A1. Garrett David - Loop Soup

Cyclonix, the brainchild of John Wilcox, returns with his fourth electrifying release on the Ascii Trax label. The "Ju Ju Groove EP," set to drop on June 28th, 2025, promises to be a milestone in the realm of broken beat, house, and bass music. 

Following the success of his earlier two-track releases, Cyclonix has garnered widespread support from Djs, including Jamz Supernova, Afronaut, IG Culture, Alexander Nut, Robert Luis, Sentinel 793, Red Rack’em, EVM128, Beane Noodler (Noodle Hotpot Radioshow), Dubmission Radio Show, and Basic Soul Radioshow, among others.

PREMIERE: Cyclonix - Ju Ju Feel

The sounds that have emanated from little London-based house label, LB Produce, thus far have been modest, occulted by the label’s own mystery (only a mere 100 or so know of their existence, so it seems), yet they never fail to set proverbial fire to the dancefloor.

The helm is now overtaken by Ron Obvious – when not being played by Terry Jones in Monty Python – for the vinyl-only imprint’s third release: a four-track EP of sweltering house tracks, all equally as dark and recondite in nature. The highlight here is “I Keep Down”. With a vocal snippet, heavy on the reverb, opening the track with a blasé “My name is Ron Obvious”, gradual MIDI layering of tinny hi-hats and kaleidoscopic synthesiser melodies, the track pays clear homage to the distinctive timbres of mid-1980s Chicago and Detroit in their most orthodox forms. A considerable feat, achieved by Obvious both convincingly and respectfully.

The Group Mind EP is out now. Buy it in its full glory here.

“If there's one tune which sums up ESG's enduring lust for life, it's the beautifully-judged Black Flag/early techno crossover of the closing 'Gimme A Blast'.” Ben Thompson, The Guardian 5/5
 
“This album's every percussive aspect has been honed to impart the maximum amount of pleasure.” The Observer
 
“Despite their influence on younger bands (you can hear LCD Soundsystem's knobbly grooves on ‘Insane’), ESG still sound like nothing else.” The Guardian
 
“An astonishingly primal album.” Uncut

It feels like someone left the light on in the studio and it all just ran itself, there had been a funky human input earlier in the day but, by a Darwinian machine-led kind of osmosis, the tracks recorded spent the wee small hours self-reducing and simplifying themselves. Marinated in music.
 
“I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil,” said Truman Capote. ”Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” opined Leonardo da Vinci much earlier in proceedings. Yes, it’s the space around the object, what you leave out that makes what you leave in so important. ESG know this. Sure they can play the game but it’s the swagger of the groove and the minimal topping – like an anti-cup cake – that makes this unique New York sisterhood so appealing on ‘Keep On Moving’.
 
Sampled on TV ads, lauded by critics and swooned over on the dancefloor, ESG’s post-punk took out the grunge and polished the basics. Cut them open and “less is more” is written all the way through.
 
‘Keep On Moving’ was released just over ten years ago to much praise (Q said it was “even better” than 2002’s much loved ‘Step Off’). ESG had been sparring partners for PiL and early hip hop and four years after the ‘Off’, they were onto something new – rhythm as core, reflective storylines about relationship management, sensuality and insanity gather around the bass fix but they’re much blurrier than the incessant beats. Inadvertently they unmask techno and glitch and leave out any kind of superfluous fluff. It’s hard and temple throbbing. Turn it up. And keep moving.

Sean Dimitrie and Tim Fuller - So Hot (Swag Remix) [Odori, 2004]

