Mexico's HOTMOODS makes his debut on Chicago's TUGBOAT EDITS and it's a real scorcher so it only makes sense to release it in the middle of Summer! Peak heat, summertime sums up this inferno of an EP. It's gonna put the world in a "Hotmood"! 4 tracks.

Yan Tregger can be considered as one of those composers and
instrumentalists who have successfully explored various musical styles during their career, a true experimentalist with a motley repertoire, including Pop, Soul, Jazz, Rock, and even Disco, he remains a must-have for connoisseurs.

From the 1960s to the present day, whether as a composer, arranger or conductor, he is the author of more than 25 albums intended for the library music. The majority of his timeless works, coveted by "diggers" around the world nowadays, set his uncommon productions well apart. With their singular arrangements and rhythms which have the particularity of "sticking" to each musical era, his music continues to delight DJ's and other beatmakers.

This reissue of CATCHY, allows the listener to rediscover musical moments from an era full of inventiveness. A spirit of creativity very hard to match again today...

Fresh, freaking, booty-booting updates of classic eighties electro-boogie like Jam & Lewis and the Troutmans, by this mainstay of the current Toronto scene. Ace.

Fouk might have been curating Outplay since 2013, but their 'Butterfunk EP' is in fact the duo's first proper EP on their own imprint.

It's not that they've been resting on their laurels: they've drip-fed a handful of EPs on the likes of Heist and House of Disco over the past few years, and released solo efforts on Kolour Ltd and Razor 'n Tape that stormed the charts.
It's been fascinating to see the Dutch pair slowly break the mould, moving from heavy sampling in favour to an emphasis on original instrumentation and production.

The Butterfunk EP is fine showcase of their prowess in the studio, loaded to the hilt with contemporary dancefloor funk. Things kick off with the rolling drums, off-beat percussion and seriously infectious Hammond lines of Organ Freeman. Title track Butterfunk is aimed squarely at the hips with its smooth keys and perfectly placed vocal, while some acid lines give the track a little edge.

Flip over for the bumping 'Wong Way', a chunky workout with a rubber bassline. The finale of the EP is 'Winter', a fantastic slice of 80's inspired downtempo mushroom jazz.

Kryptox '...surprising, individualistic, cutting-edge and irrepressibly fun' (The New York Music Daily) JRBB is a German 15 person big band that combines Jazz with Electronica. Additional beat production by COEO (Toy Tonics). On this EP is a rework from JRBB friends BRANDT BRAUER FRICK included. This EP is the first release on KRYPTOX: a new Berlin based label for Neo-Krautrock/JazzElectronica/Experimental music. The new label is made by Mathias 'Munk' Modica. The producer behind indiedance labels Gomma and Toy Tonics. (Modica produced records with people like James Murphy, WhoMadeWho, Peaches, Daniel Avery, The Rammellzee a.o.) With the new label he goes a step further. Searching for new artists who experiment on a high musical level and go beyond boundaries. Far away form the traditional dance universe. The first release on Kryptox comes from JRBB. A 15 piece Jazz group that has a very own, new way to combine Jazz with electronic elements. A New York newspaper called it ODM: Organic Dance Music. A term that fits well. Even if it's hard to pin down JRBB's music - as it is so unique.

Jazzy summer record.

James Holden has announced his third album recorded together with his newly-expanded band, going under the name James Holden & The Animal Spirits. The Animal Spirits will be released 3 November via his own Border Community label. This will be the first full length release from Holden since 2013's critically lauded The Inheritors.
Let yourself be transported to a magical other world of instinct and intuition with this bold new set of synth-led folk-trance standards from electronics guru James Holden and his newly-expanded band of fellow travellers The Animal Spirits. A wild ride that unites the characteristic propulsive melodic vigour of his custom-made modular synthesizer system with an unlikely supporting cast of brass, wind and live percussion, the expansive and transformative psychedelic journey of The Animal Spirits is certainly eternal outsider Holden's most ambitious work to date - but surely also his most direct and accessible.

Double gatefold heavyweight vinyl includes MP3 download codes.

