‘What’s My Derivative?’, is the new label from London/Brighton-based duo Casino Times. Much like the radio show of the same name, WMD? aims to release music that explores the unusual spaces between house & techno, showcasing emerging producers and former guests of the show. Artists are invited to interpret the sound of the label as they see fit, giving them the freedom to explore different styles without the constraints of any rules. Profits from WMD?001 will be directed towards the Trussell Trust, an incredible charity that helps those most in need in the UK [trusselltrust.org].

WMD?001 kicks off with 'How I Came To Find Myself' from mul.apin. The Berlin resident sets the tone for the release by opening with a dramatic, hair-raising string sample.  The track is brushed with gentle synth stabs and a distant melody that dances gracefully across this heavy hitter.

Up next is High Hopes, the mysterious producer that has not made an appearance, since featuring on Casino Times’ 2014 release on Wolf Music Recordings. High Hopes is a master of programming and the hypnotic 'Mind Art' demonstrates just that; a captivating blend of swirling pads and rhythmic elements that weave the listener through a dream-like soundscape.

London-based Baby Rollen delivers a real moment on the release with 'Tyst Eufori', a peak summertime boogie that skilfully deploys a washed-out vocal - perfect for dancefloors under the sun.

Finally, Casino Times closes the release with the psychedelic 'Bloom', a track that’s been a feature in Casino sets for a few years now, with big drums that were made with bass bins in mind.

Scopic Records - a new UK label which aims to "bring newcomers and artists with backgrounds, regardless of their background or gender" - launches with a single by its founder New Digital Fidelity in collaboration with singer Monet.

We get three nicely different mixes of 'Getting Colder' in all. The A-side is taken up by the club mix, a classic New York deep house groove with chunky piano chords and Monet's confident vocal performance. The flip begins with the original, a slower version but still effortlessly groovy, bringing its soul, jazz, and R&B influences to the fore. US techno's man of the moment Byron the Aquarius completes the set by turning the track inside out with shuffling hats, snapping machine funk snares and a bubbling bass, making it even more impressive by exposing its moving parts and giving them a neat polish.

The church was a peaceful place of rest for many, a soothing chamber within which to reflect and embrace the great beyond. It was the hight priest of Junta's job to enlighten and enthral their senses whilst preparing them for the a world unknown. Such faith they placed within him and his commitment to God. Little did they know of his wicked ways, his misdemeanours and troubled past. It was as if this place was a cloak behind which his villainous passion lay ominously. 

Deep Space Orchestra turn up the heat on a new EP for Moreaboutmusic Records. Big room house music with a Detroit influence.

On his debut EP, Matsoaka (Mats Lundgren) has dug deep for samples. As a former record-dealer who sold 5000+ vinyls to rare-groove-collectors in Japan, he's used to dusty fingers. The transition from collecting to producing came naturally through collaboration within the duo ”Dagfest”, whose output, much like his own productions, is assembled through accumulating and mutating samples from various genres. Together they have created something like a musical equivalent of a Jazz Festival on rollerskates. Alone, he sounds more like a charter trip through the continent armed with a kaleidoscope. His fascination for discovering unheard sounds goes hand in hand with his curiosity for putting them within new soundscapes. For instance, ”Clouds in The Coffee” might sound incoherent at first listen, until discovering the common denominator, the 70ies. So sit back, relax, fasten seatbelts and have your order! Matsoaka will take you on a trip through genres as ”Cosmic Lambada”, ”Kraut-Trance” ,”House-Of-Oldies-House” and "Horror Disco". Captain says, -please try the Dirty Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives! In the near future, expect more barely-believable-genres from Mats.

PREMIERE : Matsoaka - Cosmic Lambada
