Clap! Clap! - Kuj Yato (Gilles Peterson Premieres)

Out now on vinyl and digital release --> lnk.to/REKIDS103

Tuff City Kids provide three scintillating remixes of iconic Radio Slave tracks this May.

Since launching the project in the late ‘00s, Frankfurt’s Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer’s Tuff City Kids moniker has become synonymous with quality that’s seen them cement a reputation as specialist remixers. The duo now reinterprets two Radio Slave productions released a decade ago.

Their take on ‘Bell Clap Dance’ captures the essence of the original by factoring in its various elements, such as its intricate hook and gloomy melody, whilst morphing it into an animated and echoing contemporary cut. Radio Slave’s ‘Screaming Hands’ then receives two new versions; the ‘Dreamscape UK Mix’ is suitably titled thanks to soaring pads, subtle breaks and a mesmerising bassline, whereas the ‘Krautdrums Mix’ meanders forward with distorted kicks, stuttering effects and raucous acid.

No Fear

Slow and smooth build up with an intense but mellow peak that just goes on and on. It fills you with empathy and intense sensation heightening. SWIM smoked a joint halfway through and melted into the couch. It’s perfect for a rolling party with a group of friends, though SWIM imagines it would be great for a proper party too. Sometimes SWIM felt like dancing, but spent most of the time staring into space. This is really nice, intense, smooth and mellow. Get ahold of these if you get the chance!

Note: Your experience will vary depending on your settings. If you're in a bad place with bad people, you won’t feel a thing.

NY-based designer and musician Maxime Robillard, aka Love Letters, harnesses the power of rave energy on his 'Cast Off' EP via The Bunker NY, which includes the acid house anthem 'Servito 95'.

Throughout the 'Cast Off' EP Love Letters explores emotion on the dancefloor with ballads touching on classic house, deep acid, jacking rhythms and piercing cosmic textures. 

Robillard goes on to share the particular story behind this EP: “This EP was made after a major accident in my life. Two of the tracks were made with both arms in a cast, and in a way this can be listened to as a love letter to my connection with this kind of music, with the community I have found on the dance floor, and with particular sounds. It acts as a document of my gratitude that after the accident I am alive and well and can still enjoy the music and world that I’ve dedicated so much of myself to.”

The 'Cast Off' EP is set for release August 2.

OK. Back to the Limited Series for the 8th edition. Disclaimer: Do not dance in high heels. Banoffee Pies Records welcome another collection of talent with this 4 track drum exploration on BPLS008.

Jad & The joins the label on the A1 with a slow mo meditation full of warm pads and a string of broken beats on “X-Treme Drum”. The A2 comes from Lehults head chef, Lucky Charmz, with a 150bpm drum and bass inspired electro cut. Rolling low subs with a UK feel. Something different.

The B side invites Sid Quirk, who recently featured on BP009 under other alias Keppel, this time with his 88bpm haunting original vocals, packed between dark percussions and twisted soundscapes on “B_F L_R”, on the Hessle feel. Closing up the release, the B2 welcomes back Filip Szostak to the fold, this time bringing a drum heavy breakbeat DJ Tool that closes proceedings with energy and a suited transition for shifting moods on the dance floor.

PREMIERE: Lucky Charmz - Test Tubes

There was a strange, mysterious object which floated in the dense night sky. It flashed an electric green, illuminous and weird amidst a backdrop of delicate stars. It left a lot to the imagination - what was inside? Who was in flight? Were these creatures from the great beyond? It had been a long time since they'd last seen a UFO around these parts, not since the hot and heavy summer nights of the sixties. Then again, who knew what they'd seen way back then in the days of old. It was but a blur to him, a psychedelic haven of rage and madness.

A little while back we featured a mix from the ever playful musician and producer Your Planet Is Next. A Scandinavian superhero of sorts who has come to save the day from snobby enthusiasts and those who take life too seriously. He appears on a new split EP for Warning Records with a track called "UFO".

Last but not least, Noema's EP comes along with a mind-bending remix by our favorite Romanians Khidja.

The title track "Sky, Horse and Catch" translates a 90's Detroit House Groove to the present day and adds Cuica, Berimbau and several other Brazilian drums on top. Riding the complex groove, you encouter eccentric synths, mysterious soundscapes and of
course the horse on this 11 minute long hack. (...)

PRÈMIÉRE: Mathis Ruffing - Delusional Mandala [Strictly Strictly]

The air was thick with smoke, it filled his every breath as he ran through the burning woodland. With each step he took he grew more tired and became further overcome with emotion and a sense of loss. This was Mech's pain, something which only he could carry as he looked back upon a place that he had once called home. There was little left for it now but for smouldering ruins and a burnt out life. The machines had finally won, swallowed it all up and left a flaming deluge in their wake. 

Mathis Ruffing is set to release a new EP on Berlin based label strictly strictly, a forward thinking outlet which draws upon abstract experimentation and design of the future. Forward thinking and fast paced, the release is as rough and rugged as they come.

I thought it best to offer up a free track for you all in this crazy time! 

This track is one of my favourite soul discoveries of the last couple of years. Playing it on repeat eventually lead me to make this version of it - adapting it for club use in 2020!

Please go and listen to the original version. And if you like it, it has been reissued recently on 7" Vinyl !
