Sound Shifter, X E Dos, Schoco, and Wellbelove provide a massive dose of fresh Future Jungle/Jungle/DnB. Style Snatchers Vol 3 on Boomsha Recordings ups the ante a considerable notch yet again…

We start with the aptly titled ‘Day Rising’ sounding like a very lively Future Jungle sunrise with lush percussion, bleeps and touches of funky guitar plus gorgeous ambient pads. Schoco takes the original in a drumfunk direction with a massive drop.

X E Dos brings a hefty dose of oldskool jungle class with a tough, melodic rerub of ‘Sentient Realm’

We go back to 94′ for the amen ruffage meets euphoric rushy pianos of ’94 Bad’ and as a very special surprise, a returning Wellbelove gets involved with an atmosphere rich remix in the vein of his own ‘Dark Sun’ track.

The bar gets raised every time with each Boomsha release and with this final EP of the year, 2017 has been put on notice!!!

Sound Shifter- Style Snatchers Vol 3

Since 2014, those dandy gents at Gents & Dandy’s Records have been consistently living up to the tagline ‘quality underground house music’. We catch up with some fresh heat from this dandy label!!!

Criss Korey – The Rhodes EP

Mention of the word ‘Rhodes’ conjures up images of the seminal piano as played by by the Cottonmouth character in Netflix/Marvel show ‘Luke Cage’. Criss Korey sure tinkles the ivorys on that classic piece of instrumentation for the 2 super lush house rhythms that make the ‘Rhodes EP’. A fine addition to the Gents & Dandy’s Records back cat

QLab – 808 EP + Free Track

Squelchy 303s, double bass, Mr Fingers style beats, swirly synths and Hip Hop vox are the soul food ingredients for ‘Drama’. Off-kilter horns, shards of melody and tense overtones provide the deliciously dark aftertaste of ‘Etna’. Italian trio Qlab really delve deep and deliver a stunning release here

There is also this lovely NYC-centric free track from QLab too

Tito Mazzetta – Give It EP

Tito Mazzetta takes us on a 2 track voyage into the sparkling keys, disco loops, toms,  & ethereal late-night sounds meet to dance in the pale moonlight. Can House music really be this sublime and beautiful? The answer is an affirmative

Greenkeys – Still Alive EP

Dropping in with part 2 of advent day #23 is a couple of ladies that have lit up my mind on numerous occasions this year with the music they’ve been making, Black Girl / White Girl. Whether they’re ramping up the energy levels with their Tech House sound, or twisting peoples minds with some Techno, these two ladies always deliver the goods and do so at a high rate with ‘quality’ stamped all over everything they do.

As well as making incredible music, they both know how to rock a crowd and how to assemble a mix to get the blood pumping! Their exclusive mix they’ve done for us features all that high energy Tech House goodness you need to make your Christmas party one to remember. Shapes are being thrown here at LSM HQ to this superb mix and we highly recommend you do the same, because it feels so damn good!

Both Fifties and myself are huge fans of the producer and label owner behind today’s first piece of music on advent day #23 and that man is, Alan Cross. As well as running the always amazing, Census Sound Recordings, you can also find him producing music of his own and chipping in with the odd remix on Census releases. Whether it’s House or Breaks, Alan’s sound has a real techy vibe about it which gives it a fuzzy, warm and mind opening feel. All that can be found in his exclusive tune for us ‘Babylon On Fire’, which is a truly breathtaking piece of Breakbeat and one we’re sure will leave you opened mouthed and in awe of what you’ve just heard. Brilliant stuff!
