Humble B Flats - Blessings of Sun double disk, coming out on Pond Life Records is a sonic spiritual voyage and document of the artist's last three years, overcoming grief and challenges - while deepening a sense of gratitude for the teachings and learnings along the way.

Musically this has translated, to a beautiful series of works, inspired by musical cultures around the world, this Deep House album is infused with jazz, psychedelia , tribal and heartwarming sounds and grooves.

With exception to collaboration with Kudo Sol and Ilja Gussarov (on tracks B1 & C1 respectively) all instruments, as ever, are played, recorded, rearranged and mixed by Humble B Flat, with a more sample based approach to the rhythmic grooves.

✧ Carte Blanche Various Artists Invite Intruder.wav ✧

 
This is a casual collection of tracks created in different corners of the world, fully reflecting my taste and perspective on music. It’s filled with intricate details born from escapism - like collages torn from reality, resembling fragments of strangers’ stories accidentally overheard from passersby.

 In this compilation are tracks by artists you won’t find on official charts, but whose sound is unforgettable. Noisy loops, crispy beats, distorted vocals, and cold electronics sound as if transmitted through an encrypted channel. Each composition is like a hidden message understood only by those who know where to look.

 No rules, no censorship, no regard for algorithms - just the energy of an underground scene born from chaos and anonymity. I dedicate this collection to those who inspired me to create it - to those who once believed in me, believe now, and never stop believing.

PREMIERE : Pleasure Voyage - Reunion

Paris-based friends and confidants CLAP42 and WTNS surface with a misty-eyed house track that feels tailor-made for the soft light of dawn. What started as a sampling exercise turned into a slow-burning, smile-inducing groove - equal parts cheeky and tender.

Behind the CLAP42 moniker is a Parisian producer and member of the Skylax crew. His knack for broken beats, soft-saturated synths, and intuitive sequencing gives the track its pulse. At the heart of it is WTNS’ voice - raspy, dreamy, and gently guiding each act. Nearly a decade ago, her first vocal demo “Persian Leaves” appeared quietly on SoundCloud: a raw sketch of a voice still taking shape, already carrying the emotional weight it now commands. 

Light on its feet but heavy with feeling, this is house music with a pulse and a wink - made for the end of the night, or maybe the start of something else.

The sky was alive with radiant colour and delicate visions. It was as if someone had opened a trapdoor amidst the clouds and we had been invited into another world within which wild light existed and ran delicately free. It was a beautiful sight, the flickering haze was so close yet so very, very far away. The cold chill which hung prominently in the air had been forgotten the minute the dazzling radiance had begun to appear. This was the aurora borealis, it was humble and kind. 

K Dallas is a member of the up and coming Regelbau crew whom have been on a run of prominent form as of late. He appears on a new compilation from Sitdownandance which focusses on the experimental fringes of electronic music.
