Seb Wildblood invites SOS Music co-founder Maddy Maia to mark her debut solo EP on All My Thoughts. An introspective record for the dance floor, fuelled by her journey through a challenging music industry. 

The London born / LA based DJ/producer, radio host, label owner, event curator and A&R has dedicated a decade to nourishing artists with a focus on female and gender minorities, elevating new talent through her mostly female DJ sets and radio shows on Worldwide FM & DUBLAB, and most notably of late via the SOS Music (Sisters Of Sound) imprint and curated events series of which she co-founded with DJ Tottie in 2019. ‘With U’ is a full circle story of a dedicated tastemaker reflecting on her contribution to the community.

Sonically, title track ‘With U’ is a nod to seminal oldskool genres that Maddy grew up on, breaks, drum n bass and rave. “I love that this element is back in dance music again!”she explains. ‘Fembot Fashion’ represents the music you’d expect to hear throughout a Maddy Maia DJ set; it's seductive and fresh. The EP doesn’t just represent Maddy’s sonic palette though, it’s a breakthrough in confidence and culmination of charged emotions. 

Maddy Maia - “After being behind the scenes for so long working in A&R - which has been a difficult journey at times - I’m finally feeling confident enough to put my own music out there . It was a very different landscape when I started my career in music. I was so scared of producing, thinking I needed loads of gear I couldn’t afford and spent a long time with imposter syndrome intimidated by the scene. All reinforced by the environment around me being fairly toxic in my early days working in music, a reason clearly driving my work with SOS Music. A lot of emotion has come out in these tracks. They’re my love letters to the dancefloor (dancing has always been intense therapy and probably one of the reasons I was drawn to club culture in the first place) but also the soundtrack to a charged snapshot in history. I made Fembot Fashion when we got the Roe vs. Wade news in the USA and at that moment all our work on championing diversity with SOS Music and throughout my time in the industry just suddenly felt pointless. I was so angry, and happened to have a weekend to myself so I sat in my little studio in East LA and channeled some of that fierce energy I was feeling into this track.

After 28 years, Paper Recordings is still releasing music with the same enthusiasm as those bushy tailed youths of the 90s. Deep house, disco and Balearic is the name of the game, with the label's never compromised stamp of quality running through it like a stick of Blackpool rock.

Volume 6 of the Paper Cuts compilation features releases from the summer of '21 to '22 with New Zealand, Norway, USA, South Africa, Mexico, Malaysia, Eastern Europe and of course the North of England all representing. All bangers with tracks to rock the party, the warm-up and the afters from the Paper family. 

Rave on.

Cobblestone Jazz’s B-side of Hip Waders is rather more classically arranged, and sprinkled with some live passes over the top. Does Yo Mama Know ups the tempo and rolls along on a broken, garage rhythm, before a sweet descending organ progression pulls the pulse into tighter focus. The title is in fact a nod to the Hollywood club that West Coast house pioneer Marques Wyatt did in the mid ‘90s - all about the music
and sound, no lights except for those of the 1200s, and a killer vibe.

KOALADEEP 2025: OUT 19.12.2025

Nae:Tek, Dominikanez - Internal World [Superordinate Dub Waves]

After the sucess of our last special white label release, we are excited to drop number 2!!

For this one, we have the always prolific Demuir who has graced Selections for the third time! This one hits DEEP!!

Demuir - Free (Incl. Oscar P Rework) - SELWL002

Juno Records Review:

Demuir is a firm part of the deep house world by now and always brings sounds that are as sophisticated as his alias suggests they should be. This time, he's heading up a new EP for Selections that opens with 'Free', a percussive sound with organic, live-sounding drums that are woody and funky with smooth vocals and pads up top. Oscar P reworks it with a heavier, house-driven low end but keeps some playfulness in the trumpets. 'Fate For Faith' is a warm and steamy mix of bongos and hard drums with muffled beats and cosmic synth rays that reach for the stars. A cuddly dub closes down what is a heartfelt and human EP.

Demuir - Free 

B2 - Fate For Faith (Dub)

Three impeccable pieces of stripped down, unfeigned tanz trax make out the debut release of Esther Silex – deejay extraordinaire, Colognian woman-about-town and very dear new addition to the Studio Barnhus family. The gargantuan yet free-flowing bassline of Hans, the menacing tension of Heinrich and the dawntime anthem Oskar all prove that Esther possesses that unique West German swagger which so often results in timeless art, presented with equal parts simplicity and beauty. 

Esther Silex - Hans (from the "Pachamama" 12'' - out Jan 2016 on Studio Barnhus)

New York collective "Sheik N Beik" follow up a slew of lauded 12”s from Japan’s Keita Sano, Legowelt & Xosar and their previous effort from Hermans with the richly emotive return of Voiski. With a back catalogue of considerable depth, one that’s touched the likes of L.I.E.S and Delsin, Dekmantel’s ‘UFO’ series, Voiski’s latest offering carries with it a trademark degree of bite whilst remaining balanced with the sort of moody melodicism that fans both old and new will relish.  
"5th Dolphin Transmission"kicks things off with a tense sequence tumbling through granular drums and a staggered, luminescent synth line. "Let Down Disco" here premiered then dims the lights slightly with soft, buoyant melodies and flickering high frequencies that round off a nicely varied release and another solid addition to the Sheik N Beik catalogue.
