Royo is a fierce champion of the Texas underground.
With production credits that stretch back to '04 and a DJ schedule that spans nearly two decades, the Houston-based artist has been a foundational force in defining the sound of Texas electronic music. Under his previous pseudonym Sines, he founded Formant Recordings and Freshmore, which were homes for dubstep and club-leaning experiments. And in the mid-'10s, he rose to further prominence as a former member of production duo Santa Muerte and the head of MAJÍA—a label that would become notorious for exporting the chaotic experimentation (and often Latin-influenced sounds) of the south's electronic scene.
Nearly a decade later, however, Royo has shifted his attention to southern club, a sound that hijacks the thump of Northeastern club styles and coats it in thick, syrupy melancholy. Under a new name and at the helm of his new label Club South, Royo's latest music has shifted to incorporate rapidly-shifting breaks that whip along at breakneck speeds, drenched in soulful samples and dramatic synths that recall the psychedelic qualities of Houston rap and chopped & screwed music. Without losing sight of the reggaetón and UK dance music that helped him find his sound, he continues to add to his sonic palette, pushing the definition of southern dance music into new forms.
With the first few Club South releases under his belt, alongside the label's growing mix series featuring a host of local co-conspirators, the shape-shifting artist's profile is only growing, and he's intent on bringing the Texas underground up with him.
To quote Club South's motto: The south's got something to say.

“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.
