Gecko - Just close your eyes (1998)

After his critically acclaimed album for 3024 Leon Vynehall makes his debut on the Clone Royal Oak Series. The already much anticipated track 'Butterflies' graces the a-side. A beautifully crafted piano laden house track. On the flip the equally wonderful 'This is the Place'. Subtile but heavy percussion laced with fragments of samples.

The Key (feat. Kelis)

House legend and Rinse FM resident Shadow Child has teamed up with Doorly on new single ‘Climbing (Piano Weapon)’, which is now available to stream on Soundcloud. Following a premiere on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show, the new vocal version of 'Piano Weapon' (co-written by MNEK) will be released by Polydor Records this November. Following a run of remixes for big names such as Hot Natured, London Grammar and most recently Duke Dumont, Shadow Child is currently working on original material and playing a run of live dates in Ibiza and across the UK including a London show supporting the legendary Groove Armada.
 
Simon Neale’s darker, bass-heavy alter ego Shadow Child was born in 2012 with the signing of his bassline house classic ‘String Thing’ to Dirtybird Records. Championed across the world by DJs including Annie Mac, Jamie Jones and Eats Everything, Shadow Child’s early house tracks have attracted a global fan base. Now playing the closing shows on his Summer 2014 tour, Shadow Child will be hitting the studio to complete his debut full-length release. Until then, head to Soundcloud to stream ‘Piano Weapon’ and get stuck into his Rinse FM guest mix series featuring the biggest names in UK house.

No Return Vol 1 - RTTD010 - Snippets

Big Crown is proud the present the debut single from the one of the newest acts on the roster; Brainstory. Brainstory is a tale of brothers bounded by blood, by fate, and a small town with nothing to do. Born and bred in Rialto, CA, the trio is made up of two brothers, Kevin & Tony Martin, and drummer Eric Hagstrom. Their music is a mix of jazz, funk, and psyche- delia shrouded in a cloud of weed smoke and California soul. Their entire debut album is produced by Leon Michels, so you take the Cali sunshine and mix it with Michels NYC aesthetic and you get a killer record. Here’s the first two songs.
The A side “Dead End” is a sublime slow burner about trying to let go of a person and trying to let go of parts of yourself that are dying with that relationship. In the words of Kevin, “ It’s kind of like confronting death, but through relationships and coming to terms with who you are in the mirror of another person.” With Kevin’s sublime falsetto floating atop Tony and Eric’s unflappable and unmistakable backbeat, this tune is sure to become a favorite with the ballad heads, the low-rid- ers, the slowie collectors, and anyone who’s cord is not unplugged.
The B side Mnemophobia is a fateful pairing with the plug- side, as if written later on when the heart heals and you start to get out there again. Mnemophobia is the fear of memories. Brainstory weaves up a tale of hesitation, limbo, then bravery where the choice of love is made in the face of fear.

Fantastic Twins - Lost In Germany EP

A1) Why Are You Here? - 8.04
A2) Wrong Place Wrong Time Wrong People - 8.15

B1) Fur Stunden Lang - 7.42

The fourth AF Trax release is a three track EP from our long time ally The Fantastic Twins, who has the following to say about her EP - 

This EP is a small collection of works I crafted over the past couple of years in the process of working on my live show. I have been performing versions of these tracks countless times and yet never played them twice the same way. To me, they have been material in constant motion, so shaping them into a “finished” form was a risky challenge. Something I was also wary of - would it mean they would become set in stone? Would it mean I’d have to somehow “rationalise" the music - via the mind - as opposed to letting it run into the wildness of its physical live experiences? 

Whilst editing these tracks into a format that could be released, I realised that instead of shaping them into the mould my mind first intended to give them, I could in fact use the power they revealed each time I performed them to an audience and inject some of that energy - as much as it is possible to capture and recreate it in the studio - back into this EP. Then of course, it meant letting go on things I usually like to control more, and better. 

But isn’t it the power of music to let it take you where you didn’t plan to go? And how incomplete would the music be if our inspiration didn’t feed off the collective experience of dancing to music together? I’ve lost myself (and my twins) many times throughout the process - not only on German soil - I have sometimes landed in the wrong place, but I may have found one answer yet in the form of another question. Why are we here if we can’t dance?

That reminds me of the words of Pina Bausch “Dance, dance or we are lost”. Lost in our internal struggles as individuals (or imaginary twins). Lost in a society where our relation to the other is often marked by fear, power or violence. We feel the need to resist. Yet nowadays, taking a political stance as an artist is too often being instrumentalised as another tactics or accessory to gather more popularity, reducing the political message to nothing else but a branding attempt. Isn’t it anyway the power of capitalism to assimilate everything, even contradictory or once-upon-a-time subversive voices? All to end up on a “Rave” or “Feminist” H&M t-shirt. Slogans that have been emptied of their initial force and substance, now replaced by their commercial value. I strongly doubt that more empty words poured in vain on social media will help us much. But, like Pina Bausch, like JD Twitch, I have always firmly believed in dancing as a physical, social and fundamental act that leads us to share a common space with others and embrace otherness. Standing together, dancing together when everything else forces us to divide. 

May the music on this EP be, I hope, a possible answer to its own title.

Captain S.T’s retreat to solitary introspection. Kent sparkles with pollution, a wind turbine sparks a spiritual apparition of optimism. She resolves to find The Upper World, but not alone…

This track was released as part of a double sided single on April 20th 2019 across all major digital platforms - http://smarturl.it/burningzip

LYRICS
Kent sparkles with pollution
I dream of living there
The wind turbines they gesture
Come home to where it's fair

Where flowers bloom in circuits 
And life's desexualised
There's hope across the Thames
You just have to arrive

Perhaps I'm the bad trip and you let me in

Hair dye, blu tack, techno, whiteboard, full-body fishnet, dishes in the sink
Solutions on the ceiling 
Hair dye, blu tack, techno, whiteboard, fish-body, full-net, put it in the sink
Solutions on the ceiling

Limp skin, clothes rail
Don't know where it happened and I don't know where to start
Seagulls make their choices 
I see them through the glass
Rub anger on the wall
Go home and buy a plant
Multivitamin back to health 

Freckles float in panic 
Your body will shut down
Good intentions elevate my skin
Foreign with the price of goodbye 

Freckles float in panic
Your body will shut down
Good intentions elevate my skin
Foreign with the price of good-

Bye a plant and take it on the tube
Cry until the toilet roll is through
Someone calls out:
I like your plant 
Me too
Dishes and leaves make acquaintance
The flat runs out of toilet roll

My friends draw on my legs in sharpie pen
I wake up and cannot get out of bed
Water runs grey in the shower
Water runs grey
Solutions on the ceiling

It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning
It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning 
It's hard to operate a zip when you're burning

My God looks just like yours I see it in the mirror hear a voice it's coming closer near and ripe with choice so nevermind the fish they may explode and kill my love looks just like God I feel it in the fish they kill with cause it's delicately done just like a birth so nothing will be lost except but then of course my art looks just like love I touch it with a fish and it explodes so nevermind the mystery of the curse it's only worth a song
