tiago, a name synonymous with the lisbons underground night trust at lux club and a portuguese pioneer of the blend between all kinds of music. also, tiago has released twisted tracks consistently for close to 10 years now, spreading his net across quality like jolly jams, public possession and his very own imprint interzona13. he epitomises how the art of quality disco, house & techno music should be done. in these glutted days of cutand- paste edits, his care, passion and talent hark back to the origins of the musical movement. as a producer, dj and musician, tiago and his extensive discography have played a vital role in the reawakening of love and interest in the various shades of leftfield dance music over the last decade across the world.

with future releases from the likes of reset robot and geddes, truesoul is positioning itself as a label to be reckoned with. after a storming 2014 with releases on viva, quartz and snatch off, onno is back with his first ep for 2015 on adam beyers acclaimed truesoul label. for this 3 track ep, onno explores the more techno focussed part of his sound, while retaining that bottom heavy, hip hop inspired groove that he is renowned for.

modini is back! they come correct with their follow up to their dabj debut turk from last year, this one is an even deeper bass laden, warehouse affair that won t hang around long either. so do not sleep! strictly limited with another cool inlay designed by dan axon. see if you can guess what this one represents.

glesga toons very own cream mac-wearing whirling dervish returns to the dabj fold for his sophomore side. after the massively in demand *sulta selects vol. 1*, oor denis is back with his inimitable brand of hig-end rollers.

hailing from berlin, but spiritually from chi-town, snuff crew are back in your area with some freshly served up basement goodies once again. following on from basement jams #1, from all the way back in 2011, the boys bring us tracks with the same playful nature as before but, dare i say it, they go even harder this time. stalwart fans of the first release can stop reading now because it will almost certainly be a blind-buy for you, four tracks obviously engineered for use in the club, whether its the massive kick in ‘what it is’ or the ravey acid lead in ‘88cents’. the jams on the b-side may do the most damage. ‘remember’ holds absolutely nothing back, with its arpeggiated bassline lead and crisper than crisp 909 drum programming. analog is a term that gets bandied about all the time nowadays, ever since so many young producers became enamoured with tape compression and hiss delay plug-ins. i know snuff crew are real analog guys though, in sound and mentality, so hearing basement jams #2 for the first time had me so excited once again.

2016 repress - outplay s third vinyl release will be from young mancunian artist loz goddard. with releases on large music and editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. a well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied ep and a great showcase for loz s sound. outplay s own fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush it will come to me into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove

limited­edition/vinyl­only release. who is chocki hookon? you probably know him/her/them, but dont preoccupy yourself with trying to figure out the mystery. wheres the fun in that!? these tracks were made to make you dance and thats all you really need to know. two originals, two remixes by lph co­head, jacques renault.

its tempting to concentrate on felixs dickinsons history, his pre criminal justice act rave orchestration, his 10 years djing for the lifeforce parties in japan or any of his djing and touring achievements during the early formation of the uk house scene.

not since edward iii rolled out his cannons on the french battlefield during the 100 years war have we seen such shock & awe response to fresh, terrifying and complete weaponry. many of you will already know the name of tx connect from his previous sides on dabj, not to mention cuts on l.i.e.s (w/ willie burns), bad mums and adelaide soundworks. the three tracks present here for his first bonafide dabj solo outing are no-nonsense jack trax strictly for the vagabonds, rogues, sages and full-on midnight wizards. if you were to drop this fizzing slice of wax into a two-litre bottle of coke, it would level your whole fucking town.

the dixon avenue basements jams star ascends to the heavens and beyond with a cold crushin killer from modini. these are bonafide summer jams, just in time for the lick of heat we re having and perfect for slamming on whilst you scrape the melted tarmac off the road with a twig and guzzle bombastically coloured fizzy drinks. or alternatively, if you happen to be a fully grown-ass person, a 3-day roof party might do the do. the cut of modini s jib takes the shape of fully fledged funk cloak woven from the silk of the brazilian wandering spider, and adorned with jewels purchased on the black market from what is believed to have been a cache belonging to black caesar, most likely from his days of pillaging the florida keys circa 1718ad. bleepy house jams and halloween synth flurries belting out the mix, slabs of knee-grazing boogie and bulldozing dance floor drama - modini: hear thy name and know the essence of rhythmic grooooove. with this release dabj presents the first in a series of limited edition monotone prints (pictured below) from dan axon - simple ink on paper describing the energy of dabj, it s origins, people, music, direction and future.)

another day, another motherfuckin dab-j! well, their release roster might not be that prolific, but well not let reason interfere with rhyme. and you guessed it: its another shadowy figure lifted from obscurity like a golden pearl plucked from the deepest depths of the ocean. could it be the work of an infamous producer, or the product of a hobo wizard whos borrowed a few machines from a home-owning friend? only thedabj illuminati know this. and the fact that they also have a sense of humor means that we can keep getting away with writing these increasingly ridiculous press releases. it also gives us reason to assume that the entire dabj back catalogue is the work of an 85 year old woman. o.d.d: ol dirty debra working that danceflo heat. but more than likely its not on a geriatric junt tip.

vol.4 with more real raw rocking shit.... from the street for the club... hot wax

2016 repress! hot since 82 (defected, get physical) gets back with his second hot jam record another powerful fourtracker for your pleasure.

fine, atmospheric deep house by dj jus-ed on multicolour marbled 10 inch vinyl.

the e.p kicks off with she can dance, a slow burning acid number that has elements of deep, grooving house from the detroit school. in fact, the second cut low control bares the influence of detroit too, with its murky, dubbed-out chords ala luke hess moving into a punchy bassline with minimal but functional drum patterns. proceedings get a bit more bouncy on the smoking hat, a quirky acid romp on the less daft side of ceephax, and the perfect soundtrack to accompany a feature-length documentary about.... a smoking hat. finishing up the e.p is fudge fingas remix of low control, the only man qualified to make an already deep as fuck track even deeper. theres been some on-point criticisms about a lot recent deep stuff getting lost in noodly jazz territory, but we are in no danger of that nonsense with fudge fingas at the controls: accomplished a musician he may be, hes never been one to lose the way, and this mix proves his deft and subtle remix talents. dabj done done it again, and hopefully this is the first in a long line of productions from vernon.

here we have the ridiculously massive breakthrough track finally available on jolly wax. on the flipside, for your extra dancing pleasure dj kaos take the song into new spacey places chicago electrofunk excursions, with an hyponotic bassline and some killer synths. already getting play from dj harvey, idjut boys, prins thomas, and more. full power to the floor
