Achille Soardi AKA INTO YOU is no stranger to the scene. It was in 2007 that, under his Kende alias, he set up his own imprint, Lokomotiv Recordings, creating a platform for his own musical expressions. The likes of Francesca Lombardo, ​Valentino Kanzyani and Mauro Alpha all featured on the label, whilst his DJ career began to burgeon and flourish within the thriving UK music scene. In more recent times, Soardi released the stunning ‘Suzuki Song’ EP on Echoe last year, and has now swiftly followed this up with the eclectic ‘Dispersion OK’ EP, showcasing his diverse and varied production style.

We are presenting the second track ‘You Know I Love You’. It begins with a reverberating retro-themed synth solo, paving the way for a pronounced kick-snare combination that you can’t help but dance to, before the breaks-inspired Lake takes us on a cosmic journey with its celestial pulses and glitchy, echo-filled percussion.

‘Dispersion OK’ EP will be available after the 25th of September HERE.

Released via Gravitas Recordings, ‘Solstice’ is a six track album that embodies Savej’s experiences as a student of life. By creating a compilation of work that infuses ancient cultures with ones in modern day, Savej preserves a worldly resonant vibe to prompt journeys of the mind.

We are presenting the title track ‘Solstice’, which spotlights Savej’s practice of the Kargyraa style of throat singing, a skill that demanded weeks of training to achieve proper vocal cord disengagement.

‘Solstice’ album will be available after the 18th of September HERE.

Toada is a Portuguese producer who combines emotional melodies, forward thinking, playful rhythms that define this unique project where Northern and Southern Hemisphere influences meet to superb effect. Continuing to explore concepts relevant to humanity, Toada wrote ‘Poema Colectivo’ as a cathartic artistic expression during the pandemic and the recurrent social inequalities. The calming, hopeful and sometimes agitated tracks emphasise the need for an honest collective response towards a better world. ‘Poema Colectivo’, translates to ‘Collective Poem’ – an exercise where everybody contributes with a word to make up a form of poetry.

We are presenting the second track ‘Mexe Contingo’, which lays down a broken-beat rhythm fused with spiralling synths and growling bass tones in this emotive cut.

‘Poema Colectivo’ EP will be available after the 14th of August HERE.

As the second artist to date to release on the recently founded Ode To Youth label, Mathew Jonson flips the original 14/16 groove with its organic sound sphere into an instantly classic 4-to-the-floor banger by adding his unique transcendent synth lines to the jaunty rhythm of the percussions. In this intuitive pairing the Canadian hardware fanatic Mathew Jonson creates yet another undeniably beautiful composition.

“Having the opportunity to work with live instrumentation is quite rare for me these days. It was quite challenging to get the parts into a dance floor format,” Mathew Jonson said about the remix. “Still, for me I prefer the original. It‘s a beautiful piece of music.”

The original track ‘Douro’ came out in March and was premiered by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC 6music and marked the release debut of Funkhaus resident Liam Mour on Ode To Youth, followed by his eponymous EP.

‘Douro (Mathew Jonson Remix)’ will be available after the 7th of August HERE.

His original productions have been published on labels ...]]> The Canadian label Woodwork Recordings is presenting ‘Slip Hop’, the first in a series of EPs from Riddim Fernandez.

High school professor in math and physics, instructor in rock climbing, and downhill biking, Riddim Fernandez was born in Barbados in the mid ‘70s and was raised in Toronto. His original productions have been published on labels such as Earthday Recordings, East Van Digital, and Squinty Bass Records.

‘Slip Hop’ EP is a collection of hearty dubs overflowing with vibe and mood. The overall effect of these tracks is utter chill-age, while the beats themselves are chunky and thick, with every element direct and purposeful.

We are presenting the fifth track ‘Illusions’, which is working beautifully by keeping sparse until the perfect moments, where Riddim Fernandez introduces hooks and parts that play only once or twice before moving to the next. The half / double time overlay occurs regularly on here in the percussion fills, the bass, and the vocals, resulting in a feel that is simultaneously laid back and pushing forward.

‘Slip Hop’ EP will be available after the 29th of February HERE.

Oblique is a Berlin-based artist framing genre-bending and pulsating soundscapes together with a non- conformist attitude. Drawing influences from his wide cultural background, each release communicates a different take on electronic music. While Oblique’s Argandiwal (وال ارغنده) release on Mauritius based label electrocaïne in April 2018 touched upon the exploration of a lost heritage through intense and multi-layered soundscapes, his ‘Sun’ EP comes with a more technically focused probe into how some of the previously discovered and now signature elements could be further embodied in the dance format.

With the four tracks crossing established genres, Oblique takes elements of house, techno and breakbeat to create his own vision awashed in the bright rays of luminosity that shone through ‘Sun’ EP.

We are presenting the last track ‘Known’, a cut that rounds things off by uniting glistening soundscapes and angelic leads smoothly blended with reviving elements within.

‘Sun’ EP will be available after the 13th of February HERE.
