Launching this brand new escapade the devilish rhythms of Portorico stoke the fires of Latin infused energies provoking the word Party, then multiply. Mondo Grosso follows with darker drums plus bass seizing the stereo and shaking it some, while the grainy beats of the excellent title track drive close encounters of nasty bass alongside dangerous

Welcome to Magazine Sixty, Matthew. Let’s start with your excellent new single for Black Wattle – Two Steps Forward EP. What does the title signify and how did your relationship with the label come about? Thanks so much for having me and for the kind words on the EP. I first heard of Black Wattle

Members of the nervous deposition should tune immediately into Simon Hinter’s exhilarating release of life-assuring energy. Who doesn’t love the touch of classic camp as delivered on the title tracks fiercely demanding vocal which simmers across a defining punch of House, Jazz and funk in three equal measures. The taste continues with the gorgeously introspective

The title track from this new long player from J Majik sounds like all the rich intensity of jazz’s shining star has been fuelled into the drum programing. That spine-tingling pleasure courses throughout

All sorts of words collide to describe this exploration into sound which sits so comfortably upon the Loot imprint. Amistad itself dives headlong into the sort of smouldering melancholy that befits these times as charged, throbbing beats and bass are tastefully complimented by gorgeously rich piano. Its simplicity is its sheer strength, no real words

Sitting on the right side of Bliss this undeniably hot production from Braxton plays with the sort of emotions which are only truly defined by the heat of summer rays. Chiaroscuro is timeless, almost flawless as it exudes sweet, funky rhythms amid soaring melodies, added too by the tempting intensity of soulfully charged vocals. Complimented
