Shall Not Fade
Review: Here's something to get the attention of even the most jaded of DJs: a collaboration between legendary Spanish DJ/producer Kiko Navarro and Cee ElAssad, one of the genuine rising stars of the global Afrohouse scene. The focal point of the EP is undoubtedly 'Eruption', a melody-rich and picturesque slab of heavily electronic Afrohouse/deep house fusion featuring the gorgeous and memorable lead vocals of Olivia Ambani, a singer Navarro met a few years back while playing a set in Nairobi. Alongside the fantastic full-length mix, we also get instrumental and edited alternatives. Also available in multiple versions is 'Highest Power', a gospel vocal-sampling chunk of throbbing, big room ready late night house sleaze smothered in hand percussion solos, moody riffs and strobe-lit electronics.

Review: Jesse Maas and Litmus bring a playful spirit back into techno with their 'Cheeky Boy EP'. The title track 'Cheeky Boy' starts it off with a groovy bassline and video game sound effects, complemented by a lighthearted vocal that adds charm. What starts as minimal tech house gradually transforms into a high-energy techno jam, making it irresistibly addictive. 'Feel Alive' channels a 90s techno vibe with a catchy organ hook and upbeat, fun sounds that spark nostalgia while keeping the energy fresh. 'D BEAM' stands out for its creative, old-school drum programming--a drum machine workout on steroids. Its spacey, demented sound design adds a clever twist, making it a wild ride. Finally, 'Strike 2' slows things down with a deeper, more melodic deep house groove. Relaxing and jazzy, it's a smooth finish to the EP.

Review: It's always exciting to see Shall Not Fade back in action, and Maroki's latest offering, 'Pit Stop Papi', is a refreshing addition that brings a new wave of energy. This EP kicks off with the title track, 'Pit Stop Papi', which combines infectious rhythms with a catchy hook that sets a lively tone, followed closely by 'We'll Always Have Paris (Maybe)', a lush and melodic journey that provides an ideal sonic contrast to the introduction. Next, 'Bigman Icecream (This Is A Song About Vulnerability)' introduces a playful element through it's heavily reverberated synth lines, while 'Satellite City Showdown' delivers a much wider cinematic experience. Finally, 'We're Going To The Dinosaur Park' adds a fun and adventurous close, making this release a delightful addition to any collection.

Review: Glaswegian DJ and producer Hayley Zalassi's debut EP on Shall Not Fade, "Lose Your Head," is a stunning collection of six tracks that showcase her undeniable talent and unique sound. This EP is a must-have for fans of deep house and psychedelic dance music. "Lose Your Head" is a deep dive into psychedelic dance music that's both subtle and powerful. The EP's tracks are effortlessly crafted, with each cut offering its own unique flavor of dancefloor goodness. One standout track is "Tell Me Why," a refreshing take on the Backstreet Boys' classic. Zalassi's remix strips away the ego and leaves behind a stripped-down, introspective version of the song. It's a testament to her ability to transform familiar tunes into something entirely new and captivating. Hayley Zalassi proved to be a great addition to Shall Not Fade's artist rooster here.

Review: Germany-based Spaniard Kid Simius has enjoyed an unusually eclectic career to date, shuffling between electro-surf fusion (2014 debut album 'Wet Sounds'), smooth tech-house (his 2018 collaboration-heavy album 'Planet Simius') and Balearic-minded deep house eccentricity (last year's collaborative EP alongside Rhode & Brown). So, what vibe has he gone for on 'Jose', his first full-length for Shall Not Fade? For starters, it's sonically vivid and colourful, with the Spanish artist combining thickset grooves (floor-friendly, peak-time-ready and pitched-down) with sparkling instrumentation and nods aplenty to Hi-NRG ('Karaoke'), ghetto-house (Bonaparte collaboration 'Ask For My Number'), hyper-pop, indie-tinged house retro-futurism ('Jos?'), glassy-eyed dance music nostalgia and hyperactive D&B ('Virtua Tennis').

Review: Summer may be fading fast, but nobody told this generation's most prolific deep house producer, Felipe Gordon. The Colombian's latest treat is packed to the rafters with hot, sunny and suitably summery dancefloor workouts - all smothered in dusty samples, nods to jazz and vivid, brilliantly executed ideas. For proof, check the lolloping jazz-house shuffle of opener 'Happy Sunday', or the fizzing, jaunty and kaleidoscopic deep house warmth of 'I'll Find a Way', where his own vocalisations catch the ear. Elsewhere, 'The Lichtenberg Effect' is another jazzy house roller rich in dusty samples and fast-fingered bass guitar, while 'You Can Do It On Your Own' is a genuinely blazed, DJ Cam style trip-hop interlude.

