Jerome Hill returns to the long running Don't label (24 years strong) with a four tracker of big boned Techno/Booty music that swaggers along, at times with tongue in cheek and mainly giving no fucks.

On the A side, taking inspiration from Relief and Dance Mania records, 'All My Friends' meets the bombastic New-New-Beat rave stylings of 'The Ghost Of New Beat' while over on the flip, you're faced with 'Dog Booty', an obscenely filthy Ghetto Techno track that only your dog will understand, before finishing off with the Miami Bass apocalypse that is 'Blip Trick Track'.

Jerome Hill returns with his 5th full EP on the label to warm you up for winter and it’s maybe stylistically, his widest offering yet.

A joyous mash of influences collide and Hill spits them out of the blender with some typically unexpected curveballs.

From the strikingly moody break beat acid of The Warning, to the 8 minute long extended Disco workout of ‘Harlseden Shuffle’. Then on the flip side, a reliably gnarly wedge of Technoey Acid House in ‘Combustion Zone’ and the EP culminates with a tip of the hat to mid nineties House with the rumbling bass and catchy percussion of ‘House Thing’.

Its obvious Jerome’s having fun with this EP and hopefully you will too !

At the very coalface of the UK rave/breakbeat/techno/call it what you like scene since the 1990s, Jerome Hill is something of a hidden treasure amongst the plethora of DJs and producers to have dropped both bangers and bloopers over the ensuing three decades. With minimum of fuss and fanfare, Hill has steered record labels like Super Rhythm Trax, Don’t, Fat Hop and Hornsey Hardcore to revered acclaim, as well as firing out a consistent stream of releases for imprints such as Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Jr, Exalt Records, and I Love Acid, to name but a few. Surprisingly, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is Hill’s debut album after a production career that kicked off in 1998 as one half of Groove Asylum. And its collection of unabashed acid and rave bangers is a perfect fit for the Hypercolour label, whose personnel over the last few years has included Luke Vibert, DMX Krew, Shelley Parker and Gary Gritness. Tracks produced directly for club play; the album features 8 cuts destined to fit in cross-genre sets. With pumping electro cuts such as ‘Deafening Lull’ and ‘Knob Jitter’, four to the floor acid stompers like ‘Walk The Plank’, the mutant garage of ‘Brought Up Badly’ and the house groover ‘Stax Had The Funk’, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is a joyous romp through rave’s sound palette, replete with playful samples and skits (featured on the vinyl LP version), and a mischievous demeanour that affords the listener an lively album that doesn’t take itself too seriously. ‘Flow Mechanics’ by Jerome Hill is available from 3rd March 2023 on Hypercolour.

Following his debut on the label with last year’s ‘The Pob Routine’, Jerome Hill returns to AccidentalJnr with another absolute stonker of a release which we’ll let him describe in his own words...

“After my last EP for Jnr I spoke with label boss Matthew Herbert and he challenged me to write a track for the next EP, containing only sounds I'd recorded 'in the wild'. I was about to spend a little time on an organic Vegetable farming co-op just outside Munich, 'Kartoffel Kombinat' which I'd previously nicknamed Potato Land, so I brought my recorder and during my stay made lots of recordings, carrots being bitten and snapped, various gardening tools clattering around, voices and even the big tombola-like machine that cleans the freshly picked vegetables. The resulting track was Potatoland and the only non-organic noise in it is the kick. Various 'Potatoland’ elements also make guest appearances in the other tracks, although they are less easy to spot.

'Quibble’, was also written specifically for the label and was influenced by Herbert who I've been a huge fan of for decades... I wanted to make something suitably wobbly and humorous that shuffles along but then really slams when the kick comes in. Add in the Dance Mania influenced ‘Chicken’ and the final track ‘Bleeper’ and that's the EP... Very happy to be back!!”

Jerome Hill returns to the label with a solid 4 tracker to mark his fourth EP on the label.

Each track offers something different, the crispy and playful minimalism of ‘Mind Goes Blank’ pairs up with the wistful crunch of ‘Knock Knock’ on the Aside, while things take a decidedly more ACID approach on the flip beginning with the big boned banger of the EP ‘Bombing With Imase’ and culminating with weaving 303 lines sets against strangled otherworldly transmissions in ‘A Million Ways To Get ill’ .

Jerome Hill (Super Rhythm Trax / Don’t) dons his Techno hat once again for an outing on fresh new label ’Swords’ and opens up with ‘The Creeper’, a brooding ear worm of a banger that skulks around unhinged as FM synthesis drills a hole in your eardrums with solid and moreish bass keeping things very heavy indeed. On the flip we have ‘Drum War’ which is just that; Sharp snare rolls puncture a heaving carcass of crunchy kicks and bass with tension riding high. Also included is a bonus Drumapella for DJs to utilise when extra snares are needed!! Lastly, the original mix of ‘Plastic Jam’ gets a deserved release after a more stripped back drum heavy mix appeared on the excellent Power Vacuum label last year. The original mix sees a happy melding of broken beat Techno with old skool 1992 Hardcore.

