Benny Howell (aka DJ Subaru) is a UK based producer, DJ and overall promoter of good times who's undoubtedly propelling a new generation of music appreciation with an honourable respect for the earlier beginnings of club culture. Benny Howell might also be the pioneer of a new post-Brexit Eurodance genre, with "Surrender", a catchy Pop oriented production with strong influences from Italodisco and HiNRG, written and produced entirely from scratch with best friend Bella Quirin who co-wrote the lyrics after a break up with her ex. Innocent and charming lyrics over 120's BPM drum machine and a simple melody that you'll be humming in the back of your mind for days to come. Equipped with a Yamaha TX81Z, a few guitar pedals and a makeshift bedroom studio, "Surrender" is the product of a dear friendship between the two music lovers, as per Benny's recount: "Bella came and sung on the track in my bedroom during one of the gaps between Covid lockdowns after I asked her at the pub if she knew any singers and said me of course, and we went from just friends to best friends."
The remix on the B-side by Castro takes a darker turn into what almost sounds like a Techno version with heavy dubbed out effects taking the "Surrender" theme through an unhinged Ketamine flanger vortex. Full cover artwork and mastered at Manmade mastering in Berlin.

Too Hot To Sleep 018 w/ Matt Cowell

The fog hung thick over the empty fields. There was little to differentiate where the green met with the grey, they seemed to blur together like some sort of fluid organism, the misty memories dancing in between the ferns.

Soon it would rain, they had been waiting for some time. The mist always came first, a forewarning that the heavens would soon burst beneath the weight of it all and that the summer was over.

They watched perched upon their porches, looking out on the great expanse.

It was ever so beautiful, quiet and still.

JIN are set to release a new EP from Cosmo, an assortment of progressive club tracks with underlying beauty and atmosphere. This one is highly recommended.

Here comes JIN09: a four track solo EP from Seoul’s Cosmo. Cosmo began her DJ career in 2017 and has since become one of the most active and consistent artists in the Seoul club scene, having residency at BBCB: Beton Brut +Concrete Bar.

JIN09 sees Cosmo's productions take on an ethereal and cosmic atmosphere drawing from the traditions of house and balearic music. While A side is lush, and dreamingly chugs along, B side sees Cosmo venture into techier and grittier sounds.

We are excited to present our first solo EP from such a talented producer, and can't wait to see what will come next from one of the region's rising stars.

Tracklist:

A1 Cosmo - Misty Memories
A2 Cosmo - Gentle Night
B1 Cosmo - Her 
B2 Cosmo - Kintamani

Especial brings back, a return to the source, heading to the sunset, the special lands and divergent scene of Bristol and the West Country. Melding the psychedelic with electronic, crossing the lay lines of this septic isle, the presence of the mothership, the grail that is Glastonbury and the triangulation of Free party endeavours from the fields around Bath to Frome and on to Castelmorton.

Up and coming, DJ, promoter and more recently producer, Chez De Milo has steadily built a sound, mixing cosmic and rhythmic soundscapes, hypnotic trance rituals and psychedelic world grooves across a limited number of EPs and remixes for the growing list of labels, garnering DJ and clubbing admiration.

Stepping up a level, Et Al showcases the best of this pulsating sound, growing in confidence and stature to deliver 4 tracks of equal strength. Title track Et Al starts with a trippy, driving bomb. Swirling, building, the tight repetitive Roland 808, Nord 3pm and Arp oscillations intertwin to create a dance floor beat boy dream.

Geiser takes this further, deeper, wider, global. Glimpsed in earlier cuts Bushwa (Futureboogie) and Durga Lesson (Ransom Note), here Chez reaches new shamanic heights. A funk electric, the snap kick, percussion, and twisted, looping vocals, lay the foundation, floating in a dark mix before the breaks and acid release deliver. Warped, cognitive, mind-bending club music.

Kremer brings it back, utlising classic, Egyptian folk samples, this updates the ethnic groove to today. The hypnotic, acid vortex is becoming a hallmark, gliding, elevating, a DJ tool and much more, updating the Afro-Cosmic anthems of Rimini to Cologne, to take its place on a new, parallel sphere.

Electro has long been a notable influence, brought forward on closing cut, Thus One. Razor sharp beats drive this basement jam. A fascinating riddim, the ‘Artificial Intelligence’ era vox bringing your mind(melt) back to centre ground, concentrating in mega-dosed moment, feet moving again, across concrete, wood or grass, the best is yet to come.
