Review: Fresh from outings on 8Bit and Dirtybird, Audiojack return to the label they established way back in 2010, Gruuv. In keeping with the Yorkshire-raised duo's outings on the imprint, it's a tightly focused and club ready two-tracker. First up is 'Somebody', a rumbling, body-moving slab of 1997 speed garage revivalism - all Armand Van Helden 'dark garage' bass, dark synth strings, echoing vocal snippets and chunky house drums - which sounds like a genuine peak-time anthem in the making. They continue the "arms aloft" vibes on the similarly large title track, 'Release Yourself', which mixes vintage UK garage influences with nods to contemporaneous big room NYC house sounds.
Review: Basile De Surenses' last single, released in the summer of 2023, was an undeniably on-point exploration of the classic disco-house sound. This time round, he channels his inner early '90s raver on a trio of energetic, sweat-soaked workouts. Basile De Surenses first joins the dots between breakbeat-driven hip-house and bass-heavy warehouse workouts on the breathless and brilliant 'AAA', before pitching down a familiar hardcore and jungle break to techno tempo on the wide-eyed, hands-aloft rush of 'BBB' (check the raw rave stabs, looped vocal snippets and boisterous bass). To round things off, the young French producer reverts to jacking 4/4 beats on the excitable and gurning 'Leto Doesn't Want U To Get In Da Club'.

Review: Big Miz makes a triumphant return to Dansu Discs with his latest EP Heartfelt Nonsense - delivering five weighty tracks that epitomise the artist's signature sound. Opening with the collaboration "Glass In My Hand", featuring Bemz, it sets the EPs tone with its deep house groove and hip-hop-infused vocals. Tracks like "All The Time" and "Acid Dreams" showcase Big Miz's knack for blending classic Chicago sounds with his Glaswegian flair, while "Green Baldy" offers a no-nonsense, floor-filling jackin' vibe. Closing with "Yes", Big Miz rounds off the EP with finesse, turning it in with some versatility and infectious beats.