Review: The undeniable Red Axes duo turn some heads by making their way to Shall Not Fade with this UP EP. No doubt the coming together came through some tight in-club networking and the results are deep and satisfying. The lead track gets deep, trippy and acidic - filled with hella tension. Holding down that banging groove and slight dub edge, "Casi O" adds a slightly dubbed out and industrial electro touch to the record. For something hype - check the drum and bleep mangled "Boss" which segues into a slowed down, stripped and chewed "Saturday Night" - think Simian Mobile Disco's Bugged Out mix. Dope!

Review: London-based Verso has long been tipped for success by those within the city's minimal and tech-house community. Shall Not Fade clearly agree, hence snapping up the producer's debut EP. This time round, he's on a funkier and chunkier flex, even if some of his trademark tech-house touches - trippy electronics, intricate percussion programming and so on - remain. For proof, check lead cut 'Love On The 15th', where deep bass and razor-sharp TB-303 'acid' motifs catch the ear, the Korg M-1 organ stabs, dreamy pads, cut-up female vocal snippets and crunchy drums of Charlie Iapicone hook-up 'Around SS9' and the muscular-but-loved-up excellence of 'Warehouses at River Front'. The jaunty, rolling and classic-sounding THEOS remix of 'Love on the 15th' is also a nostalgic, peak-time-ready treat.

Review: Felipe Gordon, a well-established figure on the Shall Not Fade label, makes a triumphant return with his seventh release, the "My Legs Are Numb" EP. This latest effort solidifies Gordon's reputation for delivering captivating house music with a unique flair. The EP opens with the title track, "My Legs Are Numb," where Gordon channels the deep house intensity reminiscent of Moodymann. The track's hypnotic grooves and rich textures set a high bar for what's to come. This deep and immersive soundscape is a testament to Gordon's ability to blend soulful elements with a dancefloor-ready vibe. "Sander's Journey" follows, offering a more laid-back, melodic experience. The track's serene and soothing atmosphere provides a beautiful contrast to the intensity of the opener, showcasing Gordon's versatility and melodic sensibilities. It's a perfect example of how he can create compelling narratives within his music. On "Do You Ever Miss Me?" Gordon injects extra drive into the drums, creating a more dynamic and energetic piece. The inclusion of a sultry saxophone adds a layer of sophistication and soul, making it a standout track that melts into the listener's consciousness with ease. The EP concludes with "A Perfectly Calmed Felipe," a jazzy, laid-back number that wraps up the journey on a serene note. The track's smooth rhythms and gentle melodies encapsulate Gordon's ability to infuse his music with a sense of calm and introspection.

Review: James Denny may not get the media coverage of some of his contemporaries, but his track record - which includes singles on REKIDS, Hot Creations and Crosstown Rebels - is exemplary. It makes sense, then, that Shall Not Fade boss Kieran Williams has added him to the label's ever-expanding roster. Opener 'Dans La Nuit', a charging and sample-rich slab of peak-time house joy rich in jazzy guitar licks, bouncy beats and 'Knights of the Jaguar' sty;e synth strings, is the pick of a very strong bunch, but the other two tracks on show are excellent too. King Crowney collaboration 'Dance With Me' is a sizzling and humid, percussion-and-trumpet-heavy slab of Latin house hedonism, while 'Anni 80' sees him create hands-aloft gold out of unfussy house beats and synth-heavy samples from a long-forgotten 1980s treat.

Review: Next up on Shall Not Fade, a swing back into the more breaks-inspired side of their garage roots, welcoming the explosive combination of both Maroki & Hypnos for a glittering two-tracker, steeped in original underground flavour. We open up with the wistful pad sweeps and charming synthetic backdrops of 'Sad Legs', a steadily evolving masterpiece that showcases the emotive side of garage and breaks. On the flip, another synth-heavy display of sonic wizardry in 'Glass Axe', with this creations melodies almost working like a retro sci-fi soundtrack, focussing on eerie reverbs and electronic instrumentation for a very classy B-side.