Anyone who has heard the DABJ crew play out over the last year will bound to have heard some of the fire from this. "Jump On The House Train" has been a staple in our club sets and mixes, and has to be one of the most asked about tracks we've had on rotation. All four tracks encapsulate the vibe of late night / early morn' Glasgow warehouse parties perfectly. Highly limited vinyl [with hand stamped labels and cool insert] release plus digital release.
Don't let this one evade your capture...

Dixon Avenue Basement Jams feel extremely honoured and stupidly excited to finally be able to announce this!
After his first three EPs on the label, the much talked about debut album from Glasgows Big Miz is ready to drop on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams!

This is Big Miz at his undiluted best and cements the fact that he is one of the UKs most exciting raw talents. 2018 move aside, the big man has already owned ya.

O.D.D., Modini and Casio Royale team up to wreck clubs across the galaxy! I glanced at the wrinkles on my hands as they worked the controls on landing pod. I’d aged considerably since we left Earth to track the alien. Taking an extremely dangerous short cut via the rim of a black hole allowed me to get to the outer regions of the universe before I turned geriatric and was too decrepit to navigate the ship. Now, as we approached Planet Simila, excitement burned within me. It wasn’t just about meeting an extra-terrestrial, I was lonely. It had been many years since I’d spoken to anyone other than the ship’s computer and here I was about to meet the first known life form outside our planet. I bumped the pod down on the terra firma as gracefully as I could. Intel confirmed Simila had an almost identical atmosphere to earth and that I’d be able to breathe on it unaided. However, precautious as always, I put the large dome shaped breathing apparatus over my head and pulled on the silver safety suit. I took my first step out of a spaceship in 14 years and there it was only yards away from me; a small green creature with large white goggle eyes on the end of two spindly antennas. If you’d asked a 5-year-old earthling to draw a spaceman it would have looked exactly like the thing stood before me. I had no idea whether it could comprehend English or not but nerves made me blurt out: “Greetings from Planet Earth, I have travelled many light years to meet you, I…
“Here, never mind that pish, ya space helmet, you got the new DABJ Allstars Vol 3 on ya, it’s got new stoaters fae O.D.D, Modini and Casio Royale. I’ve heard it’s oot o’ this world.” If you need anything else then let us know.

The Man from Marseille VernoN dropping his second E.P for DABJ here, building on the groove of his debut "Chicken Dance" but adding an extended palette of sound and taking things in a slightly tougher direction. "How To Travel The Universe (Without a Flying Saucer)" kicks of with "Ignition", an eerie Ghost Train cut ripe for an LSD-fuelled danse macabre through the town after the witching hour. "One Night In Tanzania" rolls out into a rugged, clave-led jacker: a perfect mix between the deep and the tough that VernoN can deftly muster, seemingly with ease. Flip the white wax for a run of jagged, acidic noise on "How To Build A Pyramid", a perfect soundtrack to getting "The Acid Life" tattooed on yer forehead Tebori-style by a crippled ex-Yakusa in a back-alley whorehouse. The straight dancefloor demolition approach of the b-side culminates in "Nightmares", possibly VernoN's best and most fierce work to date, and an absolute shocker that's about as intense as coming up on a £10 ecto whilst being kidnapped by Somalian pirates. We're still non the wiser as how to navigate the cosmos without the aid of a space vessel though. Must be a mental thing, innit.

"IT'S TIME TO KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKAAAAZ!!!" Hollered McCoy Tyner at the MC5's infamous 1968 Detroit Grande Ballroom gig. What's changed this then apart from the fact that the powers that be are even more adept at stopping you from doing the good timez? Thankfully we can all still get on to the Nouveau Shamanic powerbeat to shake of the drudgery and oppression of modern existence. And what better way to do that than with a fresh slice of hot motherfucking Jams delivered straight from the DABJ? This time it's a compilation affair, but still with a focus on more hot yet little-known box jam alchemists tinkering in clandestine basements. CT Trax and TX Connect are taking care of proceedings with a track each, on each side. TX kicks off with "TX Acid", a no-nonsense 303 run that hammers home why a lot of modern producers trying to capture an elusive golden-age sound have missed the mark entirely by making the musical equivalent of talcum powder. Tuff! CT Trax closes the A-Side with a powerful rhythmic workout layered with driving chords and phased, jagged synths: say goodbye to those tits baby, because they're about to get rushed the fuck off. Flip to B, and back to CT Trax with some stonking derangement that words probably won't do justice. But we'll settle for Black Magic True-Trance that serves to aid and abet Hedonistic Rituals. Closing out the B-Side and therefore the E.P, TX Connect is back to bring a futuro Ron Hardy edit vibe replete with a 4 Dimensional bassline and field recordings from Sirius B. In fact, this is exactly the kind of thing the great man himself would be riffing on for 45 minutes at peak time, with two copies on the wheels, if he were alive today.

