For many, electronic music production is a calling, an activity that gives a sonically inspired person purpose. Following a transformative period in his life, Northern UK producer Levi David regained a passionate desire to return to the studio, reaffirming that sound design is existentially essential for him as an artist.

Utilising this momentum, he went onto create a 3-track project which told an encompassing past through to new beginnings story. The result was the Lust EP, titled for the revitalisation of the artist’s love for life and making music.

The release strikes a dynamic balance between introspective deepness and high octane excitement by combining dreamlike elements and energetic components in equal measure. The reflective nature of each song aims to transport the listener on a sub-conscious journey, connecting and reflecting on memories old and new.

The opening track, Divine sets the stage with dramatic undertones, whilst capturing the imagination with melodic progression. Paying homage to the artists’ hometown and early clubbing roots, Entropy reminisces on a time gone by with hopeful keys and joyous sampling. The final curtain comes in the form of the EP’s galvanising title track, Lust; an elevating vocal hook fused with 90s big beat close out the release in a hair-raising and powerful style.

When tackling projects, Karl Guest makes music with raw instinct, passion and intuition. The resulting factor of this adopted approach are productions that are both unadulterated and raw in quality.

These traits are best showcased in his latest release, Dance Again, where double doses of electro flank a hard-hitting organ house cut. With the dual-genre EP, Karl joins the ever-growing Zone Focus roster, bringing a new dimension of sound to the label in 2021.

Broken Intellect and Self_Control pull influence from the Detroit scenes; syncopated 808 kicks provide the rhythm power and harpy synth sequences supply that early techno vibe. Both tracks carry the essential bite needed to grab the dance floors’ attention at peak-time hours.

Dance Again, both in title and in sound, tips its hat to the imminent and long-awaited reopening of club spaces. Made up of chunky bass lines and distorted drums overlaid over a catchy piano melody, this classic house export was custom made for ravers cutting shapes in synchronisation.

Karl Guest - Dance Again [ZF007]

Rolling into summer of ’21 with a medley of Trance is Dublin-based artist @sharpsonmusic, signing Planet Love onto Zone Focus for the label’s eighth release. The four-tracker EP pays homage to the famed Irish festival, mainlining 140bpm energy with hefty drums and euphoric overtones. An ultra-modern sound resonates throughout the project, enabling a diverse listening experience in the process.

Kicking off the release, Planet Love locks in audiophiles with intense rhythms and a blend of shadowy vocals matched against rising keys. Kamen Rider keeps the rapid pace with notes of acid peeking through energetic synth lines. Hard Techno elements take the stage in Dreamer Dreamer, unequivocally made for big festival consumption. As a final tribute, Oxegen was named for the event that carried on Planet Love’s legacy and closes the EP with one last crescendo filled with harpy electricity.

The name comes from the Northern Irish dance music festival PlanetLove, which over the years hosted the likes of Tiesto, Paul van Dyke, John Digweed and Gabriel & Dresden. The EP is a homage to the old school trance anthems from the likes of the Gatecrasher, In Search of Sunrise and Ministry of Sound albums. It brings those early melodic Trance influences and contextualises them into a contemporary sound.

Broken Intellect and Self_Control pull influence from the early Detroit scene; syncopated 808’s provide the rhythm power while harpy synth sequences and acid lines supply us with an ethereal soundscape to get lost in, all the while carrying the essential bite necessary to grab the dance floors’ attention at peak-time hours and teleport it elsewhere.

Dance Again, both in title and in sound, tips its hat to the imminent and long-awaited reopening of club spaces. Made up of chunky bass lines and distorted drums overlaid by a catchy piano melody, this house export was custom made for people cutting shapes in perfect unison and the coming together of what are sadly now, distant dance floors.

After a necessary pause to organize our thoughts, we return stronger than ever with the 28th reference for our catalogue. We welcome Nickon Faith, a young UK producer based in Manchester, who creates a progressive and melodic atmosphere in “Flow With You”. 
Indeed, as a child, he was first influenced by Tangerine Dream, and more recently, by artists the likes of Bicep and Bonobo. 

The sounds’ originality and the subtle female voices fill with melancholy a straightforward elegant House Groove. As for the end of the EP, we rely on two of our favourite artists from the SD crew. 
Luis Palomo is an expert at leaving one speechless. Ludowick re-invents the original song, in this occasion, with an amazing big fat break 90s piano tune. 

Pedro Sanmartín is in top form, as his last year releases prove. The Norway-based artist delivers a deep epic heavenly version, twisting and detuning arpeggios.