The people at Antinote are always excited to introduce new names to its roster and Sign Libra, its latest addition, makes no exception to the rule.
.
Released under the moniker Sign Libra, Closer to the Equator is the work of Latvian artist and composer Agata Melnikova. Composed for a contemporary ballet at Latvian National Opera in Riga, the music on this record strongly relies on Melnikova's appreciation of BBC-produced nature documentaries. Projecting the life of each creature that inhabits the British TV-program into her very personal and highly synthetized world, Sign Libra lends these microscopic beings her own voice. Each song works like a musical tableau' in which the main protagonists - plants and animals - come on stage to play their part in a ballet carefully choreographed by the Latvian artist.

Sign Libra's mental and musical incarnations of the microcosm of the rainforest have something to do with Software's album populated by exotic insects and crawling plants, a Carnaval des Animaux' released on Sky by a MIDI-addicted Hector Berlioz. These microscopic beings incarnate themselves in resonated melodies that echo through a technicolour rainforest, while winds blow through holographic ferns, vines and palms.

Closer To The Equator synthesizes visions panning treetops as the sun's rays pierce through clouds nearby. Sign Libra takes you into a harmonic world that shines brightly wherever you stand, and offers a genuine synesthetic experience.

Ambroise is at the head of the first EP of Amsem, sub-label house of Mesma Records. Jazz, New York house and French Touch, Ambroise put all his influences through its MPC to produce his first record.

Supported and played by Paso, Flabaire, Gabor, Aymar and Joe Lewandowski

MAKE BELIEVE DISCO, the energetic younger sibling in the SLEAZYBEATS family of labels, continues to provide quality modern club jams !

This time they welcome Ouvrijster to the Make Believe Disco fold.
Ouvrijster might be Dutch for 'old spinster', but we're not dealing with some old hag with EDM aspirations here.
A fresh face from Amsterdam's bustling scene is behind the moniker, making his debut on the label with a three-track affair that ticks all the right boxes: sample-heavy disco gear, dusty basement beatdown and some proper mahogany vibes make for a killer EP.

Nicholas returns to Church with a six track mini LP.

The first EP with Mr Al Kent did so good we just had to make a follow up...

Just like on the first EP we stick to the formula with a lush mid-tempo Philly jam on the A side, over on the B, banging it out with a big disco stomper.

Together you get a 12" that combines the best of both worlds...one for the warm up / end of the night sessions and another for the peak hours.

A seriously good value 12" release ! --

Tom VR offers up his debut full length on all my thoughts.

Brand new year, brand new imprint. CoOp Presents is an all-new record label, founded by IG Culture and Alex Phountzi, set to focus on the depth and wealth of talent that exists within the London Bruk movement and beyond, a project which they consider to be a continuation in the same spirit of the legendary CoOp movement.

Last Summer, the CoOp Presents crew released an EP via First Word Records entitled 'Selectors Assemble'. This was the first collective offering from a foundation comprised of UK dance music pioneers and nowadays bruk soldiers, navigating in & around the world of broken beat and beyond over the last two decades to the present day. Reinvigorated by recent Boiler Room sessions, the crew proceeded with more parties, more radio shows, and gained access to an unlimited pool of all-new sounds. The squad were primed and ready to move forwards from the famed days of the Plastic People dances, and further explore the evolution of their sound.

Selectors Assemble exists as an umbrella to showcase talent from originators and newcomers alike, transcending genres and geographics. Over the summer, more members were introduced to the clique, and it was clear there was much more work to be done. So we proceed. Setting it off, we bring you 'Selectors Assemble Volume Two'. The first six-track selection from the stable for 2018.

James Rudie opens the selection with 'Port Funk', a soulful 4/4 stomper, adrift with jazz licks and weighty bassline. Danvers up next with 'My Nina', a deep vibesy breakbeat opener that chops away, flipping its groove several times through the track. EVM128 steps up & steps in with the no-messin' tough tribal bounce of the 'Gamma Riddim' next. Cengiz opens up the flipside of the plate with some straight up bruk-funk that rides 'On On On'. Entek enters the dance with a twisted swagger and next level sonics on 'Robbery', ticking numerous groove boxes, before we approach the final cut from N15's own Miraa May, on the soulful flex of 'I Don't Want Ya (Didi)'. The rub on this last one coming courtesy of label founders, NameBrandSound aka IG Culture and Alex Phountzi.

