PASS THE WEED

Catz 'N Dogz add another star to their Step Recordings' roster,
introducing the latest EP from the legendary Lady Blacktronika.

After dropping EPs from the likes of Ruff Stuff and Metropolitan Soul
Museum in early 2021, Catz 'N Dogz and their Step Recordings are back
with a bang. Their next EP comes from Sound Black Recordings and Dark
Carousel's head and Skylax' contributor Lady Blacktronika.

The US DJ and producer (now based in Berlin and originally discovered
by legendary Mike Huckaby) has
put together 4 huge club cuts for an unforgiving and unforgettable
collection. 'Overdose' EP is a mixture of straight 4/4 House grooves
and techno melodies, hypnotic voice samples and deep bass
lines & moody synths. It's a statement of class and uncompromised
sonic research. It's what we need.

Lady Blacktronika's 'Overdose' EP is out on the 30th of April on Step
Recordings.

BANDCAMP RELEASE: 7th May 2021
GENERAL RELEASE: 14th May 2021

It is with great pleasure that we at Reptile Dysfunction return from our short hiatus, whilst the world went a bit crazy for a second there, and have decided to hunker down and re-define what our label is about, working hard to cultivate the wealth of fresh talent that we have found from around the world.

Our first release back after the break is about as organic and earthy as it gets: Aniche is a young artist that came through Label Boss Doorly’s DJ Academy, and an artist that immediately stood out with his raw talent and left-field approach to music. Aniche made his debut with a vinyl release on Reptile Dysfunction in April 2020 so this EP, entitled 'FROM DUSK', will be his second with us.

Having established his sound with deeply Asiatic influences, this outing is beautifully complemented by a more laidback, Balearic flavour, and so we thought this would be a perfect time to bring this affecting collection of positively charged healing essence into the world.

This might not be what you would usually expect from Reptile Dysfunction - and don’t worry, the club tracks will be back with our next release - but this one is to be enjoyed whatever your vibe might be. Whether you need your soul warming up, or if you're cooking up something casual, sunbathing, or just a bit spaced out after a tough day (or a very good night!), let these waves of wonderfulness wash over you, and shimmer a groove into your world.

Aniche explains below his intentions with one of the tracks from this EP, which really sums up how deep his music can hit!

"Shortly after becoming a Reiki practitioner, I found myself studying the sonic frequencies of each of the 7 Chakras, and was soon commissioned to create 30-minute excursions for each one: cultivating a journey to guide the listener through, to use as cathartic music therapy as well as meditative dance.

This EP includes a Sunset Remix of the final galvanisation period for the "396" session, and is therefore tuned to that frequency - which the Root/Base Chakra resonates at - and features the stunning talents of singer/songwriter Yazmyn Hendrix."

With the artwork for this EP, because of Aniche’s cultural heritage, and in turn that musical influence on this EP, we decided to pay homage to the late great Indian Artist SH Raza, and reference his symbolic abstraction style in the image, which we feel fits this EP beautifully, bringing the Balearic groove to an Indian sunset.

Flip The Narrative

Artist: AUCO
Current pronouns: they/them/theirs

Please welcome AUCO for mix number 42 of the Oscillate Mix Series. I first met AUCO working as artistcare at a friend’s party this Summer and was immediately hooked by the dynamics and energy of their set. AUCO is a DJ, producer, radio host and label owner from London currently living in Berlin. Apart from djing Berlin's hottest parties, they are also one half of Infinite Quest alongside Neana which started as a radio show on Cashmere and has grown into a party series and also a label recently. This mix was recorded after a night out when AUCO was feeling particularly inspired by being able to move and feel their body within a club space after a long time of pandemic induced abstinence. Recently AUCO released their first solo EP on Infinite Quest Records. Thank you for bringing your energy to the Oscillate Mix Series!

Current influences: Peshay, Horsepower Productions, Heavee

AUCO recommends this charity to look into and consider donating to: 
African Rainbow Family (ARF) is a not-for-profit charitable organisation that support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersexual and queer (LGBTIQ) people of African heritage and the wider Black Asian Minority Ethnic groups. ARF was established in 2014 by a lesbian in the wake of some Commonwealth countries in Africa’s toxic and draconian anti-gay laws, persecutions and environment which seek to criminalise LGBTIQs for the preference of whom they choose to love.

Oscillate is taking the artists up on their recommendation and will be donating money to the cause provided from now on.
