PREMIERE: PAPA NUGS - TELL ME WHY [DFR001]

131bpm - Want More?

A busy and beloved presence in the NYC underground, Meilgaarden (@meilgaarden) arrives on Sorry Records with her debut single release -- a riotous acid house party rocker complete with a lean, DJ friendly acid remix from Chicago rave superstar Ariel Zetina (@arielzetina) (Local Action, Smartbar).

We met Andrea a few summers back when we both played Stream Informer's Good Room / Glen Falls weekender upstate. She runs two stellar club nights here in NYC - Sound Gymnastics and Mister Sister - and is constantly playing great parties all over NYC and beyond at places like Nowadays, Basement, Bossa Nova, Good Room, Public Records as well as yuyu in Mexico, Video Club in Bogotá, Body Language in Berlin, and venues in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Stockholm. Although this release is formally her debut single, Andrea is a seasoned DJ, appearing alongside everyone from Timmy Regisford to DJ Holographic, Ben Klock to AceMo.

Our eternal NYC DJ favorite / the father of our entire style Ron Like Hell has had Meilgaarden as a guest on both his The Space Between Spaces residency on The Lot Radio and at his Plexus party at Paragon in Brooklyn. She also recently played Sunday evening at Nowadays Nonstop sandwiched between Byron Yeates and Ron, and made an appearance at Wire Festival.

Released on July 25, 2024

Teetee - ‘Binary Ritual’ (BB002)

"This year I want to hone in on the vibe that really resonates with me and hopefully show everyone the sounds that I love. Binary Ritual is on the heavier and faster end of this spectrum but still incorporates my favourite elements of acid and weird textures. I’m very grateful to have you all on this journey with me"

Next up on Basement Beats is Binary Ritual from extremely talented London-based DJ & producer Teetee. This track is a peak-time powerhouse, built on thudding drums and a rolling sub that anchors its hypnotic groove channeling the energy of 90s Goa. 

With warped vocal chops and trippy, psy-inspired melodies, Binary Ritual effortlessly blurs the lines between progressive house and psytrance creating an immersive soundscape of tension and release. 

A stand-out moment from this release process was having the track selected to be featured live on BBC Radio London, by resident DJ Jess Iszatt which was another massive milestone for us.

Teetee - Binary Ritual [FREE DL]

Inseparable maestros Alec Dienaar & STIPP hardly bother with track names - who needs them when the tunes hit this hard? The Dutch pair link up with ec2a for four slabs of driving ghettotech steeped in 90s Detroit grit. Blown-out drums, brute-force basslines and a Newton’s cradle-swing power through “Tool 01” and beyond. “Tool 02” and “Tool 03” are kindred spirits, with sassy primadonna behaviour on the former and boarding calls for big ol’ booties on the latter. “Tool 04”’s infectious Chicago house grooves are crowned with a soul-speaking top-of-the-drop sample: “I’ve had enough!”.
