Affiliates Program – Syncopated
Out of all the stuff I found yesterday whilst looking through new releases, a track by someone I’ve never heard of before has to be the one I played the most. To be honest I know practically nothing on this artist/artists and google pretty much gives me nothing as well. Even the label’s site doesn’t […]

With so much talent popping up everywhere at the moment it isn’t a surprise that new, promising labels are popping up too. London […]

A day is a long time in blogland. Azari and III’s latest release has been available for at least 24 hours and already I feel like it’s too late to post these tracks. But hey, it’s not as if they’re not worth sharing and talking about. Canadian production team Azari & III have put together […]

The Boy Who Cried Wolfie
After being offline for a little while, Belgian label Monkey See Monkey Do records surprised me with a nice little promo by US-based producer Wolfie. His latest, Moretto EP, is in my opinion very well produced and has a nice bossa-ish groove while maintaining the tech-house feel. The EP features remixes from labelowner Bongo, Hector […]

Interview: Square Mode
A while ago we had the pleasure to giveaway Square Mode´s track Klezmer – see here if you missed it. The thing is, Square Mode are Anonymity itself. We didn’t really know who precisely we were writing about. As we can’t go on any longer writing about these two guys without knowing anything about the faces behind this project, […]

Well known for his residency at legendary London nightclub Fabric, he now brings us his debut EP “Wrapped In Plastic”, set to drop on November 22nd. If […]

Uniforms for the Dedicated
‘Wholesomely eccentric’ feels slightly like an oxymoron and might bring to mind that wild-eyed yet interesting drama teacher from school who used to waft around barefoot in a kaftan and get the class call her by her first name (“Hey guys, call me Jen”) – but I can think of no better words with which […]

NickNack Remixed
I’ve just come across this album filled with a bunch of remixes of NickNack’s Dearly Departed. The original album came out a couple of months ago and, as DJ Ayres put it, “I would put this album in the same category as DJ Shadow – Endtroducing and RJD2 – Dead Ringer“. The remix album continues […]

Talk’s Holy Mountain
I’ve been completely stumped when it comes to new music lately so I’m really glad this just landed in my inbox tonight. Fresh from Nightshifters comes Talk‘s Holy Mountain. It’s taking me back to that nightmare-dance-music trend I mentioned in my first post as a Truant, with its dark and angry synths and terrifying collusion […]

Interview: O’Jay Boulevard
We are pleased to introduce you to the proficient Glasgow-based sound sculptor Calum MacRae, who is better known under his moniker O’Jay Boulevard. The producer caught our eye not too long ago after previews of his precious songs Scarlett and Cerulean House came forth. His output is staggering: it’s melodious and soulful but still keeps its fortitude. He was […]

Mayer’s debut album ‘A Strange Arrangement‘ was released in ’09 by my all time favorite & legendary recordlabel Stones Throw records (J Dilla, Dam Funk, Madlib, aloe Blacc). “I think Mayer is the only artist in the history of the label that I’ve signed after […]