Selectors Assemble appear on rotation monthly on Worldwide FM, as well as numerous other shows and dances individually, including upcoming parties at The Jazz Cafe, and the formation of a new base, The Flex, a multi purpose warehouse space in East London. The movement is only destined to grow. The stage for 2018 is set. Get involved.

Jaxx Madicine is a jazz-funk inspired house-ish outfit from Milan consisting of Turbojazz (Local Talk, GAMM Records), Parker Madicine (Heist, Bastard Jazz Brooklyn, CT-HI Records) and the talented jazz keyboardist 'Veez_0'.

With an organic and melodic sound collage you can hear influences from classic 70's jazz funk labels and artists like CTI, Mizell Brothers, Kudu and Bob James but also the current sounds of Kaidi Tatham, Byron The Aquarius and Harvey Sutherland.

After their debut EP 'Montreux' they are now ready to drop their full album 'Distant Classic' where the Jaxx crew exit planet earth and treat us to a space music odyssey that is full of surprises.
During the journey they deliver house, jazz, fusion, boogie and jazzy beats from a highly melodic keyboard perspective.
All tracks are made with a genuine love for analogue synthesizers, fender Rhodes, clavinets and some soulful MPC programming.

'Distant Classic' is an album that can be enjoyed both in the club and at home, but we hope you will enjoy their melodic sounds on any platform. Just press go and enjoy the trip...

'Fifteen' celebrates the work of Ben Lamdin, the musical maverick behind the Nostalgia 77 guise, with an eclectic compilation of tracks spanning fifteen years of jazz, hip hop, blues, funk, downtempo, soul and psychedelia.
Handpicked by Nostalgia 77 and Tru Thoughts, this retrospective showcases the best recordings and remixes from the respected producer, composer, songwriter and guitarist, spanning a range of projects. Featured on this fantastic anniversary release, are classics like Prince Fatty's "Medicine Chest Dub" and the second to none take of "Seven Nation Army" featuring the phenomenal vocals from the ever-soulful Alice Russell. Also included on the retrospective, the beautiful tripped out hip hop take on "Sleepwalker" from fellow Brightonian producer Ambassadeurs, and a track from Lamdin's country soul project with acclaimed songwriter Jeb Loy Nichols.

"...a swirl of the bedrock elements that make up modern music, his LP lifts from Soul, Funk and Hip-Hop to create this ode to Detroit House."
A NATION OF MILLIONS

EARLY SUPPORT FROM ALEXANDER NUT ("Tight beats from Snips as always. Dexters Pain is my fave here. Big ups"), KARIZMA ("Proud to hear a friend grow musically, great work on the album my friend...Full Support. K'), RED RACK'EM, SK VIBEMAKER

SNIPS delivers the first vinyl release on Houseology. The Barbershop LP is a tongue in cheek play on the production techniques Todd Worsnip aka Snips normally uses when making his Hip-Hop work. This 8 track LP is meeting of the two worlds of House and Hip-Hop tapping into Snips' raw ability to find the best cuts and chops needed for any genre.

DJ Snips began his career at legendary London record store Deal Real', where he ran the open mic night alongside British host and comedian Doc Brown, Snips' years at Deal Real saw him DJ'ing alongside performances from several US heavy hitters including Kanye West, Mos Def and the Black Eyed Peas.

Snips' knack for manoeuvring through a wide range of Hip Hop oeuvres has seen him play around the world, Specifically in NYC where he has been a guest at legendary parties including Everyday People, Bible Study, Mobile Mondays and Ginny's Supper Club. As well as being a regular in NY, Snips has also headlined events in The Philippines, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, Qatar, France, Norway and Spain. When Snips isn't touring or on the Club circuit, he's known for churning out beats for some of the most talented MCs on both sides of the Atlantic. His production work includes tracks for several major US recording artists including M1 (Dead Prez), Capadonna (Wu Tang), Sean Price.

