Finalizing the exceptional series that celebrates the legacy of two decades of Poker Flat Recordings, label-head Steve Bug drops another batch of stunning reworks of the label's classic tracks.

The EP kicks off with his seminal 'A Night Like This' which originally dropped back in 2001. Here it gets the treatment from label ally Mihai Popoviciu - the Romanian producer brings a new twist, shaping the material into a streamlined tech-house roller that is both faithful to the original and completely his own vibe.

Similarly, Germany's Sven Tasnadi brings his own particular feel for house and techno, tweaking Steve Bug’s 1999 classic 'Loverboy' into a slick, weaponized bomb, built around a minimal riff and slowly unfurling into something quite epic.

Next up is Lele Sacchi, the DJ, producer and promoter from Milan, who reworks 'FR 101.2' from 2004, re-emphasising the track’s main room prowess. His Dub Beat remix strips the track down to its basic elements, while keeping the energy on full.

Also included as a shop exclusive is 'You Make Me Feel (The Midnight Perverts Feeling nostalgic reinterpretation)', which as the title suggests, takes us back to 2002 via a chunky, rolling rework.

Release Info:
And yet again we are very excited to welcome another new artist to the Dirt Crew Recordings roster!

The mysterious Italian artist by the name of “Love Will Say No”. A new project by one half of internationally acclaimed Disco act “Fare Soldi”. After we received his demo we were really blown away by the rough and raw fusion of Disco, House and Techno and some great excursions in Indie Electronica with deep cinematic moments. He has a truly unique style in sampling and producing and we are thrilled to release music by him starting with this first EP or better call it a mini album.

The first two tracks were born during lockdowns and, from the same seeds, they develop different themes and feelings: The opening track “When This Is Over” is about those first days being witness of something that is difficult and historical at the same time, holding on to hope. The Disco infused groover “Days of Nothing” is about the other side of that, forced away from our families, friends, jobs, loves, lives: the confusion, the boredom, the months without any perspective about the future. But to be clear, it’s not an EP about the pandemic.

A great stomping and dark dance floor tune is “We Are Choices”. In his own words, this is a track about fate: we truly believe that our choices make our destiny, in a sort of constant motivational post on Instagram from and for morons, but the truth is that we are also the result of somebody else’s choices, and our lives are like the ones we make and those that we undergo, get knotty together.

One of our favorite little jams on this release is the blissful “Post Modern Ballad About You and Me”, this is such a beautiful piece of acid psychedelia with a great emotional touch. In his own words, exactly how one day a girl and a boy meet for no reason, and many years later they’re a family: and this is what the song is about, in my case.

The slow and steadily building “Now Say Goodbye to Your Friends” is another highlight for us. A real journey with a great fade out towards the end .. into the night. In his own words: In the past years I’ve moved from my hometown. Since then, I’ve been able to go back there always less than I wanted, so every time I was there it felt to me like the last day of a holiday, trying to spend time together with all my friends and having a good time, before leaving town without knowing when this would happen next time. This track was born during one of those nights, walking alone and drunk around the streets of my hometown in the small hours, just to smell and breath its air, before leaving.

Closing out with a real beast! “She Likes Blood”. We loved this one even if it is not really fitting the other tunes that much as it has this brutal drive and roar to it! In his own words: It is a raw jam born in one afternoon. I’ve tried to polish and smooth it many times, but it always refused to obey, like a wild animal. So, i left it like that, growling and snarling, waiting for a dance floor. We think it is a great way to end this EP and make people excited for what’s next to come from “Love Will Say No”!

Ben Rau revives his INKAL label after a two-year hiatus, with a brace of new tracks on the ‘French Plan’ single.  Conceived as a label solely for his own productions and running parallel to his META imprint, (home to house aficionados Ray Mono, Darius Syrossian, The Checkup and many more), Rau cues up two irresistible house tracks for a summer that promises to be like no other.

‘French Plan’ certainly doffs its cap to the filtered ‘French touch’ sound that cemented itself into the house music fabric over the last couple of decades, and Rau keeps this basic technique sounding thoroughly modern and effective.  Looping piano and tight guitar licks keep rolling over a crisp rhythm, female vox bringing the ‘call to arms’ that seals this uplifting cut perfectly.

