Tracklist
A1. Lady Chann - Hard Drive / A2. Rapha - Kudumdum Riddim
B1. [R3LL Remix] / B2. [R3LL Instrumental]
Lady Chann & Rapha team up for 'Hard Drive'…

The UK's 'number one dancehall queen' returns with a storming Carnival heater called 'Hard Drive'. 'Back it up, hard drive' is the command from the Lady on this minimal dancehall rhythm, which packs in solid sub-bass, a bark, and some well-placed/spaced-out percussion.

The producer is the Bern, Switzerland born and raised Raphaël 'Rapha' Gasser, who became hooked on dancehall after hearing a mixtape by Berlin-based Supersonic Sound and has gone on to collaborate with the genre mainstays like I-Octane, Sheba, Kiprich and more.

On the flip B-side is the remix by Newark-based Jersey Club original R3LL, upping the BPM and sure to keep forward thinking dance-floors bubbling.

Kick N Clap is the record label founded by Django Django's Dave Maclean.

Short info:
After putting out releases from the likes of UK rave legend Warlock and Baltimore rapper Rye Rye produced by Bullion, Dave Maclean of Django Django's Kick + Clap label announces Tom Furse's Run To Me suite with Because Music, due out 9th October. On Run To Me Furse has mapped out the EP as one opus divided into five cohesive parts. Referencing early techno it has one foot in Cologne and the other in Detroit, with its tightly worked, precise machino-florescence, condensed and upfront, and free of the pomposity that abounds in the genre. A sound enamored with Kraftwerk, Juan Atkins and Yello, it underpins a latent narrative on themes of love, machines and obliteration. Furse elaborated further on the inspiration behind the EP: "When I sit down in the studio I'm not always sure where it's going to go, really I just have that drive to create and I use that to explore sounds that interest me. It's a release of energy, no agenda, just expression. The driving visual idea behind this EP was very Sci Fi-based, I had this notion of robots being called to arms ("run to me") by a mother robot, in order to collect suns to build a giant engine powered by 20,000 suns. I know it's not really apparent in the songs, but visual ideas like that drive me forward when I'm making music, it just seems to make it easier, like putting sound to film. " Continuing a stint on NTS as well as remixing for the likes of Sebastian Tellier, Django Django & Connan Mockasin, Furse's ability to maintain a frenetic work rate with a steady lack of concern about genre and readymade platforms or avenues of thought, means the future is a tantalizing prospect for The Horrors man turned solo artist.

Short info:
Rye Rye - real name Ryeisha Berrain - began performing at the age of 16, and a chance meeting with Blaqstarr resulted in their 2006 club hit 'Shake It To The Ground', heralding an impressive list of collaborations including Diplo, Robyn, Toddla T, M.I.A. and more, with Rye Rye touring with the latter throughout 2007 and 2008 and appearing in the video for her global smash 'Paper Planes'. This time she's jumping on a spidery beat from mercurial West London producer and DEEK label boss Bullion aka Nathan Jenkins…
"I found an old MP3 player when I was back at my folks' house, in with a load of my old stuff, and it had this weird track on it… a dancehall rhythm made with a didgeridoo sample. It was labeled 'Bum Spider' and I tried for ages to google it and couldn't find anything (googling 'bum spider' brought some strange results) so I put a tweet out describing it but… nothing. Then my manager, who knows the producer Bullion, told me it was by him and that he must have sent it to me ages ago! Anyway, I called Bullion up and said I had to release this track because I'd become obsessed with it. Rye Rye came to mind immediately for a top line so I got in touch and she loved the track so got on it and came back with 'Keep Up'." - DAVE MACLEAN, KICK + CLAP
Bullion's productions are full of distinctive rhythmic arrangements and unexpected changes - owing to a short attention span and acute attention to detail. With a slew of releases on One-Handed music, he drew the attention of Young Turks, releasing 'You Drive Me To Plastic' in 2011 and soon after, R&S, revealing his own voice on 2012's hypnotic 'Say Arr Ee'. Forthcoming is 'Rooster', a mini album for joint release on Greco-Roman and DEEK. Alongside his solo output Nathan produces and writes with other artists. His collaborations include Gwilym Gold, Laura Groves & Tic Zogson (as Nautic) and Jesse Hackett (as Blludd Relations).

Short Info:
A true child of the rave generation, DJ/producer Warlock's mixtapes and radio show, on the now legendary London pirate station Pulse FM, established his cult status as a stalwart of the early 90's UK dance scene. A true pioneer, in his time Warlock has spearheaded the country's embrace of many, newly emergent sounds.

In the late 90's, Warlock released experimental techno on seminal labels Praxis and Spiral Tribe's Network 23, before a stint as A&R at Kickin Records, where he nurtured release's from techno Gods DJ Hell and Surgeon. In 2002, he launched his own label, Rag & Bone Records, providing a outlet for the emergent sounds of Electro, 2-step and Breakbeat, courtesy of Aaron Spectre, King Cannibal, Kanji Kinetic, Stagga, and of course Warlock himself.

Recently voted in Fact Magazine as one of the most underrated DJ's, recent years have seen Warlock's sonic emissions surface on seminal labels Hypercolour, Fat Hop, Yellow Machines, Frijsfo Beats, Skint and We Buy Gold. He currently hosts a weekly show on London's finest Kool FM, which perfectly showcases his in-depth knowledge of historical dance music, alongside his thirst for new sounds.

Info:
Whilst most will know Dave Maclean as the drummer, producer and de-facto leader from the Mercury-nominated, UK four-piece Django Django, Maclean is first and foremost a DJ and record collector. Maclean's eclectic tastes have long been looking for a suitable outlet and today sees a long-awaited dream finally come to fruition, as Maclean announces the launch of his record label Kick + Clap. Kick + Clap's debut release comes courtesy of fellow Scot producer Neil Landstrumm, with an EP entitled "Knights of Shame". Well known for his early Peacefrog Records' classics such as "Brown by August", Landstrumm has been navigating unchartered musical territories since the 1990's. Circling mostly around experimental techno, Landstrumm is also know for exploring grime and dubstep, long before it was the done thing and has released nine albums across legendary labels such as Peacefrog, Tresor, Mosquito, Planet Mu, Sonic Groove and his own imprint, Scandinavia. "The newly formed Kick & Clap label represents the Knights' music by distributing their triangle generated output which some say jacks so hard, it has to be from Chicago." - Neil Landstrumm
