Review: As her relatively recently Heist and Aus releases proved, Cinthie Christl has become an expert at creating nostalgic-sounding tracks that offer subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) references to US house cuts of the 1990s. On this debut Shall Not Fade outing, Christl continues in this vein, first via the rolling beats, undulating analogue bass and spacey musical motifs of 'Tough Times'. She then joins the dots between late '90s Strictly Rhythm dubs and bouncy New Jersey garage grooves ('Shuffle & Swing'), before laying down a stellar slice of dubby and sub-heavy deep house hypnotism ('Bossa').'Time To F', a breezy and sun-splashed affair marked out by steppers-influenced deep house beats, squelchy bass and restless riffs, rounds of the EP in fine style.

Review: Whenever a new Shall Not Fade drop arrives in the store, the crowds tend to gather and the excitement rises drastically, with this latest two tracker offering from Duke Boara being another experimental dive across the UKG spectrum. We open up with the warbling bassline action and blissful soundscaping of 'Brain Theory', a weighty title track that explores not only hard hitting subby-pressure, but also a vibrant backdrop of synth pads and unorthodox melody. On the flip to this, we then jump into 'Sapphire', a higher energy scuttler, focussed in floating synthy flutters and booming chord progressions for a much more abstract b-side. Very tidy!

Review: The highly acclaimed Shall Not Fade label is rapidly approaching its momentous 100th release, and its 96th offering exudes an infectious atmosphere of celebration and elation. Collaborating for this fresh release are the Munich based DJ and producer duo Rhode & Brown and Berliner Kid Simius, delivering an exhilarating fusion of uplifting piano stabs and nostalgic 90s dance vibes in the track titled "Eurostar". The musical journey takes an Italo-inspired turn with "Delfino Bianco", presenting a melodic and breezy retro-future house cut that captivates the senses. Slowing down the tempo, "Suite Tropical" offers a blissful and carefree slice of sunset house that evokes a soothing warmth within. Additionally, the package includes two remixes of "Eurostar": one by Jex Opolis, who amplifies the energy to new heights, and another by Demi Requisimo, infusing a garage-inflected groove with a raw, scuffed-up aesthetic.

Review: Columbian producer Felipe Gordon joins forces with Belgian artist Krewcial in an exciting collaborative EP, immersing listeners into their shared sonic universe. Inspired by their mutual passion for cycling, this EP takes you on a thrilling journey through various textures and terrains, transcending into moments of luminosity while delving into deep atmospheres. The EP commences with "1972", a captivating opening that blends intricate percussion with a compelling, driving bassline, akin to conquering steep hills during a cycling expedition. Next up is "Dying", featuring uplifting choir vocals that infuse a gospel-inspired sensibility into the undeniably funky bassline. Following is "Answer", navigating between clean and satisfying kick drums, interspersed with sharp snares while Session Victim is offering a beautifully ethereal reinterpretation.
Review: MaxIon, a scene newcomer, makes a massive splash with his debut release, the Curvatures LP, on Shall Not Fade. This extraordinary debut full-length showcases MaxIon's undeniable talent and leaves us questioning why such a gifted artist has only just emerged onto the music scene. With its intricate compositions and mesmerising soundscapes, Curvatures represents housey, IDM and UK-rave inspired techno at its contemporary finest. With a hip beats to kick, allow yourself to be enchanted by the sonic mastery on display and eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this emerging talent.

Review: Dimmish's Every Other Day is a stunning album that showcases his mastery of minimal house. The album consists of 11 dynamic tracks, each one a gem in its own right, taking the listener on a journey through different moods and atmospheres. From the mysterious and captivating "UFO" to the uplifting and energetic "Sayonara Wall Street", the Italian DJ/producer's sound is flawless, with crisp drums, warm basses and subtle melodies. Elsewhere, there's retro house sounds with infectious vocal samples on "Ego Land" and "Kooky", while the acid lines in "Vae" showcase his talent and creativity.
Review: Buoyed by outings on Dirtybird, 8Bit Records and Crosstown Rebels, long-serving Leeds duo Audiojack make their bow on Shall Not Fade. They're in confident, all-action mode from the word go, peppering a funk-fuelled breakbeat with new age ambient melodies, mutant bass and eyes-closed female vocals on lead cut 'Hooked', before exploring dreamier and more psychedelic breakbeat house pastures on 'Rise Up' (check the speed garage influenced bassline that drops midway through). Elsewhere, 'Haze' is a subtly bassline-influenced chunk of tech-tinged deep house heaviness, and 'Bring It Back' is an energy-packed fusion of mind-mangling tech-house sounds, tactile chords, female vocal samples and warped speed garage bass.

