Edits Volume 2

Mahalia - Do Not Disturb (Ode to BKay re-lick)

Spun Out Agency have rallied up their talented roster for a compilation dedicated to the sorely missed Andrew Weatherall, who was part of the agency for almost two decades. The title is also a tip of the hat to the Guv’nor. More of that Frightful Oompty Boompty Music showcases the acid, techno and house sounds at the core of the roster, which Andrew would have described as "oopmty-boompty" music.

Made up of 18 tracks, with eight of the tracks also released as a two-part vinyl package, the compilation features music from Paranoid London, Fantastic Twins, Mehmet Aslan, Autarkic, Ruf Dug, Sean Johnston, and Manfredas, among many others.

Spun Out is a London-based artist booking agency, run by Caroline Hayes for over 20 years. She looks after a roster of DJs that like to colour outside the lines, including Optimo (Espacio), Ivan Smagghe, Josh Caffe, Man Power, Body Hammer and Ellie Stokes.

PREMIERE: Fantastic Twins - Kali's Tongue Was a Weapon [Spun Out Agency]

'Galore' from @oklou93 has been an earworm of a project that has been on regular rotation for me since she dropped it in 2020- I've always wanted to try my hand at remixing something but could never come up with an idea when she first put the stems out but a week ago I got super inspired by music for the first time in a while and this came out of it!

Free download on bandcamp in the buy link, but also if you feel like paying what you want I will be donating all the proceeds from this remix towards National Network of Abortion Funds' donation page which splits donations between over 80 grassroots abortion funds in different areas that help ensure safe access to abortion and critical resources for people who need them, you can read more about them on their website https://abortionfunds.org/ or donate yourself via https://secure.actblue.com/donate/fundabortionnow 

Thanks for listening and reading :)

oklou - another night (onlytom remix)

Like a movie scene or a dream he couldn't wake from, he passed flashing lights at warp speed with no sense of direction. An experience reminiscent of a nostalgic 90s music video, with faded colours and bodies moving in ways we'd never seen before; all of this stimulated by a simplistic sound, one that’s fascinating, one that transports you back in time to those retro ‘MTV Top 20 Dance Tracks’ TV shows that seemed to play over and over and over again...

Your Planet Is Next is no stranger to making minimalist, low-bit remakes of huge classics. They’re bold, dry and stripped back covers that place you in some sort of hypnotic trance. Having already put his own spin on the likes of ‘Believe’ by Cher and ‘Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others’ by The Smiths, he now takes on Snap!'s 1992 dance hit 'Rhythm is a Dancer' as part of Warning's annual 7" outing. It's a noticeable contrast to the original; equal parts melancholic and energetic, the track weaves together pitched-up vocals, clean synth stabs and grooving synth melodies, while on the flip Warning family member Jotel California provides an electro breaks version of Grauzone's Eisbær.

PREMIERE: Your Planet Is Next - Rhythm Is A Dancer [Warning]

Every morning without fail, just as dawn broke, a small boat would appear at the waters edge to whisk the most curious of people off to an unknown destination. The boat only ever returned empty, slowly it traced its routine daily journey back and forth across the calm waters. Rumours had long circulated about where those who boarded the vessel disembarked; some said it led to a utopian island, others attested to it taking people to their final resting place. Only those willing to take the risk would find out.

Aldonna's music is perfectly tuned for late nights on the floor; think of sweaty rooms filled with energetic dancers. The Melbourne producer came up through the ranks in the city with her party series Re-Leaf and is now expanding her name across the pond with her bright, supercharged productions. Her debut EP Morph, which comes with remixes from Alex Kassian and Marli, lets us into some of the influences that fuel her as a DJ, taking us on a nostalgic ride through warm proggy trance, euphoric rave and acid-laced breaks.

Morph EP

PREMIERE: Aldonna - The Empress' Acid Line (Alex Kassian Remix) [Homage]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/saigg
Track: Aytoking
Label: https://soundcloud.com/perlaslabel
Format: 12" Hand Stamped Vinyl, Digital EP
Release date: 25/09/22
YouTube: https://youtu.be/MRn8sJqhtpk

Perlas presents the second album of the Gemas series, where Zhafiro is presented, who represents Saigg with a great Lp that demonstrates his entire history through a futuristic electro sound, expanding the accelerated and deep frequency range. Going through several very versatile styles.

PREMIERE | Saigg - Aytoking [Perlas] 2022

The highly-anticipated second release from Troubleshoot comes from long-time friend of the London-based label, @scaefa, who has been steadily rising through the ranks of the UK electronic music scene for some time. The Reading born and raised artist has had previous releases on heavyweight labels such as La Bonne Musique and Draconian Audio, and radio play on revered stations including BBC Radio 1, certifying him as one to watch for the future.

The four-track EP – set to arrive on September 16th – showcases a unique variation of sounds, from bass-forward breakbeats to pounding melodic trance, Scaefa’s eclectic and wide-ranging music taste is present from beginning to end in Dream Stealer.

