A3 Adam BFD - 1st Sight
B1 Adam BFD - Rose
B2 Adam BFD - Siniestro

Sales Note
On his follow-up to ROOS10, French DJ and producer Adam BFD lets imagination thrive with five mesmerizing breaksy house cuts, best heard under a star-lit sky. Duality flows seamlessly throughout the whole record, Adam harnessing the power to connect everyday experiences with a higher state of consciousness.

The EP kicks off with 'Digital Tales' which layers wistful secrets over mood-altering pads; it's hypnotic undertone grounding and continuous. 'Cirrus Dreamz' ascends even further into the clouds, it's steady pace expertly infused with cosmic melody and shuffling rhythms.

In a world driven by hyper-connectivity, Adam's productions are a welcome reminder to stop and explore, none more so than in the immersive world of B side opener '1st sight'. Dynamic percussion provides the movement, while meditative sonics produce the feeling of being swept up in a magic carpet and taken along for the ride. Adam's depth of field widens in title track 'Rose', a quasi-epic composition combining all the best elements of house and breakbeat.

The record comes to a contemplative halt with 'Siniestro' - an ambient bubble-bath with field recordings poignantly placed across developing pads yearning for connection; showcasing another side to a producer who knows how to tug at the heartstrings.

A2 Adam BFD - Call A Taxi
B1 Adam BFD - No Advice
B2 Adam BFD - An Ode To La Condesa
B3 Adam BFD - For The Good Times

Sales Note
Originally from Normandy now residing in the country's capital, French DJ and producer Adam Boufeldja (aka Adam BFD) has been making a serious name for himself, having put out a string of self-released singles and curating his own self-titled Youtube channel.

Adam's tracks have always been vivid, detailed portraits; drawing from memories and influences from around the world, and his latest EP on Running Out Of Steam is no exception; using his eclectic tastes to produce a record truly unique, and brimming with personality.

'I'll be walking' meanders through an always evolving city, creating space and sense of an otherwise chaotic and fleeting world. The track's softly spoken synths hold the torch, while the effortless drums walk us home. 'Call A Taxi' follows suit, a fruitful marriage between shuffling drum patterns and hypnotic tones, while the track's subtle low-end provides the glue; closing off an A side that feels more like a story being told than another dance-floor memento.

Title track 'No Advice' launches the B side on a slightly more ominous tone, in a microcosmic portrait of opposing forces; before 'An Ode To La Condesa' glides through like a letter from an old friend, the smell of fresh ink still prevalent on the page as we're whisked away through the wide-tree lined avenues of La Condesa. The EP comes to a close with 'For The Good Times' combining nostalgic tinged leads, forward-marching drums and sprawling pads that act as a backdrop to another highly impressive EP from one of France's best emerging artists.

Tracklisting:
A1 Tony Q & Barry Scran - You Should Be Listening
A2 Tony Q & Barry Scran - Bout 2 Get It
B1 Tony Q & Barry Scran - Vivarium
B2 Tony Q & Barry Scran - Horsepower

Release Note:
Tony Q & Barry Scran, also known as production and DJ duo 't e s t p r e s s', substitute their well-beloved moniker on Bout To Get It EP and explore a more world-building approach to their productions; featuring four patient and intricate pieces in search of new ground.

'You Should Be Listening' opens up the A-side with its larger-than-life and levitating textures, held in suspense by its solidified groove. 'Bout 2 Get It' comes in steady, and hits pace at the one minute park; the track's bassline opening and closing for maximum effect, and a tantalising vocal-loop that helps build as much suspense as it keeps the track in forward-motion.

'Vivarium' show's off the pairing's knack for hybridized methods, with its UKG drum patterns and trance-tinged leads; paired with a sense of optimism and world-building, it feels like a special and versatile record; fit for multiple purposes. Finally 'Horsepower' Shuts things down with enough energy and grace to close any set. The duo unleash a barrage of layered brakes against a silhouette of hypnotic leads and gnarly bass; embodying many of the ideas and knowledge from previous tracks, into a breathless masterstroke.

Tracklisting:
A1 Amy Dabbs - Places
A2 Amy Dabbs - Flexin
B1 Amy Dabbs - Be Yourself
B2 Amy Dabbs - Rise

Release Note:
Running Out of Steam return with their eight release this time from London born, Berlin based DJ and producer Amy Dabbs. The daughter of an original Northern Soul DJ, Amy started her musical journey through a vast collection of Motown records - lending itself to further exploration and inspiring her unique take on electronic music today.

