Releases

Today sees one of London’s most exciting new talents, ABSOLUTE. (aka Anthony McGinley) announce his debut mixtape Wonderland, due for release on May 7th via Skint Records/BMG. Alongside the announcement, tickets for ABSOLUTE.’s headline show at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on Saturday 19th June are on sale now.

Wonderland is a whirlwind ride through dance music as heard through ABSOLUTE.’s ears: emotive house, hard-edged techno, divine disco, and euphoric rave bring the party, while more cerebral downtempo and textural ambient tracks wind things down. It’s party music for a time without parties, all shot through with McGinley’s message of hope and equality for all.  
 
Speaking on the Mixtape, ABSOLUTE. explains: “Writing this album brought me back to life, I was writing music that helped me feel certain ways, freedom and connectedness to something I and many others were missing, longing hard to be around people, or needing a dose of raw euphoric rave energy which gave some release at the sheer desperation to dance and feel joy. Even if just for a short time, to feel transported to 90’s UK raves or New York’s underground gave me some life, and I hope it does for you too. Welcome to Wonderland…” 
 
The mixtape album came to fruition as a result of the recent lockdown where ABSOLUTE., and the rest of the world, was forced to a standstill. Anthony was determined to turn his frustration into art and participated in a creative workshop that helped open his mind to new ideas, taking his music in exciting directions. The title of the mixtape takes its name from Wonderland Arena, a now obsolete rave space in East London that played host to live performances from the likes of Frankie Knuckles, The Prodigy, and Carl Cox during the halcyon days of acid house and early rave, and that is now converted into apartments where Anthony currently lives and works. 
 
ABSOLUTE. Is a project that has steadily gained momentum over the last couple of years, deftly choosing the right path for long term success rather than quick gains. Coming from the vibrant LGBTQ+ club and rave space where he promoted influential events in London, Anthony wanted to make sure foundations were solid before making the break into the live arena with this incredible body of work. He’s DJed at a wide array of parties and festivals from Glastonbury and Creamfields to Fabric and Razzmatazz but performing live has always been the goal. As lockdown came into effect he was packing his equipment to go on the road supporting dance legends 808 State on a 10 date UK tour.  
 
Despite a total shutdown of the live sector during the pandemic, Anthony still managed to perform his debut live set for Radio 1’s virtual Ibiza weekend during the summer and has just announced a headline live show at Islington’s assembly for March next year in partnership with underground gatekeepers Percolate. 
 
Alongside his musical accomplishments, Anthony is a passionate activist for human rights and has a longstanding track record of work supporting issues including climate, race, and LGBTQ+ justice. After attending the first Extinction Rebellion action in London, McGinley wrote “Rave Against the Machine”, a track that sampled a speech by Greta Thunberg which resulted in XR later inviting him to programme the music line-up of their International Rebellion at Trafalgar Square, while at Glastonbury, he played at Greenpeace’s Rave Tree.

20 years on and this half speed version sounds as fresh as the original when it came out packing in plenty of rave energy and wobbly jungle bass. As Fatboy Slim says: 'Only KiNK could inject such soul and warmth into this tune after so many years.

Spectrum march head-first into 2022 with this dark matter platter from one of Manchester's most respected DJs: Jozef K.

Following releases on the likes of True Romance, Rawax, Last Night On Earth and Frau Blau, Jozef maintains the spotlight heat with his debut on the label founded by one of his biggest influences.

'I remember I closed an event DJing after Joris Voorn when I was 19 in Manchester,' says Jozef. 'It was surreal; I had watched him playing a few times previously and was completely awestruck to play after him when I was basically a little kid.'

Now 32 and really hitting his stride, Jozef lands on Spectrum with a distinctive, discerning minimal sound. 'These two 2 tracks are an accurate representation of where I am at musically at the moment - dystopian, hypnotic and atmospheric.'

We couldn't put it better ourselves. Stripped right back to the most mesmerising elements, tailored for deep mix creativity or those magic 4am moments, we suspect this isn't the last we'll see of Jozef on Spectrum.

Immortal Collapse

Jozef K - Collapse

A million thoughts, memories and plans swirled round her head. She found it hard to live in the moment; always focused on the future or the past. In her opinion there was little to be gained from the present, she'd rather focus on what the future might or might not hold, even if it meant missing everything that was currently going on around her. Her hopes for what the years to come looked like were generally unrealistic, but she couldn't find any satisfaction in the here and now. 

