"Runs so deep it puts your butt to sleep", to paraphrase actor/musician Ice Cube in his seminal hit It Was a Good Day. And it is a good day for lovers of high-grade house music.

Szikra is Kornél Kovács at his most wistfully nostalgic. Ultra-smooth keys offset by noisy lo-fi breakbeats and vocals urging you to git fucked up, like Metro Area caught up... in smoke!

All the trademark sounds of the Barnhus massive are present - off-kilter playfulness paired with the cocky swagger of a south Stockholm roughneck and an infectious pop sensibility that lingers in your head long after the needle hits the inner groove.

The so-called Bónusz Beat is actually a track in its own right, sacrificing most of the hook and the vocals for a dubby smackdown ripe for adventurous dancefloors.

Young Stockholm producer Abdulla Rashim closes out the set with a perfectly horizontal techno groove, using only elements from the original production.

Folamour - Mad King In My Own Kingdom

Existential doubt and fearful thoughts. A ridiculous situation one might never have perhaps imagined in which questions continuously bombard and entice reaction. The dance was very much in motion as the wrestler prepared to enter the ring. Friend or foe, the questions continued to surpass his emotional reasoning as he entered into a new dimension of perilous chaos. As he swam through the murky depths he began to see the finish line, the end was nigh. 

Marcin Krupa returns with another sun kissed assortment of melodic house and dance floor cuts on Astropical Tapes.

PREMIERE: Marcin Krupa - Questions [Astropical Tapes]

https://soundcloud.com/TheOtherPlanet's third release presents https://soundcloud.com/Worth-Way with a four track EP, inspired by his Australian adventures, packed full of poetry and accompanied by lo-fi accents and rhythms.

Just like the an unpopulated wilderness can at times feel 'other-worldly', "Signal's Weak" is anchored by an etherial chord sequence, which gyrates,  shimmers and stirs throughout the entirety of the track. The amalgamation of this, scuffling, swung, Lo-fi percussion and catchy-as-hell vocals, results in a summer jam which is as roastin' as the outback and one bound to light up dance floors a'plenty. Screw impartiality - this is one of our favourite features to date!

ირაკლი ჩარკვიანი - თბილისო(SvanSikh Cover)

Bush Pilot

The rocket travelled hastily through the midnight sky. Racing towards it's destination it must ensure that it was not traced by opposition radar, who knew that a mere tin can could maintain such responsibility? Faster than the speed of light, the frame of the shell glimmered under the glow of the starlight from up above. Soon to cause havoc and prosperity for nations divided by sea, it must not miss. 

Kess Kill is the brainchild of Rivet, to date it has released an array of off centre post punk and electronics. However, now the label draws upon the musical intuition of Swedish duo Grand Mal x.

KESS05

PREMIERE: Grand Mal x - Speed Of Light [Kess Kill]

The code was statistically problematic and prone to dangerous manipulation. As he toyed with the whirring machine he padded the buttons relentlessly: eight, zero, six, nine. He took a deep breath and tried once more, eight, zero, six, nine. He was beginning to lose his patience with the jilted machinery and soon he may well very have to do the unthinkable. Vandalism was not in his nature but a violent rage and a ticking clock had the capacity to change everything. 

400PPM is the moniker of the widely acclaimed, New York based producer, Shawn O'Sullivan. His new album on Avian sees him draw upon machine led inspiration.

Fit for Purpose

PREMIERE: 400PPM - 8.069 [Avian]

The climate within the glasshouse was murky and warm. The heat poured prominently through the long windows as the plants soared elegantly into the sunshine up above. On level ten, an environment was blossoming, one left untouched by man and machine. In this place nature would thrive and flourish for generations to come as the chimes echoed in the hollow space. 

Munro is set to release a new two track EP on XVI Records. Two truly wicked tracks packed with summer enthusiasm and vibes a plenty.

XVI017

PREMIERE: Munro - Environments Ten [XVI Records]

The capital was awash with beautiful people. They danced elegantly under the pale glow of the moon as the framework of great buildings loomed spectacularly overhead. In the distance the cries of the new year could be heard echoing through the park and she gazed out towards the exotic sprawl before her. The balcony was getting cold as the light continued to fade, but she feared little for the chill. She was warm at home now. 

Pont Neuf is a French record label operating out of the capital. They are set to release a new EP from Tour-Maurbourg in the coming weeks.

PREMIERE: Tour-Maubourg - La Plainte D'Aurore [Pont Neuf]

The keys melodically chimed in the empty church hall. In the corner of the suty room was a man composing a perfect harmony upon a delicate piano. He plucked and prodded the instrument so intricately it were as if he were a part of the very notes himself. The light hung low outside as he closed the old wooden doors behind him and walked into the open courtyard. People were gathered by coffee shops and bars, merrily passing the time as the day fell to a close. 

Komon & Will Saul collaborate on the much loved Aus Music record label, owned by Saul himself. The pair also bring in the big guns on remix duties with Nick Hoppner and Juju & Jordash stepping up.

RC01 - Various Artists

Time To Sleep

He looked down upon the crystal clear water and yet saw little but black. He had been hoping that he might perhaps spot a glance of his reflection or a glimmer of hope beneath the deep blue but there was little to live beyond the depths. The boat sailed carelessly forwards through the night: beaten and bashed by the waves the storm must now be at its terrible worst. He kneeled down, looked up to the dirty clouds up above and said his last words before the sun presented itself once more. 

Worth Way is set to release a new four track EP on The Other Planet. Deep, heady house with a soulful edge and a twist of heart.

PREMIERE: Worth Way - Must Be [The Other Planet]
