Bontan makes a return to Kerri Chandler’s MadTech Records this May with two energy fuelled productions on his ‘Rewind EP’, with fellow Brits Jhōnsson and Ralph Lawson also stepping in on remix duties. 

Since arriving on the scene in 2012, Bontan has seen an impressive rise that’s gained serious attention from big names such as Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Carl Cox. A long time friend and collaborator of Josh Butler, Bontan soared to atmospheric heights in 2013 as his remix of ‘Got A Feeling’ became the biggest selling remix of the year on Beatport. Fast forward three years and the house producer has shown no signs of stopping, with releases on Toolroom, Circus, Suara and Noir alongside appearances at some of the UK’s most iconic clubs and festivals, plus peak time Ibiza sets across Amnesia, Sankeys and Vista Club last summer. 

First up, ‘Rewind’ kicks things off with a selection of sharp shuffling hats, kicks and interjecting sirens amongst a bubbling and engaging groove. 

Next up, ’33 45’ is a powerful house cut that features Bontan’s signature percussion led, bass driven sound underneath a series of infectious vocal hooks before Jhōnsson adds his touch to the record, delivering an energy led remix that boasts a brooding vibe and thundering 4x4 kicks. 

Lastly, Ralph Lawson steps up to provide an impressive alternative to title track ‘Rewind’, unravelling the original and adding an evolving acid line and raw percussion to reveal a welcome, stripped back remix.

One of the most exciting up and coming artists of recent times, Detlef makes his debut on the mighty Hot Creations with his ‘Kinky Tail EP’ featuring three jacking bombs plotting a riot on the dance floor.

In a short space of time Detlef shot into the limelight with releases and remixes for well-respected labels including Knee Deep In Sound, Moon Harbour, and Defected. Equally at home behind the decks as he is in the studio, the unique party vibe that he brings to his live and DJ sets quickly earned his place as a regular VIVa Warriors resident.

Often billed on the same line-up with industry giants and with releases and remixes forthcoming on Edible Records, Hot Trax, Emerald City and Moon Harbour, Detlef is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Solid Grooves Records co-founder PAWSA readies his second full release on the label with a remix from Denmark’s Anek.

2016 has been pivotal for Solid Grooves as not only has the event series concluded a highly successful debut season in Ibiza but the imprint has quickly cemented itself as an essential platform for house and techno, fast becoming a favourite for names like Adam Beyer, Huxley, James Zabiela, Nicole Moudaber and Groove Armada whilst dominating the upper end of Beatport’s charts. Alongside Michael Bibi, PAWSA is at the helm of Solid Grooves - a producer known for appearances on Gruuv, MOOD, Relief Records, Do Not Sleep and Lost Records.

From the off ‘Twiple Fwet’ demonstrates PAWSA’s inimitable percussive style before introducing a rumbling bassline and looped vocal sample that’s destined to keep crowds moving. ‘Angel Dust’ then meanders forward using crunchy drums as sporadic beeps and echoing effects add to the heightening tension. Concluding the package, Anek’s remix of ‘Twiple Fwet’ incorporates syncopated percussion, menacing throbs and spacelike effects.

Resonance Records is fast becoming one of the hardest-hitting tech house labels on the scene, the go-to imprint for those wanting a sure bet when it comes to a peak time aural delight. With names like Campelphat, Wade, Secondcity, Black Girl / White Girl, Mark Jenkyns and Solardo decorating the discography, it's not difficult to see why it's become so influential. 

Label boss, Max Chapman, takes the reins to steer this next addition in the Resonance Records journey with the help of his Swing Sundays partner in crime and resident DJ, Georgie Marshall. 

When it comes to throwing a knockout party, these two know exactly the right recipe and once you've pumped 'Listen' through a system on full, you'll quickly realise they're a dynamic duo in the studio too. 'Listen' strikes a winning formula right from the word go. With a bassline that smoothly rolls through the track, a layered vocal with a distinct soulful influence and an array of cleverly chosen effects - it's a track that perfectly shows off the talent synonymous with this label.

Max is clearly exploding in the circuit right now, with a stack of Beatport #1s, a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, his debut at Paradise Ibiza, repeat Elrow bookings, tours of the US, South America, Australia and all over Europe, his stock has been on a meteoric the rise in the last 12 months. 

