In honour of International Worker’s Day / Labour Day, PowerPlay announce their new EP ‘Breaking Capacity’ with lead single ‘ACAB’.  The full release is slated for the 18th June, landing on New York label Sorry Records and features remixes from Escaflowne and Bored Lord. 

PowerPlay is comprised of C Powers and PlayPlay. The pair are both lifelong activists, with the former spending the last year and a half protesting on a near-daily basis. They wrote the track ‘ACAB’ long before last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests but is incredibly relevant to the current moment with everything that’s going on in the States and beyond. 

Georgia-born producer C Powers has previously released on Sweat Equity and Astral Plane Recordings’ label Contagion Discs add has become known for their in-your-face club records, from dark grungy garage to high NRG breaks. PlayPlay is based in New York and is inspired by the music they grew up listening to from 90s club anthems, jungle, classic house and old school hip-hop. A self-described longtime rave enthusiast, they’ve previously released on Knightwerk Records, where they also collaborated with Bored Lord and T5UMUT5UMU.

On 21st September the rising French DJ/producer Simo Cell presents new mini album ‘YES.DJ’ – his first solo record since 2018 – released on his own label TEMƎT. A celebration of dance music culture, each of these heavy-duty, titanium-plated bangers are a tribute to different styles of beats, reinterpreted and suffused with his distinct personality.

The release also comes with a fanzine, which continues the celebration of DJing and dancefloors from a sideways perspective, curating photos taken by Simo of drinks tokens from clubs around the world.

Amman-based Toumba announces Rosefinch, his first EP on wax, and the debut release from London-based record label Hypnic Jerks. The Jordanian DJ, producer and sound designer integrates elements from Jordanian and Levantine folk music into his left-leaning, low-end heavy club sounds. The EP is named after the national bird of Jordan.

Toumba is a curator at MNFA, a club and arts space in Jordan’s capital Amman. It has become a haven for the country’s artistic community in the face of a conservative establishment that often harbours a hostile attitude towards the types of cultural expression that MNFA champions.

A nationally respected artist, Toumba also holds a residency at the MMAG Foundation in Amman. The foundation works with a selection of the most gifted artists in the Levant (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine), providing a space for artistic research, production and critical discourse.

Multipack of Limes is a percussive workout dotted through with zesty keys, building up to a driving lead that recalls the keyboard players of Jordanian weddings. Shurooq and Sa7rawi are both representative of Jordan's beautiful pink-tinted deserts. Shurooq, meaning 'sunrise', is a slow burner, which builds anticipation through its synth and percussive elements before a huge weighty sub-bass ties the track together. Sa7rawi, an aggressive peak-time chugger, evocatively conveys the beauty and harsh ruggedness of the desert's terrain. Lil Amam Sir, a term used in the army meaning "march forward", is one for the DJs: a four to the flour banger complete with microtonal polyrhythm synth hits that are sure to get the crowd two-stepping like clockwork.

Recovery

Following their second EP, Zer0, which launched the Kindergarten Records imprint, Ma Sha Ru return to the label for a split EP with fellow Sorry Records afliate Drummy.
It is the former’s rst split release, and with one track by each artist in turn inspired by the other, Bernal Sphere further exemplies the spirit of communion touched on with their prior releases.
Drummy’s tracks make up the A-side and hint at darkside jungle for a pair of rollers at around 145bpm; the sinister, almost-jump-up avour of his basslines making for potent tools in the right hands. Something Else (Kabuki Mix) is a quintessential bit of work from the New York producer, who says he “started [that] day like any other: with a rave stab and crunched-out breaks.” No Touch is a direct response to Ma Sha Ru’s offering for the release, it’s low-slung bassline and pent-up crackle dripping with volatile energy.

CLUB CHAI Vol. 2 is a collection of tracks by artists whose work truly embodies the Club Chai ethos that exists in storytelling through sound. As we close out the label, this release remains a lustrous perspective on the future.

Alongside the compilation, the Club Chai Archive book is out today on our Bandcamp. You can preorder the book alongside the digital release of the compilation for a bundled price of $35 ($15 for the compilation and $25 for the book).

The archive book is a culmination of all the moving parts that make up Club Chai at once – a way to honor the project's complexity and intimacy. A way to honor the project's complexity and intimacy. How do we remember and archive something that is really made up of a fleeting feeling? Being on the dancefloor with friends, singing in unison or zoning out in complete bliss. It feels right to create something physical that can be held, touched and encountered slowly and 
carefully. Making this book entirely with friends makes it feel even more intimate and special.
