Colkin, who is based in Wuppertal, is one of those guys who pushes things forward in the subcultural field and follows words with deeds. Together with Nico aka @dont-call-him-molly and his other partners, he has been running the @mauke_club in Wuppertal for several years. An ultimate melting point for dance culture, scene connoisseurs - as well as newcomers who want to be smoothly introduced into the things we love. Not to forget his considerable discography. 

Besides the fact that he is a fine guy and we have been in exchange with him for a long time, we appreciate his taste in music very much. This seems to be mutual, as the ep he recorded fits us like a glove. Three what we find to be great, timeless house productions that forget the Covid circumstances for a brief moment and bring the dance floor to life with your eyes closed. These tracks will accompany us until the clubs reopen, That's for sure!

We are also pleased that @Javonntte and @melchiorsultana have been musical influences on these productions, which were recorded in Paris during Colkin's stay there. This obviously had a considerable influence on the naming. Whether in Paris, Wuppertal or Düsseldorf - we are actually looking forward to our fifth release with Colkin!

Gare de L'Est EP

RAWSOUL005 I Colkin - Gare De L'Est EP (ft. Javonntte, Kevin7)

Limited edition vinyl: 
shallnotfade.co.uk/album/tactics-ep

Shall Not Fade is cultivating a tight family of producers for the Time Is Now imprint, showcasing some of the freshest garage and breaks - London based DJ Yosh is well-established within that family now, returning for his second EP of 2021. Like the last, expect killer cuts of breakbeat madness, built for the darkest clubs and the wildest nights.

Tactics EP opens with the rough and ready ‘Strike Back’, harsh percussion and screeching rave stabs that make the heart race and sets the tone for the record. Returning to a more classic sound on ‘Just Like That’, Yosh smatters syncopated samples with UKG elements to create a throbbing dance track. ‘Drifted’ catches the listener off-guard - chilled out pads that give way suddenly to layers of breaks that make for a dark and dirty jungle breakdown, pushing at breakneck speed into ‘Hypnotise Me’, a rolling tool inflected with garage-esque melodies. EP closer ‘Gen 1’ feels like the wind-down of a rave, stuttering breaks and echoed vocals slowing to a sweaty, satisfied end.

Tactics EP drops April 23rd via Time Is Now.

TIN016 // YOSH - Tactics EP

Limited edition blue vinyl:
https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/real-love-ep

Swedish producer and one to watch, Fidde, joins Shall Not Fade for his debut Real Love EP. The up-and-comer has gained attention with infectious self-released singles, blending house rhythms with more complex, natural instrumentation to great effect on this vinyl only release.

Subtle echoes of birdsong swirl around a glittering house beat in ‘Real Love’, emotive sax and keys giving a jubilant feel to the record opener that captures the feeling of the early days of romance perfectly. ‘Limmie’ uses hand drums and dreamy guitar loops to evoke hot summer holidays; the echoes of vocals and tinges of electro intonations bring the club energy. A jazzy edge to the EP builds from ‘Cry’, where gentle piano is drawn into focus before the pulse of the dance hits, and melting across to the B-side with ‘Funky Mr. Cameron’ - one long groovy, explorative jazz riff with playful guitar snippets. Dynamic percussion undulates throughout ‘Me Without You’; a soulful, hazey song full of romance and complete with sax solo - one for star-crossed lovers on the dancefloor. ‘Reminisce’ serves up high energy to close out the EP, building from the swirling melody into chopped up vocals that become an unstoppable earworm - ending with another delicate touch of that 303 bassline.

Real Love EP drops July 30th via Shall Not Fade.

Do you know the moment at the party when vocals that everyone recognizes kick in? Hands up in the air, collective screaming, true euphoria…
‘Do You Know’, the latest edit of Whitney Houston’s ultimate hit ‘How will I know’ does exactly that to any given dance floor. The mysterious artist who made this edit uses hypnotic breakbeat rhythm layered with fat stabs and arpeggiated cowbells. These elements create positive and a feel-good vibe, but if you add one of the best vocals in the history of pop music on the top, then you have an absolute dance floor weapon.
‘Do you know’ is coming out via PXU white series on September 20th in the limited vinyl-only release as an edit package. The release includes two edits of aforementioned Whitney Houston’s ‘How will I know’ and two edits of Mary J Blige’s ‘Family Affair’.

Movement & Earthnut - Spriggan

The second producer on this project to get his debut 1Forty release is On1. LOCKT (1Forty Founder) met the Birmingham born producer at Rinse FM where the two were both appearing on Marcus Nasty’s show. From then On1 kept in touch sending promos and once he had something that seemed a good fit for the label a demo ensued which was accepted at the first time of asking. ‘Ris Key’ takes inspiration from early Grime instrumentals, focusing on nostalgic sounds whilst creating space within the track to create more emphasis for the MC on sets.

On1 has begun to make a name for himself in the UKG scene over the past year due to his unique and moody productions. Taking a lot of inspiration from the likes of El-B, Zed Bias and Skream in the period where UK Garage was progressively getting darker and in turn creating dubstep. Five years after he started taking producing much more seriously he’s now supported two out of the three as well as Plastician who you could argue was amongst that transition, and Zed has supported his productions along with other tastemakers such as Conducta and Jossy Mitsu.

Focusing a lot on self releases and even vinyl releases, On1 the London based producer has released on a lot the most renowned UKG labels in the underground such as Gather, Downplay and Strictly Flava linking up with the likes of other 1Forty featured artists Shantie, Dizzle Kid and Kobe JT as well as ZeroFG and Soundboy Cookie who are also making strong moves in the scene right now. The end of 2020 see’s On1 making his debut release on 1Forty to end the year with a bang.

Please tune in for the full vibe!! I made this track using my Pocket Operators (PO-32 & PO-33) then added in the vocals in Reason 11 before mastering. I would love to know what you think, sounds a bit ruff, but if you ever used a pocket operator you will understand. X

Thanks

Rising star @MPH-uk hits @NightBassRecords at full speed with his stellar 5-track ‘Nova’ EP. Effervescent padlines kick things off in ‘Famous’ with an impeccable flow from @PVCukmusic over a wicked low-end bassline, fortified by breakbeat arrangements that build anticipation into the next track ‘Useless’ where simple chord progressions melt harmoniously into notes of funk and soul. MPH’s trademark of blending a nice groove with bass heavy sounds comes through in ‘Deja Vu’ with the groovy soundscape following suit in ridiculously smooth title track ‘Nova’, a deeply satisfying garage number whose blissful resonance serenades you into the final track ‘Bus’, a classic cut of UK bass and grime to round off this incredible package.

It’s here, the long-awaited 12 inch from your local dub Doctor. Original Pirate Material is the new limited run vinyl project from ec2a. The first in a new series set to showcase the deepest and darkest sounds of UK Bass. A nod to those noughtie(s) Thursday nights at London institution Plastic People.

Volume one sees OG pirate Main Phase deliver in signature style with a rudeboi Ragga 2-Step number. Bluetoof follows up his recent double dub delivery with SW17, a deep garage groover fit for the pending summer sunsets and Sunday roll-throughs. The B side sees Ollie Rant team up with Takjacob for 4 minutes of bass weight badness, whilst DJ Crisps goes dutch with the junglist 'Massive'!
