2x12" Vinyl LP. After the sweat-soaked throwback fervour of his 2015 debut LP, Unknown To The Unknown and Hot Haus main man DJ Haus returns to Rinse for a brand new 10-track album, “Artificial Intelligence”. Working at a formidably high rate of productivity, Haus returns with this new record less than 12 months after his last; and he shows no signs of slowing down, maintaining his reputation for creating hard-edged dance anthems that leave a lasting effect on the dancefloor. Each of the album’s 10 tracks take on a life of their own, as DJ Haus mutates his own nostalgic influences through rave, acid basslines, detroit techno and more to create something with each track that’s genuinely innovative, but no less devastating in the dance. Using Haus’ broad sonic palette, “Artificial Intelligence” harks back to golden eras of dance music without ever seeming pastiche, with DJ Haus splicing pre-existing genres to produce hybrid sounds that are rooted firmly in the future. Collaborations with the likes of Arun Verone and DJ Octopus & Steve Murphy utilise their signature quirks, integrating them into Haus’ creations to fabricate something completely unique. Opening to the frenzied sounds of acid house, “Feels So Good” instantly consolidates the producer’s deft ear for a purpose-built vocal sample. Using typically overlaid embellishments as rhythmic elements, DJ Haus utilises repetitive vocals & high-octane rave stabs to create a natural movement that’s sure to heat up clubs worldwide. “Got Me”, a collaboration with midlands-based tech house don Arun Verone, brings to the forefront an intensely percussive beat that’s progressively anchored by acidic basslines, adding weight to the production’s abrasive drum line. For all the album’s nods to the golden eras of classic genres, “Artificial Intelligence” doesn’t veer away from experimentation, with the pummeling percussion of “Pump It” soon to be running up heartbeats nationwide, the 8-bit computer game-esque sounds of “Blip Blorp”, and the paranoid chimes of “Artificial Intelligence”. As one of the most productive artists in the club scene, DJ Haus has pooled from a huge pool of inspirations and dipped back in time to the most misty-eyed moments of rave culture to present “Artificial Intelligence”; an album that’s deadly, hard-bodied and most importantly, like nothing out there in the club stratosphere right now.

CD Edition. Panasonic has many purposes. It’s the first track and video released to the public from P Money’s debut album ‘Live & Direct’ on Rinse. It’s the announcement of the November 25th release date, album launch party and it’s an explosive statement of intent from south London’s most seasoned veteran MC. Premiering last night on BBC Radio 1Xtra would usually see MistaJam have an interview with P Money before pressing play on the world premiere of Panasonic. Naturally P Money went against the grain, showing the world just how charged up he is with an exclusive 15 minute freestyle to accompany the track. After sending shock waves across the airwaves, P Money announced the release of his debut album Live & Direct, which is available to pre-order now with Panasonic being made available instantly. As grime approaches its twentieth year many MC’s have come and gone, P Money has staying power. His rise has been quiet but inexorable since releasing his first grime mixtape Coins 2 Notes in 2008. P’s love for dubstep saw him become a household name in 2010 as tracks ‘Slang Like This’ and ‘Anthemic’ with Magnetic Man catapulted him into the mainstream. With numerous mixtapes, singles and EP’s on Rinse, Butterz, RAM Records, Black Butter and more over the past few years, he’s toured extensively and not only hit UK festivals including Glastonbury, Bestival and Wireless but impacted worldwide with shows in New Zealand, Croatia and the US. His debut album Live & Direct taps into his entire musical history - reaching from his roots in garage and grime into the dubstep that helped establish his name - it's set to draw together the disparate strands of his career so far, as well as reaching forward to suggest a wider future for his sound. A first class mic controller with clarity, witty lyrics, endless flow and punchlines P has touched on everything from love to loss to police brutality, and while Panasonic is an eruptive and authoritative entry into album mode it’s not all the album has to offer. The substance and purpose in his music throughout his career is something he continues throughout the album “Music has never been about money or charting for me. It was always about expression and being able to speak for my community. I’ve always imagined my debut album will sound garage, dubstep and grime, be released on Rinse and be a body of work that inspires young people, the first two are happening, I guess we’ll have to wait till it’s out to see if it really resonates... I think it will”.

Rinse's double decade celebration reaches a serious Zinc renaissance with two of his most influential club cuts ever. 1995's "Fugeez Or Not" is responsible for alluring many fresh ears into jungle and still guarantees a reload when dropped at the right time now. Fast forward four years to 1999 when Zinc did the same with UKG and inspired a whole new generation of breakbeat heads on "138 Trek". Both still sound amazing and completely relevant to today's sound, seldom does a 12" land with so much weight on both side. In a nutshell? Bangers.
