PRE-ORDER 'A RAVER'S DIARY' HERE ISOLADE DUSTY KID – ‘A RAVER’S DIARY’ RE-ISSUE RELEASE DATE: 15th MAY One of Italy’s most talented electronic music exports, Sardinian Dusty Kid makes a return with the re-issue of his 2009 classic Techno album – ‘A Raver’s Diary’. The audio will be made available on vinyl for the first time on 15th May. As well as delivering a number of remixes from a range of electronic producers, that breathe new life into the album. Paolo Alberto Lodde AKA Dusty Kid also releases a package of never before heard B-Sides and singles. To mark the start of the project, tracks ‘Moto Perpetuo (Heat Engine)’ and ‘Pluk’ (Nicolas Bougayeff Remixes), is available to stream now.   Since its release in the late ‘00s, ‘A Raver’s’ Diary’ his set the mark for groove ridden melodic techno LPs. As it surpasses it’s 10th Anniversary, Isolade help to deliver a full package on double vinyl. Set to include new remixes, versions and B-sides; never before heard.   First appearing in the early-00’s with a string of well received releases, Dusty Kid was one of many sparks that helped usher in a new era for electronic music. With releases on globally esteemed labels such as Systematic, Bpitch Control and Mau5trap, he saw himself catapulted into the spotlight and saw support come from key international artists such as Richie Hawtin. Dusty Kid had grown organically into his global position and saw himself become a permanent fixture on the international touring circuit.   Upon its release in 2009, the album demonstrated Dusty Kid’s extraordinary flair for producing intelligent dance music. A truly versatile and classically trained musician, his eclecticism and ability to embrace diverse sounds is what has made his music so timeless and sees ‘A Raver’s Diary’ continue to electrify and inspire.   Merging direct dancefloor tracks with deep and hypnotic productions, ‘A Ravers Diary’ inspires trance inducing atmospheres that make the music engaging from the first beat. ‘The Fugue – Contrapunctus X’ pays homage to Bach’s experimentation with monothematic instrumentation. The track directly references the theory as the basis to the track with two pieces of music occurring dependently together. Instantly commanding the attention of the listener with a melodic intro and austere bassline, Dusty Kid delivers this as a darker version of the original.   Reworking original ‘Moto Perpetuo’, Dusty Kid’s ‘Heat Engine’ rework reveals an uncompromising techno track laced with trance elements. Meanwhile Freedom Fighters, adds progressive psytrance to his remix of ‘Moto Perpetuo’. The ‘Klin (Enaxri Point)’ rework is pitched up, embodying a deep electro beat, whilst ‘Amazon’ infuses ambient tones with emotive breaks. Filled with melancholy ‘America’ is a 17-minute-long opus – a lengthy piece that calls for its own ‘director’s cut’.   ‘Cowboys Titles’ slows down the tempo on the album, layering synths amongst dreamy tone and edges down further with the Winter In June remix. Upping the ante, producer Ferlin’s remix of ‘Cowboy’s’ invokes acid lines whilst Andrea Cossu adds ambient and deep techno sounds. On ‘Nemur’ Dusty Kid utilises lyrics and vocals in a folk-pop techno crossover. The track receives its own acoustic cover on the project alongside a mystic remix from Grizzly and a classical ‘Walls Of Guitar’ version from Italian producer Odyzë.   Canadian Nicolas Bougayeff looks back at his roots in 90’s rave music with his remix of ‘Pluk’, delivering both his two ‘Journey’ and ‘Tool’ remixes. Italian composer and violinist Vito Gatto also remixes ‘Pluk’, delivering a string heavy track. ‘Lynchesque’ also receives a trio of remixes from Italian electronic artist Marascia, Isreali Eitan Reiter and Acid Techno Pioneer, Robert Babicz.   2020’s re-issue holds a diverse range of remixes, new versions and remasters from both Dusty Kid and friends. ‘A Raver’s Diary’ is set to reaffirm the prodigal Dusty Kid and his abilities as an electronic music artist.   Dusty Kid’s ‘A Raver’s Diary’ Vinyl Release will be available 15th May via Isolade.

