Enzo Siragusa and FUSE launch new label LOCUS this June, with the debut EP coming via hotly tipped talent KOKO. Having recently unveiled a new-look aesthetic for his long-standing and highly influential FUSE imprint, Enzo Siragusa and the FUSE team will now turn their attention to fresh project and brand-new label - LOCUS - with the definition of the label’s namesake matching their ambition to create a new and refreshing home for exclusive underground electronic music whilst delivering high quality parties, just as FUSE has done so over the past 12 years. With an ethos of exploring all shades of house music with the dancefloor at the forefront of its thinking, LOCUS looks set to house the very best in four-to-the-floor club music from both established talents and rising stars alike, with the first EP on the label arriving this summer courtesy of Infuse regular and ever-impressing Italian DJ and producer, KOKO. Opening with the infectious ‘Chantal’ alongside Brooklyn-based vocalist Quelle Rox, the Italian’s penchant for rich and dynamic soundscapes from across the house sphere quickly becomes apparent as he fuses resonant synths and refined drum licks beneath infectious vocals for a sun-kissed opener. Next, ‘Your Ass, My Camel Blue’ welcomes fluid electric piano lines and icy hats atop of a snaking bassline, before journeying into the luscious chords, sultry rhythms and resonant sax-riffs of ‘Love in Plexiglass’. Lastup, final cut ‘Amore Ante Hominem Nascitur’ closes things out via a medley of hypnotic leads, dubby chords and shuffling percussion – shaping up a notable debut offering for LOCUS and a stellar first look into an imprint that looks set to become a new favourite for many in the months ahead. TRACK LISTING: A1. KOKO feat. Quelle Rox - Chantal, A2. KOKO - Your Ass, My Camel Blue, B1. KOKO - Love in Plexiglass, B2. KOKO - Amor Ante Hominem Nascitur

Following previous releases on Banoffee Pies and Drumma Records, Italian producer Francesco Rinaldi PKA KOKO, debut’s on Enzo Siragusa’s INFUSE imprint with a effortlessly sublime and infectious four track EP. Lead track ‘Rimmel’ is string-laden deep disco-tinged slice of sonic beauty. Next up is ‘Own Town’ which ups the ante and takes us into digital stratosphere. On the flip and ‘Versailles’ gets deep and tweaky as the Detroit feel infuses the groove. Finally ‘House Weekend’ breaks out the muted horns and staccato rhythms as we bump all night! Another brilliant EP on this stalwart of an imprint.

No stranger to the Basic Fingers camp Koko have already graced us before and that’s why we’re also bringing him back a third time for another release with rnb & soul drenched disco gems. Light Of The World’s ”Time” has got everything you need to encourage feet movement. An infectious bassline, horns, strings, percussions, sing-a-long-chorus and is presented in beautiful way, giving the original enough room to breathe. Flip over for a great re-edit of Meli’sa Morgan’s "Fool’s Paradise” - funkier than a mosquito's tweeter!

Tracklisting:
A1 Holo - Juniper
B1 Holo - Shosa
B2 Holo - Try

Sales Note
Following the success of Holo's groove-driven debut Atlas EP, he's back with another dreamy 3-tracker on Lost Palms.

Drawing from pop, classic rock, acid and 90's hip hop, he has managed to hone a truly idiosyncratic sound which at once is recognisable and takes you by surprise. The aptly-named Technicolour EP demonstrates the Melbourne producer's prowess in creating rich, warm, chromatic soundscapes which are downtempo but pack plenty of body. Following the shuffly house number 'Juniper', reverberating chords and MPC claps define 'Shosa' before the balearic-tinged 'Try' leaves a sweet taste in our mouths via acid melodies and airy pads.

A1 DJ Psychiatre - Something That U Feel
A2 DJ Psychiatre - An Emotion, Whatever...
A3 DJ Psychiatre - It Is Your Only Choice
B1 DJ Psychiatre - Play The Music
B2 DJ Psychiatre - NMAV

Sales Note
After Psychiatre's previous electro-focused Lost Palms release proved his artistic malleability, his latest sees him return to his signature sound. NMAV EP radiates warmth; music that sits back into itself, and invites its listener to do just the same.

It begins with three deep house soothers, the first taking disco as its springboard, and the rest stripping it right back to a minimal, soul-caressing effect.

On the B-side the sun doesn't stop shining, except this time Psychiatre injects a healthy dose of acid and the groove of a breakbeat. But far from the rave connotations of each style, Psychiatre teases out the most gentle facets of each, bringing the EP to a suitably laid-back close.

