NAAR continues to show its pedigree for hybrid music with James Hadfield's (1 half of Lizards) freshman release on the label straddling the lines between Techno Drive & Cinematic Pathos on the track "Buried Answers" then coming at it from all angles into the frankly unhinged cut "Literate". Tiago Manages to change the vibe yet keep the spirit of the original as he pours some acid onto his freeform remix of Literate, while Jamie Blanco's remix of Buried Answers sees him channeling 80s New Wave Proto House sounds to amazing effect with an opus that sounds equal parts New Order and Severed Heads.

Jamie Blanco - Claro (Preview)

The stream gently bubbled in the light of the morning sun. The water trickled softly down the mountain face towards the rock pool below, a love flowing upon a distant wave. As they gathered at the foot of the cliff they looked up to the sky above, enchanted and mesmerised by the glimmering reflection of the water's glow. White mist lay softly amidst the campsite, soon they would begin the next part of their glorious trek towards the head of the hill. 

Shadow City are set to kickstart their record label with a three track release purpose built for basements and festivals alike. With the EP having already been supported by the likes of Denis Sulta, Midland, Dan Shake and more this one is bound to be big.

SHDW001

PREMIERE: Harry Parsons - Love Flow [Shadow City]

The sound echoed in the dusty chamber. A small crowd had gathered to observe him play in what was a beautifully orchestrated environment. The audio was crystal clear, it landed softly upon the ears of the delicate audience as they stared fiercely into the darkness. For he was not visible, at least not to the naked eye, the vamp was all that was important in this place, not his outward appearance, tattered clothes or distant gaze. The music was all that mattered. 

Arkajo makes up one half of the infamous Genius Of Time duo. His solo work sees him draw upon darker influences, more akin to the sound of murky back room club.

BROR03

PREMIERE: Arkajo - Vamp [BROR]

The cries echoed through the darkness on a hot, stormy night. The rain splattered upon the dusty floor and the tribe moved steadily forwards into the glow of the moonlight. They rejoiced in great glee at the falling sky, their cotton shirts soaked beneath the damp rain water. These were the voices of Africa which were missing from the traditional coverage in the 21st century. Too much time was spent buried in the past, in trials and tribulations of a proud and noble people. Tonight, the rain would cleanse such stereotypical despair. 

José Manuel's "Excursion Africanism" was arguably one of the highlights of last years musical calendar. Now the release has been remixed and who better to feature than Mehmet Aslan?

PREMIERE: José Manuel - Voices Of Africa (Mehmet Aslan Remix)[Music For Dreams]

The television set flickered and buzzed in the corner of his bedroom. As he ate his breakfast in solitude he pondered what the day might hold for him, productivity, despair or joy. These days his life was varied and distinct, far different to what he had perceived it might be as a small child. Ray, they called him, a man about town. Little did they know of his reluctant existence on the 12th floor flat. His anxious tendencies and his distaste for the world outside. 

Hammer is best known for his musical output on Feel My Bicep and Optimo. Now he steps up to release a new three track EP on LOFT Records.

Canna EP

PREMIERE: Hammer - Man Ray [LOFT Records]

She glanced towards him with a shimmering smile. Her lips shone a radiant red under the glow of the hazy lamp. She stood up and walked towards him along the corridor, she introduced herself with a whisper before wandering off into the night. In the background the echo of chamber music reverberated between the hollow walls, he felt dizzy and weak at her very presence. She did something far beyond words were capable of describing. Erotic and erotica in the purest form. 

Into The Light return with a spectacular assortment of music from Akis Daoutis, a Greek musician who has been recording for almost forty years. They reveal new material alongside reissued gold on a new compilation titled "Space, Time and Beyond".

PREMIERE: Akis - Erotica [Into The Light]

Deep within the cemetery lay the remains of a man whom had been the key to the puzzle. Unfortunately they had been unable to help him prevail in his quest into the great unknown. Now all that was left behind was buried answers, tales and pieces to a problem which may very well remain unsolved for generations to come. Who are we? Where did we come from? Why us? Why now? Please, may you let us live. 

James Hadfield is set to release a new EP on Not An Animal Records accompanied by two smoking hot remixes from none other Jamie Blanco and Tiago respectively.

Buried Answers

PREMIERE: James Hadfield - Buried Answers (Jamie Blanco Remix)[Not An Animal]

Not An Animal Records was formed in 2015 out of the ashes of the London-based party Bad Passion, and has thus far welcomed the likes of Man Power, Ess O Ess and Eric Duncan to release on the label. Now they turn to James Hadfield, a relatively new producer previously spotted on To Rack & Ruin and Me Me Me. On this four-tracker he deals in brooding synthwave tones mixed with classic jack track rhythms. "Literate" is just the kind of taut, sinister club creeper we can't get enough of, while "Buried Answers" takes a skippier but no less moody approach. On the remix front, Jamie Blanco takes the prize, turning "Buried Answers" into a bombastic slice of driving synth pop.
