Broken beat pioneer, Afronaut, returns in full force for Brighton's long established purveyors of fine sounds, Tru Thoughts, with a lesson in dancefloor rocking production.

Afronaut, aka Orin Walters,  founding member of both the bruk supergroup Bugz in the Attic and the pioneering trio Neon Phusion, makes his debut on Tru Thoughts with club-stomper “How It Goes”. 

Following on from his collaboration with mentee and “honorary Bug" WheelUP on the summer-groove “Good Love”, “How It Goes” is the start of a partnership between the bruk legend and Tru Thoughts, a label whose output has been known for championing the West London Sound.

Tru Thoughts honcho had this to say about working with Orin: “I have always been a big fan of Afronaut and many of his songs have been anthems at my club residencies in Brighton. Orin has been mentoring WheelUP so to connect through that album has led to Tru Thoughts now working with him on some forthcoming releases which are sounding amazing. Orin is still pushing musical boundaries and this track is just the start.”

"How It Goes" by Afronaut is out this week. We can't wait to hear what's the next, but we'll certainly be rocking this in the meantime.

Trev is a producer that brought some serious heat in broken beat in recent times for labels like CoOp Presents, Dance Regular and Super Sonic Jazz. He serves up some pretty serious tackle with  two remixes of Envee's 'Gott Work'.

Selectors Assemble are excited to bring you the premeire of 'Arrhytmia' by Rotterdam-based producer Kofi The Unknown - a house excursion that doffs a cap to Detroit, championing rich deep house synth riffs, a jaunty bass and driving 808 drums.

Pre-pandemic, Boogie Cafe released a compilation of various emerging artists from Bologna titled 'Bologna On The Move'. This time the focus is on a new wave of amazingly talented producers coming through from Rotterdam NL. The compilation 'Rotterdam On The Move' which Arrhytmia is taken from, is dedicated to the more soulful, jazz influenced sound emerging from the city, in contrast to the city's reputation for Techno, Electro and the harder edge of dance culture.

The 6 track compilation features music from OG Wang, Chezz, Dikkens,  Kofi The Unknown, Beau Zwart & Sykes and will be dropping early September on Boggie Cafe Records.

We are pleased to welcome Darryl Baalki into our family. We hope you enjoy this warm summer evening 🌅

"Darryl is a crazy mysterious person. From what I know, he grew up alone with his mother without being much in contact with the rest of the world. His father's music record collection was the only connection with the other cultures and the world. Somehow he got a weird idea in his early childhood that this record collection contained all the music that had been ever created. He persuaded himself that the only way to make new music is to combine bits and pieces from that collection together. So he kept listening to those records and after a while, he was able to recollect their parts and combine them in his head — thus creating new music from what was already there. My role in this process is to communicate with Darryl and transfer his ideas into reality".

We're going a little off piste with something new on SB this week... We welcome returning mad scientist Scruscru with his buddy Mike Fot who came to us with the beginnings of a weird and wonderful new off shoot series called Spliff Jamz. 

Following a series of visits to Moscow between 2018 and 2020 to play at Powerhouse club, Scruscru would swing by Mike Fot’s apartment for a smoke and a jam session, working with a variety of Roland and Korg gear late into the night. The results of these sessions have led to a series of EPs; with the first four tracks ready for your ears right now.

MIMS is always excited to premiere new music from Byron The Aquarius,  and this time no less, as he applies his significant talents to remixing fellow Alabama resident, producer, rapper, singer Anthony Jamal aka VRGO.

Jamal takes pride in basing his music on feelings and emotions, rather than targeting specific genres and audiences. Something that certainly can be felt in his productions, often lying somewhere between hip hip and house.

Byron The Aquarius turns "Time" into smooth grooving jam, perfect for bumping in April. The EP also features a pumping mix from label boss, Flat White Chris.

The "Fake! EP" is due for release November 19 on vinyl and digital.

Selectors Assemble are excited to bring you the premiere of 'CBD Cream' taken from the soon to drop Basement Membrane album on Inner Tribe records! 

A new fresh sound emerges on “Punk Funk” nods to the broken beat mastery of Dego & 4hero, swinging funk rap featuring Atlanta mc Stan smith and psychalic punk funk leanings on the aptly named title track. With Basement Membrane drummer Mike Mitchell aka Blaque Dynamite takes the percussive role. Mike started playing drums at the age of 2 (!), touring with heavy cats such as Kamasi Washington, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu and Derrick Hodge, releasingseveral albums as a frontman (which he sings on as well) and apparently those tight grooves had already been running in the veins of his family. Mike's uncle is the incredible Dennis Chambers, who played with people like Don Blackman, Funkadelic, Bernard Wright, Aurra, John Scofield, Santana and many more. The last piece in this powerful puzzle is bass and guitar player Lars Karakusevic, who also co-wrote several of the tracks on this forthcoming album. Beka wrote the rest.

Already receiving steady industry support from the likes of Lefto, selectors assemble, stepping to tomorrow, Mr Scruff and many more this album is cemented already as a future classic.

quintessentials 75: jank - piece of ballad ep
12"/digital out mid february/early march.

How deep can you go? Well, you better ask Japanese master Jank! Jank is another example of these “hidden gems”, but releasing on labels like City Fly, Mysterious Works and Boogie Café says it all. The “Piece of ballad ep” on Quintessentials is super deep and emotional House music. Keeping the BPM low and adding soul power and a jazzy laidback feel make these 3 tunes massive. Don’t look away if you’re into Theo Parrish and alikes!
