‘ Delights ‘ is the new 13 track album from Canadian producer, Defunk, which is released on, Westwood Recordings. It’s an album that sees Defunk venture into new territories as he takes his love of Midtempo and Glitch Hop sounds and fuses it with some proper old skool Funk and Soul and the results are incredible! Crazy, sexy, cool music that provides us with touches of class, filth and jazz meaning there’s bound to be something on this album you’ll dig! Defunk has also invited a few special guest to work with him on this album with the Ragga Twins, Sam Klass, Marshall Mcgee and the Raya Brass Band being just a few. Get on it ladies and gents!

You can download the album for free HERE or if you think it’s worth parting with some of you hard earned cash for then you can buy it from Defunk’s Bandcamp page HERE.

Simply put, Domino Effect has the house / bass game locked down. The label describes their mantra as a label that’s house and garage focused with an emphasis on throwback vibes while pushing new boundaries. This statement couldn’t be more true when applied to their latest release.

Germany’s DJOKO joins the Domino Effect family with a strong six-track EP that includes two originals, as well as remixes from Fabio Lendrum, Ozzis, Karl Lewis Lynch and Ben Bodies Houzey.

Of the Certified EP‘s two originals, “Certified Feelin” digs deep into those round and bouncy garage basslines, paying homage to the imprint’s respect and knowledge of the genre while clearly looking to the future.

The other original, “I Never” is a lesson on house music. Upbeat vocals and playful key stabs are complimented with rich and warm kicks. The track is then wrapped in percussion and basslines that could seemingly keep any dancefloor in perpetual motion.

The remixes on the EP find room to take the originals into other house territories, meandering through bassy, techy and acid-infused pleasantries.

One of the killer party anthems on Fort Knox Five’s new album Pressurize The Cabin is Keep It Poppin featuring Mustafa Akbar of Nappy Riddem. After getting everybody to Funk For Peace on Radio Free DC, Mustafa is back again with more positive feel good party lyrics to keep the vibes going. On this release, the next single from the new album, Fort Knox Five have enlisted the help of some close friends and old school legends to truly keep it popping!

Their friendship forged in the old school rave days, Fort Knox Five and DJ Dan have been close for decades. The DJ Dan and Mike Balance Remix is an indie nu-disco meets G-House banger, full of West Coast flavor. Bubbling beats and pitched down vocals combined with funky synths creates a new school take on an old school sound.
Wes Smith, another alumni of the old school scene, has been topping the breakbeat charts with releases on his label Juice Recordings. His reworking of Keep It Poppin transforms the original into a high energy breakbeat workout. Rounding out the release is Worthy’s deep future house remix, full of chunked out beats and blips, sure to whip the dancefloor into a frenzy. As part of San Francisco’s Dirtybird crew, Worthy brings a fresh new sound which is going off worldwide.

This collection of remixes is engineered to get people on their feet and dancing! With sounds ranging from from nu-disco to deep future house and breakbeat, DJs and old school ravers alike will find these tunes booty shaking. Instrumentals are also available of all three remixes, and you can expect to hear some of these tunes getting the party started, so let’s Keep It Poppin.

Fort Knox Recordings is the renegade funk ‘n soul label from Washington, DC. Established in 2003, our mission is to explore the funkier side of global music. Fort Knox is set to ‘Tell it like it is’ by smashing the artificial barriers established by the ‘System’ that keeps all good music down. Forget about tempos and genres – we want to take you back to the roots and unite all music from our funk, dub, & soul; brothas & sistas – you dig? So stop being so serious, this is music, it’s supposed to be fun.

Love & Other‘s reach within the house community keeps expanding. The past two years has seen the label gain support far and wide with their ability to tap into underground vibes. The imprint’s output has, for the most part, fallen somewhere into the realm of house music but their latest release might be a sign that they’re willing to shine light on different colours of the underground spectrum.

Mendoza, the enigmatic singer joins Love & Other with brand new remixes of her eccentric single, “Houdini.” S-Man aka Roger Sanchez takes the original deeper into the club by capitalizing on the quirky vocals and pounding out the kicks.

Already premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 – veteran British DJ/producer Steve Lawler puts his techy spin on “Houdini” by tweaking out some acid noodlry. Lawler’s edit strips out the vocals almost entirely, relying on stuttering samples that compliment the percussive and dark tones that sound so good at 3:00 am.
