Theoric Proximity, the debut album from Jus Jam, explores themes of connection, distance, and the subtle spaces in between. Each track contributes to a cohesive, dreamlike journey that reflects his personal and emotional approach to house and electronic music.

Placed early in the tracklist, Midnight Marauder stands out as a key moment in the album. Balancing early house and deep house, the track is carried by a warm, rounded bass line that drives the groove, while a brass sample adds a boom bap flavor rooted in Jus Jam’s hip-hop influences.

The atmosphere is airy and nostalgic, evoking the feeling of drifting through a summer city at night—heat lingering in the air, softened by a light breeze. Drawing on inspirations such as Space Ghost and Ron Trent, but also the spirit of groups like A Tribe Called Quest or Black Moon, Midnight Marauder encapsulates Jus Jam’s vision of house: music that grooves, that transports, equally at home on the dancefloor or in more intimate, reflective moments.

PREMIERE : Jus Jam - Midnight Marauder

The way the leaves moved in sync with the wind, the patterns in the clouds, the gentle hum of the world—it was all connected.

Neurodiversity, wasn’t about fitting in—it was about seeing the world in ways others might never imagine.

He watched as it all whizzed and whirred around him, lines and shapes made sense in a way words sometimes didn’t.

Where others saw chaos, he saw rhythm.

It was simply time to enjoy the dance.

Michael Reinboth releases a new track via Compost – a stellar electronica extravaganza which has us feeling all cosmic and free.

New single Static from Anwei Huss pushes the artist’s output into new territories. It features the familiar deep, driving rhythms Huss is known for, with an increased focus on live instrumentation to complement thoughtfully produced electronics. Healthy doses of dreamy keys and psychedelic guitar weave gently through floating pads and crackling percussive arrangements, while the alluring growl of a disarming acid bassline grounds the track to offer a brooding, cinematic listening experience.

We’ve been rummaging through old hard drives and found a few unreleased tracks, including one that was originally available on Juno Download. 2011 was a productive year for In Flagranti, and these two tracks have aged remarkably well.

New Beat swagger meets EBM menace on the latest Kri release. New York based producer, DJ and Samo Records owner Facets channels the raw spirit of late ’80s New Beat and EBM into a modern club context with stripped-down rhythms and tense electronics lock.

Four original tracks are bolstered with two heavyweight remixes courtesy of Marcello Giordani, the Italo Deviance maestro, and the iron-fisted British techno icon Broken English Club / Oliver Ho.

PREMIERE CDL || Facets - Time |KRI| 2025

Long-time NuNorthern Soul contributor B.J. Smith is a man in constant motion. Alongside his solo output, he divides his time between playing guitar in Crazy P man James Baron’s JIM outfit, contributing to acclaimed projects such as Smith & Mudd, Bison and White Elephant, and composing for TV. With such a packed schedule, his solo releases have been scarce, the last being a stripped-back take on his Big Sur single in late 2023.It’s been even longer since Smith added to his much-loved Dedications To The Greats series, which began on NuNorthern Soul in 2013 with striking reworks of tracks by Mos Def and The Pharcyde. Later volumes saw him turn his hand to Outkast, Prefab Sprout and Soul II Soul, each treated with his signature blend of warmth and invention.
Now, five years on, Smith returns with ‘Dedications To The Greats Vol. 4’. This time he offers a “cover of a cover” – a bold reinterpretation of Billy Swan’s version of ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, itself made famous by the great Elvis Presley. The project emerged from Smith’s shared love of Swan’s recording with pedal steel player Joe Harvey-Whyte, whose plaintive, expressive touch is central to the EP. Across three distinct takes, Smith and Harvey-Whyte weave something both expansive and intimate. Leading the set is the 14-minute ‘Mother Earth version’, where rippling acoustic guitars, reverb-laden pedal steel and Smith’s wordless vocals drift into a slow, hypnotic groove. It’s a spacious journey that unfolds with languid solos, gentle percussion and hazy organ motifs, sounding worlds apart from either Presley or Swan.
The ‘Earth Heart version’ – presented in both vocal and instrumental form – takes a different path, pushing the song’s lyric and melody to the fore. Here, Tamar Osborn’s graceful flute lines intertwine with guitar and pedal steel before Smith’s heartfelt vocal enters. The arrangement swells and recedes in waves, building patiently towards a powerful close. Rounding out the release, the ‘Root Heart Instrumental’ fuses Balearic breeziness with Americana tones. Shuffling drums, sun-lit acoustic strums, warm bass and Harvey-Whyte’s pedal steel combine with Osborn’s flute to create a glowing, love-soaked sunset moment. The result is another inspired chapter in Smith’s ongoing exploration of other people’s songs – familiar yet transformed, timeless yet utterly his own.