Rau teases some classic deep house tropes on accompanying track ‘Holding On’, as a lively bassline and some acidic tones gambol over an industrious four to the floor beat, sweeping strings and a rousing vocal maintaining the good time energies stamped all over this one.

A welcome return for the INKAL label and for Ben Rau’s resolute sounds.

He continues to share his passion to the world by using elements of pounding house beats, wavy synths and intoxicating grooves. He takes listeners on a mesmerizingly soothing journey and continues to build his growing discography. This is how the next artist Womack describes himself. Three original tracks 'Desire', 'Beat It' and 'Searching' also the title of the extended play. This last track is also remixed by the head honcho u z z v and one of the oldest family member, the Argentinian JP Elorriaga.

JVXTA is a DJ and producer based in London (UK). He also co-founded the label Hardmatter.
  
In March 2023 Scissor And Thread, the Brooklyn imprint headed by Francis Harris and Anthony Collins share JVXTA’s debut album - Euston Blues. 

"Water Temple", a dusty house track,  is the lead-single taken from the album.

Elements of free improvisation and experimentation pepper the album, while a strong thread of atmospheric cohesion winds its way through the eight tracks - making Euston Blues a truly rewarding and rich listening experience. 

"Euston Blues synthesises deep chords, classic house rhythms and jazz laden influences to chronicle an intimate journey of physical and psychological isolation." says Charles Field, the man behind the JVXTA project. 

"Scope is relative and this transposition is explored from the seclusion of a single room to the expanses of the Beyond".

Euston Blues is available as a four-track vinyl EP and full digital album from March, 24th on Scissor And Thread.

Water Temple

JVXTA - Water Temple

It had been a very long time since he'd come home - he could barely remember the year or season of his last visit. But despite the passing time, little had changed. The same conductor greeted him as the train pulled up to the station; the shop fronts bore the same names and were run by the same faces; and that familiar smell from the bread factory on the corner of town still permeated the air. Even so, there was still a feeling that something was missing, something unexplainable that he couldn't quite put his finger on... maybe it wasn't home, maybe it was him that had changed.

Black Forces made his entrance in 2020 with his politically, emotionally-charged eponymous debut. Released via Mike Simonetti's 2MR imprint, the EP was an introduction to his deep, hazy brand of house and his deftness at crafting infectious energetic beats that stir the mind, body and the soul. His follow up, Black Forces 2, keeps the groove going. Again, finding its place on 2MR, the four-track EP weaves together dusty house jams, shuffling grooves and warm, sultry acid.

Here, Scissor And Thread, the Brooklyn imprint headed by Francis Harris and Anthony Collins share JVXTA’s debut album - Euston Blues. 

The album is a collection of moods and textures, from woozy soundscapes like opener No One Needs to Know and Voyager, to grooving, dusty house tracks like Hold On, Water Temple and Lost in Place. 

Tracks develop from ambient textures into leftfield beat excursions (Beyond) and incorporate thoughtful samples such as the spoken word poetry in The Stolen Child.

PREMIERE: JVXTA - Lost In Place [Scissor And Thread]

Alex Albrecht returns with Aurora - a pristine followup to his Blue Caves transmission via Scissor and Thread in 2018. 

The Melbourne based composer and sound designer Albrecht has leans into his predilection for woozy, affecting melodies intertwined with skittering drums and snaking grooves, and Aurora brings that to the fore with six tracks of shimmering beauty. 

Spring Orchard opens the record, effortlessly merging deeply buried keys with washes of dreamlike synths, and dubby effects. 
Wildflower Walk is a melancholic affair, underpinned with a restless groove. 
The title track Aurora treads a similar path, but with a more driving approach, while an interplay between piano, guitar, and synths drenched in reverb offer a warm, enveloping atmosphere. 


Aurora is also shared here as a remix by Roza Terenzi, who entirely reworks the track with her signature club ready grooves . 

Kennett River exhibits a kind of smudged, cinematic hip hop feel, while closing track Morning Piazza showcases Albrecht’s sense of drama and pacing, producing a sublime ending to this deeply affecting collection.

Soela releases the first single from her upcoming album Dark Portrait on Scissor & Thread - Even If I Ask You Stay. 

Russian born Berlin based Elina Shorokhova has made a transition from pianist and vocalist into electronic music, balancing her ear for melody and musicality.

