Not content with being cutting edge music purveyors, our friends over at Ransom Note are launching their record label with a smasher, and we're delighted to premiere it! Newcomer Bawrut delivers a foot-stomping house banger with a solid beat, a driving cowbell and a mutant acid line topped by latin party vocals. It's already been played by the likes of Man Power, Moscoman and Erol Alkan, and you don't need a picture to understand why. The EP is out this week on 12" with another kickin' jam on the flipside, so don't sleep on this one !

PREMIERE : Bawrut - Ciquita (R$N Edit)

Ransom Note's recent signing Bawrut has been making a bit of a name for himself. His debut Ciquita, which was released earlier this year, has already been devoured by the likes of Jackmaster, Optimo and Boys Noize like a crazed bunch of acid fiends, and the summer season happened to be super fruitful for the Madrid based, Italian born tune-wrangler. We know, intense. It's a piping hot acidic screamer specially crafted for peak times on the dance floor and you get to listen to it right here, right now.

"Rumba" is taken from The Rumba EP, which will be released on Ransom Note Records as a 12" on November 22. His debut EP Ciquita sold out instantly, so don't sleep — you can preorder the album using the 'Buy' link.

Bawrut "Rumba" - Boiler Room Debuts

The distant island was vanishing beyond the range of sight. It was a hypnotic paradise upon which they had spent an eternity, however, now it was time to go. The raging waters swarmed murkily around their tiny shell of a boat. "Paradiso" was the cry as the waters rose ominously around them. The wooden frame shook violently as they huddled together, this was to be the end of island life and their voyage may offer precious little respite from the crushing storm. "Paradiso" was the cry.

It is with some delight that we are now able to bring you an exclusive premiere of a new track on Ransom Note Records. This one has already received wide scale support and critical acclaim with sales moving very fast indeed. Smagghe and Cross take us on a tour of 'Paradiso" accompanied by the vocals of David Junto & Emily Evans.

The classroom roared with laughter as the announcement was made. In the corner of the room the teacher watched on with a sense of thoughtful poignancy. Lou had finally beaten Sou and the schoolchildren were delighted by the result. It wasn't often that the class clown received their comeuppance. Often their dominance was what scared and inspired other children into laughter. Now, with a bashful look upon his face Lou walked slowly back to his chair to reflect on the loss. The teacher sighed.

PREMIERE: Leon Revol - Lou Bet Sou [Beats Of No Nation]

She watched him leave. His car drove slowly up the road and into the distance as the rain began to fall with a harmonic pitter patter. She was left alone once again, in the empty house surrounded by the walls that haunted and twisted between them. There was little left in her heart, she just wished that she could see him sometimes. Perhaps it was supposed to be this way, distant and sad. She sat at the table and watched the outside world float by through the glass. 

Tilman returns to release on Klamauk for the second time. He brings with him his golden take on deep house and orchestrates a careful assortment of charmed pads and samples.

Let's Work It Out (Klamauk010)

PREMIERE: Tilman - If I Could See You Sometimes [Klamauk]

He knew what she was thinking about as she paraded boldly across the room. Her provocative nature had always been one to entice suspicion and interest. It were as if a vast audience were observing her long legs march with power and eerie stealth. She knew, he knew and I know. The music began to play even louder in the basement as she began to dance. It was an elegant, slow moving feat which left little to the imagination. This was not what she had dreamt of but by heavens was she good. 

Hubie Davison appears on Needs, a new not for profits record label founded by Bobby Pleasure. The proceeds of the first release will go to mental health charity Mind.

Needs 01

PREMIERE: Hubie Davison - I Know [Needs]

The call of the night welcomed her home. She had ran for thousands of miles by day across the dandy dunes and the grassy plains but something always ensured she returned to her place of rest. "Ducue" echoed out across the night as the stars sparkled in a hazy glow up above. The sky was a pitch, deep black but it was not threatening like it once had been. Now it was still, peaceful and dreamy. Half the world was asleep whilst another roared and rioted. This was far away. 

Love Letters is an artist whom we have supported previously on Ransom Note, an interesting up and comer with a distinct sound reminiscent of the days when house was... better. Yeah, we said it. Anyway, here is a new track on Yield Records, listen to "Ducue".

PREMIERE: Love Letters - Ducue [Yield]

Hackney-based post-punk outfit @aathenss were formed in late 2015, their early rehearsals taking place in the basement of Kingsland Road's now-defunct DIY space Power Lunches which closed shortly afterwards. That dark, sweaty, hallucinatory basement was where I first witnessed the band's incendiary live show, which bristles with tightly-wound energy.

Now, Aathens are releasing their debut album 'Virtue Signal' on East London imprint @blank-editions, and we're premiering the record's first track, 'Idiot Thing'. The taut, spindly guitar lines and acrobatic rhythm section call to mind a cross between Television and the Minutemen - and it's just the tip of the iceberg on an album which announces Aathens as one of the most exciting and substantial guitar groups in the UK right now.

PREMIERE: Aathens - Idiot Thing [Blank Editions]

The line rattled beneath the weight of the train as it rumbled carelessly across the wild, blooming countryside. Inside, the passengers were fast asleep above the rails. The ground shook under the weight and pressure of a rattling carriage as the metal screeched triumphantly. Soon they would arrive at their destination, far away amidst the middle of nowhere. The station was not connected to any major city or town, merely the countryside by which they would wander out into the night. 

Hammer is set to appear on a new compilation being launched by Glasgow Underground. Titled "The Underground Sound Of Glasgow" the release features an array of talent including the likes of JD Twitch, Auntie Flo, Jasper James and more.
