Three-Peat is our feature spanning genres and labels to bring you three select releases from the past that still deserve your attention. 1. Felix Lenferink – Bouree (Fourth Wave) Felix Lenferink is a name that you may not be familiar with yet, but his remarkably strong debut on tastemaking imprint Fourth Wave will make him a name […]
Read moreWe’re in very high spirits about our newest Truancy Volume as this is the first mix that is curated by a fellow music journalist: installment number fourty-five is a journey through gangster and a little bit of French rap put together by one of our favourite writers Nicolas P., alias Pellion Purp, the man behind […]
Read moreGuy Andrews, Brighton-based producer, Truancy Volume contributor and generally funny guy has had a pretty good twelve months. Following on from “Your Notion” and “Textures”/”Shades” last year, his releases for Discobelle and Hemlock respectively, not to mention appearances on Resident Advisor podcasts and any other number of popular online mix series, he’s been courted by […]
Read moreSpring is so beautiful. It’s all about long, sunny days and even longer, sunnier house remixes. Right now anyone who’s anyone is sacking off work to laze around in the park and tweet about drinking alcohol before the big yellow thing in the sky goes down. And any afternoon spent in the great outdoors (or […]
Read moreA seamless mélange of new and old that can be offered up by more well-versed DJs is a skill only accrued through years of dedication to their craft. We’re lucky to currently have so many DJs that are ready and able to share with us their favourite selections from the musical era that keeps on […]
Read moreAside from skimpy clothes, day drinking, and road trips to the beach, summer is the much anticipated season of music festivals. It’s also the season of the anthem, as producers gear up for extensive touring and playing for hundreds of thousands of eager fans. And even though we still have to make it through another […]
Read moreAubrey Drake Graham’s come up has been a strange one. Some of the same pitchfork-holding haters that were spewing fire at the Canadian rapper-come-singer about twenty-four months back have gradually been transformed into those fans that now DIY owl chains and whisper YOLO before job interviews. Somehow Drizzy’s charm is quite irrefutable at the end […]
Read moreThe name I:Cube might ring a bell with some of you from a remix of his track “Disco Cubizm” by a certain pair of French robots, used in their famous Essential Mix way back in 1997. Don’t get it twisted, dude has been grinding ever since with four albums, a remix collection and a shedload […]
Read moreAnd now for something completely different… 22 year-old Japanese producer Yuki Sato is the latest fresh talent to catch our ears here at Truants. So far his work is a an experimental sideline to a band project, but it’s certainly considered and subtle enough to be a full-time endeavour. “Yu-Jyu-Mugen” (stream below) has to be […]
Read moreIt’s been a little over a year since we’ve heard anything from Protect-U, but after having a few listens to their new “Motorbike EP” on Planet Mu we’ve concluded that it was worth the wait. The duo is made up of Mike Petillo aka Mondo, who is also one half of Future Times, and Aaron […]
Read moreAlright, devoted Truants readers? No? What’s that you say? You’re discontent? You’re thirsty? Thirsty for some juicy UKG goodness? You want the thrills of a well-thought out garage remix to drip into your soul like the nectar of the luscious exotic fruit that you find in the Sainsbury’s Finest section? It’s been too long since […]
Read more“There is no House Music revival! It never went away, did it?” When we interviewed Bob Bhamra alias West Norwood Cassette Library last November, he expressed this sentiment as a mantra against the notion that house is somehow back.