With this single, we get to see a very vulnerable side of Soela; "Even If I Ask You To Stay has several meanings for me. The most direct one is about an abusive relationship where you're already openly asking the person to leave, but are so attached that you want them to stay. The second meaning is with my struggle with depression. My experience is that it takes a lot of inner strength to heal from depression, and sometimes you're still powerless against the disease. So it stays with you again and again”.
 
The track itself merges a skittering rhythm, gorgeously melancholic piano and string sections with Soela's vocals that cut deep - resulting in a beautifully realized and powerful composition

Soela is the DJ and production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely impactful transition into electronic music.

Having released material on such labels as Kompakt, Dial, Shall Not Fade, Lost Palms, E-Beamz, Red Ember Records, Sushitech, and others, Soela joins the ranks of Scissor & Thread for this exquisite album - Dark Portrait. 

The album opens in a typically understated manner with Unsuitable - a melancholic trip-hop adjacent track that sets the tone for the next 8 pieces. As Soela explains, “I was dealing with some very complex feelings, so I came up with this album, which helped me not to despair, to work on myself, to grow internally, and to start listening to myself. It helped me to keep sane when my country invaded Ukraine with a full scale war. It absolutely broke my heart, and music was one of my main salvations.” 

This complex mix of emotions plays out across the album with tracks that utilize her beautiful musicality (Through the Windows feat. Francis Harris and Philipp Priebe, Drowning feat. Module One) and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes (Spirits, Lost In The Fog) and lose-yourself dancefloor moments such as the collaboration with Lawrence on February Is Not Going To Be Forever. The title track Dark Portrait combines dubby elements with affecting pads and melodic touches, while the lead single Even If I Ask You Stay delves into multiple feelings around escaping toxic situations, and battling depression. It features a powerful vocal from Soela supported by a deeply affecting arrangement. The closing track The Darkest Hour Before Sunrise brings a sense of hope and light, balancing subdued keys and strings with ethereal tones and atmospheres

DaRand Land, who hails from the post industrial confines of Buffalo, NY was one of the leading figures of Deep4Life, a cult label known for submersible oriented, yet dancefloor-friendly productions. With ambient synth-driven tones and heavy funk basslines being at the center of his sound, DaRand Land’s music often evokes an introspective quality, without losing its groove fundamental.

Following on from a number of releases on Pulp, Downbeat, Urban Imagery and the “Discover You” EP on Scissor & Thread, here is Nature Of Reality, the single taken from DaRand Land’s second album Wander Being, released on Scissor & Thread in late November 2024. 





“In particular, the single, The Nature of Reality”, says DaRand, “was written to convey a sense of what it feels like to be in a state of suspended animation. There is a natural tension introduced via the organic, swirling pad progression juxtaposed against endless vocal echoes and the low-end groove of the bassline. Thematically, I wanted to carry this forward through the entirety of the album.”

fka boursin is a DJ and producer out of Bristol, UK. 
Previously known as DJ Boursin, he is recognized for his deep, ambient-infused house music that explores political dimensions of clubs and identity politics.

Welcomed into the Scissor & Thread fold, fka boursin shares two cuts of deep and introspective electronic music. 

The original Listless Intertext is a hazy trip through ambient soundscapes, shuffling rhythms and half-caught conversations, drifting across a 12 minute run time that slowly evolves and shifts with time.  

"Listless Intertext is a track centred around the "failed" employment of cheap vocoder software that attempted to process explicit words and phrases across 11 minutes." says fka boursin. "Instead, the vocoder output made any words indecipherable and I was left with thematic vagueness. The final text of the track is simply a submission to its own limitations with some french thrown in."

When label bosses Frank & Tony step up for their Housebeat Dub, they keep the essential mood but introduce a thick, fat groove that works just as well in conveying the mood. 

"Our remix is a strictly dancefloor approach," says Frank, "an extended psychedelic beat rework perfect for late night, early morning vibes".

@lakepeople - Break The Pattern (UV041)
https://uncannyvalleyrec.bandcamp.com/album/break-the-pattern

Lake People, the man with a knack for aural subtleties, is spot-on with his first EP for Uncanny Valley. Over the course of four tracks he showcases a quiet different approach compared to the sophisticated House music the Leipzig based artist released on labels like Permanent Vacation or Connaisseur Recordings. On “Break
the Pattern” he relies heavily on the good old Boom Tschak-paradigm of Electro, without completely giving up his trademark sound.