Work on the Houseology record label allows Snips the opportunity to articulate himself even more so within his skilled production, by drawing a definitive line between the House/Hip-Hop relationship which has existed for years.

The fifth release on Take Away is like a BBQ sauce, punchy and rich, with a strong balance of acidity to sweetness.
Made by one of the founding members of the Take Away brigade de cuisine, Flapjack May We Take Your Order

Following on from the success of their first EP and its subsequent remix project on Wah Wah 45s, South London Afro-dub warriors Soothayers deliver the first offering from their forthcoming album, Tradition, to be released in June.

"Dis Cant be right, Dat can't be right" is the chorus response on new single, Dis & Dat. So, how long is this song you might wonder as in 2018 there seems to be so many things that sit at odds with each other that verses could go on for an eternity. However, Soothsayers list of issues is succinct - Dis & Dat is not a lesson in politics or socio-economics, but rather a song aimed at bringing us together and something we could all sing if No. 45 (we can't say his name) ever dares to visit our shores, or at any event where a current Government minister is the main attraction.

Quotes from two Jamaican greats - "Sharpen the small axe, cut the big tree, the hotter the battle, the sweeter the victory" - reignite hope in the power of human action and resistance via some uplifting big Afro grooves, Soothsayers style.

Remixes on this vibrant new singles come from erstwhile Fila Brazillia legend Steve Cobby who comes up with a trademark mid-tempo four-to-the-floor dub-infused stomper, while young gun and rising star, Ben Hauke, conjures up a foot friendly, percussive broken latin gem a la 4-Hero that's already doing lots of business on the dance floor.

Dis & Dat is released on February 9th both digitally and on hand-stamped 12", limited to just 100 copies, also featuring the SMBD Warrior Dub of Blinded Souls, on vinyl for the very first time.

Previous radio support comes from Tom Ravenscroft, Huey Morgan and Craig Charles on BBC 6Music, as well as David Rodigan and Jazzie B.

Soothsayers will be celebrating this release with a unique full live show at The Jazz Café in London on Friday February 9th, alongside sets from Ben Romans-Hopcraft (of Childhood fame) and Miles Wu-Lu, the twin sons of frontman Robin Hopcraft.

Swinging Latin House Grooves, fast paced Broken Beat and some serious low end frequencies! North Londons K15 returns to Eglo Records following on from his stellar outing alongside Henry Wu as WU15. We're excited to have him back on fresh Eglo wax with these two heaters. Dedicated to the sun and ready for the dance!

For their 12th label anniversary, Jazz & Milk have decided to launch a new series called "Twelve Inch Jams" in order to celebrate vinyl culture and the legendary 12" format!

JAMS002 sounds the bell for the second round of the series including a 10 years re-issue of the classic Sam Irl cut "You Don't Feel Enough". Originally released as a B1 tune on his "African Dance EP" debut on Pulver Records in 2007, this jazzy house gem found its way into the record bags of many influential DJs over the years. From Session Victim, Glenn Astro, Max Graef to Hodini... the record never disappeared in club sets but certainly from discogs a good while ago.

So it was about time to give the tune a second life and finally press it on the format it deserves - a whole 12" side. The German production duo Session Victim are well-known fans of the track describing it as their secret weapon playing it in quite many DJ sets for years, including their 2015 appearance for Mixmag's DJ Lab.

Hence, it is a great pleasure that Session Victim contributed a remix to the new release. Their absolutely elegant and groove-driven version with a charming 90's touch to it makes a brillant counterpart to the original with its jazzy piano-, drum- and double bass samples leading to an epic synth break that regularly causes ecstatic moments on the dancefloor.

We are pleased to welcome Easy to Remember (Unclear, Klang) and Marius Laurentiu for the fourth episode of BAL. Raw house on the A side and deep with minimal influence on the other side. Limited vinyl only !

