It can happen that things come together without too much planning. That's how Beno, Bernardo Campos and Gush ended up with Space Jazz EP. Three artists from Rio, all coming from slightly different corners of music, sitting down to play and letting themselves go. Bernardo has been around the block, playing in sweaty Rio clubs, the kind of gigs where you get a nod from a bunch of legends and realise you did your job right. He's carried that curiosity everywhere, from beach bars in Bahia to late-night residencies back home. Beno comes from a newer wave, restless, building labels, ideas, and pushing Brazilian electronic music as far as he could. And Gush, the jazz head who grew up in a house full of Musica Popular Brasileira, now turning all that heritage into keyboard lines that sound open and breezy. He's the little spice that make the dish better. Here's what these three minds are about: a small harmonic collision that just makes perfect sense. The EP is two tracks. Space Jazz, the opener, with the obvious title. There is a groove, there are keys, but it's more about the air between them. They converse. J All Night is even warmer, the kind of tune you keep close for when the night is stretching past reason. Both are simple, comforting. It's House music, after all, made by people, not machines. The record marks the 58th release on Apparel Music's EXTRA catalogue. EXTRA has been our corner for novelties for a while now, our way of scratching that itch to try things out. So here it is: two tracks, three minds, one little story from Rio that we're happy to share. Space Jazz EP lands October 17th, 2025.

Danny Parton and Mike Parton offer up ‘Jolene 07’ a split A/B side record with two cuts from both producers on each side, showcasing the French touch sound the imprint has become known and loved for.

Danny Parton takes the lead on the a-side, kicking off with ‘Bunch’ and perfectly setting the tone for the record with thunderous drums, saturated choppy synth bass, gritty percussion and intricately processed vocal samples.
‘Point’ follows next and leans into a more airy, brighter aesthetic via squelchy 303 licks, an amalgamation of intertwined vocal chops, sweeping resonant synth lines, organic drums and weight subs throughout.

Mike Parton follows on the B-side, laying down ‘Touch’ first, a deep house excursion fuelled by swinging, crisp drums, billowing atmospherics, twitchy stab sequences intertwined with winding low-end tones and astutely programmed vocal samples.
‘Go To The Moon’ then rounds out the release on a jazzy house tip, laid out across five and a half minutes with fluttering keys, sweeping filtered synths, a dynamically evolving rhythm section and dreamy spoken word vocal lines.

PREMIERE: Danny Parton - Point [Jolene Records]

German producer Tilman puts his personal spin on Sharon Redd’s classic Activate, delivering two distinct reworks that both nod to the roots of house music while offering fresh dancefloor appeal.

The Metro Mix channels early proto house energy – raw and driving with a no-frills groove that brings out the track’s underground potential. A tribute to stripped-back club tools with just the right amount of grit.

Meanwhile, the Paradise Mix smooths things out, layering warm pads, flowing piano chords and mellow grooves into a deep house rework that feels timeless and inviting.
Both mixes highlight Tilman’s instinct for balance – between function and feeling, rhythm and harmony – and reimagine Activate with care, character, and club awareness.

Kapote’s new-school house anthem gets reimagined into fresh jazz-funk disco, 1990s NYC house energy, and proto-dancefloor bangers. There’s no way a DJ with a unique, forward-thinking sound won’t find a version to play.
It’s 2025, and once again Toy Tonics is shaping the soundtrack of the “post-dark electronic age.” After a decade dominated by hard techno, dark trance, and high-speed rave sounds, the label points toward a new horizon of groove, color, and emotion.
Close Counters - the Melbourne duo - elevate Mystery into an electrifying fusion of house, soul, and jazz. 
With lush synths and irresistible energy, they’ve earned the support of tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and lit up stages from Splendour in the Grass to beyond. Vocals by GUINNY. 

Released 13.10.2025

Kapote - Mystery (Close Counters Remix Extended Version)

Since Good Vibrations Music doesn't release much on vinyl these days, the Bristol-based label's occasional compilation style EPs are a genuine must-check. McCabe naturally features prominently throughout. He begins by joining forces with Black Sonix to rework 'Rise' by the Matsiko World Orphan Choir's 'Rise', wrapping dreamy pads, twinkling piano improvisations and heady Rhodes solos around a tactile Latin house groove, before going solo and a rich and soulful rework of Missfly and David Bailey's 'Baby Don't Make Me Wait'. Over on side B, McCabe and Ellis Dee doff a cap to classic US garage on a wonderfully deep dub of 'Got It Bad', before Last Nubian steals the show with the soulful broken beat brilliance of 'Dance Together'.

THE MATSIKO WORLD ORPHAN CHOIR - RISE [BLACK SONIX & SEAN McCABE EXTENDED MIX]

Following years spent contributing killer EPS to Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings, Outplay founders Fouk (AKA Daniel Leeseman and Hans Peeman) make their debut on Jimpster and Tom Roberts' Freerange Records imprint. The Dutch duo sets the tone with title track 'Get It Done', where jaunty piano stabs, warming chords, disco strings and heady vocal snippets and a chunky bassline dance atop a s chunky bassline and swinging, loose-limbed garage-house groove, before unfurling the string-drenched and emotive beauty of 'Floating'. On side B we get two takes on breezy and colourful deep house number 'Neon Flight': a fine, constantly building 'Club Mix', and the deeper and more musically expansive beauty of the 'First Light' take.
