Shadow Boxing

Miscommunication

Premiere: Arta Fact - Miscommunication [DEP05]

The room was full, swat dripped from the ceiling and the fans were on full power spinning and whirring doing everything in their power to lift the warmth, even just for a moment.

Outside the sun beat down heavy on the streets – there were few wanderers out and about. Instead they’d taken refuge in the bars and clubs nearby, looking to seek refuge from the baking sun. That didn’t mean that there was no fun to be had…

No, quite the opposite.

The music blasted loudly from the hand crafted old speakers, it banged and boomed as whoops and delirious cheers echoed from room to room. It were as if the sun was some kind of witchcraft…

Maxwell Simmons is set to release a new EP on Beat Machine Records – a raucous affair set to bang in small rooms and test soundsystems. This one is for the energy crew.

PREMIERE: Maxwell Simons - Well 1 [Beat Machine Records]

Birmingham-based artist Emily Jones, also known as Echo Juliet, releases her debut mini-album “Abandon Reality” on October 27th through her label, Invisible IDs.

________________________________________________________________________

Invisible IDs, a mystery to decode, Echo Juliet, with a Red Sun she rode, Through the cosmos, where the music flowed, A whimsical journey, down a creative road.

Invisible IDs, their secrets well-kept, Echo Juliet, never ceased to be adept, With beats and rhythms, she happily leapt, In a world of sound, where dreams were swept.

Red Sun painted skies in hues so bold, Echo Juliet’s melodies, a story to be told, Invisible IDs’ magic, a treasure to behold, A surreal symphony, in this tale of old.
____________________________________________________________________________________
 

Raised in Essex, Jones she transitioned from her classical training into the world of the electronic.  A journey, marked by self-doubt, led her to DJing and music production. “Abandon Reality” reflects her escape from societal issues, with tracks like “Red Sun” inspired by her childhood and concerns about climate change.

MORE INFO

PREMIERE: Echo Juliet - Red Sun [Invisible IDs]

Drip by drip, drop by drop - the cup began to bubble like some sort of wild cauldron. It was all illuminated by the hazy murky glow of the streetlights which were all seeing and all knowing as they looked down upon the corner with a wicked orange fog.

One sip and it were as if time was moving ever so slowly - the noises which echoed all around were no longer there and the city was silent and asleep for a moment.

Wandering step by step, through the sprawling mirage of streets, boarded up shutters and empty buildings were all that was left to guide him from place to place. Sometimes it was better to be lost than found, besides whenever he needed to find solace in something, there was a purple whirlpool nearby for that.

Astral Black celebrate ten strong years in the game with the release of a new compilation which features family favourites and good friends. Dj Milktray, Jossy Mitsu, Will Lister and more all feature on the new compilation called 'Frass FM VI'. This track from Sivey did the business for us...

PREMIERE: Sivey - Purple Whirlpool [Astral Black]

Alan Strani, in a tux so fancy, Danced the Apocalypso, feeling so chancy…

With I:Cube Remix, the rhythm did enhance, see,
In Bordello A Parigi, where dreams run free.

He twirled and he swirled, his moves so bizarre, Apocalypso madness, like a shooting star, I:Cube’s beats, like a wild electric guitar, In Bordello A Parigi, where no rules are.

The night went on, a surreal cabaret, Alan Strani’s dance, a wild display, Apocalypso and I:Cube’s sway, In Bordello A Parigi, where we all stray.
 
Alan Strani returns to Bordello with a remix package of his album title track ‘Apocalypso’ featuring I:Cube – which we’re premiering here + Lauer, In Flagranti and himself on remix duties.

PREMIERE: Alan Strani - Apocalypso (I:Cube Remix)Bordello A Parigi

Announcing their debut for R$N Records sub-label, Insult To Injury, Manchester based newcomer, Lapalace, has furnished us with an ambitious, divergent dance destroyer that touches on Ambient, Jungle & everything in between! We're thoroughly excited to have Thugwidow on remix duties too as we’ve been fans of his music for ages. He doesn’t disappoint, as he ‘breaks’ Ephemera into tiny pieces & rebuilds it in his own image. Make no mistake, this is a dance floor demolisher of the highest pedigree!

10 YEARS DANCING - YETI OUT 09.07.23 | VISLA FM

The noises were echoing and reverberating down the hall - it was dark as he moved slowly past each room glancing inside to see if they might be the source of the strange and mysterious sounds. There was a fog which lingered in the air and the floor was sticky beneath. This was the spot all right.

Shadows moved passed him in the corridor, dark faces illuminated only by the occasional flicker and flash of lights from somewhere up above.

This was the sort of place that his parents had warned him about, the sort of place which stank of trouble. Perhaps that was what he had been looking for all along...

DEEWEE is always a force to be reckoned with. Leftfield dance music drawing from a sprawling array of influences make up the tapestry of this unique and innovative record label.

PREMIERE: Phillipi - Hacido [DEEWEE]

The jeep moved quickly across the dirt terrain, the wheels squealed and whipped up the dirt from the old beaten track beneath. The roof was down as they whizzed through the jungle on either side, flashes and flurries of deep hazy green was all that could be seen – for in the wild undergrowth wild things lurked.

From time to time they’d catch a glimpse of the dense blue sky up above. The trees mostly overshadowed everything as they travelled.

Soon it would be darkness and the land would become as black as the night above.

Dj Marfox features on remix duties as part of an extensive package between Ouanounou and Gipsyan. This remix of ‘Carmy’ is wild and energetic, a raucous assortment of sirens, synths and bouncing percussion.

Stepping Out

PREMIERE: Ouanounou - Carmy (DJ Marfox Remix) [Monstart]

Wandering through the twilight, he looked up at the moon so very far away and wondered what it might be like to soar. He had always dreamt of careering through the clouds, beyond into the darkness so as to escape from the chaos and strife of the world down here below. It would be ever so magic.

He wondered what others would think of his wild, reckless fantasies. What would they think of his strange longing to leave it all behind? Would they think he was crazy or bewildered...

In the distance he saw a flyer framed in a shop window. It was illuminated by a faint, flickering glow.

'Are you psychic?' is what it read.

Same Songs, Different Room

PREMIERE: Michal Turtle - Are You Psychic? [Invisible Inc]

Beatrice M.'s two-track single reflects on the artist's journey from dubstep's contentious transformation into finding solace in a post-dubstep landscape. Acknowledging the genre's evolution, the EP explores the roots of dubstep while putting forward a new direction for the artist, blending technoid and dub influences.

PREMIERE: Beatrice M. - Call [Hundert]

The machines had been turned off. It had been many years since anyone had ventured into the old warehouse, there was only some slim hope that it might still even work. Once upon a time this place had been a paradise, a kingdom and a place in which revellers came to let loose and be free.

This was back in the old days, back when the dance was all innocent and little did we know about what might lurk around the corner. The bans, the trouble, the crime, the chaos.

Yet after all this time, the machinery was still here. The speakers, the towers, the noise. He wondered for a moment, dreamt even, whether they might still have the unction to function.

DJ ojo is back with another release, following on from the well received outing on Blank Mind, things get deep and introspective on a new EP which features odd electronics and dusty, moody sounds.
