Drake ft. Majid Jordan - "Hold On We're Going Home (Groundislava Remix)

Better late than never for volume 7 in the TUFF TRAX series! Keeping it in the close family this month, we deliver a hot new jawn from one of our most talented friends, Jamie Ferguson aka @zubuntu. 

We first introduced Zubuntu's dark, stripped-down club mutations with the free single 'High Skool/Ruff Stuff' (still available here: https://soundcloud.com/tuffwax/twx-008-zubuntu). Since then Jamie's honed his craft, earning him DJ mix requests from the likes of @liminalsoundsmusic, bookings in Berlin and a reputation as an intense live act - most recently demonstrated during residency sets at Bake Haus, a monthly night run alongside fellow Aberdeen Truth-speaker @yoin. 

'Los Alamos Wolves' is more club heat from the rave cave with a nod to Bristolian bass, drenched in @zubuntu's signature trippy vocal drones & clocked with metronome-precise thug snaps.

Tuff Wax Records’ 15th release hits the shelves on September 8th, courtesy of Adelaide’s Jon Santos, AKA Strict Face. ‘Marble Isles’ showcases some of the young Australian’s most promising and daring work yet, seemingly influenced in equal amounts by the thump of UK Grime, the exuberant, unabashed pop sheen of New Wave and the power & nuance of 80s Asian cinema soundtracks.

Opener ‘Slow Fields’ leads, sounding like the work of a dysfunctional string ensemble. ‘Arpeggius’, ‘In Evergreen’ and ‘New Moonlight’ are club-ready and perfectly executed - full to the brim of Neptunes-esque bounce, grimy shuffles and Santos’ remarkable ear for melody. Less devil mix and more OST epic, the smouldering 'Mountain Falls’ takes the EP to its striking conclusion with no discernible time signature or percussive drive.

Strict Face - In Evergreen

"That tune was actually the last song I wrote for the EP! I'd had the original piano melodies sitting around on my hard drive for ages, but it wasn't really until I was on a flight to Melbourne last year that the whole tune came together. Someone told me that they couldn't really get down to this in the club, but I don't see why you couldn't crunch sums to it." - Strict Face 

Strict Face - New Moonlight

Tuff Wax gets that little bit more Tuff for 2015, inviting Aberdeen’s own T_A_M back for his home-team follow up to debut single 'Midgar/Roze'. Since its release way back in the Summer of 2013, producer Thomas Emslie has crafted, grafted and refined his art, impressing the likes of Plastician, DJ Haus and Mumdance enough for public shoutouts and too many Rinse.FM spins to recall. Enter TWX-017, ‘Damned If I Do’.

The EP’s eponymous lead launches straight into pounding breaks and organic percussion, and the mile-a-minute drums continue in ‘Don’t Force It’. ‘Northwood Sad Clown’s an underwater Werehouse jam peppered by cheeky samples and ‘Salaam’ might be the weirdest tune you find yourself whistling this year. A ‘Polymath Man Tuff Wax Bonus Dub’ bookends the whole affair with a analogue, tape-squashed dub of Emslie’s opener.

‘Damned If I Do’ is released on March 9th.

T_A_M - Northwood Sad Clown

The first of two releases from Lockah's excellent Tuff Wax label this week is from Aberdeen based T_A_M. His Damned If I Do EP, from which we've got the titular track, is 5 cuts of minimalist 4x4 bashers that have 5AM warehouse rave written all over them in a genre he's dubbed "Aberdeen truth."

Lil Silva - Mask

Following the success of his recent Kompakt single "Somewhere," John Tejada returns to his own Palette Recordings imprint with "Anaphora." After a series of collaborative projects with fellow artists, Tejada distinguishes "Anaphora" as his first solo release on Palette since 2009 and presents a double headliner of his trademark musicality and driving rhythms, delivering a set of two eruptive grooves with a focus that has earned Tejada the respect of both listeners and peers alike.
"Anaphora" continues where John's 2006 smash "The End Of It All" left off, showcasing Tejada's trademark use of hopeful melodies and emotive sequences. It highlights his undeniable quality of crafting arrangements that rise above monotony.
Continuing where Tejada's "Mono On Mono" and "Eurotunnel" left off, "Bode's law" explores a darker, more driving side of the two songs. Furious analog synths and drums orbit each other in syncopation to create an engaging rhythm that is hypnotic and inspiring.

"Snakebite" is the second track on Visionist's upcoming "Snakes" EP on Leisure System Records

The newest release on Leisure System Records comes from Visionist, whose productions have been omnipresent in the London underground since debuting in 2011 despite a sparse release schedule. With records on Big Dada, Signal Life, 92 Points, and a recent feature on Kode9's Rinse CD, Visionist stitches together heady influences while maintaining an obvious devotion to grime. This 3-tracker on Leisure System is some of his strongest work to date, with starry breaks, jittery gunplay, and belching smokestacks accompanying Visionist's journey from the tunnels of South London to the belly of Berghain. 

The "Snakes" EP will be officially released July 22nd, 2013

A1 - Snakes
A2 - Snakebite
B1 - Poison