Uprooting oneself and moving to another continent is no mean feat, yet for Copenhagen-based house producer and live artist, Sonny, a move from his home country Australia all the way to Denmark was a necessary one. Settling in Copenhagen and becoming instantly engrossed with both the underground scene there and Danish culture in general, Sonny now brings together notes from this journey into debut album, Union: Integration Of The Shadow.     At the core of Danish and wider Scandinavian culture, there lies the sentiments of acting with intent and for the greater good, whether this be for the better good of the environment or the better good of others. This undoubtedly influenced Sonny positively, so much so that his previous production efforts leading up to and including this new album project have included an upmost focus on quality, making music with purely analogue formats, in its rawest forms with the view to seeking out the fullest sounds. All released via his own label, Northern Underground Records, Sonny represents and pushes forward a Copenhagen-based house sound, not usually associated with the capital city most well-known for its pacey BPM techno exports.   Having previously only released in EP formats, Sonny found the longer form of an album far better suited to tell the story of his journey in Scandinavia thus far, one that he seeks to continue into the future. Throwing himself into absorbing and exploring Copenhagen and the wider culture, those initial experiences in finding ones way are reflected in ‘Euromantics’; a psychedelic offering, gently weaving musical textures representative of the bliss and freedom with new prospects at ones fingertips.   Referencing new-found cultures, Sonny paints a picture of seasonal changes in hobbies and activities spent alongside friends. ‘Transient Feeling’, inspired by hiking culture and filled with playful, bouncy pads reminiscent of a hiking rhythm, bounding across beautiful Scandinavian planes. ‘Ejskö’ named after the destination of a Swedish mid-summer holiday with friends, paying tribute to the Swedish tradition of Midsommer, in which they celebrate the sun being at its highest point in the sky.   Elsewhere, we hear stories of Sonny finding love with his now, fiancé. Opening the album with ‘The Feels (Eclectic Dreams)’ that speaks openly of his feelings for her and embellished with deep and warming chords. Whilst the 90’s jazz and jungle infused, ‘Liquid Phase’ speaks of them moving in together and the process of folding into one another, getting to know everything about each other, being emotional in front of each other; essentially becoming one person.   Dipping into Sonny’s Japanese house inspirations, ‘Ozone’ injects funky arpeggios and chords whilst also demonstrating his extensive production methods seeking to get the most out of his hardware; a new patch in his Waldorf Bloefeld taking the direction.   Looking back to his home country, Australia, field recordings of the Australian Kookaburra bird can be heard among flitting melodies and the vocals of Sonny’s Swedish fiancé in her native language, on the forward-focused acid-licked vibrations of ‘This Will Be Our Year’; seeing both cultures marry together. Whilst ‘The Great Unknown’ reflects on Sonny leaving Australia and the journey ahead of him, seeing things out with a final camping and surfing trip for a final fix of Australian nature. Rounding off, Sonny links up with close Melbourne friend, Kris Baha on ‘Sensory Systems’ for a cinematic cut; having relocated to Berlin at the same time as Sonny also made his move to Copenhagen, the pair find it advantageous to collaborate together on visits to their respective new cities.   From the sun-soaked shores of Australia to the chillier and often darker backdrops of Scandinavia, Sonny’s ‘Union: Integration Of The Shadow’ LP represents the marriage of those differences and how they have further molded him as a person; seeing beautiful overlaps in his native Australian cultures and those new-found in his now Scandinavian base.   Tracklist: 1. Sonny – The Feels (Eclectic Dreams) 2. Sonny – Ozone 3. Sonny – Transient Feeling 4. Sonny – The Great Unknown 5. Sonny – This Will Be Our Year 6. Sonny – Euromantics 7. Sonny – Liquid Phase 8.

