Baltimore's rising star JIALING returns to Clasico (Local Action sibling label), following her 'FREAKY HORNS' EP (one of the biggest dance tracks of 2024, called "song of the Summer" by Resident Advisor, DJ support from Pangaea, Bradley Zero, Nikki Nair, Miley Serious, Jossy Mitsu and more). 

Here she teams up with rising West Coast star Farsight, who has previously released on Rinse, Scuffed, Cloudcore & Dusky's 39 Steps label, for a stripped back, direct new club record - heavy on the breaks and carnival vibes.

This month, DJ Powerade @djpowerade combines contemporary club sounds with broken percussions, hard-drum kicks, and a heavy, relentless bass for the monthly free download series. The Freiburg-based artist delivers suggestive, dehumanized synth lines that fluctuate between underground dance, slowed-down Jersey club & footwork rhythms, and indeterminate spaces of deep listening

PREMIERE: Racing Nokia - Lurk Hard (Dusty Dan Remix)

The percussive pulse of dance music, particularly the kick drum, exhibits a curious parallel to contemporary socio-political dynamics.  The kick drum's rhythmic rise, that anticipatory build-up preceding the drop, can be interpreted as a sonic representation of the escalating tensions inherent within current societal structures.  This cyclical pattern of tension and release mirrors the collective anticipation of societal shifts, reflecting a desire for resolution within the socio-political landscape.

The kick drum itself acts as a microcosm of revolution. Each beat signifies a momentary disruption, an assertion against the prevailing sonic quiescence.  This resonates with the dynamics of social movements, where individual voices coalesce into a collective demand for change.  The rhythmic insistence of the kick drum further amplifies this analogy, mirroring the persistent push for progress despite systemic inertia.  The subsequent "drop" in dance music, the moment of cathartic release, becomes analogous to the desired outcome of these socio-political movements: a palpable shift, a tangible change, a sense of collective unity.

In considering T-Pain's "Up Down," a hypothetical modification of the title to simply "Up" presents a compelling thought experiment. While "Up Down" captures the oscillatory nature of societal progress, the singular focus of "Up" offers a more potent message of unwavering forward momentum.  By eliminating the "Down," the revised title eliminates the implication of regression, suggesting a relentless pursuit of advancement. In the context of the current socio-political climate, this unyielding focus on upward trajectory resonates deeply, offering a powerful sonic metaphor for the pursuit of positive change.

Dusty Dan's "Up Up," in its titular evocation of ascent, directly addresses the perceived incompleteness of T-Pain's "Up Down."  While T-Pain's track acknowledges the oscillatory nature of progress, "Up Up" opts for a singular, unwavering trajectory.  By focusing solely on the upward movement, "Up Up" captures the essence of the kick drum's socio-political resonance: a persistent striving for positive change. This sonic affirmation of continuous ascent acts as both a reflection of current societal anxieties and a hopeful anthem for future progress, offering a potent response to the cyclical nature of T-Pain's "Up Down."  "Up Up" posits that, despite the inevitable ebb and flow of societal forces, the overarching trajectory should always be towards a higher plane.