Making waves in the port city of Aberdeen is the dynamic duo, t e s t p r e s s. Over the past year, they have risen through the underground ranks with their distinctive "trap-house" style. Smashing sets across Scotland they are now residents of the famed Sub Club in Glasgow. Their track Tears is an unadulterated rave cut which will have clubbers fiercely busting moves on the dancefloor when-ever its dropped.

Fresh Take Records keep the foot down for 2020 with a third release in as many months. This cut comes from Dundalk hard hitter HYYKEN. There must be something in the water in Ireland, as HYYKEN showcases more of the signature sound exported from the island in recent years. 

The EP kicks off with FLATBUSH AVE, the title track, which builds with a heart-thumping kick and ascends through the gears via a catchy hip hop sample. By the time the gliding baseline rears its head, it's sure to send any dance floor into overdrive. Next up is PRAYZE, a peak-time, hazy journey through jarring vocal chops and spacey synths which sound like they just landed from orbit. Two must-haves for the 2020 playlists. 

FLATBUSH AVE is set for release on 6th of March via Fresh Take’s Bandcamp."

With his tracks curated with thumping drums and vocal stabs juxtaposed alongside spacey pads and rave synths, all held together by nasty basslines. For his debut on ZF he has fused together elements of Liquid by Sweet Harmony and Can You Feel It by CLS to create a banging rework of both, perfect for any sesh.

PREMIERE: Galactic Sound Dealer - 2003 [Jerry Horny]

Belgium via France, Emilio van Rijsel delivers four atmospheric Italo Disco gems with a hot analog remix from Claptrap boss Vanity Project for his forthcoming release on the British label XXX, managed by REES. Resident DJ at Welcome To My Flat, Emilio has always been keen about electronic music since he was a little kid thanks to his dad collection of New Wave and 80's Electronica, besides being fascinated by Soul and Funk Music on his mother's side. It was only a matter of time until Emilio grew fond of House Music.

As he joined the Welcome To My Flat Collective in 2013 to help out in its development, he started playing and mixing at smaller events and parties. Through the years, as he improved and the collective grew, he has played in several venues such as Magazine Club, Gare Saint Sauveur, B-Floor, Aeronef, Les Halles de la Filature etc. and was booked to play in some major events such as N.A.M.E Festival, Les Nuits de la Filature, Soundlux, Lille3000, and Run Deep Festival. Now he makes his debut as a producer with inspirations from all the genres House Music has to offer.

PREMIERE: Emilio Van Rijsel - Peanut Sauce [Paradiso]

Irish producer and underground hit crafter jxck drops an exclusive vocal edit from his upcoming EP, utilising with lethal effect vocal snippets from the 90s classic - Dominator. 

The Rough' n' Tough EP started life as a homage to the Jackin House genre with a rapid BPM beat structure being the foundation of each sound system stomper. 

 The artists' signature punchy percussion and driving drums are the bonafide factor that make these tracks big room bombs. Speedy stabs further create a high-tempo energy which provides the listener with a heart-racing workout across the EP. 

 Old school influences throughout can be heard throughout the entire release, glueing the project together in a throwback vibe. Pumping and powerful, jxck delivers an EP which will have you hooked from the first spin.

As one of half of the Kerry-based duo @karlandtees ,  the former of the two artists has had a busy year releasing tunes.  Fresh Take Records, Maslow Unknown, PVNDV and Acollective are just some of the brands he has dropped music with in 2020. He's crafted a special jam for Zone Focus, however; a hard-hitting edit of Fergetta's old school anthem which is massive!

----------
For many, electronic music production is a calling, an activity that gives a sonically inspired person purpose. Following a transformative period in his life, Northern UK producer Levi David regained a passionate desire to return to the studio, reaffirming that sound design is existentially essential for him as an artist.

Utilising this momentum, he went onto create a 3-track project which told an encompassing past through to new beginnings story. The result was the Lust EP, titled for the revitalisation of the artist’s love for life and making music.

The release strikes a dynamic balance between introspective deepness and high octane excitement by combining dreamlike elements and energetic components in equal measure. The reflective nature of each song aims to transport the listener on a sub-conscious journey, connecting and reflecting on memories old and new.

The opening track, Divine sets the stage with dramatic undertones, whilst capturing the imagination with melodic progression. Paying homage to the artists’ hometown and early clubbing roots, Entropy reminisces on a time gone by with hopeful keys and joyous sampling. The final curtain comes in the form of the EP’s galvanising title track, Lust; an elevating vocal hook fused with 90s big beat close out the release in a hair-raising and powerful style.