Yet another concrete, hard hitting release from Resonance Records that will continue to cement their place amongst the heavyweight labels. Expect to hear this track doing serious damage to dancefloors through the rest of the summer and beyond.

MOXY MUZIK - NEW LABEL BY DARIUS SYROSSIAN
(VINYL & DIGITAL FORMATS)
info on this first release >>>

"im tired of hearing tracks that are obviously made to make the Beatport Top 10 charts! That market doesn’t interest me at all' Instead, I'm looking to release music that will still be around in 10 years time. Music aimed primarily at the danc efloor. Music with soul and depth and meaning. this is the reason i am launching Moxy Muzik." these are the the words Darius Syrossian used to answer a recent question in an interview on why he is launching his new label

And here we are, the first release on the new Moxy Muzik VINYL & DIGITAL label, an essential EP featuring one of his own originals and excellent remixes by Man Power, East End Dubz and Doc Martin. each EP released on the label comes with bespoke, hand-drawn artwork by Charlotte Archer.

The opening track on this first EP on Moxy Muzik is Dance of the Shaman, a turbo charged house cut with warm, rubbery bass made from the unorthodox method of using an Organ underlining slick and driving drums. The infectious groove is full of late night soul and chords stabs bring plenty of human emotions. 

Me Me Me label boss Man Power remixes it into an uplifting track with happy piano chords dancing over the drums. It’s a timeless effort that will get hands in the air and bring real joy to the floor. The legendary Doc Martin then strips things back and layers in some steamy female vocals to his remix and East End Dubz (Vinyl only) does his perfectly floor facing thing with dubbed out drums and slick hi hats keeping you dancing for days. Shaf Huse delivers his trademark peak time House sound that has been heavily supported from the likes of Martinz Brothers.

Future releases on Moxy Muzik will come from the likes of Phil Weeks, Tommy Vicari Jnr, Ray Mono, Christian Burkhardt, Ben Rau, Dense & Pika and of course Darius himself & will cover plenty of sound crossing both house & techno genre's but avoiding the generic obvious sounds that Darius feels is around too much at the moment. 

* THE MOXY MUZIK RESIDENCY & LABEL PARTIES

As the Label is launched, Darius is doing a series of parties across the uk & abroad to coincide with the Launch of the label, 
these are ALL going to be all night long or 6 hour sets, and to be ONLY held in CLUBS. as well as starting a Monthly residency at Joshua Brooks in Manchester.
the purpose of this is to take ‘CLUBBING BACK TO CLUBS’ and at the same time, play long extended sets

Darius explains “ i have always said that being a true dj is playing LONG sets, and having a residency, so i want to take this opportunity to show this is what I’m about right now, of course its great to play the huge festivals, & those are great, but there doesn’t seem to be balance anymore, most shows seems to be big branded events in big spaces & short sets, small clubs are closing all over and i want to keep this culture alive, when i was younger i used to go to a club called the orbit near Leeds, i saw Jeff Mills there, i saw Sven Vath there, playing this small 500 capacity venue and it was magical, this is what i want to bring back”

Having agreed to play a 6hr set at Joshua Brooks Manchester in June, the event sold out in under 24 hours off the back of Darius tweeting a ticket link, before any artwork or even an event page was created, such was demand their was another date added the following week which also sold out
The atmosphere was electric & this led Darius to plan on a residency in 2019

Here you can watch clips from the party >

DARIUS SYROSSIAN - DANCE OF THE SHAMAN ORIGINAL MIX

A six-track release, ‘Fun Is Fun’ opens with the infectious, synth-driven title track, with a dub version and ‘Mamacita version’ also making it onto the record. Next up, ‘Dancefloor Anarchy’ is a similarly slick cut, while ‘Kill Your Friends’ is 140bpm and harnesses a killer bassline and unnerving scream sample to devastating effect.  

“The title track ‘Fun Is Fun’ is a heavy bassline track, meant as a provocative poem, or as a joke you tell your friends who DJ,” Kessler explains. “When I did this track I was smiling because it’s my message not to take yourself too serious in this business. I think that's a big problem all over this scene.”