Review: New on Shall Not Fade this week is the latest offering by ascendant Belfast-based talent Robbie Doherty, hot off recent releases on Meta, PIV and Oldskool. The Sick n' Tired EP features five upfront cuts aimed squarely at the dancefloor; there's some tripped-out party staring retro techno on the title track, he then channels in to that second summer of love vibe on the euphoric rave nostalgia of "Dream Of Me", (which benefits from a much needed extended mix later on) and rolling deep on the smooth house flavor of "Tantrum".

Review: Early in her bourgeoning career, Amy Dabbs' jungle-influenced music was championed by Special Request and found its way onto the flash drives of all manner of hot DJs. On 'The Bobcat Special', Dabbs re-focuses on house music, offering up a quartet of peak-time-ready cuts seeped in classic house nostalgia. She sets the tone via the cascading melodies, thickset synth bass, crunchy drums and sustained piano riffs of 'Dandelion Theory', before cannily combining wobbly speed garage bass, stomping beats, dreamy chords and effects-laden spoken word snippets on 'Know My Mind'. Elsewhere, 'Feel It' is a sweaty, breakbeat-driven squelch-a-thon that doffs an oversized baseball cap to rave-era piano house, while 'The Bobcat Special' is a dirty, sub-bass sporting slammer smothered in 'Robin S' organ sounds and swirling synth-strings.

Review: Following last year's EP on Unknown to the Unknown, Third Son aka Joseph Price drops a three-tracker for Shall Not Fade. It kicks off with the shuffling drums and warbling acid of "Head To Toe In Your Own Clothes", with Price weaving in some high-pitched vocals to add an extra, trippy layer. The title track follows in a similar vein as he deploys a booming bass and surging filters in association with tight drum patterns and tweaked 303 lines. "Vibing With the Force of a Thousand Suns" is another superb roller - this time, it's all about the acid soaring in unison with shimmering filters.

Review: Shall Not Fade's annual birthday compilations are always worth a look, not least because they tend to be packed with plenty of previously unreleased material from label regulars, friends and newcomers. This seventh birthday edition - the label's fifth compilation in total - is another epic, with 28 high quality tracks jostling for your attention. The track listing reflects the label's eclectic but largely dancefloor-focused approach, with highlights including the stomping big room techno darkness of Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot's 'Alpha', the organ-rich New Jersey style peak-time house bump of Lis Sarocca's 'Oasis Floor', the bumpin' speed garage revivalism of 'All The Girls' by Main Phase, the warped, MC-sporting two-step wobble of Killjoy and Kwam's 'Active', and the deep and dreamy breaks/two-step fusion of 'Overcome' by Adam BFD.
Review: Following a handful of choice releases on Housewax, Local Talk and her own Bisexuality Exists Records, Dasco makes her bow on esteemed Bristol imprint Shall Not Fade. The Berlin-based Israeli is in prime form on title track 'Powerful Woman', a forceful acid roller propelled forwards by a relentless TB-303 line, clattering TR-909 drums and flashes of trippy synth sounds. It comes backed by raw, squelchy and breathless jack-track 'Acid Queen' and two fab remixes of 'Powerful Woman': a techno meets 'Behaviour'-era Pet Shop Boys chunk of bittersweet deepness from Johannes Volk, and a thrillingly distorted, lo-fi acid-electro revision courtesy of Chicago Skyway. In a word: brilliant!

Review: With garage becoming one of the most popular areas of underground dance music again over the past few years, it is important for producers to be able to stand out among the crowd. This latest offering from the Shall Not Fade crew sees Ramu arrive with a feature length LP project, exploring the best of both garage and breaksy goodness with this 11 track adventure. From the acidic backdrops of 'Ignite' and glistening atmospheric jangles of 'This Creature', to the shuffling percussive patterns of 'Is It Ok' and super digitised designs of 'Soarr, Ramu covers a tonne of ground in a relatively short space of time. Our highlights from this heavyweight selection would include the swampy yet charming synthetic sweeps of 'Timetravels', next to more hard-house inspired drum designs of 'Helix', letting loose more acidic shivers for your eardrums to enjoy. Lovely stuff!
