Adam Freeland – Coastal Breaks

With his Global Underground and Back To Mine compilations still getting regular plays at Labs HQ, Adam Freeland is still one of our firm favourites here. With most of his time now spent playing overseas and doing the odd remix, it easy to underestimate his impact. This can be measured by the impact of his [...]

Underworld – Cowgirl

The fact of the matter is that you can never have enough Underworld in your life. I heard this tune on a mix recently and it envoke loads of memories (somewhat hazy ones mind!) of dark basements, thumping bass and hands in the air euphoria. People really lost it to this tune when the break [...]

Released on Chocolate Industries and compiled by Dante Carfagna (click on this link as its a great story) I [...]

South London Ordinance – Sanctuary/Roofy EP

One of the big tips we have had for 2012 is South London Ordinance. Already signed to three labels in he has also done guest mixes for LuckyMe and Mary Anne Hobbs. Serious credentials for one relatively new to the scene but well deserved when you hear the productions. The new two track release for [...]

Our man in Montreal Hissy Fit has been promising us a mix for some time. We’re sure you’ll agree it’s been worth the wait as he managed to fit it in around some mammoth studio sessions for his latest releases. The new project sees him releasing six EP’s in six weeks (stream all the tracks [...]

Kelpe – I Felt Fuzzy EP

One of our favourite label over the last 2 years has been Serbian label Svetlana Industries. They have had a canny knack of picking up lesser know producers and allowing them to show their quality bring many new names to our DJ sets. This time they have another favourite Kelpe on the roster to deliver [...]

Rey & Kjavik – All Alone EP

If you have ever been to Iceland you will know that for such a small place it has an amazing party scene. We recently heard some tracks from duo Rey & Kjavik and were immediately impressed with their brand of deep, spacey house that had the toes tapping almost immediately. Early next month they release [...]