Review: Although it might still be too soon to call Texan producer DJ Poolboi a legend, his music is certainly starting to lean the way of legendary, with lo-fi house the artist's trademark. It's the boi's third album in four years across three labels and first on Shall Not Fade in which he's become something of a figure head, and Into The Blue Light signals potential for AOTY (Album of the Year). Filled with deep and impactful emotion, melancholy and warmth, it's a long player that pulls at the heart-strings while firing up the dancefloor with chords, keys and melodies that hit those sweet spots, while booming in kick, bass and drums. Highlights include opener, "Won't Let You Ruin My Mood", the pop-aqua rave of "For The Last Time" and some piano-driven Moby inspirations in "The Joy You Once Felt".

Review: Following years spent flitting between labels including Toy Tonics and Razor N Tape Reserve, COEO make their bow on Shall Not Fade. In keeping with the Bristol label's approach to digital releases, it's an expansive and action-packed affair. Title track 'Planet Earth' is one of the Munich-based duo's more forthright cuts to date - a thrusting, bongo-laden techno tempo rave workout propelled forwards by an insanely good (and rubbery) electronic bassline and psychedelic acid lines aplenty - while 'Satellite Bay' sounds like a cross between early '90s synth-pop, Kraftwerk and Euro-dance. Elsewhere, 'Rush Hour' gloriously joins the dots between hip-house, vintage MK productions and the Pet Shop Boys' Relentless' album; 'Kawasaki Racing Club' combines breakbeats and early UK progressive house sounds; and 'The Stage Is Yours' is a head-nodding, midtempo acid breaks affair.

Review: Alan Fitzpatrick's latest release starts with the crackle of vinyl and dubbed out drums on "Patience". It marks the beginning of a track - and a release - that is less characteristic for the storied producer. Gentle pulses and a rickety back beat guide these elements, leading the listener to a hypnotic place where woozy chords prevail. Along the way, "Patience" drops into seductive breakdowns. Fitzpatrick teams up with Reset Robot on "Mule Subjective". Led by robust break beats, it sees the duo weave swirling melodies into the arrangement. "Neptune Realms" is even further removed from Fitzpatrick's typical sound, with serene ambient textures flowing and ebbing mournfully.

Review: The Shall Not Fade parade continues to roll forward, with an explosive collection of remixes now on display from Chrissy, giving 'You Don't Have To Worry' a number of top quality refixes, perfect for sending dances nationwide into an absolute frenzy. First, the 'Big Ang Garage' remix takes the track down a breaks-driven, nostalgia-flood avenue of swiftness, focussing on glittering chords and tidy drum work, before the 'Big Ang Rave' version pulls things back for a more piano-driven feeling. Finally, the 'Paul & Shark' remix gives the track an even sharper feeling, focussing on clicky percussion and heavy vocal delays, to round off a top spectrum of spicy reworks.

Review: Shall Not Fade has reached the ripe old age of eight, a cause for celebration in these troubled times for artists and labels. To mark the occasion, the Bristol-based imprint has offered up this vast, 34-track compilation featuring new and unheard cuts from its ever-expanding family of artists. Naturally, it not only reflects Shall Not Fade's output, but also that of its various offshoots and series. So, there's plenty of high-grade deep house and immersive, breakbeat-driven deepness, but also surging, high-tempo rave-era nostalgia (see the tracks by TESTPRESS and Sheffield sorts Adelphi Music Factory), bassline (ABSOLUTE & HRSN), futurist techno (Marc Brauner), deep electro (Halo), hip-hop revivalism (Lydia Eisenbatter), progressive house and trance-influenced loveliness (MNL), and much more besides.

Review: After a run of releases on his own SlothAcid imprint, Sacha Robotti makes his bow on Bristol-based Shall Not Fade. Interestingly, it features a clutch of collaborations, JSMN adding dead-eyed, stylised spoken word vocals to the hands-aloft, increasingly percussive piano house rush of 'U+I', before Tessla joins Robotti on two tracks: the swirling electronics, restless builds and energetic releases of 'That Feelin' and the more warped, heavyweight and mind-mangling peak-time sweat of 'Be Your Baby'. Elsewhere, 'All I Know' is another rushing, seemingly colossal slab of mid-90s piano house energy, and 'Deeper Love' sees Robotti make merry with a classic house acapella, heavy house drums and raw bass.