Natty Wylah

London’s Natty Wylah drops new single ‘4 Siblings’

Where are you currently based? Toronto, Canada  How did you first start playing music? I first started playing music through singing. My dad used to spin Motown records and eventually my mom saw my passion for music and bought me a guitar. I then started playing and posting covers on youtube. Might I add, *cringey* covers. I’ve taken them all down and stored them in a memory bank that I hope to never access again! lol What have you been working on recently? Writing, writing, writing! I spend my days either in front of my computer and keyboard, or with a guitar in hand, with a notepad. Staying home has freed me from a lot of distractions that would otherwise keep me from writing. Now I can focus on music….and baking cookies. Your new single 'Go Slow' is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting? Falling in love inspired the content of the song, I can’t say any specific genre or type of music inspired the sonic sound of the track, we just did what felt fitting for the melody and lyrical content. It all happened very naturally! But I definitely wanted to make sure that the song had some bounce to it, you have to be able to dance.  How did you go about writing the music for Go Slow? How did you approach the recording/production process? This song started with the melody and words “go slow, slow, slow”, that you already hear in the finished product! Eric and I put some demo production behind it just to get a vibe, then brought the track to our producer/songwriting partner Benjamin Nudds. After that, we started working on the production with Joel Stouffer.  Where and when did you record and who with? Benjamin Nudds, Joel Stouffer. That’s the dream team right there! We just all click, it’s like they know what my ears are looking for even before I do. We work so well together.  What programs/instruments did you use? We use logic and ableton mostly for production and just a keyboard or guitar when we’re trying to get a particular vibe. How did the concept for Go Slow music video come about? We wanted the video to feel sensual, empowering, passionate and hypnotic! The neon lights and the backseat of a car filled with smoke is sexy, and the darkness of the night is alluring.  It wasn’t so much of a concept, but a feeling we were trying to evoke in the visuals - I think it came together perfectly! Where and when did you film and who with? The one and only Kelsi Lux! Look her up, she’s a dope creator! I can’t tell you where we filmed it, it’s a secret location ;) sh!! You have an EP coming out later this year, please tell us about the progress and what we can expect: It’s so funny how they say it takes your whole life to make your first album! Well this isn't even our first album and it feels like it’s been a lifelong process haha. The  process has been an amazing learning experience because we’ve been able to grow through it and do so many cool things as a result. This ep is about just that actually- Personal growth, Self-reflection and love. What do you like to do away from music? Photography, mostly digital, but lately I’ve gotten really into film. I just love how it’s so tangible. It looks timeless which is always very appealing to me! Who are you listening to at the moment? Anything that makes me want to dance really- a lot of Dancehall/Reggae/soca, I love it so much!  Oh! Check out stefflon don if you haven’t already, if you haven’t heard her on Boasty, you’re missing out! What's planned for 2020? Hopefully being allowed to leave my house haha. I want to play a lot of shows! And record all this new music I’ve been working on! Favourite food and place to hangout? Anywhere there is Pho and beer! Haha To be honest, any Asian cuisine is my favourite! I’m obsessed! I don’t really have a favorite hangout spot… Any cool bar in the city really! I’m not picky, I just want good people around me. That’s all that matters to me. https://www.facebook.com/aisforarrows/

Jacob Asher Interview

Rochester-born, Atlanta-raised recording artist Jazz Ingram today shares his new single ‘2AM’. The single is available to buy and stream today on all partners via b4. Musing on his potential retirement from the party scene, 21-year-old Ingram considers the next best alternative to being out at 2am: being home at 2am. “People party like it’s their profession, you know,” he remarks. “When I wrote this song I was really at the beginning of my ‘I could not go out’ phase. This song is kind of a record of my intentions changing from being out all the time to where I’m at now.” ‘2AM’ is produced by NYC-based hip hop producer and Princess Nokia collaborator Owwwls and is the latest addition to Ingram’s now dependable output of punchy rap gems - or “diary entries”, as he calls them. His growing catalogue of tracks covers everything from his undying love of hip hop (‘Blue Gatorade’) to cathartic midnight freestyles (‘U Turn’), all released through his label partner, the buzzing NYC-based imprint b4. Born the son of a poet in Rochester, NY, Jazz Ingram’s proficiency with words developed at a young age. Moving with his immediate family to Atlanta, one Jazz’s earliest exposures to rap was via his cousin Audra the Rapper who encouraged him to rap over preset beats. Uploading his first single at the age of 15 - entitled ‘Make Em Bounce’ - helped build Jazz a small but devoted online following. Now, with 2 EP’s worth of weird and wonderful tracks under his belt, Jazz’s latest cut further cements his cult status as one of Atlanta’s most exciting new voices.
