They were given no proper directions, only a few coordinates; the rest they'd have to work out themselves. Sheer determination and perseverance would get them there, despite taking a few wrong turns along the way. The directions led them to an abandoned industrial estate with not a soul in sight: now to pinpoint the sounds that would lead them to the dance.

The YAM Records crew return for another instalment in their club-indebted sub label: BAM (Body Action Music). Tasked with following up last year's 90s-fuelled release from Kyoto's Stones Taro is fellow Scuffed Recordings alumni 95Bones, who channels a year of lost dance floors into four killer tracks. Custom made for dark rooms and pounding soundsystems, the EP brings a dose of hardware jams that rattle through acid, breaks, UKG and NY house.

In recognition of the influence of LGBTQ+ culture on contemporary dance music a portion of proceeds from this release will be donated to Stonewall Housing.

Back once again with the Body Action Music!One of our personal favorite imprints out right now, BAM is a home to “no-nonsense releases,” “mastered loud,” “DJ-focused, functional records made for having fun on the dance floor,” “lovingly delivered by the crew at YAM Records” with a promise that “every release will have at least one track that bangs.” That was certainly true for 2019’s modern classic BAM001 12” from Human Resources and last year’s Bolting Bits premiered rave-focused outing from Kyoto favorites Stones Taro. Enter London-based producer and resident of Surrey-based party/label Presha 95Bones who affinity for that sort of “Chunky But Funky,” “high energy beats with charisma and groove” is evident on the five absolutely banging tracks on BAM003.

Mr. Bones is a stand-out alumni of both new gen Bristol-based UK Bass outfit Scuffed Recordings and last year’s fantastic ON​+​ON​+​ON compilations from London rave outfit GODDEZZ. There’s no half-stepping here as 95Bones channels a year of pent-up pandemic-driven dance energy into each and every track from the off-to-the-races old school Funky Drummer breaks acid of “Bayonet Cap” to today’s Bolting bits premiered Chicago Jack via British bass floor burner “Queen Romey” with its accompanying video treatment. 

Take the itchy shuffle of “ Bugs on the Floor” as it passes through playfully anxious dub on its way to a near-certain drop which comes almost exactly when called save for a small half-second stutter where all the air gets sucked out of the room like a Max Martin production just before the chorus. These brilliant bits of small detail work are the talented South London producer’s bread and butter (that and endless arrays of electro acid currents that could make a dead man move.)

More than glad to see that “in recognition of the influence of LGBTQ+ culture on contemporary dance music,” and this record no doubt — 25% of proceeds from this release will be donated to Stonewall Housing; a UK based organization that has “helped tens of thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people to find safe and secure homes.”

442 - Dave Angel - 39 Flavours Of Tech Funk - Disc 1 (1998)

Footshooter is the moniker of London based producer, DJ and musician Barney Whittaker. His style blends skippy, broken beat production with live instrumentation to create an organic, rich sound and he frequently collaborates with emcees, poets and vocalists exploring different tones and moods.

His last record, Strange Days EP (released on Famous Friends), gained regular plays on NTS, Balamii, WorldWide FM and, most recently, by Bonobo in a DJ set at his NYC Boiler Room.

'Technicolour Nights', due out on YAM Records later this year, is a meditation on long evenings & nights out and how they vary in atmosphere, mood and colour. Opening with the aptly named and ethereal 'Intro', the EP quickly jumps into sunshine territory with 'Juan's Stairwell' before 'On Telegraph Hill' brings the heads down for a meditative two-step groover to close up the A-side.

On the flip, Footshooter flexes his 160bpm muscles on 'Mars' with the help of London based vocalist and MC And Is Phi, before dropping the tempo just a touch on 'Rotations', a steppy, Rhodes-laden journey through London nightlife. 'Our Love' lowers the tempo even further to bring the EP to a close on a bittersweet note.

“They have a nice way of using breaks,” my friend Jesse said. An undersell of an introduction to say the least for Kyoto based production madhouse Stones Taro. With a sound defined by refined jubilance Stones Taro have consistently been delivering uptempo bass workouts, unreserved breakbeat frenzy, and pleasantly unnerving grooves for years now. Following up standout releases on Bristol bass institution Scuffed Records, Stones Taro are back with a solid as a rock release on Body Action Music a.k.a. BAM.

This Body Action Music label is firmly on my radar to say the least. Launching last year with two absolutely beautiful tracks from Human Resources, B.A.M. has only continued to prove they’re worth with this latest release from Stones Taro. This latest EP is four expertly mixed tracks that seamlessly balance unnerving deepness and lived-in groove. Bolting Bits is happy to share “Rabbits” — a restless groove bass-driven journey that shows just how glossy the wormhole can be.

PREMIERE: Stones Taro - Rabbits

Any rumblings or annoyance at being awoken at the crack of dawn soon evaporated when they reached the foot of the river. The sun was protected by a soft mist that drifted softly above the calm waters; it felt peaceful, magical even. This is where they'd post up for the foreseeable, rods and camping chairs in tow; it was the perfect spot to patiently watch the day go by, and hopefully catch a fish or two...

Last year Southeast London's Yam Records kicked off their BAM (Body Action Music) series as a means to share no nonsense DJ-focused tracks, cut for the dance floor. They follow up the first instalment from Bristol's Human Resources with a four tracker from Kyoto-based producer and Scuffed Records alumni Stones Taro. With a penchant for jungle, breaks, UKG and house, Taro breathes new life into these styles, crafting a collection of club-ready tracks that celebrate the quintessential sounds of the UK clubland.
