Gremlinz & Jesta present their long-awaited debut album on Metalheadz.

Although the music itself spans only the last few years, it would be sufficient to say that this album is the culmination of almost 2 decades of work. So much history in one project, this is, without doubt, Gremlinz & Jesta’s biggest and finest triumph.

First meeting as teenagers in the multicultural streets of Toronto, the duo were both already well exposed to the world of raving and jungle music in particular. It wasn’t until years later however, following Jesta’s slight hiatus, that they would hook back up and form what would eventually become an alias at the very heart of Metalheadz.

Their first appearance on the label as Gremlinz & Jesta wouldn’t come until 2018 but it wasn’t long before talk of an album gathered pace. Prior to then they had been meeting at a staple Chinese restaurant, Lee Garden, in downtown Toronto where they would discuss not only music and writing ideas but also life. The spot became a permanent fixture in their calendar - following its closure in 2017, the pair affectionately became known as ‘The Lee Garden Historical Preservation Society’ as a way to keep those special days alive. It’s from that fondly remembered and much missed period in their lives that the album justly takes its name.

The music itself is prime rufige throughout, opening with the desolate wasteland that is ‘The Lost’ before hurtling into headline tracks such as the ravenous ‘Destro’ and the pitch-black setting of ‘Ice Squirrels’.

Inspired by 90s trip-hop, ‘Vermin’ is the only piece to include a vocalist in Ukrainian born flowanastasia, with her haunting rendition being a standout feature on the album, Further musical influences are found in ‘Andromeda’ where the black jazz inspiration is strong, and ‘Into Void’ which expertly realigns the vibes of an early 2000s stepper. Refusing to compromise on quality at any point ‘The Scarlet Gospels’ is another offering that sees the duo experiment with themes of horror, with plenty more to discover across the 13 tracks.

As the album progresses Gremlinz & Jesta’s intentions are clear. They always set out to create a journey, one with both ups and downs, from feeling lost at the outset to covering rage and peace and then back to fury and serenity. An album for the ages and one we’re proud to house on Metalheadz.

Microfunk Music welcome lauded and prolific sound weaver Nuage to the label with three soul-soothing cuts of microfunk / 2-step garage fusion. The upcoming EP, consisting of three distinct and emotive compositions entitled "Flashback," "Feedback," and "Throwback," showcases Nuage's ability to create immersive auditory experiences that seamlessly blend body and mind movement.

Throughout this musical tapestry, every element finds its rightful place.… flickering vocal chops dance around the cranium, intertwined with perfectly crafted 2-step breaks. The warm chord progressions coupled with rumbling reese basses lure the listener into a sonic world that they will never want to leave.

Nuage's intricate production skills come to the forefront here. With his unique blend of microfunk and 2-step garage, Nuage unveils an enchanting landscape that captivates the senses and resonates deeply.

Nuage - Flashback

Following Bop's remix of 'Say Again', Need For Mirrors steps up to take on a remix of Kuttin Edge's 'Lemoncini'. There was never a doubt in our minds that he wouldn't deliver. Smooth ambient pads, reminiscent of early atmospheric jungle, intertwine with the funkiest bass lines, all harmonized by a rolling drum pattern that keeps the head nodding. Once more, the innovative and creative sounds of Kuttin Edge lay the groundwork for another talented artist to craft a masterpiece.

Amber (Pt.II)

Snagged

After two impressive reworks of tunes by BOP and Need For Mirrors, Kuttin Edge himself now graces us with two beautiful and boundary-pushing originals, combining with the previously released remixes in a four-track EP.

Both originals are inspired by Kuttin Edge's recent trip to Japan, with the title track, 'Hanzōmon Line,' taking its name directly from a Tokyo Metro Line. This track is a relentless, techno-influenced piece, in the artist's own words, "channeling my inner Jeff Mills."
In contrast, the opening track of the EP, 'Take Me Back,' contrasts with 'Hanzōmon Line' nicely, featuring elegant and dreamy tones atop groovy breaks.

Pair these two Kuttin Edge originals with remixes from drum & bass heavyweights BOP and Need For Mirrors, and you've got yourself one powerhouse of an EP.

The Hanzōmon EP from Kuttin Edge drops March 13th.

Taken from The Untouchables - Onward Forward [SMDE44]

Released on White or Black 12" and Digital - https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/onward-forward

Brussels residents The Untouchables return to Samurai for their fifth full release for the label.

While working on their next full length LP for Samurai, a cluster of tunes began surfacing where their inherent dub flavourings had become the dominant characteristic of the tune. Such was the infectious power of these rhythms, it became apparent a full EP of this sound was presenting itself organically. Onward Forward is the EP The Untouchables have always needed to make - a release that will leave an indelible mark on the year. We’re delighted that Samurai is the imprint that releases the EP to kick off our summer 2024 collection.

"AV2 is not to be understood as a continuation of AV1, but rather as a supplement. It was about discovering a deeper level of detail in tracks. It's more about precision in arrangement and finesse in production. Nevertheless, they find their place in the club context and on the dance floor.

Once again, many thanks to the Yuku Crew, also for giving artists the chance to submit holistic works. Especially in terms of cover design, naming and track selection."

A familiar favourite, Deft, steps up with his second EP on Hooversound, featuring a VIP remix of one of his original songs taken from his 2020 ‘Burna’ EP.

Defts ‘Burna’ EP back in 2020 set the tone perfectly for Hooversound, it being the second release on the imprint following Hyroglific and Sinistarr’s almighty ‘BS6’. Deft’s hybrid artistic style of production sat perfectly within the launch of Hooversound as he went on to rise steadily within the underground electronic scene. Fast forward four years, Deft returns to Hooversound with an equally impressive follow up, entitled ‘Two Years’.

Yip Wong aka Deft has been producing music for nearly a decade. Within that time he has crafted a signature style using elements of dance, cinematic sound design, hip hop, jungle, footwork and 140. This enigmatic style of production has led him to release on 20/20 LDN, Exit, 1985 Music, Critical Music and more. His release schedule alongside his ever evolving sound has gained the attention of not only London and UK listeners, but fans worldwide.

Defts new ‘Two Years’ EP on Hooversound once again sees the talented producer drawing elements from 140, footwork and jungle, all laced with his ability to create immersive atmospheres and intricate percussion. It’s been teased across SHERELLE and NAINAs DJ sets for months, with it finally dropping to the masses this summer on Hooversound.

Microfunk Crew, the collaboration of Bop & Oak, unveils their latest 3-track EP, 'Future Myth,' out 12 July on Microfunk Music.

The EP kicks off with the chillout vibes of 'Aura,' transitions into the IDM-inspired 'Acid On Bog,' and culminates with the bass-heavy half-step title track 'Future Myth.'

Blending lush, heartwarming synths, nostalgic melodies, over-edited 303 basslines, and sharp punchy glitches, the EP transforms their live performance highlights into refined tracks, showcasing the duo’s distinctive sonic personality and unique take on leftfield electronica.
