clouds

PREMIERE: Ehua -  Piume [3024]

Warsaw's finest producer, envee (yes spelled in low blocks) has been around the block since the early 2000s and is arguably Poland's #1 producer of underground dance music, with soul. With a sound that often leans towards the UK underground, we thought that we should enlist one of envee's (and our's) fave producers to remix his new Local Talk release.Manchester's finest Zed Bias.

We asked Zed to give us that deep, soulful 2-Step rub but with a slight jazz edge and boy did he deliver. It's proper UK deep UK 2-step / garage that will work in any (!) decent club.yup it's that good.

Styrax sounds like a killer jazz-funk banger straight out the Bugz In The Attic playbook with jazzy rhodes, breakbeats, big strings, and a bad bassline. West London meets Warzaw, bam!!
