From Jersey all the way to NYC, The Josh Craig describes himself as a musical scientist, tapping into often unfathomable or lesser recognised mental needs within his music. As an all-round creator, he is immersed in his work as a designer, publisher, illustrative artist, photographer, film-maker, music producer, DJ… the list could go on. 

Recognising the dancefloor as a place of relocation, an integral space for human beings to learn about oneself, The Josh Craig sees the existence of dancefloors everywhere. Not just in clubs, but in the living room or kitchen of a friend, on the driveway or even in the supermarket aisle; we’ve all been there. His debut album ‘Who We Are As People’ is made purposefully to offer the headspace for us to explore anywhere, anytime.  

In making this body of work, he acknowledges how the process opened him up to identify with emotions and thoughts that may have otherwise been ignored. This fact culminates in an album that is part a journey within self, but also an offering to others to begin their own, aiding them on their way. Moving through different speeds, genres and sound textures, The Josh Craig dives into the concept of Sound Healing across the album.

Informed by the composition of jazz and orchestral music, along with the raw mixing techniques found in reggae, dub-reggae, traditional chilean and even new wave, ‘Who We Are As People’ sees attention to detail come alive within his preference for atmospherics. This album pairs down the technicalities of the aforementioned genres with the best parts of ambient, minimal techno, electro and breaks. Using completely raw analogue methods, The Josh Craig plays out each album track in full takes, imagining the finished piece as if it would be played with a live band. ‘Who We Are As People’ sees an artist who does not mimic certain sounds, rather focusing on technique and a belief in sound as a deeply healing entity.

Gone Gold is the second album from Herrmann Kristoffersen, aka Daniel Herrmann (Flug 8) and Kristina Kristoffersen. Mastered by Jörn Elling Wuttke (The Primitive Painter) it is inspired by the world of gaming and the idea of composing an imaginary soundtrack for the classic racing video game Need for Speed, but in their unique style - kosmische techno, ambient soundscapes and gauzy electronica. 

Creating an imaginary soundtrack for a game and working apart due to Covid-imposed travel restrictions (Daniel in their house in the Taunus woods outside Frankfurt, Kristina in a summerhouse in northern Denmark), it was logical that the couple would use the shortcuts from the gamers’ world to communicate with each other.

Every title represents an aspect of that, providing an insight into how to interpret the song, creating your own online gaming world while listening. From the early-Autechre/AI machine-funk stylings of 1LC (One Life Clear: playing through a video game from start to finish without ever losing a life) and the soulful, space-age techno of Mud (Multi-User Dungeon: a multiplayer real-time virtual world, usually text-based) to the euphoric shoegaze-IDM of 4X (an abbreviation of Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate - a subgenre of strategy-based computer and board games) and the stately, dubbed-out closer Season (a season pass is a form of video game monetisation in which consumers purchase a discounted package for current and future downloadable content).

The term “Gone Gold” (the album’s exceptional title track) comes from the term “gold master”, which is a version of the game that the publisher has determined is good enough to be shipped to stores. (Back then, recordable CDs were manufactured with gold film.) 

However, the album is not just a salute to the gaming industry, Gone Gold also represents an awareness of how it is a growing influence in our lives - for good and bad - especially in these Covid times. 

“The computer has taken over from the television,” explains Kristina, who used to work as a composer for Nintendo. "The escape into the gaming world is an open invitation to let out all the worry and problematic things in life. Millions of children and grown-ups are online communicating all over the world with each other every second of the day. That is pretty wild. I could never have imagined that back in the Nineties when I was playing with my Gameboy."

Take a deep breath, the song says, and keep your head under our boot, cause the second EP on Whypeopledance is coming your way.

After the confrontational Jack Carel EP in February, Whypeopledance is back with Marching Machines’ „Basement“ EP, a release dedicated to all the flashes you’re having of the culture we miss so much, to each hiss of the fog machine you remember, everybody you ever touched on the dance floor, and each staircase that took you underground.
Marching Machines are electronic music producer Dimitri Andreas, and former Radius Records boss and DJ, Spacid, both proudly wearing t-shirts saying „More than two decades in the biz“, and hailing from the country that gave the world some of the best electronic music ever, Belgium! Their new EP contains three original tracks, two remixes, and one instrumental, bringing us to a total of 6 reasons to peek through the keyhole and check out what’s hiding in the „Basement“ on our Bandcamp page.

Starting off with „Clamps“, Marching Machines open with a track for the nipples of the world and every club toilet queue you ever waited. The second track „Spreader“ brings you to the deepest darkroom fantasies by presenting memorable melodies. „Leash“ introduces deviant howls and nasty verses by Lithuania’s best-kept secret, Jaroška, something that would easily go on repeat in Gaspard Noe’s RECTUM club from Irreversible.

We are also happy to introduce two very unique flips to fill the basement's prophecy. Carcass Identity remix of „Leash“ is lubed to the bone, an omen of an incoming trip for the dirtiest of dancers. The second remixer on the EP is Five Rituals taking the originally singing synths of the future and cold-blooded march in the „Spreader“ for a walk on the break side of things.

The world may be falling apart, but it isn’t because you didn’t get any, is it?

The human rights situation in Russia is becoming more acute each year. We believe that the violation of human rights is unacceptable. With Hand to Hand VA we want to draw public attention to this problem and provide assistance to organizations involved in helping people faced with arbitrariness. We have brought together like-minded musicians who share the ideas of cooperation, freedom and unity. 

All proceeds from the VA will be split equally between the Russian human rights organizations: Mediazona (an independent media platform focused on the judiciary, law enforcement and penal system in Russia founded by Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova) and OVD-Info (an independent human rights media project aimed at combating political persecution).

PREMIERE | Al Pagoda - Black (Iro Aka Remix) [Banned In Vegas] 2021

Only You

With “Dance in the Rain”, Niklas Worgt delivers a deeply emotional Breakbeat journey that captures both melancholy and euphoria. Driven by crisp, rolling drums and cinematic synth layers, the track builds tension with haunting atmospheres before breaking into a powerful, dramatic drop. True to Worgt’s signature sound design, it balances raw energy and emotional depth — a track made for both the dance floor and introspective moments alike.

Tropical Animals returns with a fantastic record made by NICK ANTHONY SIMONCINO. 
The Italian producer, Deejay and vinyl collector for over eleven years and boasts a collection of over 10,000 vinyl records, mainly Chicago House, Techno Detroit and Garage 80's after releases on Creme Organization, L.I.E.S., Mathematics and many others, arrives to Tropical Animals Records with a Tribal and mystery work. The ep opens with "Persia" and its oriental voices leave room for an intriguing texture and a deep and intense bass. Open the doors of the city of Persia, we arrive to "Jinbì" that with its round and precise kick, its enveloping bass and its syncopated percussion.. it prepares us for "trip to afrika" where you are catapulted into a whirlwind of sensations thanks to its magical bassline. "Survive" is the most acidic dimension of the ep, mixed with tribal sounds from distant countries, which takes us to "Tikidò", a strongly dancefloor track that makes it irresistible with a mesmerizing vocal loop.
The ep closes a remix of the latter made by head honcho Ricardo Baez, which drastically lowers the bpm, making it dark, sensual and mental. Six beautiful tracks that you will want to listen to and dance with your eyes closed.

Tracklist:

1- Nick Anthony Simoncino - Persia
2- Nick Anthony Simoncino - Jinbì
3- Nick Anthony Simoncino - Trip To Afrika
4- Nick Anthony Simoncino - Survive
5- Nick Anthony Simoncino - Tikidò