'Oonops Drops' is the eponymous name of DJ Oonops' monthly broadcast on Brooklyn Radio (NYC). It's not your average radio show without talk and comments for which he invites renowned guests with their exclusive mixes from around the globe to create timeless and thematic episodes. In the last sixty shows he got visited by artists like Morcheeba, Guts, Nickodemus, The Herbaliser, Nostalgia 77, Boca 45, Blundetto, Chinese Man and many more.

Born in 1977 he got in contact with music at an early stage and soon discovered his medium of choice: vinyl. Oonops is a dj, selector, digger and is known for his smooth mixing skills to rock parties in his unmistakable wildstyle of jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, beats, edits, reggae, dub and afro. He shared the stages with acts like Nightmares on Wax, The Beatnuts, Jeru The Damaja, Ebo Taylor, Myron & E, Akua Naru and The Artifacts to name just a few.

As a longtime friend of the label and as a resident of its own club night he now gets his own compilation series to showcase his manifold taste in digging, selecting and mixing. His matter was to create a compilation of manifold genres of undiscovered, previously unreleased and for the first time on vinyl delicacies for any avid and discernable listener and dj. Especially for the vinyl lovers he dug many tracks which are treats for every set from warm-up until peak time. This compilation will stay for a long time in the bags.

First Word close out 2017 with the return of Kaidi Tatham, following up his 'Changing Times' EP for us, with another killer 4-tracker - this one entitled 'Hard Times'.

To bring you up to speed, Kaidi is probably best known for his work with Bugz In The Attic. His body of work includes musical contributions for artists including Amy Winehouse, Slum Village, Mulatu Astatke, Soul II Soul, Leroy Burgess, Amp Fiddler, Macy Gray, King Britt, DJ Spinna, Mr Scruff and IG Culture.

Earlier this year, he was an integral part of DJ Jazzy Jeff's incredible PLAYlist project, most notably releasing the album 'Chasing Goosebumps', also featuring Glenn Lewis, Stro Elliot, Masego, Daniel Crawford and a whole host more. Most recently he was part of Jeff and Will Smith's (The Fresh Prince) reunion tour across Europe, and added releases to his already impressive catalogue on 2000 Black and Theo Parrish's Sound Signature, with regular compadre, Dego.

The EP kicks off with the title track 'Hard Times', a mid-tempo slice of infectious nu-funk. 'I See What You See' starts with Kaidi's infamous rhodes licks, before dropping to some heads-down latin-tinged percussion and hefty basslines. We maintain the latin funk bruk boogie with the mighty 'Super Lion', and close out the set with a soaring synth and lush piano-led 105BPM groove called 'We All Breathe The Same Air'. Each track exemplifies the articulate proficiency of Kaidi's talents, and cement just why he's so revered by so many.

The harder the times get, the more imperative our need to let off some sweat on the dancefloor.
Mr. Tatham will be on-hand to help, we guarantee you,

You can expect plenty more of this good stuff in 2018.
His last EP for us flew out with the quickness, so, as ever, consider this one a warning.
Ain't no time for sleeping.

Local Talk broadens the palette further with new music by Melbourne producer Prequel The A side plays host to 'Freedom', a jazzy, undulating, mixed-up house sound that epitomises the spirit of Prequel in one track. It's loose and swinging beat infused with hip-shaking bass, heavily percussive piano riffs and crunchy claps only quieten to make way for an unidentified vocal, who politely thanks you for listening and hopes you have a great time while you are here. It sits perfectly in peak-time territory as it does on a late night afterhours tip. On the flip is the ever evolving 'Lefty'. A track that starts off playful & dreamy and features some truly lovely keyboard work. After settling into the groove it takes a sudden and sharp left turn and enters a harder acid focused workout.Percussive elements weave definitively in and out of the bass line as Detroit influenced vocal cries echo throughout the background. This is the type of track you'll be sure to hear blasting out of speaker stacks on all open-minded dance floors around the globe.Another accomplished and celebratory affair from Prequel, it comes highly recommended.

Jazz edits, on welfare!

Milano producer Turbojazz is back on GAMM with 'Food For Cats Vol.2' and this time he throws down fender rhodes fusion style with two full on Jazz/Latin/Brazil-House assaults aimed straight for peak house Jazz-dancin'.