Madrid's Sungate has been home to artists like Skudge, Trømmel and Rosati, to name but a few, and now they're welcoming two artists for a collaborative EP: Manchester producer Jozef K and acid aficionado Tin Man. Both have been making moves solo, Jozef with releases for the likes of Rawax, Lost City Archives and Firehouse, and Tin Man on Global A Records, Acid Test and Absurd Recordings. Of course the core of the release, Perfect & Nice Acid, is centred around the futuristic acid sounds both are no stranger to, with remixes on the flip from Voiski, Evigt Mörker and Moy Santana.

PREMIERE: Jozef K & Tin Man - Nice Acid [Sungate]

He had never imagined it might down like this, with such reckless abandon and chaos. It was the stuff of magical dreams, a revolution in which the senses were overpowered and a new world was being born before their very eyes. He’d always wondered what it might be like to live this way – so wild and free without the constraints and pressures of the political class.

Some might say that this was anarchy but it was in fact quite the opposite for there was a method to their madness, a rationale and rulebook behind the unprecedented chaos as the workers and the underdogs began to rise up with vigour and strength.

Where would the night end? He did not know, all he did know is that it would be wild.
 
Tresor is celebrating thirty years, the iconic Berlin record label and club is releasing new music and breathing life back into Techno in the present as it once did back at the very start.

The latest release on the label comes from Fireground – it’s a fun filled Techno affair reminiscent of Robert Hood and the euphoric fast paced jams of the 90’s. This one has been on heavy rotation.

Jozef K & Winter Son - Smiling Through Wide Eyes

OUT NOW on Beatport: https://Skint.lnk.to/JKWSSimilingfa

Jozef K & Winter Son are a formidable force. 'Smiling Through Wide Eyes' on Skint Records emphasises their capabilities. Remix duty has been handed to Swedish duo Mr Tophat & Art Alfie and Berlin­ based Argy.

Jozef K & Winter Son explained of the EP, “[it’s an] old school record made in homage to UK rave culture. Expect drum breaks, rave pianos and bass,” accentuated by the lyric, ‘ We make this prayer to you.” 'Smiling Through Wide Eyes' commences the release with an unstoppable energy that wouldn't sound out of place in the bygone parties of The Haçienda, awash with loopy horns, piano and vocals. The heady 'Starlight In Another World' is framed by a scattered female vocal, craving the magic of those early hours. Mr. Tophat & Art Aflie add a heavier edge with their remix of ' Smiling Through Wide Eyes', whilst Argy spirals the energy levels with his high­ powered remix.

Manchester born Jozef K started his DJ career at the most established club of his home city, Sankeys at just 19 years old. Moving towards the present day, he is now resident of the global brand. Fellow Mancunian, Winter Son i s famed for his love of drum machines and percussion pads. Between them they have released on Kim Ann Foxman’s Firehouse Recordings, One Records, Rebirth and Hush Hush.

Mr Tophat & Art Alfie a re both DJ’s and producers, whilst also co­founding Karlovak Recordings. Greek in origin, Argy first rose to fame with the 2005 anthem ‘Love Dose’, one of the biggest tracks of that year. Fast forward 16 years and he has released on Defected, Objektivity and Cocoon and set up the label These Days.

Jozef K & Winter Son - Smiling Through Wide Eyes (Original Mix)

"Inward Spiral" is taken from "Explorations 09", the latest offering in @Anjunadeep's acclaimed compilation series and it's Manchester producer @jozef-k label debut. The track is an airy arrangement of subtle sounding synthwork that plays like magic against the backdrop of stuttering claps and organic percussion, the track seems to be perfectly aimed at both dancefloors and sun-drenched festival grounds.

"I am inspired by all art that I am exposed to: from architecture to paintings to film and of course music - so it is quite hard to pinpoint a singular example.  I use artistic influences combined with my mood in the studio that day, so basically it was inspired by my whole life to that point, which I guess sounds slightly ridiculous but also very true. I felt there was an ethereal, introspective quality to the record, hence the title." - Jozef K

A renowned showcase of fresh talent from the global electronic scene, Anjunadeep’s Explorations series returns this April with "Explorations 09". This time around the series welcomes seven new artists for their full label debuts in Magdalena, Lily AZ, Tom Peters, BAILE, Jozef K, Boxer, and Ronfoller.
