Kicking things off for our first release of 2022 is someone we’ve been a fan of at Nothing Else Matters for a while now, Danish/Egyptian DJ, producer and vocalist, Ashibah, who debuts on Danny Howard’s imprint with brand new single, ‘Get 2 Know Me’. Having already taken South America by storm, Ashibah is making her mark on the international scene with her explosive DJ sets and expanding catalogue of club heat on an impressive list of labels including D4 D4NCE, Armada Subjekt, SOLOTOKO, Kittball, DFTD and This Never Happened. ‘Get 2 Know Me’ is an instant dancefloor hit, delivering an infectious and propulsive groove with entrancing vocals, driving House drums and funk-laden bass throughout.

German DJ and producer, Butch, makes his long overdue return to Nic Fanciulli's Saved Records imprint this summer with his brand new single, 'Same Like Dope But Different'. Having spent the last two decades honing and refining his sound, Butch has released on a remarkable list of well-established labels in the scene including Play It Say It, Cocoon, Diynamic, Moon Harbour, CircoLoco, DCLTD, Cecille and more. Few artists flow through genres and emotional landscapes with such ease and fluidity as Butch, challenging preconceptions of the dancefloor and the expected outcome in the process. As an artist, he's always allowed himself to express his take on each genre – it's true that with Butch, you never know what to expect, other than consistently fresh and unique output. 'Same Like Dope But Different' is a deep and tender eight-minute House opus, with hip-swaying drums, a warm, bubbling underlying groove, euphoric synth and chord work, uplifting percussion and an infectious, slow-blooming bassline; resulting in a rich, emotional track that brings something different to the dance floor. Expect to hear this everywhere this summer season!

Approaching the release of his upcoming House Masters compilation, Snatch! Records owner Riva Starr remixes a recent staple from Defected's catalogue. Larse's hit 'A Part Of' made waves in 2022 following its exclusive vinyl release, and the track received significant play throughout the summer. Now Riva takes the bold orchestral features of the original and flings them around the stratosphere, warping them playfully to create an otherworldly, retro sound before a thick bass smashes us back down to earth. With a bright, recognisable vocal and a deep house feel, this stellar remix marks another impeccable release for Riva Starr.

One of the three brand new edits from Dick Johnson's Label Mates Vol. 3.

Label Mates 03 is compiled and mixed by Dick Johnson.

'I've been releasing music on Jesse's labels for over 10 years and it was a real honour to be asked to do this Label Mates mix and have free rein of 200 plus releases over 5 labels. It's not until you're faced with selecting 90 mins of music that you realise what a timeless catalogue of consistently dope releases it is, so many gems! My method was to pick some of my favourites from each label and narrow it down from there, I've also added in a few of my own exclusive re-edits. Hope you enjoy the mix and a big thank you to Jesse for 15 years of inspiring house music releases.” - Dick Johnson