Another day, another motherfuckin DAB-J! Well, their release roster might not be that prolific, but we'll not let reason interfere with rhyme. And you guessed it: it's another shadowy figure lifted from obscurity like a golden pearl plucked from the deepest depths of the ocean. Could it be the work of an infamous producer, or the product of a hobo wizard who's borrowed a few machines from a home-owning friend? Only the DABJ Illuminati know this. And the fact that they also have a sense of humor means that we can keep getting away with writing these increasingly ridiculous press releases. It also gives us reason to assume that the entire DABJ back catalogue is the work of an 85 year old woman. O.D.D: Ol' Dirty Debra working that danceflo heat. But more than likely it's not on a geriatric junt tip. "Bumbling Muppet" is a stripped-back militant jacker with a big, bad and rubbery Abe Duque "It Moved Me" style bassline. The only thing that's missing is drill instructor Srt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket screaming dancefloor orders down the mic. An intense gut-rupturing workout. "Foam Suit" is something like a bizarre demon seed birthed from the unholy loins of Willie Burns, and those of the Dance Mania crew who were smoking some other shit. What a nightmarish union. Rich and redeeming chords keep us from going fully mental though. Half way disclaimer: Trying to actually describe what any of this actually sounds like would leave us sounding a bit silly really, so these half-baked references are the best option, for your sake! The bleepfunk of "Pols" rolls out like a thoroughly refreshed take on the surreal groove of Sweet Exorcist and Unit Moebius at their downright freakiest. The tougher rhythm of "Trigger's Drum" reveals the Techno roots of this E.P. You might want to keep this one away from your parents though. Just in case you come home to find that they've dug out the vintage ecstasy collection, have ingested the entire contents and are melting into pool of druggy syrup while this track booms throughout the house. Maybe you are that parent.

We had an inkling that it wouldn't be long before Marquis Hawkes reared his mysterious ass again. Even after the success of his last drop for DABJ we're no closer to finding out the real identity of this cheeky funkmonger. He's probably holed up in his caravan right now, taking massive bong hits, fingering his 808 and having a good old laugh at us all. And if he isn't doing that then he's most certainly at the club, double-fisted with two fine single malts and draped in wimmin, while the DJ drops his shit. "Higher Forces at Work" is a solid entry in what is rapidly becoming a signature sound: raw ghetto elements mixed with deep and melodic arrangements. The rolling funk of "Automatic" is the most minimal Hawkes production yet but we're not talking no Teutonic functionalism here, just a stripped-back deep-bass bliss teetering on the brink of a disco meltdown that never quite happens. Title track "Higher Forces" and "Divine Intervention" are the best examples of Hawkes Ghetto inclinations here. Both have that ripping, flanged percussion that cuts dancefloors to ribbons, with "Divine Intervention" acting as a sort of acid-driven counterpart to the electronic soul of "Higher Forces". "I Want You" is almost this E.P's answer to the righteous thunder of "Sealion Woman" from the last cut. Although, the tracky punishment of the latter isn't quite present on here, Mr. Hawkes certainly knows how to wield an old-time sample in a deft fashion and the surging bass and jungle percussion of this track will take the heads to elevated levels. To cut a long story short: Marquis Hawkes delivers another hit of real, rockin' raw shit mainlined straight to tha jugular and every ounce of hype he's been graced with recently is utterly deserved.

Remember when that Swedish guy at RBMA called Theo Parrish the saviour of house music? Although Theo be the man, he was obviously talking complete shite. But he may have had a small point. In the past year we've been swamped by generic Chi-town carbon copies, none of it bad, but a lot of it rather pointless. Thankfully there are more than a few labels doing there bit to present fresh-as-fuck and interesting machine music, and DABJ are riding shotgun with the best of them, just two releases deep! After the first face-melting, sell-out cuts from Jared Wilson and the mysterious Marquis Hawkes, DABJ are showcasing another shadowy newcomer in the form of VernoN for their third slab of wax. Frenchman VernoN has certainly slowed down the pace a touch on"Chicken Dance", but nobody ever said that was a bad thing. The E.P kicks off with "She Can Dance", a slow burning acid number that has elements of deep, grooving House from the Detroit school. In fact, the second cut "Low Control" bares the influence of Detroit too, with it's murky, dubbed-out chords ala Luke Hess moving into a punchy bassline with minimal but functional drum patterns. Proceedings get a bit more bouncy on "The Smoking Hat", a quirky acid romp on the less daft side of Ceephax, and the perfect soundtrack to accompany a feature-length documentary about.... a smoking hat. Finishing up the E.P is Fudge Fingas remix of "Low Control", the only man qualified to make an already deep as fuck track even deeper. There's been some on-point criticisms about a lot recent deep stuff getting lost in noodly Jazz territory, but we're in no danger of that nonsense with Fudge Fingas at the controls: accomplished a musician he may be, he's never been one to lose the way, and this mix proves his deft and subtle remix talents. DABJ done done it again, and hopefully this is the first in a long line of productions from VernoN.