Born in Minnesota, Fuller has resided in California,Seattle, Vancouver, the Turks and Caicos Islands and New York City. He started singing in church choirs as a child,
and went on to study classical piano during his teenage years. Simultaneously,
Tim began to play the drums and over a period of seven years,
developed into a very skilled percussionist. Once he pursued a post-secondary degree in vocal jazz at Vancouver Community College in British
Columbia, success as a musician came almost immediately.
In the early stages of his career, Fuller had a record deal with his funk/R&B outfit
Vote of Confidence, known to fans as VOC. Since then, Tim has fronted several
successful bands, performing funk, soul and R&B, though he’s best known
across the West Coast for steaming up the stage as lead vocalist for the live
funk band ‘Soulstream’, which holds a longstanding residency at Vancouver hot
spot Bar None. Meanwhile, Jazz aficionados, will recognize Fuller as a member
of vocal quartet ‘The Melloyds”, which over period of seven years, recorded two
albums, toured internationally for A&M Records, performed for the King and Queen of England,Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana,and many provincial,federal and international dignitaries.
While greatly inspired by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield and
fellow Minnesota native Prince, once turned on to the work of Frankie Knuckles,Inner City,
Tony Humphries and Massive Attack, Tim set his sights on house music to bed his writing and singing
abilities. Making use of the influences he acquired throughout his career and bringing
them into the studio, Fuller teamed up with Vancouver producers DJ Ali and
Sean Dimitrie to great effect. Their varied backgrounds and talents resulted
in a fresh new sound, giving house an equally raw, sophisticated and funky edge.
Ali and Dimitrie’s ”disco dubbed techno” paired with Fuller’s soul drenched style
began making motions on charts and dance floors alike.First out of the gate came the beguiling,infectious,underground classic",U DON'T KNOW";this track seems to have a life of its own,residing on numerous compilations,(A CLASSIC DECADE-TEN YEARS OF THE CLASSIC MUSIC COMPANY,GROOVE ARMADA-ESSENTIAL SUMMER GROOVE,etc.)and remixed by house legend Jacob London and most recently, Matt Tolfrey;Next came "The Release"on Manali;then "Show You Right",another Manali imprint that still continues to attract new converts,with sick remixes first from super funky Llorca, then later on, the brilliant SPIRIT CATCHERS.Party favourite,"GO"on Bombay followed;then the sexy, saucy,"SO HOT"on Odori.In 2006 Fuller released his first full length album"THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH"on BOMBAY RECORDS;Co- produced and Co- with Sean Dimitrie,with contributions from DJ ALI and NAV BHINDER.the album spawned a double remix package;Chuck Love,Miguel Graca,Fred Everything,Chicken Lips,Spirit Catchers and Ilya Rudman all made incredibly inspired appearances.The title track"SLIGHTEST TOUCH" remixed by the fabulous"CHICKEN LIPS" was huge in the UK and a fav of BBC-ONE.
Fuller and Dimitrie soon embarked on delivering their live show to venues all over the world,rocking delirious house heads from Seoul to Miami with vocal improv and live production wizardry. The previous works attracted the attention of some world class dj's and producers;one of them being west coast house king MIGUEL MIGS.Fuller co wrote 3 tracks with Migs for the monster "THOSE THINGS"album(SOMETIME,CANT GET THRU,BODY NEVER LIES)and toured North America with Migs and Lisa Shaw.Fuller then became a member of "PETALPUSHER"a Miguel Migs live project,with Shaw and a stable of 8 extremely gifted and inspiring musicians.Another tour followed,leaving happy audiences in its wake.Soon after Fuller got a call from GROOVE ARMADA-one of his heroes.He soon found out why.Even though only a small appearance on SOUND BOY ROCK resulted from the sessions, Fuller gained incredible knowledge and inspiration after being locked away with house genius ANDY CATO.IAN POOLEY soon came calling;Fuller co wrote a track with Pooley (WHAT I GOT)for his release "IN OTHER WORDS"-with a remix provided by the legend DERRICK CARTER.
Then came the track called"STAY"
Co written on a cold Montreal afternoon,Fuller and Fred Everything created an old school banger,destined for Everything's album,"LOST TOGETHER".The track was a
single with remixes from LAWN CHAIR GENERALS,DOZA,AND HOME AND GARDEN.It was one of the TOP TRACKS FOR MONTHS on multiple charts,including BEATPORT,AND found a home on numerous compilations and club mixes.
As of late,Fuller has continued to pad his discography- Sacha Dive released a Dimitrie/Fuller creation,"CAUGHT"(a naughty tale of witnessed inhibition) on his label DEEP VIBES;a collaboration with Aussie house kings RANDOM SOUL(aka YOGI AND HUSKY)resulted in the track" LET LOVE FLY " with remixes by DUTCHICAN
SOUL,RANDOM SOUL,and SEAN DIMITRIE.
While this introduction to one of Canada’s most in demand singer/songwriters comes seemingly late, Fuller’s unique vocal style, musical ability and stage presence break down walls and infuse dance music with a new warmth and
humanity. Vancouver’s Tim Fuller is on track to become one of music’s next
great, multi- genre performers.
