Lucid (Jhobei Remix)

exclusive | Jhobei - Imperfection | TAN

To mark its tenth digital release, the Bizarre Trax-affiliated TAN label unveils TAN Trax All Stars - a ten-track celebration that feels more like a love letter to the crew’s extended musical family than a mere compilation. What started as a playful outlet parallel to the more curated, wax-driven Bizarre Trax has evolved into a fully formed identity of its own: cheeky, groove-soaked, and ever dancefloor-minded.

Opening this milestone release is “Imperfection” by Jhobei - not just TAN royalty, but one of the driving forces behind Bizarre Trax itself. With past outings on FUSE, Up The Stuss, Locked In, Mood Waves, BinarySound, and more, Jhobei’s sound has become a trademark: a hybrid of housey warmth, technical precision, and just enough cheek to make you smile mid-mix.

“Imperfection” doesn’t knock at the door - it slips through the cracks like golden hour light, casting long shadows of funk and warmth across the floor. A nimble House bassline sets the pulse, elastic but grounded, wrapped in fluttering pads and tight, swung percussion. The titular vocal - clipped, unfussy - drops in almost as an afterthought, but anchors the track like a mantra. Jhobei adds just enough synth variation to keep the groove shapeshifting, always teasing, never overplaying its hand.

Like much of Jhobei’s work, “Imperfection” doesn’t beg to be heard - it just feels like it’s always been there, waiting to soundtrack a hazy morning after or a peak-time wiggle. As far as mission statements go, it’s a perfect opener for an imprint built on community, playfulness, and groove without ego.

Ten releases deep, TAN’s personality is sharper than ever - and “Imperfection” is a reminder that sometimes the smoothest things come with just the right amount of grit.

PREMIERE: Jhobei - Savour

exclusive | Joolmad - Hakuna | SHIBUI

London-based imprint SHIBUI launches its vinyl series with a statement of intent — and Joolmad’s “Hakuna EP” delivers exactly the kind of sleek, club-ready energy that sets the tone for the label’s journey ahead. Across four cuts (plus a remix from Jhobei), Joolmad flexes his knack for turning minimalism into movement - and the title track “Hakuna” leads the charge with irresistible swagger.

It’s one of those tracks that sneaks up on you - a tightly wound groove that unravels just enough to keep you hooked. The bassline hums with understated confidence, the kind of low-end pulse that locks you in without shouting for attention. A whirling synth line sways around it, playful yet precise, twisting like smoke in a dimly lit room. Add in those hip-hop-style scratches — subtle, teasing, perfectly placed - and “Hakuna” starts to blur genre lines with effortless cool.

What truly distinguishes “Hakuna” is its sense of equilibrium - a masterful balance between restraint and release.  Each subtle pause and fleeting break feels intentional, allowing the rhythm to exhale before plunging back into its rolling momentum. Its physicality translates directly to the body - you can almost feel the track’s motion unfold, envisioning a dancer caught mid-groove, loose-limbed and instinctive, lost in the hypnotic pull of the loop.

With “Hakuna,” Joolmad channels the essence of modern Minimal: functional, funky, and full of character. It’s the kind of tune that DJs keep in their record bag waiting for the moment when the floor needs just a little more bounce, a little more soul, a little more attitude.
