The street was alive with hustle and bustle as people shouted from apartment windows down to friends below and music played loud from boomboxes on the corners. It was a hot day in the city, the type that might make you sweat. The rumble of the trains could be heard all day long, people being taken from place to place, wherever that might be. He sat there taking all this in, perched upon his park bench, smoking a cigarette, watching as the world went wearily by. This was his city, his funk. 

Black Loops appear on a new compilation for Hudd Traxx, a celebration of the fifteen years that the label has been in existence. It's an impressive feat, especially considering the consistency and dependability of the imprint which has released music by the likes of Dj Sneak, Iron Curtis, Nightmares On Wax, Chez Damier, Rick Wade and many more. 

This track is an ode to house in the deepest, truest of senses.

PREMIERE: Black Loops - Forster Funk [Hudd Traxx]

PREMIERE: Bieu - Drifted Away [LHR013]

"Midday Coffee" was the first track created for the EP, setting the tone with its blend of jazz textures and house rhythm. Smooth keys, laid-back percussion, and a warm groove carry the track, locking in that natural, soulful vibe that runs through the whole project.

'Lock Out' by DJ Steaw features slamming percussion, a toe-tappingly smooth groove and chords that float beautifully in-and-out of focus. 

It's hard to reach house perfection but we reckon this track gets pretty close. Get involved and get to know.