Review: Introducing MNL. aka the artists formally known as My Nu Leng. With a rich history spanning 12 years, Tommy Jackson and Jammo Irving embark on a 'new chapter' introducing experimental electronic vibes under the MNL. moniker. Their For The Longest Time EP on Shall Not Fade offers a glimpse into the pair's newfound evolution. The first single taken from it "Somerset Drift" expertly blends elements of techno, garage, and breaks, crafting a distinctive UK underground sound with chopped vocals. "So True" showcases a crowd-pleasing fusion of garage, jungle, drum and bass, breaks, and dubstep, encapsulating the duo's commitment to their original roots, while "Lesson Learned" featuring Collette Warren pins down a straight up 2-step groove with classic UK-inspired vocals. With MNL. now taking centre stage, the pair's evolution and enduring passion for drum 'n' bass and bass styles remains evident, ensuring a dynamic and promising musical journey for the new years ahead.

Turning in a luscious four track EP, it brings with it one-and-a-half collaborations, the first being the lead cut - "Please Come To My Show" - with Leo Pol, who not only co-produces but also lends his soulful vocals to the mix; with the second being a remix from Berlin house darling Cinthie of the track "Up In The Sky". With a strong '90s mid-west and Chicago sound permeating this EP, get deep and smoove with "DX7 Together" with that real town funk bassline and undeniable deepness. Welcome back Kolter.

Review: As always with Shall Not Fade, we have a vibrant collection of rollers to enjoy, this time seeing Pagan take centre stage across four party-starting originals. First up, Bailey Ibbs lends a hand on the euphoria-inducing nostalgia of 'Another Lover', a luscious landscape of glittering vocal chops and icey synth work, before 'Take You Back' gives us a spacious landscape to enjoy. More breaksy goodness next as 'Falling' once again unloads a stunning backdrop of vocal reverberations and smooth sub pulses, painting a thousand pictures as it moves, with the more glitchy-style synth work of 'Breathe' then rounding the project out with a more unique twist.

Review: After inviting us to stay 'Out All Night' on his 2022 Shall Not Fade label debut, Fred P has decided to soundtrack a deep house 'Day Break' on his welcome return to the prolific Bristol imprint. He begins with 'High Rise', where swirling chords, gentle piano motifs and a booming bassline rise above a locked-in house beat, before taking us deeper into immersive, bass-heavy deep house hypnotism on the exceptional 'Only Subs'. 'Get It On' is a more sweat-soaked affair marked out by low register acid lines, energy-packed drums and short melodic loops, while the 'Rhythms In The Place Beats Edit' of 'Only Subs' offers a dancefloor dub style tribal house workout for those who love percussion and mind-mangling, effects-laden vocal samples.

Review: Almost three years to the day from his last outing for Shall Not Fade, a contribution to their occasional 'Basement Trax' series, Huxley returns to KW's prolific imprint with a rock-solid four-track EP. The long-serving producer kicks things off in style via 'Cuttin' Corners', a bouncy, jazzy and breezy chunk of UKG-influenced deep house warmth, before opting for a darker, more excitable and warehouse-ready sound on certified throb-job 'Give Me Love'. Arguably even better is the tracky, hypnotic and percussion-rich deep tribal house number 'MYHEART', which is the kind of thing we think Junior Vasquez could have played at the Sound Factory, while 'Love Lifting' is a swirling, stomping, all-action treat.

Review: If record labels are extended musical families, then Shall Not Fade's is bigger than most. Viggo Dyst is perhaps not the most high-profile member of that vast and growing family, but the Swedish producer is certainly an active one. This two-tracker marks his third outing on the Bristol-based imprint in less than two years. It boasts a candidate for the most celebratory and life-affirming club cut of 2023 - the gorgeous, 130 BPM house romp that is 'Did We Break Up', where rushing piano motifs, colourful chords, cut-up vocal samples and an addictive bassline catch the ear - and a deeper, more intergalactic-sounding gem called 'You Got'. Built around a minimalist, custom-made broken house-meets-two-step beat, ultra-spacey pads and hip-hop vocal samples, it's a genuinely glassy-eyed treat.

It's an excitable and pleasingly varied set all told, with Winkels sprinting between sweat-soaked techno-funk ('DHL Expressure'), UK garage-meets-Mood II Swing heaviness ('Back To OPZ'), post-bassline UKG/techno fusion ('It's a Lo', 'Lost Art Orly'), organ-sporting chunky house weightiness ('Material Views'), loose-limbed London style tech-house grooves (the bass-heavy 'Ain't You'), and bleeping deep garage goodness ('Liquid Stick').