Since her widely acclaimed debut EP on Distant Horizons, Amy has released music on Slothboogie and Lobster Theremin's White label - infusing a classic style at various speeds; from house, jungle and drum & bass. Now, across four tracks, walking basslines and warm sound-design incite feelings of nostalgia, hope and good old-fashioned fun - so let's dance.

'Places' starts things off with it's cascading hi-hats and footstomping kick drums; collectively combining classic stabs with feel-good energy in the form of steamy vocal snippets. 'Flexin' follows through with more hugs on the dance-floor, a track that almost feels like a final ode to summer and embraces you like the friends we waited so long to see.

'Be Yourself' embodies the mantra of doing what you love, a view held deeply by Amy and can be heard running through all of her productions. The melodic elements blossom over beats in an equal exchange of energy, giving birth to a track that makes you feel as if you're exactly where you need to be. 'Rise' then switches from the 4/4 template in favour of slickly programmed breakbeats - while maintaining the essence of classic house, with Amy's own and ever embracing take.

Tracklisting:
A1 DJ Atlance - Le Club, La Nuit
A2 DJ Atlance - When I Hear Your Voice
B1 DJ Atlance - Eternal Sunshine
B2 DJ Atlance - Do For Love
B3 DJ Atlance - After The Storm

Release Note:
Parisian producer DJ Atlance follows up an appearance on Happiness Energy's various artist compilation late last year with five sun-soaked house cuts on Running Out Of Steam, just in time for January coming to an end.

'Le Club, La Nuit' gets things underway with a sample-heavy slice of early evening house music; funk-driven basslines, radiant atmospherics and a distinctive Atlance, hip-house bounce hold the door for the listener as they venture further into the dimly lit room. 'When I Hear Your Voice' throws it back to the 00's with its MTV-pop-dance blend of catchy vocals and murder-on-the-dancefloor energy.

'Eternal Sunshine' is as radiant as the title would suggest; a bright sequence of saxophones, jazz-keys and feel-good warmth that we wish would never come to an end, before Atlance shows what he would 'Do For Love' on a synth-bending, playful cut of coastal house music.

'After The Storm' maintains its housey aesthetic, but this time on an electro-tipped 2-step; instantly recognisable vocal samples, dreamscape aesthetics and meditative breaks uniting on a blissed-out trip.

First Word Records are very proud to bring you 'A Christmas Cwtch', the brand new album from highly-acclaimed Welsh jazz-harpist, Amanda Whiting. Expertly crafted with love, care and dedication, 'A Christmas Cwtch' takes on assorted classics from the likes of Vince Guaraldi, Bill Evans, Holst and Tchaikovsky, and re-presents them with original arrangements by Amanda and her accomplished trio. The end result is a 14-track selection pack of feel-good seasonal jazz-harp magic, including recent singles 'Peace Piece' and 'Skating'. Amanda says "just mention Christmas and you hear Guaraldi, Bill Evans and the sound of sleigh bells and harps. It's my favourite time of year and the music evokes everything warm and cwtchy. Sparkling lights, mince pies, mulled wine and nostalgia around the tree." On the word 'cwtch', Amanda explains that "a 'cwtch' is the most important word to Welsh folk. It's a hug, with a little squeeze. It's a feeling. It's cosy, loving and safe. I wanted this album to hold you, cwtch you and allow you to indulge." Inspired by artists like Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, Amanda is a classically trained virtuoso, well established in the UK jazz scene, with releases on Jazzman and Albert's Favourites. More

Finally the mystery is solved. After seeing air time by jocks like Harvey and Orpheu the Wizard and causing an absolute frenzy amongst diggers world-wide going into a hopeless hunt for what was thought to be a rare unearthed Cantonese version of "Spacer Woman" from back in the day. Only to find out that it was actually a newly produced cover version by Romain FX -- we can all sleep better at night now (and actually even own a copy of the record without having to give up a kidney!). Here it is, finally, after tumultuous negotiations with the original rights owners, Hong Kong raised Romain FX's skilful efforts to give the absolute classic Italo-disco bomb a new facelift --"Spacer Woman" but now in Cantonese. Subtle but effective, he presents a new rendition with Cantonese lyrics by Cheung Yuen Tung along with a very respectful "Acid Trip Version". Get it while you can because the deal made with the original rights owners only allowed for a very limited pressing. More
