Release Date: 16.12.22

Sounds of Lava Lava welcomes Darker Than Wax staple Halal Sol for their fourth release.  The Singaporean artist gained acclaim with his 2021 production debut on DTW which pulled in influences from House, Techno and Trance.  The rising DJ & Producer continues his fine run of form with two club-ready cuts drenched in classic House sounds.

With his title track ‘How Many’ Halal Sol lays down a raw and fun House track.  Weighty kicks, crunchy percussion, chopped vocals and sub-heavy bass stabs give a driving energy to this cut right from the start.  As the track draws you further in, warm pads swirl around lush vocals and squelching synth lines giving a perfectly balanced peak time groove.

On the B Side, ‘Cussing is Bad’ is a bright and uplifting nod to Chicago House.  Shuffling percussion breaks up the classic 4/4 groove and skips alongside a bouncing plucked bass line.  Muffled interview samples, shimmering keys and airy pads combine to create a euphoric track which blends 90’s House influences with modern production sensibilities.

The thirtieth anniversary release of the label is presented by the figure of the German electronic scene from Berlin - Mystigrix , with his three-track EP "Shades of Blue", as well as an electro remix from the bright representative of the Moscow electronic scene Marco Lazovic.

Starting with the hypnotic broken electro journey "Ultramarine" where the atmosphere of the tune immerses in the upcoming journey in the electro remix from the Moscow talent Marco Lazovic. Dark as metal, acidic as an element, "Cobalt" continues its journey through the silver-white nebula, and the blue-green "Cyan" with its golden barrel and pritransovanoy atmosephrovoy leads us to the end of the journey on the waves of the future.

The entire release is written on the old-school legendary Roland MC303.Undoubtedly Cyril and Alexander demonstrate their audacious productive approach by combining retrospective elements into future productions.

Future Funk is a journey through time. Inspired mostly by gems from the 80ies, 90ies and different parts of the world. I always keep exploring and finding inspiration in different places.
Most of the tracks on the album stuck with me for years and it felt that they were now ripe enough to release on the first Moiety album after many different releases spread over the years.
Thanks for your support and much love

As the title name suggests, the EP is seen as an exploration through different universes. Influences can be heard from equal parts of early millennia console games to the sounds of underground heroes. Traversing through break-beat and jungle, moving in BPMs unlike before, the duo will guide you through a dimension you did not expect.

On Oath’s latest, the imprint welcome into the fold Stockholm-based Jakob Apelian, who serves up the most impeccable grooves, rhythms, and emotive undertones on a captivating, enticing tour de force….

What began as an ear for rhythm soon blossomed into a deep-founded ability to craft and curate, and Apelian’s musical journey has covered all the bases when it comes to appreciation, testing, and conjuring into life. From a foundation of playing around with an Akai MPC 3000,
Apelian has tinkered with his sonic approach to such an extent that it now represents a fully realized and deeply profound atmosphere - one which layers samples, chops, and tones into something new, something different. This approach has paid dividends and is one that has evolved over time, moving from a deep house space and now washing over into the realms of break and spacey speed garage. No matter what genre, his approach remains consistent and balanced, driving to the core of the feeling behind it all, and when this road is well trodden by a producer, there is little to limit creativity - or to limit the
ability to bring forth the previously unexpected. Releases on Beats of No Nation, Apparel and Fresh Take Records all provide much goodness to lose yourself within, and provide a springboard for his new release, here on Oath.

‘Sensible Chaos’ represents Apelian’s latest incarnation of his sound, and the sounds found here build upon the success of his release on uu rhythm from earlier this year. Breaks, beats and driving rhythm are the flavours of the day, with the title track - which opens up the EP - signalling the experience to be expected going forwards. The groove is crafted superbly, providing a bedrock for filtered, floating melodic structures to shift through the sands up above, the vocal snippets, in particular, doing much to add flavor and feeling. ‘All My Dreams’ shifts the tones down a notch, with the opening salvo drawing the listener close before making their very being move to the groove. The beats evolve and evoke in equal measure, lifting up the melodies, letting them soar in the evening sun and drift into the outer reaches - truly captivating stuff. ‘My Belongings’ begins with the drifting melodic hook to kick things off before the scattered drums align themselves with the pulse, and things get real interesting here. The spaces within the track encourage dwelling, allowing the listener to dip their head within the beats and really soak up the emotive feels. Glorious, ever-present and enriching, this one is a jewel. To wrap things up on a fantastic piece of music, we have a remix of ‘My Belongings’ by none other than John Beltran in his Placid Angles guise, and this one shifts the perspectives of the original in surprising and dynamic ways. Everything is lifted slightly in the mix, creating a different kind of drive to the original which is surprising and refreshing all at once, but in a way that compliments the original cut. A wondrous end to a sublime experience, one which moves the soul and body in equal measure - and we feel all the more better for it.

Playing around on hardware is one sure way to find new ways to appreciate music, and for Jakob Apelian it has provided the core structure of his music-making approach. This has allowed for multi-faceted exploration, a willingness to look around the corner and above the parapet, and on this latest experience, he serves up one hell of a journey through breaks, euphoric uplifts and intoxicating atmospheres. Its an environment years in the making, and as musical universes go, you won’t find a better encapsulation of one than on this record - so go on, lose yourself in the bliss…..

Lakker - Milch (Acid Mondays remix)

Ahhhh the joys of creating a new label! I have started Holding Hands Again to bring to light some records from the past that I adore and think should be made more widely available so that everyone can slam them in the club.

Bushwacka! is without a doubt one of the main influences behind the main Holding Hands label. His UK take out house and techno then lead onto his groundbreaking labels Oblong and Plank that have inspired many of the generations that came after him. I love those breaks releases and play a lot of them in my sets but my favourite of his cuts are actually his super early releases that he put out on his own label Sound As A Pound. Volume 1, 2 and 3 are packed with gems and sound just as original today as they did in the mid 90s. They are incredibly rare and sought after by any DJ who knows their stuff, which is why I am so pleased to be able to share three of my favourite tracks from those releases.

I chose three that covered a broad range of sound. Loopy trippy house, techno with a ton of soul and one straight up classic house banger. I have also done a garage remix of track 8 myself to bring another spin on his unique sound.

This re release has been freshly remastered for maximum boost and sounds fat as fuck on a system.
