Veteran Bristol-based producer Chris Jarman a.k.a. Kamikaze Space Programme joins the TRUST family with a blistering EP of hard-edged bass music. Hot on the heels of his 'Concrete Musique' EP for Luke Slater's Mote Evolver imprint, 'Stokes Croft' showcases the bassier side of Jarman's distinct production style. 

'Stokes Croft' opens with none other than prolific Ninja Tune artist Emika as a guest, whose haunting vocals turn 'Choke' into an ear-catching hybrid of industrial bass electro and gothic pop. 'Clapper' follows this up with a percussive banger, perfectly encapsulating Jarman's artistic vision of crafting futuristic beats entirely from found and self-recorded sounds rather than worn and tired presets. It's a philosophy that does not rule out sublime melodic moments either, as 'Cel's drifting string and melancholic bleeps aptly demonstrate, while 'HSBC' closes the EP with a nod to the old-school, complementing jacking electro rhythms with squelchy acid lines and ghostly pads. 

Released parallel to TRUST's three-part 15-year anniversary series, TRUST XV, Kamikaze Space Programme's 'Stokes Croft' represents the rougher side of the TRUST sound - head-strong, futuristic, and ready to obliterate stylistic stagnation with sonic innovation.

Following on from the success of their debut LP 'La Belle Vie' from earlier this year, the French duo have been busy in the studio producing La Beat Tape. 20 tracks deep, the release is aimed squarely at the DJs, with a succession of guaranteed party-starters. This is rounded out with some typically quirky interludes, jazzy beat excursions and blissed out trip hop.
Souleance are producer Fulgeance (Musique Large / One Handed Music) and DJ Soulist (What The Funk Paris?). Since releasing their debut EP (Le Monde) back in 2009, they have built a solid reputation for their idiosyncratic take on modern beats. With fans including Gilles Peterson, Danny Breaks, Lefto and Mr Thing, their debut album was the culmination of 3 years of beat-making, touring, partying and drinking too much Pimms. Whilst other producers would rest on their laurels after releasing their debut, Souleance got straight back into the studio to produce La Beat Tape - their sole aim to create tracks that they would DJ with themselves. The result is 20 tracks of pure dancefloor fire peppered with a smattering of chilled, lounge tracks in classic Souleance style.
Like any classic beat tape, variety is the key, and Souleance do not disappoint. La Beat Tape takes in heavy Turkish breaks (Sauce Samourai), Hammond funk (L'insouleance), tripped out western cinematics (Tout Doux), brooding jazz (Kipseli Street Interlude), Shadow-esque breaks (Strongest Love), Just Blaze-style horn-heavy hip hop (Como Estan Bitches), 80s synth-hop (Cocktail Time) and much much more.
The release is available as a budget-priced download with a limited edition 7" containing four tracks that we feel will be most useful for the DJs. With artwork by long-term collaborator Alice Dufay, it's sure to join their previous vinyl releases as a genuine collectors item.

E se sons à solta e dispersos confluíssem num novo conceito musical, situado entre tantos lugares conhecidos, de onde se destacam a electrónica, o funk e até um certo stoner rock “esotérico”?

Alquimia Musical? Certamente! Este novo projeto de Lucas Palmeira substituiu a pauta por uma tabela periódica muito própria, onde cada música é uma poção secreta que ameaça rebentar e ser ouvida fora do tubo de ensaio.

Perigoso, oculto, objeto de olhares, crenças e rumores, não tentem reproduzir em casa. Por certo, faltar-vos-ia sempre um “Missing Link” para obter a fórmula da pedra filosofal deste músico / alquimista de Braga.