Both 'Bara Bara' and 'The Road Is Hard' are full of tasty Jazz samples (the heads will know whats up!) but are also equipped with additional production.

And most importantly...they'll get u dancing !

For his 5th release, rap afficianado Ty takes us on a journey of works from his heart. He tackles subjects like his childhood neighbourhood Brixton and works through issues over the course of the album of poverty, depression, racism, family, hiphop and the creative process to philosophical musings on life and even imagined film soundtracks. The album, entitled 'A Work Of Heart' is produced and predominantly written by Ty. The sounds are a mixture of crisp, bouncy production, live instrumentation and vivid and entertaining lyrics. Featured guests include Tall Black Guy, Wayne Francis (United Vibrations) and the legendary Umar Bin Hassan of the Last Poets. Of the album the artist says "This is my life work, it's how I feel...I want to upgrade the view of hiphop." This jazz-infused hiphop album is simultaneously uplifiting and thought-provoking.

Lay-Far presents Boorane - Thru Jazz To Mars EP. The project of respected Russian hip-hop beatmakers doing gritty and grainy house music the old-school way. Imagine if Peter Rock was born in Moscow and was producing house, inspired by the Soviet Space Program!

We are very excited to present you the new release on our label: Boorane - Thru Jazz to Mars EP!
Although it's the very first EP of the project, these guys can hardly be called newcomers. Boorane members already have the street credibility and style with the strong roots and skills in b-boying and djing, dating back to early 2000s, and can easily teach us a thing or two about the art of digging, beats programming, real swing and texture. With previous releases on King Underground Records, Boora is recognized as the godfather of Russian boom bap, no less.

Together with his good friend and long-time collaborator on all fronts Krane, they came up with this work of beauty and depth.

Soulful hip-hop beats meet heavily swung house, sophisticated techno and a nice slice of timeless electro, all based on obscure Soviet samples & excerpts from long-forgotten scientific movies and documentaries, chopped drum breaks and complex groovy programming - All created with the classic hip-hop set of tools: Akai MPC 3000 and E-Mu SP-1200.

On the metaphorical side of things Boorane is the clear reference to Buran - the legendary Soviet space program and the eponymous space shuttle! Beyond the mere name - the EP is loaded with sounds, related to the space exploration, including the shuttle engine start at the very beginning of this special musical journey, leading us to straight into space with a reassuring hip-hop beat.

Boorane's music has the capacity to work on so many levels. Being down to earth and clearly physical on the one hand, with the heavy grainy beats and gritty textures that are ready to shake the dancefloors, their music has an unmistakable timeless touch, yielding high aspirations and thoughts about space and time.

The vivid example is Find The Way which is a collaboration with the label boss Lay-Far - is a real pacifist manifesto - with its reassuring thoughts about the future of the world - Love has got to find the way and step by step are the phrases effectively repeated as mantras throughout the track, making us believe the prospect is just inevitable!

Being influenced by the wide range of musicians, like Theo Parrish, Atjazz, Miles Davis, James Brown, Pete Rock, Dj Premier and notably Soviet jazz scene i.e. Mustafa Zade, Georgiy Garaniyan or Aleksey Kucenko, Boora and Krane find the way to make their deeply-rooted music instantly catchy and likeable, at the same time bringing something unique and refreshing to the scene.

finally repressed !

Romare veröffentlicht großartige Live-Versionen der besten Songs seines letzten Albums auf 12inch! Romares letztes Album "Love Songs: Part Two", welches im November 2016 auf Ninja Tune erschien, entwickelte und erweiterte die lässige Brillanz seines gefeierten Debütalbums "Projections". Vom DJ Mag zum "Album des Jahres" gewählt, erhielt es begeisterte Kritiken auf der ganzen Linie. Es wurde von Größen wie Bonobo, Four Tet und Annie Mac unterstützt und etablierte Fairhurst als Produzenten, den man gesehen haben muss. Es scheint, als nehme er diesen Druck recht gelassen hin. "Love Songs: Part Two" zeigte eine Erweiterung, Entwicklung und Vertiefung seiner Techniken. Mit der Anfang November erscheinenden 4-Track Live-12 Inch verfestigt er seinen Ruf als einer der spannendsten, selbstsichersten und unverwechselbarsten Produzenten elektronischer Musik und beweist mal wieder eindrucksvoll sein musikalisches Geschick!

