La Phaze has been a long-standing fixture of the french scene, at the intersection of jungle, urban sound system beats and punk rock vibes (a combination style that they call 'Pungle'). After 20 years and 700 wild concerts all over the world, the band came back from a long hiatus and released the new album VISIBLE(S) in October 2020. The original duo (Damny writes the lyrics, both Arnaud and Damny work on the songwriting) has been joined in the meantime by the producer Speaker Louis. When the pandemic caused the band to cancel their tour, the 3 members of La Phaze focused their energy on their studio work and connected with some of the best artists from the reggae, jungle and drum & bass scenes. Joining forces with the hard working Spanish junglists of South Yard, the band is proud to deliver this 100% sound system EP.

With the distinctive vocal energy of Blackout JA  adding to Damny's lyrics and the production of Speaker Louis, this new version of their song 'One Way' is a dubwise dancefloor banger with a conscious message. La Phaze also welcomes the french jungle master Veak, who puts his touch on 'Highly Blessed' for a breakbeat-heavy filthy roller. Spanish reggae star Lasai, already present on the album, delivers here a special and extended version of the song 'Liberticide', in a classic 90s dancehall style. Having worked closely with Damny in the past, Barcelona-based dub specialist Chalart58 offers a brand new reggae cut of the tune 'Haute Sécurité'.

The real novelty of the EP is the title track 'Rebel', an original production which bridges the gap between the seminal La Phaze vibe and modern drum & bass. This tune showcases the band's return to a more digital and electronic sound, fully in touch with their history and with a forward-thinking attitude. Expect the trio to provide serious ammunition for your turntables, until they can finally ignite the dancefloors again with their live show! Pungle is Massive!

Zen Dub - Dreamcatcher [Sentience Records] OUT NOW

Pre-order gatefold double 12" vinyl LP : http://smarturl.it/savagesgatefold
Bundle #1 : http://smarturl.it/MRREPbundle  /// Bundle #2 : http://smarturl.it/MRREPbundle2
All platforms : http://smarturl.it/5fingerdiscount

Melting Records is pleased to snag and reissue the rare album Five Finger Discount from Budapest-based producer Nándor Kürtössy, known here as Savages. Originally released in 2008 in a limited fashion and only on compact disc, the album has been sought after by hip hop and trip hop heads alike. Melting Records has now issued this classic album for the first time on vinyl and is ready to give these tracks the wide audience they deserve.

Nándor Kürtössy is a prolific producer, behind many projects like Kovacs, Savages y Suefo, and Vega Ass, and is also the founder of his own Hungarian electronic music label, Mana Mana Records. Five Finger Discount was Nándor’s first release, born from the previous few years of sessions creating tracks for himself and his friends. Encouraged to collect these cuts onto an album, Savages was created and this remarkable album revealed. Its legend has grown since the initial release with some considering Five Finger Discount a classic of eastern European hip hop culture. The album track “You’re My Chocolate” has since become quite popular among the Greek downtempo DJ scene.

The melancholic guitars and tranquil atmosphere of “You’re My Chocolate” are indeed special, and its languid beats lead the listener through an evocative journey told through sound. This cut is indicative of Savages’ vibe and is only one of the highlights on this jam-packed album. Cuts like “Lookin’ For You”, “Long Distances”, and “The Blow” also captivate by combining hip hop, vintage lounge, and dance floor appeal into a heady, sample-rich stew. Nándor’s sense of humor is also evident throughout as spoken snippets and spy-crafted rhythms intermingle within the playful arrangements. Savages is on point … and this Five Finger Discount is a hefty bargain.

The hero's journey continues. Having left behind your mundane reality in Monomyth: Separation. ‘Initiation’ will take you deep into the unknown, the underworld, the intangible. 

Part 2 of the Monomyth trilogy will take you on a road of trials. This is a favorite phase of the myth- adventure. 

Frenic has created a concept album in the Trip Hop tradition taking influence from a wide selection of source material that includes Hip Hop, Dub, Soul, Funk and Folk. This has all been crafted together using deep beats, scratches, huge dark reverbs and saturated lo fi sounds. 

Based on the book “A Hero with a Thousand Faces”. By Joseph Campbell the trilogy seeks to engage with the concept that all stories have one common theme and by understanding this your own hero's journey can be enlightened. 

“Whether we listen with aloof amusement to the dreamlike mumbo jumbo of some red-eyed witch doctor of the Congo, or read with cultivated rapture thin translations from the sonnets of the mystic Lao-tse; now and again crack the hard nutshell of an argument of Aquinas, or catch suddenly the shining meaning of a bizarre Eskimo fairy tale: it will be always the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find, together with a challengingly persistent suggestion of more remaining to be experienced than will ever be known or told.”(Joseph Campbell)

Jimi Needles - Feel Good Rock VIP

Zen Dub is the sonic identity of Kai Norton, a boundary-breaking producer and DJ emerging from the mystical heart of Glastonbury, South West England. Steeped in over a decade of exploration, his sound fuses organic world instruments and ethereal vocals with cinematic synths and future-driven bass. The result is a hypnotic alchemy, music that feels unearthed from ancient memory and projected through the prism of tomorrow.

Through his imprint Sentience Records and beyond, Zen Dub’s discography unfolds like a map of hidden worlds. Each release is a portal, an exploration into a new sonic landscape, driven by its own theme, story, and resonance.

Known for his dynamic and powerful DJ sets, Zen Dub has lit up stages across the UK and Europe, weaving a sonic tapestry for dancerfloors to lose themselves in. He stands as a magnetic force within the drum & bass scene, a storyteller, a sculptor of sound, and a magnetic force on a path uniquely his own.
