4 Mixes in 6 and a bit minutes, go on son! Loving this energy

Thoroughly enjoying the vibes on this mix do far chap

We're into month 10 of the year already! Selected a load of records from 1993-2003 for this months instalment. Being the month of Ibiza closings I dug out a load of old bits I bought from my old local favourite Nightfly Records and from various lots on Discogs that remind me of that classic island sound. All sorts of vibes and flavours, some jazzy, some ravey, some deep, a little bit of variety! Ending on a much newer favourite from last year which I just got recently as a gift!

The veteran London and Ibiza DJ splits the difference between rave nostalgia and dance music futurism on the new ‘Space Cake’ EP.

Starting off with the propulsive title track, Frankel takes us beyond the atmosphere with tasty breakbeats and a dynamic bassline. Throughout all four original tunes, deep grooves and airy samples layered within undulating synths continue the space odyssey.

PREMIERE: Tom Frankel - Margin Call [Mindgap Recordings]

Edition of 300 vinyl:
https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/pingers-in-a-field-ep

Tom Frankel returns to our Killer Cuts series with four bubbly, melodic house tracks which touch base at Italo and progressive trance.

The London DJ, producer, label manager and one half of TIN family duo Frankel and Harper released ‘Milestone’ EP back in April last year: a skippy house cut with a strong nostalgia for early ‘90s raves. One year on, ‘Pingers in a field’ sees Frankel focus on bubbly melodies and rich textures. 

‘Pursuit’ is a polyphonic Italo-leaning house banger driven by sumptuous claps, whilst ‘Virtual Reality’’s anthemic melody and acid textures steer more towards progressive trance. ‘Commodore’ follows suit, adding in layers of cosmic ambience that floats blissfully above an assertive tech house beat before the dynamic acidic synths on ‘Blind Date’ bounce beneath high-pitched arpeggios.

Edition of 300 vinyl:
shallnotfade.co.uk/album/buffalo-skank-ep

How many forms can a drum break take across the course of one EP? Needing little introduction are TIN mainstays Frankel & Harper who, with the help of Bakey, help us get to an answer. Buffalo Skank EP is a celebration of breakbeat. Whilst proving the duo’s prowess in rhythmic variety, there is an emphasis on fun as they form complex drum patterns only for them to be chopped and screwed into myriad formations. At times, an Amen break is accompanied by blissed-out atmospherics borrowed from old school d’n’b (‘Buffalo Skank’). At others, an unapologetic rhythm drives forward as if crushing anything in its way (‘Oblivion’). On ‘Taz &’ ricocheting snares evoke the music of junglist Sully before Bakey strips them entirely in favour of a more minimal sound.

Buffalo Skank EP drops 23rd September via Time Is Now.

Berlin imprint E&X Records launches fresh for 2023. 

UK based Tom Frankel is first up to take the reigns with a powerful, energetic and entrancing three track EP featuring a catchy and immersive remix of lead cut “Obvious Choice” from Berlin’s Revivis.

Tom Frankel - Obvious Choice EP (Incl. Revivis Remix) (ER001)

Exclusive: Tom Frankel - Obvious Choice

Tom Frankel has been releasing versatile music on labels Shall Not Fade, Oleeva, Music Related and his own imprint Shellers. Aside from own production Frankel is part of the duo Frankel and Harper releasing Garage with a modern groove and twist on their common label Council Worx. For his latest solo-release Frankel delivers three original tracks for SY's E&X Records exploring musical deeper and progressive territories yet showing the more melodic and softer side of his producer-nature. The EP’s title track Obvious Choice is a break-esque proggy House tune with catchy pads and slightly broken beats that give a hint to uptempo progressive pieces from the noughties. Basically a track that is, as the track title suggests, an obvious choice for a club-set as it skillfully guides dancers to and on the dancefloor.

Tom Frankel's EP Obvious Choice is out on E&X Records on March 8th 2023.

PREMIERE : Tom Frankel - Obvious Choice (Revivis Remix)

Born and bred Londoner Tom Frankel is emerging as one of the nu breed of extra talented dance producers breaking out onto the scene. 

Over the last few years he has honed his trade by playing at legendary clubs such as The Egg, where he is a regular feature, plus many gigs at huge London clubs such as Studio 338, The Cause, Lightbox, Fabric in the UK. While also doing many seasons in Ibiza playing at Sankeys, Privilege, Viva, Zoo project, Hypercolour, and underground haven Plan Be.


Tom has played alongside industry greats such as Bushwacka!, Steve Lawler, Subb-An, Dubfire, Nina Kraviz, Julian Perez, Darius Syrossian, Bicep and Move D, but it is now that Tom himself is starting to take the limelight. 

His productions are fresh, forward thinking, and always with the dance floor in mind, creating his own unique fusion of House music where he has releases and remixes on labels such as Burnski's label Constant Sound and iO (Mulen) imprint OLDiViBES and more recently with his and Dayne Harper own imprint Council Work receiving a lot of attention, with support from Ben UFO, Call Super and Loco Dice amongst others, plus no1 chart positions on Beatport and Deejay.de for the first two releases. 

Tom has earned the admiration of his peers and rightly so, he’s a chap with a lively, transfixing personality and his sets are spirited and distinct, marrying a rich medley of current house, garage and minimal music with sounds from a bygone era. His rapid climb to success is attributable to his hard work and endearing character, which combined with his expert musical knowledge make him a serious one to watch in the future.
