That EP lived and breathed on lengthy chuggers and droning snyth patterns, key elements of that sadly unpopular genre. Another track that follows in a similar vein is Jack Dixon’s remix of Ghosting Season’s “A Muffled Sound Of Voices”. Forthcoming on Sasha’s […]
Read moreIt’s no secret that we’re huge Kahn fans. The multitalented Bristolian producer is the man behind some of the filthiest basslines this side of legality, and his remix prowess is remarkable. The last time we were officially blessed with a pure Kahn original was way back in October with the viciously excellent “Illy/Tehran” EP, but since […]

Read moreThere’s no questioning that Gerry Read made quite a stir last year with releases on Fourth Wave and 2nd Drop, which received acclaim across the genre spectrum.

Read moreStream: New Material by Grown Folk. Grown Folk showed up fairly early on Truants’ radar, and were even included on our first-ever Truancy Compilation in early 2011 alongside artists like NGUZUNGUZU, Teeth, Teki Latex, Brenmar and more. They’ve continued to impress us since then and have come a long way in only a year. The […]
Read moreEarlier this month German label Just Another Beat pressed up yet another crisp and sensual slab of house music, this time the from the mysterious Kim Brown.

Read moreWhile we admit that we’re not ahead of the trend on this one, we can’t stop listening to Bang’t, the recent single from Geeeman on Clone Records’ impeccably curated Jack For Daze Series. Geeeman, the Chicago house side project of accomplished producer Gerd, made an impressive debut late in 2010 with his whacked out, raw-as-fuck […]
