Sweet Mixtape 123 : Zak Joshua 

Zak Joshua presents the third release on his own NEMESIS92 imprint with Signora: a deeply atmospheric, progressive cut with slick production and a breakdown of epic proportions. 

Signora follows the release of both You Don't Love Me Like You Say You Do and Closer on Zak's new label, NEMESIS92, and demonstrates the breadth of his range as a producer. The label takes its name from his father who was one of the first large-scale legal rave promoters of the late 80s and early 90s and whose brand was a byword for top-quality events across the UK.

Signora heads in a far more progressive direction than either of his two previous releases on the label, with propulsive percussion and ominous synth stabs giving way to a gorgeous, operatic vocal and breakdown that will simply blow you away. 

UK-based artist Zak Joshua first broke through on the electronic music scene when  his debut solo track Figure It Out was uploaded to renowned tastemaker YouTube channel Selected. It has since gone on to accrue over 5 million views with a subsequent official release updated with new vocals and a fresh sonic polish in 2019. This set the wheels in motion for a re-evaluation of Zak’s goals as an artist, and a renewed ambition to make his mark on the dance scene at large.

Zak Joshua's releases throughout 2020 range from the accessible vocal house stylings of I Don't Wanna Wait & Let's Take It Back (both released on the up-and-coming label House Essential Records) to the melancholic lo-fi sounds of 'Let The Light In'. The latter received heavy support from superstar Martin Garrix, featuring as the first track on his prestigious online radio show and across a number of his personal playlists.

Zak Joshua Ft. Alice Kübe - Lost In The Moment (Radio Mix)

Limited edition red vinyl:
shallnotfade.co.uk/album/into-the-past-ep

Lost Palms welcomes Astro, Edinburgh-based purveyor of space age dance music, to the family with Into The Past EP - a high drama record which builds you into a state of tension and won’t let you stop dancing.

The title track is a cavernous peak-time warehouse epic that tempts you deeper, leading into the muscular pulse of ‘Strange Object’. This has real Basic Channel DNA, minimalist but driving. Another beefy dub techno pumper, ‘Calipso’ stays close to the kick drum and showcases an infectious syncopated bassline. Razor sharp scifi B1 ‘Spitzer’ opens up into ear tickling reese bass and some classic Euro squelch; it leads in nicely to ‘Mars’, a dramatic centrepiece to the EP begging to be let loose on a sunrise set. ‘Celestial’ is the last track but the energy doesn’t let up for a second, making use of another growling sawtooth bass patch and the hint of acid style pads. The record feels like a trip into orbit and back - enthralling and clever, yet perfectly built for the dancefloor.
