Artist: @djdeeon Title: Destiny

While Chicago’s juke and footwork culture has had many pioneers during its four decades of existence, it would be impossible to talk about it without mentioning the Godfather himself, DJ Deeon. Hailing from the Low End, one of the most fertile areas of the city for innovation, he and other residents of the since demolished string of housing projects on south State Street birthed a sound that would change the landscape of their city forever. Among his massive discography, timeless tracks such as Freak Like Me, Let Me Bang, and Work This M.F. have stayed in DJ’s crates for almost 30 years since their creation. Off of these classics alone, he would be cemented in dance music history forever, but since his first release in 1994, Deeon’s hustle hasn’t slowed down at all.

Continuing his legacy, he’s back with Destiny, four fresh new Chicago club monsters that mark his debut on the Teklife imprint. Combining classic kits with big pummeling synths and heavy FX treatments, these new tracks build a bridge between Deeon’s raw early ghetto house sound and a more modern pallet. While there’s still plenty of hard pounding 909 action, there’s strong detailing in the hats and micro percussion not unlike that found in footwork tracks. Somber string samples and morphing acid baselines sit under rowdy tom triplets, while party chants voiced by the man himself echo through the mix.

A longtime friend of the late DJ Rashad, Deeon dedicates this new EP to him and will be donating all the pro- ceeds to his family. Even though the two were a generation apart, they both shared space on the legendary Dance Mania catalog in the 90s, and since meeting had always fed off each other’s energy, holding a great mutual respect for each other. While Deeon might be more known for the ghetto house & juke side of history, and Rashad for his great innovation among the footworkers, together they prove how intertwined the two sounds are, as both of them often worked within the grey area in-between them. In Deeon’s own words: “To Rashad. Much love and respect, thanks for the motivation. Missing you young bro.

On 21st September the rising French DJ/producer Simo Cell presents new mini album ‘YES.DJ’ – his first solo record since 2018 – released on his own label TEMƎT. A celebration of dance music culture, each of these heavy-duty, titanium-plated bangers are a tribute to different styles of beats, reinterpreted and suffused with his distinct personality.

The release also comes with a fanzine, which continues the celebration of DJing and dancefloors from a sideways perspective, curating photos taken by Simo of drinks tokens from clubs around the world.

Sydney based producers JV & Palf today share their debut 'Wren' EP, an engaging, pulsating and genre-pushing release, and the most recent signee to October Records.

With a pressurised sonics and galloping percussion, EP opener "Don't Stop" leaves little room to catch your breath. A serious club workout with playful overtones; it works manipulated vocal samples over a wall of low end that demands attention. Second track "JBNT" explores a use of space to find it's pulse, utilising a cutting edge UK-sound palette. The EP rounds out with "Gully"; an addictive percussion workout primed for the dance floor.

JV and Palf were already fans of each other’s individual work - JV releasing under Plantlife and Palf under IljusWifmo - before meeting at a warehouse party in 2013. From there, they started sending tracks back and forth to each other online until they finished one song, which quickly turned into the Wren EP. JV (Corey Furey) & Palf (Max Palfrey) still rarely write music in the same room together, sending stems until they have something that is worth meeting up over, before putting final touches on.

“Cheese as it is, we basically communicate through the sounds… this approach allows the music to go in different directions without either of us getting caught up in our ideas. The other person might just delete it all and do something different.” JV & Palf.

Soon to be some of Australia’s favourite creators of forward-thinking club sounds, JV & Palf’s dynamic collaboration shines in their first release on October Records.

JV & Palf's Wren EP is out now on October Records.

TIMEDANCE019 see's Air Max '97 join the ranks and introduce his signature unclassified sound to the table. The London based New Zealander refines his sound here with an emphasis on functionality and groove. Contemporary sonics interact with a FWD>>> attitude for a sound that is rude, tough and different.

WILHELM

A dive into the realm of IDM, dub, footwork and ambient textures. ‘Wilhelm’ and ‘April’ are two tracks I wrote a bit earlier in the year. The first focused upon exploring the connection between tribal rhythmic percussion and dub techno, and the second a venture into building sonic atmosphere though dissonant texture and foley.

‘WILHELM’ is officially set for release on October 30th.