Tracklisting:
A1 Computer Data - Seele
A2 Computer Data - Broken
B1 Computer Data - Departure
B2 Computer Data - Veloren


Release Note:


San Fran’s rising star and Shall Not Fade fave, Computer Data, returns to Lost Palms with 4 slick, deep tracks to satisfy your sonic needs.

Colourful opener ‘Seele’ marries hazy, lo-fi vocals with bright synths and dreamy pads. A lush escape, one for lazy days watching clouds pass by. Next, let the thick deep grooves of Broken wash over you - soulful, enigmatic vocals tug on the heart strings, dancing over a silky, mesmerising melody. On the flip, ‘Departure’ is a slow burning house number with Computer Data’s own spin, stripped back kicks driving into an ethereal electronic wonderland. Taking us through to a soul-soothing sunrise, ‘Veloren’ rounds out the EP. Uplifting, nonchalant, deep house to wash away your troubles.

B3 DJ Psychiatre - If A Heartbeat Could Speak

Release Note:
DJ Psychiatre explores a different avenue of his sound. Whilst the enigmatic French producer's penchant for storytelling remains very much intact, he swaps out his usual house-centric sound for a focus on electro. Delivered via acidic synths, infectious melodies and metallic textures, Lucidity EP captures electro's most playful side and proves Psychiatre's stylistic ambidexterity.

Tracklisting:
A1 &on&on - All Day
A2 &on&on - Melted
B1 &on&on - Delta T
B2 &on&on - Mid Valley
B3 &on&on - Samo

Release Note:
As &on&on, DJ's Noni and Worth Way have been making some serious waves over the past year, being named one of DJ Mag top artists to check out in 2022 and also featured on Disclosure's DJ Kicks compilation.

On their first release on the label, the duo boast their prowess in composing uplifting, melodic dance music which draws on myriad influences to create unique and innovative sounds. Whilst every track on Mentalphysics has fun and festivity at its core, some take their inspiration from disco ('Mid Valley'), whilst others from groovy deep house ('All Day') or breakbeat ('Delta T'). Finally, 'Melted' subtly evokes speed garage in the way the bass dips, giving the track lots of depth and 'Samo' brings things to an anthemic close with reverberating cymbals filling any space with body and movement.

A2 Alex Virgo - FM Trilogy
A3 Alex Virgo - Charge The Gun
B1 Alex Virgo - Gale Force
B2 Alex Virgo - About Last Night
B3 Alex Virgo - About Last Night (Instrumental)

Release Note:
Alex Virgo breathes his love of disco into all that he touches. With each release the London producer explores the genre's myriad forms, ranging from nu-disco to italo and cosmic inflections. On "Don't Buy The Sun" EP retro drum machines reverberate amongst full-bodied synth melodies, often backed by an assertive beat that gives the tracks their driving propulsion. At times, the music seems most fitted to an industrial warehouse setting whilst at others, a space shuttle ride to the moon.

Don't Buy The Sun EP drops 23rd September via Lost Palms.

Tracklisting:
A1 DJ Physical - Uranium
A2 DJ Physical - Gold Mines
A3 DJ Physical - Lunatic State
B1 DJ Physical - Overshoot
B2 DJ Physical & Ika Sile - Bootybounce
B3 DJ Physical - Law Breaker

Release Note:
This release will have you dancing and crying at the same time. On his debut album, Paris-based producer and founder of the "raw poetry" aesthetic Loyce Demellier - AKA DJ Physical - takes us on a fast-paced journey through techno, electro, breaks and more. Whilst the music's indisputable home is the club, Physical teases out moments of playfulness and sentimentality amongst hard-hitting electronics.

"Silver Lake" LP resides on the colder, more industrial side of Demellier's sonic spectrum, following on from his latest release on London imprint 10 PILLS MATE which saw him depart from the more lofi quality of his previous releases in favour of a raw, club-focused sound. On the A-side, Demellier situates the release within the context of old warehouse raves, with euphoric acid melodies and a 140BPM propulsion ("Uranium"): and high-pitched synth stabs that ascend from darkness ("Gold Mines").

The B-side maintains the pace, but this time it's about electro and breaks. On "Overshoot", reverberating cymbals add another layer of depth to Amen break interludes whilst "Lawbreaker" harnesses a cheekier tone, offering respite from the previous tracks' venom. This air of playfulness sticks around on "Lunatic State" helped by MPC drum claps and a ludic electro melody, before fellow Parisian Ika Sile steps up for "Early Sprinter" and "Bootybounce": the former offering a slicker take on acid techno and the latter: rave music at its absolute with piano stabs and sleazy vocal chops. Silver Lake LP drops 19th August 2022 via Lost Palms.