The record starts with title track “Dream Stealer”, rolling out big beats, heavy bass, and bouncing leads, paired with layers of lush pads and ambient chords. “Fault Line” is an uptempo, electro influenced track with emotionally charged, pulsating strings running throughout, along with metallic drums, rumbling bassline, syncopated synths and melodies floating in the spaces between to create a truly atmospheric experience. “Mythos” is a groovier, techno track that takes cues from the heavily percussive electronic music which renowned artists like Call Super and Pearson Sound have become known for in recent years.

To close, “Overflow” is a euphoric trance banger with ravey stabs, techy percussive elements and anthemic drops built for big room clubs and festival stages which Scaefa’s releases have become synonymous with.

TRBLSHT002 | Scaefa - Dream Stealer EP

Fantastic Man has become one of the most exciting and revered producers on the circuit having released music on the likes of Mule, Love on the Rocks and Kitjen. He is also the founder of Superconscious Records alongside Griffin James.

As a DJ his musical taste is broad and wide ranging, drawing upon far reaching influences from the realm of House, Trance, Downtempo, Balearic and beyond. As such you never quite know what you are going to get but that's all part of the fun right?

Most recently he has been dabbling in a fast paced, new age approach to House and Trance - channeling the free spirited energy of the 90's and a sun kissed era for dance music.

Some might feel it to be nostalgic but he is very much at the forefront of a new wave of producers and DJ's looking to breathe life into and reinvigorate the sound.

This mixtape is one of the best we've heard in a while and is rightly suited to a Friday.

Dream Stealer

PREMIERE: Scaefa - Mythos

The phone rang and rang but nobody was home to pick up. They’d all abandoned this place a long time ago, for why would they stay to manage the trials and tribulations of wild callers in the middle of the night.

Never again would they return to the fault line, the red phone could buzz until the heavens called them home for all they cared.

Once upon a time they’d had to work here, answering the questions and complaints of the rich and the oppressive – not any more. The dial tone was all that was left for them now…

Scaefa is set to release a fast paced, synth driven EP on Troubleshoot. This track is a fiery, melodic, synth driven cut ready for loud soundsystems and big rooms. Energetic, euphoric and magnetic sounds at their best.

PREMIERE : Scaefa - Overflow

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/pardonnez-nous
Track: Trace magazine
Label: https://soundcloud.com/karakter-records
Format: Digital EP
Release date: 23/09/22
YouTube: https://youtu.be/eaqA00ELJsU

The Parisian collective, label and party instigators Pardonnez-nous is composed of five Parisian DJs coming from different and complementary musical universes.
Apologising upfront for being free, unsubmissive and their lack of style, genre or etiquette, Pardonnez-Nous delivers a one-way trip infused with urgency and a night vibe. Three tracks cobbled together with the energy of past and future eras: machines, beers, cigarettes, flashes, imperfections and the human as an extension. Sexy, unconcerned, acid, wild and dreamlike, their first release is a nasty mix from which would emerge the recipe for the perfect after-party, a long-lasting night, and an endless journey.

Somewhere amongst the shadows cast by the long 90’s (Ed) Solo & (Rowan/ Breeder ) Blades came together this spring for a heavyweight remix of Lennie De Ice’s ‘ We Are IE’, leading to some protracted summer bass bin rattling.

Since a couple of years there has been a lot of data transfer between the thief and the rat.
After the first bytes got exchanged, it was clear they speak the same code: Communication on the basis of rhythmic structure! After some interferences and transmission drop- outs, we can finally announce the transfer is complete and will materialize in form of a 12“ vinyl record. Data Theft is a six piece strong selection of Rhythm Beat Master ship. It will be difficult to find more bang for the buck anywhere else. You can now own this magnum opus that is Rat Life Records 20th release!

Keita Sano from Okayama is back on Row Records with a new 5 track EP.
Reminiscent of his 'Bowl Of Water’ EP in 2015, which marked the label's first release, his latest work fits perfectly with Row’s catalog. Here, roughness meets rhythmic clarity to ignite the dancefloor.
Included is a bangin' remix by Dayzero who has just released two EPs on  Zam Zam and Livity Sound.

London’s La bonne musique welcomes label veteran Scaefa for his latest release, for a 2 track euphoric, club-ready EP, inspired by the darker and more downtempo side of jungle, drum & bass, acid house and rave.

“Trying to find an intersection between the classic sounds of labels like Metalheadz, and the driving trance and techno influences of labels like Neptune Discs felt like an exciting area to explore. They’re definitely intended for the club - I wanted to make sure they were upfront and in your face, whilst still having plenty of atmosphere, nostalgia and delicate moments weaved in too. It was fun to take pieces from various moments of dance music history and try to turn those into something new.” - Scaefa


PREMIERE : Scaefa - Responsible

The dim glow cast a hazy flourish of light across the early morning sky. Soon it would fall beneath the surface of sight and the soft moon would vanish into the warm blue of daylight. In the greenhouse the flowers began to blossom and awaken beneath the first hint of the morning glow. The glass flickered beneath the glimmering beams and the murky green shadows within were illuminated and set alight. The rest of the park was quiet and still as the day broke. The night was gone. 

Coastdream is set to release a debut EP on X-Kalay who have consistently released music of supreme quality. This one is a sun kissed, summer ready house track with sublime form.
