Shall Not Fade
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: 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: 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: 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: 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!

Review: Following on from his recent Pathfinder release, Mani Festo returns to Shall Not Fade. The title track is a fast-paced electro track, powered by lead weight kicks and insistent percussion. Adding to the suspenseful feeling are the freaked-out vocals that Mani Festo weaves through the arrangement. "Grass Snake" is a driving but distinctive techno track, with Mani Festo dropping a nagging acid groove, which he augments with insistent drum breaks. "Synkron" is more intense, and sounds inspired by early Neil Landstrumm as a pounding techno rhythm is peppered with noisy analogue riffs. Rounding off the release is Addison Groove's jittery, stepping remix of the title track.

Review: Bristol's Shall Not Fade presents a new DJ mix by Polish producer Bartosz Kruczynski aka Earth Trax, who just last week dropped his third LP for the label - The Sensual World. The 13-tracker saw the Warsaw-based producer prove himself as one of the most versatile and consistent producers in the game. This hour long continuous mix, however, proves his abilities behind the decks and comes also the individual tracks. Some of the highlights not limited to: the understated stomp of Trudge's emotive "When The Rain", the airy electro of Tom Vernon's "Disappear" or the ever reliable Harrison BDP taking you aboard the acid express on "Immortal", as well as the mandatory Earth Trax cuts "Trust Me" (dub mix,) "Fireflies" and "Dream Pop".

Review: Whenever we see the Shall Not Fade title hovering above a new LP project, we get very excited here at JunoDownload. This is with good reason as Jaymie Silk arrives with a sumptuous display of electronic mastery entitled 'The Rise & Fall Of Jaymie Silk & Rave Culture', exploring the most broad spectrum of electronic production. We open up with the eerie vocal effects and shuffling rhythms of ;Freedom For Everybody', which sets the tone very well amidst a bed of 808 stabs and glitchy fx, before the more euphoric shuffling breaks of 'The Heat' and intense dancefloor stabs of 'Stop Singing, Start Swinging' are let loose. That feeling of nostalgic euphoria then returns as 'Party Downstairs' really does get the party started, followed closely by the more moogy textures of 'Bad B' and post-funky influenced drum designs of 'Cats Love Drums'. We then explore two final heaters, with the gorgeous vocal processing and carnival-like drum structures of 'Waiting For The Day' and super lofi arrangements of 'Take Time To Breathe' closing out the project with some serious style. Awesome work!

Review: Shall Not Fade rounds off its busiest year to date with a sixth anniversary compilation that's packed to the rafters with previously unreleased tracks from its now sizable family of artists. Also reflective of the sounds showcased by Shall Not Fade's various sub-labels and offshoots, the 24-track set confidently strides between deep two-step (Black Loops), saucer-eyed ambient jungle (Kessler), colourful deep house (Lis Sarocca), lo-fi jack tracks (Cinthie), loopy disco-house (Adelphi Music Factory), jazz-funk flavoured house warmth (Felipe Gordon), analogue-rich broken beat (Yosh), post-UKG heaviness (DJ Crisps), jaunty and jazzy 4/4 garage (DJ Swagger) and the kind of smile-inducing, huggable dancefloor goodness that defies simple categorization (Tilman and Phonk D).

Review: Since making his debut in 2015, Laurence Guy has barely put a foot wrong. In the process, he's delivered a string of fine releases for the likes of Church, Mule Musiq, Cin Cin, Studio barnhus and, most frequently, Shall Not Fade. His latest EP for the latter label is another gem-filled treat. The EP's most potent dancefloor-centric moments - the stomping, saucer-eyed, dreamy deep house-goes-acid techno wonder that is 'Your Good Times Are Here' and the twisted, sample-heavy oddity that is 'Yeh Good, You?' - are simply superb, while the quirkier, more downtempo bonus cuts (mournful, reverb-heavy piano ambient number 'Mutual Disappointment is a Terrible Thing' and the cut-and-paste, jazz-tinged loop oddity 'I Know You Feel Sad') are interesting and entertaining in equal measure.

Review: As always with Shall Not Fade, we are in for an absolute treat with this fabulous five track display from Viggo Dyst, exploring harmonic structure and spacy sound design. We begin with the title track 'Everything Else Is Secondary', which turns out to be a stunning creation, combining pitch-affected vocal lines with glittering harmonies and 2-step style drums with fantastic results. This track then receives two remixes, with Baltra flipping it into a more stripped back UKG roller and 1-800 Girls giving it a slightly breaksy rethink. We then dive into the colour soundscaping of 'Time After Time', which continues that breakbeat vibe, before 'Weekend Special' combines beautiful keys with vibrant drum beats to see us out in style!

Review: Shall Not Fade's recently launched Basement Tracks series has already established itself as a "must-check" for those who like their dance music bold, forthright and exceedingly weighty. The latest offering naturally ticks these boxes and sees Rotterdam rising star Kessler deliver a sextet of club-ready but pleasingly otherworldly dancefloor explorations. Opener 'Lambert Rise' is a strikingly busy and intricately programmed late-night drum & bass mutation, while 'Moonlight Branches' successfully fuses vintage jungle breaks, 90s IDM chords and the immersive lusciousness of old school ambient techno. Elsewhere, 'Old Wives Tales' is a deep two-step garage treat, 'Only a Fool' adds chopped loon bird noises and lilting violins to a stomping psy-trance groove, and 'Kwaku' is a drowsy deep breaks roller.

Review: The Shall Not Fade team have assembled something pretty special here as OTIK delivers five tracks of stunning soundscaping ability, kicking off with the beautiful arpeggio stutters and glistening vocal flexes of 'Night Visions'. From here, the title track 'Zero-Sum Game' unleashes some vibrant percussive lines atop pounding sub layers, before the soothing sitar action of 'Silhouetta' slides into play. The pace then quickens significantly with the shuffling rhythms of 'Falling Forward', with 'Neuron Blossom' providing the perfect outro through some icy harmonic mastery.

Review: Two years on from an impressive first appearance on Lobster Theremin, Luz1e transfers to Shall Not Fade and notches up another rock solid label debut. She hits the ground round running with title track "Ridin", a bustling chunk of ghetto-house influenced breakbeat deepness full of warm chords and cut-up vocal snippets, before joining the dots between two-step garage, breakbeat and drowsy deepness on the arguably even better "Hyperfunk (Deep Break Cut)". She reaches for the alien, acid style electronics on the dreamy ghetto-tech rush of "Damn Boi", while "Early Reflections" is another ear-catching trip into woozy, glassy-eyed breakbeat territory complete with glacial pads and redlined analogue bass.