When b&b meet to boogaloo, there's a certain swing in what they do. one digs an cuts and does the do, one plays the magic shoobidoo. Now throw your socks and move your feet as we get way down to their beat! and unfindable.

Camisole Records is delighted to annonce the reissue of Serge Bulot sought after LP « Les Légendes de Brocéliande. Composed equally with synthesizers, organic instruments and percussions in 1980-1981 this album navigates between ambient, leftfield and lectronic jazz.From the mesmerizing 'Euryale' to the ontemplative Échos' each pieces of this album evocates differents stories and legends of Britany.The result is a collection of captivating and ethereal tracks making it the perfect soundscape of the mythical french forest of Brocéliande.

Ben Jacobs aka Crackazat first made a name for himself when he was still living in Bristol and released on EP on the city's Futureboogie label, which has also signed music from the likes of Julio Bashmore, Crazy P and Outboxx.

Early in his career Crackazat was also the official warm up act for an at the time up and coming artist called Floating Points, who now needs no introduction as one of the world's leading electronic music producers.

Moving to Sweden shortly after the Futureboogie release, Crackazat made contact with the Local Talk owners Mad Mats and Tooli, and after a couple of single/EP releases signed his debut solo album Crescendo.
The last couple of years Crackazat has had an explosion of global popularity, which has led to playing gigs all over the world, and releasing tracks and remixes on labels ranging from Josh Wink's Ovum, Joey Negro's Z Records and Eureka in Japan.

Classically trained with a strong Jazz influence, Crackazat has a distinctively individual sound that fuses funk with soulful vocals and the electronic bass music associated with his former home of Bristol.
Eloquent and intelligent, Rainbow Fantasia is a masterpiece that showcases one of electronic music's most exciting talents.

* Japan native JUN KAMODA has been a long been a key creator, lending his hand to many segments of the local scene across the past 15 years.

* KAMODA's latest offering, 'THE DISTORTED HAUNTED BALLROOM EP' offers three fresh tracks from the colourful artist - BODY & SOUL, ( ( (BYE) ) ) and DOPEY FORESTS - a tripped out, twisted journey.

* Opener and lead track, BODY & SOUL is a raucous jam. Killer, frenzied percussion, short riffs and vibrant erratic trumpets fuse industrial elements with far-flung balearia, teasing between warehouse rave and rainforest ravine.

* Second track ( ( (BYE) ) ) is a hazy, hypnotic cut, BODY & SOUL's wild elements rolling into a tug of war between arcadian bleeps and lawless euphoria. DOPEY FORESTS offers up a less frantic but still slamming dance floor ready slice of dreamlike vocals paired with driving percussion. A mesmerising, final jaunt to round out 'THE DISTORTED HAUNTED BALLROOM EP' with an ethereal, spooky stomp.

* 2016 saw KAMODA garner global attention with 'The Clay EP' Dropping on revered NYC Imprint, Mister Saturday Night. That killer cut, Physical Graffiti, was a glimpse of what's to come. Affiliated with Berlin's Dirt Crew Recordings, Mall Grab's Steel City Dance Discs and Black Acre - Jun has caught the attention of the dance floor elite with his playful, yet experimental grooves. This release sees the return to BLACK ACRE, with 'THE DISTORTED HAUNTED BALLROOM EP' nodding towards his previous video-game soundtrack productions, while showcasing the club ready oddities with which he is synonymous - infectious and immaculately produced. Undeniably an ideal fit for forward-thinking Bristol based imprint, BLACK ACRE, who celebrate their decade in the game this year. Rejecting genre constraints, BLACK ACRE focuses on championing talented artists pushing boundaries - working with the likes of Romare, Clap! Clap! Rocks FOE, Connie Constance, Prayer and more across recent years.
