Secretsundaze are two of the UK's most revered and respected selectors and their parties have kept audiences around the world, enthralled and enriched. 

It's safe to say everyone's got a lot of love for Giles Smith and James Priestley. 

Now it's time we danced to their own music, not just their classy selections and their debut EP via Phonica is a joy to behold. 

'Still Hope' has had the green light from the best in the business and Waajeed's Detroit Hardcore Dub has been on heavy rotation in the Mixmag office. 

Listen for yourself and get deep.

Premiere: Secretsundaze 'Still Hope' (Waajeed's Detroit Hardcore Dub)

Brainchild of Multi Culti A&R, Sascha Funke and Niklas Wandt were introduced by Dreems, who charted a course for the seasoned Berlin-based producer and funky multi-percussionist and singer. 

Wandt was just about to enter the scene forcefully with his collaborative 2LP with Wolf Müller and the debut single of his band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge. In the icey cold of his warehouse rehearsal space, Funke had him record a variety of slapped, bowed and scratched percussions (congas, talking drum, prepared cymbals played with a bass bow) over his tracks. These first efforts were later expanded into joint sessions at Sascha's home studio and, within a few weeks, the journey reached it’s destination: Wibe strasse, Deutschland.

At first glance, they seem an odd couple: a techno veteran of almost thirty years meets a side-burned upstart socialized in Free Jazz and Krautrock. but the shared sonic influences come through in the hypnotic, dubbed-out sound, perhaps rooted in the close connection the two share to the Rheinland region in West Germany, Funke as part of the Kompakt family and Wandt by origin and socialization in the Cologne and Düsseldorf music scene centered around the Salon des Amateurs. Regional flavours, global appeal. Multi Culti, promoting local collaboration, one freaky record at a time.

Synth wizard, Legowelt flips the energy of 'Nadivi' into an acid bath, blending his typical grit with a halcyon and dare we say, surprisingly funky bassline, while retaining the weirdo spirit of its source material.

Offering squelchy dance-floor heavers and left field curveballs, Houses in Motion presents the inaugural release from New Zealand’s Nice Girl; HIM006. A record that drifts between celestial sounding landmarks, HIM006’s A-side starts hard with corrosive acid pads on its first stop and cools down thereafter with dreamy woodwind expeditions and ambient synth drones. Nice Girl provides a record with a B-side thoughtfully switching to deep, tumbling percussion and echoing samples, ramping it up again with the evil of more low pH synths and eerie whispering samples in truly eldritch tracks. Nice Girl debuts here with a versatile, watershed record to spur dance-floors on and soundtrack bedroom listening alike. Seek and you’ll find.

Today had been tiresome, each second feeling more like an hour. Within the four walls of her diamond white room she sat and waited. For what, she didn't know. All she ever did was wait. Alone in this space with nothing but her thoughts; nothing to focus her attention on except her hopes and her dreams, her successes and her failures. She watched the rain trickle slowly down the window, creating thick trails on the glass. Her eyes begin to swell with tears, running down her face as if in unison with the rain on the window outside. She couldn't pretend to be happy anymore. She would no longer conform.

To inaugurate her new label Microdosing, French producer Julienne Dessagne aka Fantastic Twins, has enlisted some of her close friends to be part of the first volume, which takes the same name as the label. Julienne hails the imprint as 'a collective experiment aimed at helping you fighting back your modern obsession with happiness.' The release features tracks from a talented bunch of producers, including Manfredas, Smagghe & Cross, Autarkic, Naum Gabo and, of course, Julienne herself. Our premiere from Naum Gabo, the project of Optimo's Jonnie Wilkes and mastering engineer James Savage, is where "sound, geometry and colour spell F R E E D O M.

PREMIERE: Naum Gabo - Raze [Microdosing]

The freshly Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Timothy Clerkin delivers his third solo EP on Ransom Note Records. Once again, he develops a very particular sound, full of contrast between soft and comforting basses vs raw and grainy synths and FX. Crossover between ambient and club, this extra-terrestrial groove from the half of Eskimo Twins is part of the great ‘Unborn EP’, pertinently already supported by Optimo, Lena Willikens or Andrew Weatherall. Out May 24th.

There was a hunt afoot - deep in the forest many had gathered in search of something great. On the hunt to find a dub, there would be many pitfalls and predicaments. The dense green shrubbery clouded the vision of many, it was all about keeping a clear head amidst the chaos of the search. It was going to be a long afternoon as the swarms of people began to gather under the cover of the tall branches, soon they would run wild and free between the woodwork like wild dogs. The hunt was on...

DJ Pulp Free & DJ Tiny Ramekin - now those are two truly great dj names. Anyway, moving on, la Bestiole are set to release a fun filled EP bursting with life and inspiration. An enigmatic affair with a big lot of potential for the dancefloor. Edits galore...

Premiere: Cooper Saver - Hill Street Beat [Internasjonal]

Gwakasonné is the ecstatic articulation of Robert Oumaou’s artistic and political vision, a unified expression of his interests in American jazz, pre-colonial rhythms, Guadeloupian independence, and Créole poetics. Over the course of three albums, all released in the 80s, Robert piloted a revolving cast of musicians, a venerable who’s-who of Point-a-Pitre avant-jazz pioneers, to deftly intone his creative communal concepts. The songs on Vwayajé are compiled from these three releases, Gwakasonné, Temwen, and Moun, along with an electronic mantra taken from his 2007 solo album Sang Comment Taire. Viewed from our current artistic and cultural landscape, Robert’s work is exceptionally enduring, grounded in its declarations of freedom and foundational use of the Ka (drum) and voice, and prescient in its borderless explorations of protest folk, electronics, ambient atmosphere, music from the African diaspora, and spiritual jazz. The long-form hive-mind expression of the group has parallels with similar explorations by The Grateful Dead, electric Miles, Pharaoh Sanders, and even the Boredoms, but these are only oblique references for a truly peerless sound. Like other conceptual children of Gérard Lockel, the group was part of a progressive movement of like-minded musicians, such as Serge Fabriano, Dao, Erick Cosaque, and Gaoulé Mizik, who embraced Lockel’s modernist ideals, fusing Gwo Ka drumming and tuning systems with contemporary jazz and vanguard recording technologies. Robert’s ecstatic phrasings, embrace of electronic instruments, and daring lyrics set the group apart as the beatific expression of a sagacious soul.
