These sounds are pretty old school but sounding fresh as! Great release :)

STRX010: Satellite Trax presents “We Dress For Dinner EP” - a buffet of homegrown dubplates by Joel Dunn, best known as Marshall Applewhite.

Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/strx010

As we continue our mission of dancefloor exploration into the colder days ahead, we reanimate one of our favorite revenants from the bottomless underworld to warm us back up.

An immortal product of the robust Detroit scene, Joel Dunn now serves as a commander in our growing Satellite Trax fleet. Last year's "Michigan & Rosa EP" [STRX008] under his dubstep-centric alias OktoRed cracked our foundation with blistering bass weight. This time, he returns to our sublabel by way of his Marshall Applewhite project, cunningly named after the deranged leader of Heaven's Gate.

Known for cultivating bass workouts that gravitate towards modern electro, Marshall Applewhite is back with a fresh tracklist of cult classics. "We Dress For Dinner EP" is a hate letter to the eerie autumn breeze felt after supper, capturing the essence of our shapeshifter's many stylistic forms. For his slower paced, hypnosis-inducing tracks, he has coined the term "sludge" as a niche descriptor and potential subgenre to build upon. This can be heard in the opener "Acid Beans," a midtempo meltdown and theme song of experiencing poison damage. The EP looks into the future with "Ravioli Raid," stepping on the tempo throttle with its clear ghettotech influence and ode to pasta. "Old Risotto Lung Charlie" keeps the octane flowing through cleverly syncopated yet unforgiving bassline intended to devour dimly lit dancefloors. The acidic bassline in "Meat Droplets" is an insignia of Detroit dwellers, assembled around an inimitable groove reminiscent of early techno mornings. "Sunday Dishes" is a suitable pick-me-up for weekend warriors in the form of smooth, tasteful jungle with no aftertaste.

As a newfound tradition and homage to last year's "Vengabus" on STRX008, Marshall Applewhite closes with another Bandcamp-exclusive track. "Mr. Vain Cover" flips Culture Beat's 90s anthem into a DJ tool drenched in his "sludge" aesthetic. What he hilariously described as "MTV techno" is willfully drained into a garbage disposal for our morbid curiosity.

There are few entities that better represent our personal slice of the Motor City's vibrant underground than Marshall Applewhite. His latest offering is yet another testament to the urban grit and grueling bass that are integral components of our sonic DNA. Let "We Dress For Dinner EP" serve as the otherworldly soundtrack to your next social gathering - dissatisfaction guaranteed, or your money back.

Satellite Trax - an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere. 

Written, produced, & mastered by Joel Dunn

Marshall Applewhite - Sunday Dishes

A throwback jungle track I made using only the the Dirtywave M8.

About this release from Sydney City Chiptune Ministries:
We pulled together a community jungle compilation made entirely on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker.

If artists had never made a jungle track before? No worries at all.

We built a starter bundle packed with breaks, basses, pads, vox and FX, along with phrases and examples to show how it all fits together. Artists used it as a launchpad, tweaked it, tore it up and added their own sounds.

We hope you enjoy the results.

All profits from digital Bandcamp sales of this compilation will be donated to Djirra (djirra.org.au), an organisation in Australia that stands with Aboriginal women to prevent and address family violence. Djirra provides culturally safe programs, legal support, and community workshops that strengthen women’s voices, build resilience, and create pathways to safety and wellbeing. Djirra are in no way affiliated with this project.

the stain of life

Soul Deep Digital and Magnetic Soul are proud to announce the release of the Dreamworld EP, which is now available in all major digital stores and streaming sites.  The trio of producers, based out of Hong Kong, have been a mainstay on Soul Deep this last year, with this EP being their 3rd release on the imprint.  Their impressive debut album put them on the map, followed by the Mixology EP that showed off their immense talent.  We’re now graced with their latest offering, which features 6 diverse tracks, that range from Old School Breaks, Jungle, Reggae, to classic atmospheric D&B.  

The title track, “Dreamworld,” kicks things off with a beautifully crafted track, which features thought provoking piano keys, lush horns, and the cool vocals stylings of the one and only, Stezo.  Stezo has made a name for himself with releases on The North Quarter, and Vandal Limited, while being featured by scene staples, Redeyes, Satl, and Roy Green & Protone.  The EP rolls on and is highlighted by the spirited, old-school influenced anthem, “Neptune.”  The song channels the best parts of the early hardcore breaks movement and infuses them into a modern Drum & Bass dancefloor workout.  The entire EP oozes with vibes and class, as noted by some of the scene’s movers and shakers.

Q-Lee - 9/10 - “Dreamworld feat. Dan Stezo - great vocal (as usual :)”

Overfiend - 9/10 - “Great!”

Jason Magin - 10/10 - “This is really great from start to finish!”

Aaron Jay - 10/10 - “Really solid release. Loving all tracks. Will support - thanks”

Dug-e B2B MissFortune Darke Promotions Autumn Sessions 2020

1. Simstah - Fragmented 
Warm pads, subtle teases of piano and hearty vocals light up the sparse, but catchy intro from Berne homie Simstah, just to surprise on the drop when switching things to a a gritty bassline funk affair with irresistible groove. The classy track beautifully alternates between two poles, letting the dark contrast with the light and falling back from the leading heavyweight riff to its more emotional undertone again. 

2. OctaState - OMB
Our brother from St Gallen in the far East of Switzerland delivers his trademark simplistic, yet highly energetic style, starting off with vintage style synth samples and vocal chops, enough to build up great tension before unleashing a massive warping b-line sustained by an uberpowerful kick and snare rhythm - peak time tuneage guaranteed to shake the walls of any warehouse

3. OctaState - Trace Tech 
Upbeat minimalist Rave stomper laced with lovely dubbed-out bleeps and effects that is very much an updated hommage to the Tech Step sound dominating the international scene around the millennium years. Faceslapping snares, relentlessly driven forward by the poignant kickdrum and the chest-hitting Sub Bass with maximum impact on the drop, this is anthemic stuff made for the big sound rigs. 


4. Simstah - Memories
Laidback summertime flex for the sunlovers with fat slices of 90s headnod nostalgia to close off the EP with superpowered oldschool breakbeats, rumbling bass hits and musical swooshes of cut-up funk and soul bits, showing Simstahs deep roots in Hip Hop and its sampling culture. If you remember strolling home from La Cinta Beach in Sardinia, this would make the perfect soundtrack.
