lady blacktronika : she needs no introduction to the usual skylax heads, after last year’s killer ‘it’s a blacktronika world’ ep, the queen of beatdown returns to the skylax fold with a packed eleven track lp for us. it has got her signature slo-mo grooves, as well as a couple of housier cuts on the back-end of the record. naturally, a lot of these tracks are perfect for the club on their own, whether it’s an early set or a late one, but the lp really stands up on a full run through for home listening too. on the topside of the record, there’s the chugging vibe of “who doctor”, with its whirling synth and sizzling hats perfect for that low light, early mood. then you have the likes of “how i miss my x”, and titular track “a lonely space program”, that both raise the tempo into housier territory. all bases covered, really. this record is a slice of beatdown history, one you’d be a fool to sleep on!

lady blacktronika shows two totally different sides to her character with her return to bass culture via a potent ep full of deliciously dark, bass-heavy productions placed side by side with more soulful explorations of the house sound. following the ‘all in vain’ ep, which landed earlier this year, lady blacktronika comes correct once again with a collection of four of the finest quality cuts. our introduction to the ep is a thorough dip in the deep end of tech house, with the marauding ‘it rains’. full of darkness, the venomous track stomps along with a powerful, darkside bassline and razor-sharp percussion. high-pitched keys add to the malevolent flavour of this raw cut. after that, we get a more measured, yet mysterious and unsettling slice of minimal funk. ‘no good’ is a hypnotic trip inside lady blacktronika’s murky world with snarling synth lines, clever percussion, eerie fx and a naughty little b-line. on the flip we have retro-inspired ‘call my name’, with a very old school feel as the 808 gets a proper workout in tandem with a familiar female spoken-word vocal layered over the top. this is bound to send the dance floor into uproar with its killer vocal sample. finally ‘set out your luv’ gives the ep a heady ending, light airy pads are placed alongside a grooving bassline, soulful vocals, diamond-cut beats and squelchy effects to create a lush, dreamy soundscape which will get those hips moving….

long await repress 2016 ...chicago-based producers most fully realized work to date, weaving live orchestration & irresistible synth lines through tough percussive frames. a great leap forward from the sample-clad disco house of her previous records.

san jose native (now berlin based) lady blacktronika aka akua marcelle grant is the latest edition to the meda fury family - described by resident advisor as the first lady of deep house, her slow but steady rise has resulted from a slew of smoky, beatdown inflected workouts, topped with her sultry vocals, and infused with a sense of her personal struggles and hardships.

lady blacktronika aka “the first lady of beatdown” brings three solid productions with all in vain ep, the next instalment on bass culture records. discovered on myspace by mike huckaby back in 2007, lady blacktronika’s sound brings a gritty edge from her street days, while simultaneously oozing a unique female sensitivity. making an impressive transition from the days when the dj boys wouldn’t let her play with their toys, she runs multiple labels, sound black recordings, sound kemystry and is co-creator of cocaine records, as well as releasing on deep explorer, skylax, underground quality and now bass culture. jumping straight in with learn me baby, the a side sets the tone with a deep and pounding, powerful groove. the title track takes it up a notch, the most incessant of the package, built for that peak-time dance floor fury. while the techno undertones remain, lord knows is a beautiful swirling house number that infuses the ears and body. the common denominator in all cases is the resonating voice of lady blacktronika herself, adding the human touch… a touch of soul.

skylax 136 arrives in the form of a killer ep from none other than lady blacktronika. most will know her from her own imprint, sound black recordings, where she has served up some of the best deep house and slo-mo beatdown to come from the us since the labels inception in 2010. such a stellar output has led many to refer to her as the first lady of both the genres she frequents, and with this new offering of pure-grade deep house, she shows no sign of letting go of that title.

phonica unveil the third in a series of three 12inch samplers featuring a selection of tracks from their new compilation ten years of phonica.

jackmaster cunt ep is the 5th release from sound black. its a departure from the lady blacktronika’s signature slo mo sound taking us on a journey into jack. she’s got 4 deep groove laden tracks here to please the hardest of deepcore house fans and the deepest of hardcore house heads. the tracks here borrow largely from the sounds of chicago and new york/new jersey in the 90s, sounds near her heart. these are the roots revisited and brought back to the future of house.
