Five years after the release of Odes - what came to mark the end of Frank & Tony’s first incarnation - the duo of Francis Harris and Anthony Collins return with a flourish.

Ahead of their new Dream Vibration EP of Francis Harris much-renowned Scissors and Thread imprint, comes Time Out Of Mind - the perfect reintroduction to the world of Frank & Tony.

Time Out Of Mind is a woozy, drifting track given shape by its sharp percs and sub bass with melodies that harken back to early 2000’s dancefloors a la Plastic City, setting the stage for the full EP to come.

V/A 5 years of Burnin Music / Burnin Music Recordings
© & ℗ Burnin Music Ltd 2022 / BM011

2017 - 2022.

5 years of hard work in our East London studio, it's time for Burnin Music and his protagonists to celebrate with style.

We decided to contact all the artists that we came across in 5 years, whether they released on the label or not, and asked them for demos!

The quality of stuff we received was so brilliant that we moved from releasing a digital-only compilation to a vinyl record!

We are super pleased to introduce you to 8 tracks by 8 brilliant producers hailing from Tel Avi, Paris, London, Leipzig and Munich.

8 man, 8 definitions of electronic music but 1 common sound, Burnin Music.

To compliment the music we asked Theo Cerri, a talented Italian artist living in Edinburg, to design the cover.

We hope you enjoy the music as much as we had fun to put together that project.

Release party: Saturday 15 October at The Marquis, London.

Italian artist Matisa today reveals details of Tongue, a new four-track EP for Peggy Gou’s Gudu label. The lead single, also titled ‘Tongue’, is out now.

Born in Rome but based in Florence, Matisa has become one of dance music’s most talked-about ascendant talents, releasing music on some of the most critically acclaimed labels on the circuit - including Optimo Music, Steel City Dance Discs, On Loop and Permanent Vacation - with DJs such as Ben UFO, Peach, Shanti Celeste, Eris Drew, Sally C, Mall Grab and more supporting her music.

With four tracks that range from sun-drenched piano house to mid-tempo breaks, with a narrative flow that rewards listening to it as a full EP rather than picking tracks, Tongue showcases Matisa’s full range as an artist - resulting in perhaps her most all-encompassing release yet; a true showcase of what makes her such a special talent.

In Matisa’s own words, “This EP is a musical journey. I wanted each track to represent a stage of this journey, from departure to take-off, peak time and closing. I went deep into what the journey is for me and my ambition to make it all come alive with my very first vocal, and felt Tongue was the track to explore this expression.”

“This EP is a really special one for me. I tried to put everything into it”, she continues. “‘Brunela’ is dedicated to my Father, ‘Lusia’ to my Mother; ‘Sunrose’ for my love for flowers, and ‘Tongue’ to the feeling of passion and romance. I hope this EP will take listeners on this beautiful journey, just as it did for me when creating it.”

02. Brunela

"It all started as we took our 1 year old son for a little family outing to our local, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. As we sat down to watch the afternoon ‘Aboriginal Culture Show’, I decided to field record the performance. Straight away I was blown away by Luthers’ rich and soulful voice. Luther is a proud Yugambeh man, who strives to bond all Australians through song, dance and art. “The Aboriginal culture – the histories, the stories – they belong to this land and so if you are Australian, they belong to you too”, he says.

A few weeks later ‘Jingeri’ (meaning “welcome”) was made through the alchemy of Luthers’ samples and my hardware. I then approached Luther to show him ‘Jingeri’ and to see if he would be interested in collaborating. I was delighted when I could see his enthusiasm for the project and we locked in a studio session. From what was a short, but super productive 2hr session, birthed ‘Nunya’, the second track on the EP. The traditional Yugambeh lyrics “Nunya mulla, nunya bayami” mean “Thanks creator, thanks to those around me”.

The EP titled ‘Jingeri’ was done, all that was left was the artwork and who better to visually represent this body of work than Luther himself. He designed this traditional artwork, which he calls ‘3 Brothers’. In Luthers’ words, “3 Brothers represents me, my 2 brothers, our families and our continuing connection to country and culture”.

I have been a massive fan of the Beats of No Nation family for a long time and when I heard they wanted to release this EP I was delighted. I want to thank Luther for all of his time and contributions to these tracks. I am so happy to have made a new friend and collaborator and am super inspired for what the future holds musically."

PREMIERE: Jason Merle - Fester (Hardway Bros Dalston Housin’ Authority Remix) [Whiskey Pickle]

@circa-groove is thrilled to introduce Infinity Plus One to the label as he makes his debut with the 'All Eyes' EP, marking the milestone tenth release on Circa Groove. This release highlights three original compositions from the enigmatic artist, who has recently achieved remarkable success with a series of outstanding vinyl releases that garnered support from industry heavyweights such as Apollonia.

Initiating with the A1 track, the EP kicks off with a potent and dynamic brokenbeat composition, featuring otherworldly synth melodies and a commanding bassline. The vocals, characterized by their spaced-out and trippy quality, add a refreshing and invigorating dimension to any DJ set.

Transitioning to 'Everything is a Necessity,' it feels as if it were meticulously crafted on an extraterrestrial plane. The drum patterns exude strength, while the bassline emanates a powerful presence that is nothing short of celestial.

On the B2 side, listeners are treated to a remarkable remix by the talented Baby Rollen, who infuses his distinctive and energetic signature sound into 'Everything Is A Necessity.' This remix takes the audience on an exhilarating acidic journey guaranteed to set any dancefloor in motion.

The release is available on all major digital platforms and on Circa Groove's Bandcamp page for listeners' enjoyment!
