London's @zlatsmandj drops his much-anticipated new track 'My Luv' via his own label, @emergencyroom_music.

'My Luv' is an out-and-out club weapon, charged with chopped-up vocals and a deep, dark sub-bass, descending into chaos after a lengthy breakdown.

After a fantastic year of quality releases featuring the likes of Otik, Cameo Blush, Demuja, Nikki Nair and Ivy Lab, legendary Australian label Future Classic now closes its 2023 with a compilation consisting of its heaviest hitters from the past year.

“In my eyes, each of these artists represents the refreshing and exceptionally talented voices and producers emerging in modern dance music at the moment. It’s been a pleasure to work across each of these releases, and I am excited to welcome Memphis LK and Stones Taro to the fold, too!” - Andy Garvey 

Among its twelve tracks sit two fresh new remixes and an original from the emerging Japanese artist Stones Taro. The first remix is by Memphis LK, who reimagines Sycco’s pop-infused, vocal-laced breakbeat track ‘Ripple’ to an evocative garage number. She is then followed by a DJ Slugo remix of Martyn Bootyspoon’s ‘These Nike Shox’. The ghetto house pioneer imbues an already pumping track with juking, boundless grooves, amplifying it for the dance to great effect.

“I loved 'Ripple' as soon as I heard it, what jumped out to me particularly was how much colour and personality the main synth sound has. I had so much fun chopping and creating my own version of that sound. I wanted to create a dirty crunchy breakbeat version of the track that still kept the playful and emotional energy of the original.” - Memphis LK

Stones Taro then provides us with ‘Final Rule’, fusing raw bass, hypnotic vocal snippets and gorgeous melodic soundscapes into a potent, psychedelic dancefloor trip carefully laid over a garage shuffle. Following years of growing global talent like Flume, Flight Facilities, and the late SOPHIE, this compilation shows us a glimpse of Future Classic’s promising future in the club.

Potential Energy marks an impressive label debut from London-based producer, and former Brighton music student, Delano. Although relatively new on the block, his productions uphold a sense of maturity and complexity, evidenced by recent support on BBC Radio 1, 6Music, and Boiler Room.

Comprised of 4 original tracks the EP stays true to its namesake; conjuring future rave fantasies that play on the build and release of tension, encapsulated by elements of trance euphoria, progressive techno and explosive bass & breaks.

Re-imaginings of ‘Close 2 U’ - from fellow label mate Debba and Keep Hush’s scg - bring things to a slower, stripped back focus, rounding off the release on two distinct chug and acid tides.

“I’m always on the hunt for old records” Delano explains, “but for this project I wanted to do the opposite, try to create sounds that spark ideas of what the clubs of the future could sound like”.

Dancefloor moments and community have also played a major role in shaping the EP: “I think the majority of my inspiration comes from the people around me. I’m lucky to be surrounded by a lot of very talented creators who share the same goals and ideals”.

The latest instalment on @kaizenltd pays homage to '90s rave, UKG and breakbeat capturing the euphoria of the dancefloor, @debbauk's three-track heater, 'Just Wanna’.

Debba’s distinctive vocal chops are the dulcet tones of a rave-angel repeatedly singing "just wanna" on a skippy garage beat, cut up by a hypnotic, shimmering breakdown and the percussive pressure of post-dubstep.

@dyslecta steps up with ‘Woldsman001', marking the first instalment of a new self-released series exploring leftfield dancefloor sounds, lively bass tweaks and percussive club tools.

"Lynchpinn’ offers groove-laden 4x4 rhythms somewhere between classic Detroit and new-school techno," says the Yorkshire-born producer. "Its pulsating bass weaves throughout the track, offset by Jeff Mills-esque synth stabs to create an undulating dancefloor weapon."
