VIPs are becoming more common again with the fast turnover of music in our rapidly evolving musical environment. These enable the producer to continue playing their own tracks in DJ sets but have an edge with a slightly updated version from the released tune. VIPs are mostly never made available outside a select set of DJs, but for the Samurai Hannya series we had a few that were really too strong not to release, so we commissioned a few more to round out the EP. Homemade Weapons is a long term proponent of the VIP and he shows his experience here with his updates of Omen and The Claw, transforming them into entirely different approaches that have been favourites with all DJs that have had these in advance. Roho and Torn strip back their tunes and both provide essential renovations to their initial constructions that propel them back into your crate as essential frameworks to build new blends.

After a weighty 2019, Tyrone returns to Guidance Music for another two barnstormers.

The Newcastle based producer has been steadily cutting his own niche for big and bold dancefloor funk for the last couple of years, with last year’s ‘Severance EP’ gaining him plays and attention from a wide cross section of the scene. He now returns to the label to drop two new trademark tracks in the shape of ‘The Disciple’ and ‘OG’s’.

‘The Disciple’ is classic Tyrone. Setting the scene with deep yet mysterious atmospherics, it’s soon paired with a bold filter opening bassline, producing a big characterful roller. The track develops and crosses a broad range of territory, yet always manages to maintain its sense of both power and meaning.

‘OG’s’ takes a slightly different approach, entering with tight 90’s drums, but heavy 2020 bass. A deeper and gnarling roller layered with unusual sci-fi fx, the track keeps levelling up as it flows further on, making it an excellent DJ tool.

Both Tyrone and Guidance continue to grow and develop their own individual sound, avidly pursuing their artistic journeys and personas and constantly pushing and forming where the music is heading in the future.

A roots reggae vibe, a nonchalant melody...We’re kicking back, Jamaican style, with a glass of warm beer poured from the latest collaboration between O.B.F. & Nazamba.

Drinking a cold beer in a hot country isn’t necessarily the best idea. Your body starts to think that it’s cold, and slows the perspiration that helps you to control your temperature. Result: you actually feel hotter. But a warm beer, according to any Jamaican barman worth his salt, can just as easily be drunk in the morning as at midday or when the night falls.

Nazamba may sing the praises of cold drinks to Aza Lineage, taking her on a tour of the best ice-cold beverages on the planet, but she refuses to give in: “ A cold beer, never!” This single is best served with the animated clip made by Laska and one of the 500 limited edition, specially stamped “Hot Beer” bottles.

Following up the success from Break’s “Another Way” LP, Symmetry sought out some of their favourite producers to spin their take on a selection of tracks from the album.

This first instalment of remixes features Workforce’s reworking of Break & Kyo’s “The Edge Of Time”. His haunting and moody rendition keeps things minimal with skippy rolling beats and lush soundscapes. With innovative vocal rendering and a well designed arrangement, Workforce delivers exactly the remix the original deserved.

Skeptical pulls out his trademark moves on Break & DLR’s “City Slickers”, showcasing his tight and precise production skills. He reshapes the best elements from the original into a stripped back and gritty version, the hypnotic techno style groove keeps this remix constantly rolling till the last bar.
