tunes 2

A long awaited and highly anticipated album from Manix.  A return to the original sound of Hardcore/Jungle Rave from one of the leading producers on Reinforced Records. Produced by Marc Mac of 4hero, this 10 track album is full of the same energy and style that made Manix one of the DJs and Ravers favourite artist from the rave era.
Packed with all new original fresh tunes but still sounding like a lost recording from 1993, anthemic pianos, big bass lines and breaks...it's time to dust off your dancing shoes.

A picture disc limited to 300 only will be available for collectors, half sold in 24 hours on Bandcamp, more will be made available through selected outlets on release date.

Limited CD Digipak available for pre-order on Bandcamp now.

Since his first sell out 12's 'If U Want Me' and 'U Cheated' over a year ago, Deadboy has been busy DJing and developing his productions through remixes for the likes of Jamie Woon, Drake and Cassie - with Drake even recently proclaiming ‘Deadboy is ill’ in a radio interview (see the Firework's slo mo-house edit for why even Drake haters can't argue).

Of course on HERE there's Deadboy's trademark heartaching vocal fragments, consuming bass warmth and skipping percussion but there's a further development on his much imitated style.

1 - Wish U Were Here
2 - Here 4 U
3 - Aint Gonna Lie

A-side track 'Wish U Were Here' draws inspiration his collection of disco and house during it's epic 9 minutes - shifting, gliding synths, ecstasy-fueled breakdowns and a rolling groove that begs to be listened to.

Deadboy - HERE (Preview)

J Fogel aka Stray made his first appearance on Exit Records in 2011 with the musically rich masterpiece 'Pushed' which featured on the Mosaic Vol 1 mixed artists LP and was a great insight into his production ability and an indication that he was a talent about to flourish. His second outing on Exit was the mighty 'LA Zoom' on Mosaic Vol 2 which was one of the most anticipated tracks on the album and set the tone for many of his current productions with the fusion of footwork, jungle and dnb foundations.

The 'Matchsticks' EP is his first full release on Exit and comes in the form of a four track 12" with heavy support from DJs such as  Giles Peterson, Mark Pritchard, Om Unit, Machine Drum Alix Perex, Annie Mac, Lenzman and dBridge amongst many more.  Picking up from where 'LA Zoom' left off we stay in the same vein with 'Prof Popper' 'Dropping Bombs' and his collab with Fracture on 'Bounce That'. All of which are loaded with energy and have been going off in DJ sets across the globe over the last few months. The title track 'Matchsticks' is a Dillaesque hip hop Instrumental which again shows us that Stray's musical ambition is certainly not limited to any fixed style and rounds off the EP nicely.

BICEP | SATISFY (BRASSICA REMIX)

Locked Groove marks his return to Hotflush with the grandiose, puzzlingly-titled "Enigma". It's a colossal record whose bass-centric melody looms large. Large enough, even, to inspire what is nowadays a rare Scuba remix. 

A counterpoint to these theatrics comes in the way of 'Wandering In A Cage', a broken-beat creeper flaunting the Belgian's ear for subtlety, and two beatdown versions of the title track that fit neatly into your DJ toolbox.


Available on Beatport: November 10th 2014

1. Enigma
2. Wandering In A Cage

                                                               Autonomous Africa Volume 2

                                                              ---------------------------


This is the second Autonomous Africa EP, the idea being that one EP is released each year and all proceeds are donated to a charity in Africa. Last year's first volume raised funds for Médecins Sans Frontières operations in Africa. This release will raise funds for the Mtandika Mission in Tanzania (more info on that below). Through speaking with Midland, i found out that he grew up in Tanzania and that his parents ran the aforementioned charity so I suggested that this release aimed to contribute to that. Midland and Auntie Flo (who also contributed to the first edition of this project) both kindly donated exclusive tracks.

The tracks are 

A1) Midland - Checkbob
A2) JD Twitch - Olaiya

B1) Auntie Flo - Water of Life
B2 JD Twitch - JuJu

                                                                         --------


Why Autonomous Africa?

----------------------


Many of the problems Africa faces are a result of outside interference by other countries, and as the 21st century progresses we will see the continued pillage of African resources to feed the global capitalist machine on an unprecedented scale. Corrupt and greedy regimes gladly sell their land and mineral wealth to finance their own extravagant lifestyles while the vast majority of ordinary people see little or no improvement in their own lives. An autonomous Africa run by the people for the people, where African land is predominantly used to feed African people and Africa's vast wealth of resources is used to benefit the people of Africa seems the only logical way forward. Autonomous Africa's goal is to highlight this message and here presents to you 4 tracks of African inspired grooves.


We fully realise a small run, independently released 12" is going to make very little difference to the world, but doing something has to be better than doing nothing. The idea of an autonomous Africa may be naive and unrealistic, but at some point the world we live in will have to change or future generations are going to be left with very little as we consume way more than our fair share. We have collectively buried our heads in the sand thinking we are powerless to engender change. Individually we have little power but collectively, the power is ours.

About The Mtandika Mission
--------------------------

Mtandika is a large village in the dry Ruaha river valley, 400km west of Dar es Salaam. It is a very poor village.

One of the prime movers in the village is Sister Barberina Mhagala. Since she retired from being Headmistress of the Primary School in 2005, Sister Barberina has been developing a Trade School at Mtandika to provide skills training for girls who are either orphans or have no fees for secondary education. She started by building a classroom and dormitory for the Trade School girls who were given sewing lessons and learning to make garments to sell.

Because many of the children do not have homes locally, accommodation is critical. So Sister then built extra accommodation blocks, not only for some of the girls attending the Trade School but also for some 80 girls attending the local Lukosi Secondary School where there was no accommodation.

The girls are taught to be as self sufficient as possible and as well and grow their own food and rear animals in the school grounds.

Water supply is critical, as water is not only required for every day purposes at the school but for irrigating the shambas [allotments]. Water is currently pumped from the nearby perennial Lukosi river some 500 metres away using a petrol pump. Investigations into a cheaper alternative are being investigated.

Education is essential if Tanzania is to fully develop its full potential and anything is possible given the opportunity. As well as supporting Sister Barberina in her capital expenditure, some 10 of the children at the Trade School and 30 at local Secondary Schools who cannot afford the fees are sponsored by funds raised by the charity.
