Here comes a first EP by Josh Ludlow for Toy Tonics. Mastermind of Make a Dance aka M.A.D records. London’s best kept secret (or not so secret anymore) of new underground dance weapons that are played by everybody who counts in the scene. 

Josh delivers a hot 4-tracker that will move people on dance floors worldwide. Combining 1990ies filter house influences, 2000s indie dance and some of the edgy contemporary funk moods that are lighting up clubs these days. The post - techno generation likes it funky, and Josh delivers. Fitting perfectly with the vibe of Toy Tonics, this EP will find a lot of friends. In fact, Josh knows how things work. 

Josh Ludlow has been steadily honing his craft over the past 15 years. Starting out releasing Drum & Bass under the ‘Squash!’ moniker in the late 2000s whilst also playing drums in bands. The former gave way to live touring, and it was only in 2020 when Josh resurfaced with some new electronic music. 

The impetus for releasing this new material was when Josh Ludlow & Ben Lewis formed their beloved project ‘Make A Dance’ (which then went on to establish the imprint), M.A.D Records during the pandemic.
Since then M.A.D have made a big impact on the underground scene, become regulars at places such as Fabric, Heideglühen, Gottwood and gained DJ support of people such as Laurent Garnier, Optimo, Palms Trax and Peggy Gou and across BBC Radio1 and regularly cover show’s on NTS for Long Running Host’s Moxie and Apiento.

This is just the beginning.

PREMIERE: Lekind - Feel Like Making Love [Robsoul Records]

House music doesn’t get much funkier than Demuir’s ‘New Spirit’ EP. Whether it’s the classic sampling on the title track – an homage to his mother-, or the rolling funk bass and vocal chops on ‘Ain’t no stoppin’ ‘, Demuir brings an unstoppable groove with his 2nd release on Heist.

The man behind so many great house records has kept himself rather busy with building his own fanbase, openly debating the role that big platforms play and the firm grip they have on talent. Rather than conforming to the standard route, Demuir chooses to navigate the winding road of building his own following through his production classes, engineering and music releases through artist-first channels like Patreon.

His recent move from Toronto to Chicago feels perfectly in line with the sound Demuir is bringing forward on his first record on Heist since his 2019 classic ‘Werq, feel, gruv, vogue’. Those 6 years were well worth the wait: The ‘New Spirit’ EP  is a perfectly-balanced mix of creativity, confidence and character. The Demuir sound is instantly audible throughout the release and he’s not afraid to make bold choices. Each track has its own identity, its own place on the record and it’s one of the things that make this record stand out in the best way possible. The forward-leaning grooves, the tight mixing and the classic use of soulful samples are a treat to listen and dance to. There’s hints of the 90s New York sound (New Spirit), soulful disco-tinged grooves his new home-town is known for (Ain’t no stoppin’), lean-back and summery melodic grooves (No minions allowed) and deep, bassheavy dubby grooves (Whatchu want is all I got) to remind everyone that Demuir is an absolute master of modern day house music.

We’ve been playing all these songs for a while and we’re happy to finally share these with you.   

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

PREMIERE: ERIK RICO - DISCO FUNK [AROOP ROY BURNING VISION]

Spanish label MATE always deals in house that is deep but seriously musical and classy. Glenn Davis is next up to keep that tradition going and does so with spine-tingling vocal soul on opener 'To Believe,' which taps into classic early Chicago sounds. 'Reality Check' is a balmy follow up with painterly synths and persuasive stabs, while 'True To Yourself' rides on a gentle broken beat with Italo piano chords adding a retro 90s feel. Completing the trip is the deep space odyssey 'Don't Be Misled', which is infused with glowing, golden chords and super soft and fluffy acid modulations.

Argentina's Toomy Disco turns in a no-nonsense six-tracker of club-ready house with a nostalgic core and a modern pulse. 'I'm Yours' kicks off with hypnotic keys, thick basslines and a silky vocal loop, while Furz flips it into a late-night cut, adding smoky depth and a more measured swing. 'Coffee Rush' leans funky and bright, primed for outdoor rotation. On the B-side, 'Rip That Ass' takes things up a gear with a big room stomp and warehouse-primed grit, reworked by Japanese producer Takuya Matsumoto into a bubbling analogue jam. 'Back To Chicago' rounds off with filtered pianos and acid sprinkles-classic shapes with a contemporary finish. This is sun-up house with bounce and range, each track staying lean while offering just enough curve to keep the floor moving.
