David Agrella returns on his newly-minted Agrellomatica Records with three fresh interpretations on ‘Robot Romance’.

DJ, producer and recording artist David Agrella is an artist with a growing reputation as a versatile selector. Showcasing his musical inspirations across genres via his ‘Agrellomatica’ slot on London radio station Bloop, the first release on his recently launched eponymous imprint gained support from artists including Moxie, Korea Town Acid, and Jane Fitz alongside high praise from the likes of Ransom Note, Vinyl Factory and Bolting Bits. Up next, he returns to welcome a fresh set of material for the label’s second release, ‘Robot Romance’.
‘Electric Nostalgia’ is an utterly addictive track that draws you in right from the start as swirling synths and subby pads float above crisp breaks. ‘Robot Romance’ slowly intensifies with fluttering chords that feel weightless as the even kick drums meet an elastic bassline, providing a propulsive gem. Agrella’s Transition Mix of ‘Fallin’ which closes the EP with pummeling drums and muscular acidic melodies, which are integral to the peak-time feel of the track.

Born out of my own frustrations and crafted with the audio tools I use on a daily basis, I am proud to present my first sample pack!

For as long as I can remember, I've never felt like there were many resources for creating the music I wanted to - as far as I know there aren't any sample packs specifically tailored to this sound either.

This pack is my attempt to remedy the situation, and features many sounds I use every day. I put a lot of effort into making the loops as usable as possible, with drums loops being mainly single-channel for maximum usage potential. Synth-wise, expect plenty of hooks and fillers as well as ambient soundscapes and sweeping pads, all optimised for modern production.The files are loud but generally not over processed, with full dynamic range so you're free to do whatever you want with them!


503MB of files comprising of:

22 Bass Loops
96 Drum Loops including percussion, breaks and more
26 FX Shots
25 Pads and drones
70 Synth Loops


Thanks for supporting my work, hope you have as much fun with these as I did making them :)

OC Connection - Me Tarik Ali (Travis House Groove) [1992]

Seb Wildblood invites SOS Music co-founder Maddy Maia to mark her debut solo EP on All My Thoughts. An introspective record for the dance floor, fuelled by her journey through a challenging music industry. 

The London born / LA based DJ/producer, radio host, label owner, event curator and A&R has dedicated a decade to nourishing artists with a focus on female and gender minorities, elevating new talent through her mostly female DJ sets and radio shows on Worldwide FM & DUBLAB, and most notably of late via the SOS Music (Sisters Of Sound) imprint and curated events series of which she co-founded with DJ Tottie in 2019. ‘With U’ is a full circle story of a dedicated tastemaker reflecting on her contribution to the community.

Sonically, title track ‘With U’ is a nod to seminal oldskool genres that Maddy grew up on, breaks, drum n bass and rave. “I love that this element is back in dance music again!”she explains. ‘Fembot Fashion’ represents the music you’d expect to hear throughout a Maddy Maia DJ set; it's seductive and fresh. The EP doesn’t just represent Maddy’s sonic palette though, it’s a breakthrough in confidence and culmination of charged emotions. 

Maddy Maia - “After being behind the scenes for so long working in A&R - which has been a difficult journey at times - I’m finally feeling confident enough to put my own music out there . It was a very different landscape when I started my career in music. I was so scared of producing, thinking I needed loads of gear I couldn’t afford and spent a long time with imposter syndrome intimidated by the scene. All reinforced by the environment around me being fairly toxic in my early days working in music, a reason clearly driving my work with SOS Music. A lot of emotion has come out in these tracks. They’re my love letters to the dancefloor (dancing has always been intense therapy and probably one of the reasons I was drawn to club culture in the first place) but also the soundtrack to a charged snapshot in history. I made Fembot Fashion when we got the Roe vs. Wade news in the USA and at that moment all our work on championing diversity with SOS Music and throughout my time in the industry just suddenly felt pointless. I was so angry, and happened to have a weekend to myself so I sat in my little studio in East LA and channeled some of that fierce energy I was feeling into this track.

PREMIERE : Maddy Maia - Fembot Fashion (Bell Towers Remix)

Artist: Liquid Earth
Title: The Breakdown EP
Label: Liquid Earth Physical
Cat No: LEP002
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. The Breakdown (Charms Of Gaia Mix)
A2. The Breakdown (Trips & Skips Mix)
B1. The Closer
B2. Cobblestone Stomper



The second in a series of self-released Liquid Earth Physical Records, “The Breakdown” is a front flip into curbside clubbing.

The Aside offers two impeccably tight mixes of the 12” title tune, both providing different licks of pleasure for the casual clubber. “Charms Of Gaia” is forward leaning, equipped with big room, big energy type vocal breaks. “Trips & Skips” is an ode to the stripped down wigglyness of one of UK Tech House’s greatest, Nathan Coles - a clear influence of Mr. Earths.

From here, we are sat next to the two black sheep of the 12” on what seems like the most pleasurable road trip of a record. B1 being the beefed-out break tune titled “The Closer” and B2 the straight and narrow slammings of “Cobblestone Stomper,” a track surely given its holy legs by the OG Jerusalem Cruiser.

What you won’t find on this record is senseless filler, instead, you’ll surely be pumping your face with the permanent botox that is Liquid Earth. Now let’s see that smile!
