Through it's first three releases, Andrew James Gustav's label Marginal Returns has prided itself on shifting underrated talent into the much-deserved limelight. Whilst the label head has achieved a similar effect by unearthing forgotten records from the past, his brainchild focuses on fresh music that's primed to be appreciated in the here and now.

With previous releases from Sohrab, Two Phase U and, Controlled Weirdness, Marginal Returns moves onto it's fourth release with Enrica Falqui's Plexus EP. Falqui sprung on the scene alongside Dea Dvornik with their Eris project, releasing two stunning EPs on DJ Masda's Cabaret Recordings. This time around, Falqui goes solo with scintillating results.

exclusive | Harrison BDP - Conflict Within | E&X Records

The second release of E&X Records comes from renowned Welsh artist Harrison Webber, better known under his artist moniker Harrison BDP, who boasts releases on formidable labels like Haws, Phonica, Happiness Therapy, Berg Audio and more. Therefore his Far Away EP, which comes with three original tracks and an Alex Neri remix, on SY's E&X seamingly fits in his discography. The B1, Conflict Within, depicts Harrison's preference for House Music with a progressive-touch and adds another musical nuance or facet of the artist to the EP. After The EP's opener, the title track, and the Alex Neri remix, which both capture an almost Balearic vibe and add a club-note to it, Conflict Within may take the before-mentioned Progressive route but lets those peak-time moments behind. Conflict Within grooves through those late night or early morning dancefloor vibes with its irresistible bass line and the mental chords sequences making dancers and listeners feel like they walk on a proggy cloud.

Harrison BDP's Far Away EP is out on E&X Records.

The brainchild of two lifelong friends, HOTBOX presents its sonic manifesto through a debut VA compilation. In Sonic Sauna, the two label heads Maikee & Nathan Boost pair up with Mtty & Pistaccio and deliver four sonic concoctions to hot your box from side A to B. Each artist has its own take on the HOTBOX. From the adventurous A-side brimming with emphatic melodies, to the more eerie B-side where ominous basslines take center stage. Nestled within the confines of the HOTBOX, the sanctum of relaxation unfolds in the form of an exquisite sonic sauna, a veritable haven where the symphony of rejuvenation orchestrates an intimate dance with the senses.

PREMIERE: Pistaccio - Spooky Seasoning

Shanti Celeste is a vibe. She’s got that magic lightness of touch even when things are getting Jacques Cousteau deep or panel beating heavy. This makes her the perfect candidate for the Sound of Love International 3, channelling the spirit of both those after-hours sessions and the more frivolous daytime boat parties. This is serious music for serious music heads but, after all, everyone is still on holiday. It’s linear and cohesive but plays with the emotions - carnivalesque fun, psychedelic flow-states, heads-down rhythm trax, playful skipping garage, and more abstract moments. Deep joy to deep space and back, often in the space of 3 or 4 well-selected records.

There’s a deep musical and personal connection to the festival - as she says of her first time playing at the Beach Bar, “there’s a heavy Bristol crew there and it all feels easy and nice. It was just good vibes all round”. And she does make it sound easy too, which belies a DJ with some very serious skills and an ear for a killer tune that others might well overlook. And it’s this that makes the 3rd instalment of the Sound of Love International such a joy - a welcome panacea to all of us suffering from the Croatian blues this year.

To which end, we get a cheeky exclusive collaboration between Shanti and her sister-in-arms Saoirse in the shape of ‘Solid Mass’. Persian’s uniquely British paean to the post-rave Sunrise ‘Morning Sun’, cavernous dub runnings outta the Bokeh camp from Seekers International. These are the lift- off tunes, setting the mind-state for the journey ahead.

Things tighten up with cult underground hero Lucas Rodenbush under his E.B.E alias giving us the taught, grooving, dubby tech-house and Gideon Jackson’s ‘Taj Mahal’, crisp, spatial, mystical and criminally slept-on. We go deeper into the night with Perpetual’s Awakenings’, one of those records that is so much more than the sum of its parts. And who knew that Mark Seven was such a dab hand with the dank machine funk? Check 1998’s ‘Crank’ for the skinny. By the time Paco Pack’s rubberised ghetto house reimagining bounces into play it’s GAME OVER.

The final side leaves us with the soft landing - Cari Lekebusch ‘Output 2’ is both pacey and drifting and Pauline Anna Strom’s ‘In-Flight Suspension’ does what it says, whips away the drums and leaves us floating in space. Will we ever touch down?

To overuse a phrase, this compilation arrives in strange times but is a glorious reminder of what brought us all together and will again. The music and dancing under the stars. See you in 2021.
