In Renato Pagnani’s (Pitchfork) own words: “Forever, is a hybrid of disparate-but- complimentary moods. Dark, crawling bass spreads out across the house track like stretched molasses, evoking the kind of late-night dread that comes with finding yourself alone in an unfamiliar neighborhood long after last call, but there's a warmth to this low-end rumble that prevents "Forever" from holding you at arm's length as it twists and turns. This bittersweet ache is given yet another dimension thanks to the vocals looped throughout the track, which are simultaneously defiant and vulnerable.........”

Blah Blah Blah are proudly putting the together the final touches to their 10th release celebrations, and to help bring the party, bubbling up London producer ‘Cropper’ has given BBB the honour of releasing his most treasured possession ‘Forever’. Forever has already gathered a preview courtesy of Pitchfork, thus cementing the support he received from Huxley, Tensnake, James Zabiela, Thefft, and Breach among others for his previous record ‘Deeper/Drift’.

RELEASE DATE: Monday 25th November

After a rousing debut release on Fat! Records back in September and whilst prepping the release of their acclaimed Eyesdown EP for Glasgow Underground, Origins Sound have been hard at work curating a remix EP for their signature lead track, SSL Soundtrack.
Calling upon Transmission Audio’s Taneli and newcomer Claus Casper; as well label buddies Forget Me Not and Change State they’ve come up with the goods, once again!

Leading the charge is German newcomer Claus Casper who has spun SSL Soundtrack into a deep and probing groove.
Forget Me Not switch up proceedings with some trademark Bristol bass and mesmerising top lines towards the latter stages, definitely one of their best tracks to date.
Taneli takes things into the 90s with nostalgic piano lines and punchy, subtle bass. One for the after-party, no doubt.
Finally to close out a fine remix EP, we have emerging duo Change State with a dazzling, soulful number.

July will see Ejeca kickstart his new label Exploris with a three-track EP.

Nominated Breakthrough Producer at Best of British 2013 and one of the most bookable names in the UK and beyond after big tunes on Needwant, 2020 Vision and Aus, the Belfast-based DJ has decided go his own way with a new label, but it's not exactly what you might expect.

'Rick Flair', 'Skitter' and 'Prototype' show Ejeca, known to his ma as Garry, venturing into pure techno territory. 

Envisioned as a chance to showcase his own stuff alongside emerging talent, Exploris is an exciting prospect for the man who brought us instant UK house classics like 'Horizon', 'Rosario' and 'Together' in 2013.

We've an exclusive upfront listen of the A-side 'Rick Flair' on stream.

First Listen: Ejeca 'Rick Flair' (Exploris)

After a great response from Ejeca’s ‘Frequency‘ EP previously released on Sasha's imprint 'Last Night On Earth' in January 2013, the label continues to support his sound by releasing a new 4 track EP called ‘Contemplation’ that will be available on the 14th July consisting of a wide range of electronics from Ejeca’s many musical influences.

Never one to stick with a particular sound for too long, Ejeca has constantly explored numerous styles, reflecting his own eclectic taste in music and shows that he has no strict music policy. Just good quality and interesting electronic music, which is exactly what ‘Contemplation’ and Last Night On Earth are all about.

Released on Vinyl and Digitally.
Tracklist:

A1. Contemplation
A2. Jalek
B1. Kettle
B2. City Night

Here comes another weighty package from the ever-reliable servicemen at Aus Music. This one's fresh out the gates from UK house mainstay Huxley - and a prime taste of his new EP, 'The Machine', forthcoming on July 21, 2014.

A gritty, genre-bending, techno introduction to Exploris, ‘Rick Flair’, ‘Skitter’ and ‘Protoype’ cut together direct, big room driving bass, with heavy synth and bouncier electro. Each track nods to the eclectic taste that will lay the foundations of the label, all the while giving a clear indication to the dynamic output that is soon to come. As the harder tones present Ejeca’s musical development, with labels like Pokerflat and BPitch taking note, Exploris’ sound can expect to evolve from release to release with collaborations on the way from friends and new, undiscovered talent.

The EP has already seen widespread acclaim, with radio support from nationally recognised BBC Radio One DJs like Skream, B.Traits, Monki and Toddla T, as well as exceptional feedback from DJs such as, Steve Bug, Catz N Dogz, Bicep, Eats Everything, Dusky, Nick Curly, GERD, Tim Sweeney and Phil Kieran.

Huxley's finest moments may have come in 2012 through his tracks 'Box Clever' and 'Let It Go'. But from what we've heard of his debut album 'Blurred', he may be about to usurp those achievements.

Released on 20:20 Vision and Hypercolour respectively, the aforementioned tracks showcased the producer's innate talent of producing heavy-hitting house with a firm focus on the dancefloor and he hasn't looked back since.

Premiere: Huxley 'I Want You'

After years apart, we've finally got the boys back on our screens later this month. What better way to celebrate than by marking another return, to the label of their post-breakout "Stash" victory lap. Aus, Belfast and Boiler Room: there's no place like home.

"Just" wastes no time locking the brisk rhythm into place before a wriggling earworm of a lead pans across the channels. Atmospheric swells are pieced by gatling-gun snares; the tension builds but never releases, making this a surefire precursor to the bulk of heavyweight set climaxes you're likely to hear this summer. As ever, the aural equivalent of 20,000 bicep emojis.

Grip the wax May 25th.

EXP006 marks the return of label head EJECA with a stand out three track EP that is both the label and artist’s most driving release to date.

The 'Litmus EP' is a three track all encompassing selection of high production techno tracks that would all easily fall into a peak big room slot. The release is a real showcase of Ejeca’s ear for deep, driving techno beats and his continued evolution as a highly talented producer - capable of producing what has become an exceptional repertoire of era defining releases.

PH1 and Ascension dance effortlessly through through the acidic, minimal and melodic areas of techno to what culminates in a varied release with each track able deliver at different times of the night.

Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

1. Pan-Pot - Riot (Carl Cox Remix)
2. Pan-Pot - Fugitives (Joseph Capriati Remix)
3. Pan-Pot - Your Attention (Nicole Moudaber Remix)
4. Pan-Pot - Optimistic Grey (Extrawelt Dub)
5. Pan-Pot - Riot (Paul Ritch Remix)
6. Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)
7. Pan-Pot - 808 Nirvana (Ray Kajioka Remix)
8. Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)
9. Pan-Pot - Punxsutawney (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)
10. Pan-Pot - Get In (Kevin Knapp‛s ME First Remix)

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

EJECA - Horizon

my remix for maxxi. out now on wax. digital out very soon too!

Maxxi Soundsystem - Stella's Way (Huxley Remix) [Ellum Audio]

This release is going to be vinyl only folks so get them while you can!

Guilty pleasures, we all have them. This release updates and fiddles with some serious guilty pleasures that all but the youngest of music fans will recognise. HOD Stash is a series of treasures from a label that shall remain nameless but you’ll no doubt recognise. 

Satin Jackets is the first to revive a track that needs no introduction. ‘Dee Baby’ removes all the elements that date this classic track and replace them with a different calmer soul. 

The last track on the A side see’s ‘Dee Baby’ get the dub treatment and Satin Jackets has created a key laden, familiar, behemoth of nostalgia for you to indulge on. 

Finally seeing us out we have EJECA’s musical marmite ‘Natal’ which plucks a very familiar sample indeed as he pulls off the impossible and crafts a trance guilty pleasure into an addictive, patient house groover peppered with a typically ravey vocal.
