Frontman, songwriter, musician and straight up entertainer, the inimitable Ali Love has many sides. Aboard a non-­stop thrill ride as part of Infinity Ink and Hot Natured throughout 2012/2013, the dust was only beginning to settle when Ali Love dropped his third solo album ‘P.U.M.P.’ on Crosstown Rebels at the height of summer. Described by Mixmag as “his best work to date” P.U.M.P is the pinnacle of Ali’s life long journey through broad spectrum of music styles. An album that conveys the building blocks for one of the most distinctive voices in UK dance music, Ali’s refusal to stay in his box has produced a piece of work that’s the perfect antidote for modern day ‘track’ culture. 'P.U.M.P.' spans psychedelic house, cosmic disco and soulful downtempo all with the common thread of Ali’s golden vocals. One of the standout tracks from this cult summer album is next single ‘Perfect Picture’, an uplifting flash back to rave swagger with flashes of old school breaks. Original dubstepper Skream, crossover star Route 94 and close collaborator Luca Cazal alongside Dubka all offer up their distinct interpretations to the psychedelic mixing pot. More

Superb solo artist album from Hot Natured and Infinity Ink member Ali Love. P.U.M.P. showcases Ali Love's talents as one of the UK's leading electronic songwriters and vocalists. The album combines up-tempo psychedelically infused house tracks such as 'Emperor', 'Deep Into The Night' & 'Perfect Picture' along with the more cosmic disco leanings of 'Cosmic Top Secret' and 'Egyptian Spaceman' and the more soulful down-tempo 'P.U.S.S.Y., 'Surrender' & 'Ride On' (featuring Kenny Glasgow of Art Department). A veritable tour-de-force, P.U.M.P. showcases Ali's talents as one of the UK's leading electronic songwriters and vocalists. Often referred to as the voice of Modern British Dance Music - Ali's the front man of the Hot Natured collective and one half of the Infinity Ink. Ali's last seven releases, whether with aforementioned acts or as solo artist, were all Radio One Essential New Tunes. Produced and co-written alongside Steve Dub (Chemical Brothers / Primal Scream) and Mark Ralph (Hot Natured / Hot Chip), P.U.M.P. is a consummate body of work destined for great things. P.U.M.P. is an album that is the nemesis of modern day dance music 'track' culture, a body of work that reminds us that dance music albums can still be vital. More

Ali's new highly anticipated single 'Another' has been dubbed one of the most requested tracks of the summer from label boss Damian Lazarus. Co-produced with Steve Dub 'Another' pumps a four to the floor beat with glitchy percussion and distinctive psychedelic vocals. Techno soul at its best. The single comes with remixes from Tuff City Kids (aka Gerd Janson & Phillip Laur) and the inimitable Felix Da Housecat. Tuff City Kids channel Reese, and drive it deeper, whilst Felix Da Housecat smooth's things out and turns the emotion dial to 11. Ali is busy putting the finishing touches to next year's album. 'Another' is a sign of big things to come. More

After the success of the fantastic album, Atomic Age, No.19 Music released recently from Canadian musical talents My Favorite Robot, the label has decided to enlist four acclaimed producers to provide remixes of key tracks. Detroit bad boy Jimmy Edgar, Chicago's Kate Simko and legendary techno producer Mr. G all appear on this great EP. The one and only Jimmy Edgar - who has recently launched his own label Ultramajic - goes first with his terrifically alluring version of 'White Light'. He expertly re-works the track into a robotic bit of house that's filled with pinging synths lines, rasping metal chords and shiny percussion. It's typically libidinous and full-blooded and is sure to make for some really standout moments on the 'floor. No-nonsense Rekids man Mr. G then re-imagines 'Here Tonight' as a heavyweight, firmly rooted techno groove with manic conga playing and drilling bass fleshing out the groove. It's a driving track for the dead of night and displays all the man's usual full-throttle intent. Kate Simko, a revered DJ, live act and producer with labels like Leftroom, remixes the superbly titled 'Centerofattentionaaut' with the help of some live musicians including violinists. In her hands the track is a slightly spooky, sparse affair that snakes it way through a desolate urban landscape with subtly rising, hugely musical melodies and plenty of unsettling ambiance contained within. When the vocal arrives at the mid-point it marks a timely release of tension that will undoubtedly send hands skywards. Given the quality of the source material it's no wonder these remixes are so refreshing, but kudos to No. 19 Music for bringing in just the right names to ensure such an amazing result. More

Tone of Arc is the new moniker from Derrick Boyd the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer who has been creating such a stir after his recent performances at the No.19 Social Experiment events at BPM in Mexico and WMC in Miami and with his forthcoming remix for Visionquest. His marriage of inspiring production/songwriting and truly unique live/dj performances make him a very exciting prospect as anyone who has caught him live can testify to. Now he is set to distil all of this into an album for his friends at No.19, and as an early taster of that, we have here his debut single 'Shaking the Sky / No Pushers'. The A side track 'Shaking the Sky' is a superb bass driven slice of dark house that weaves eighties tinged synth work and rolling drums with the wonderfully contrasting vocals of Boyd & partner Zoe Presnick. This is an instant late night anthem and surely set to become one of the biggest No.19 records to date: it's easy to see why this has been a staple in Art Department Dj sets for the last year. The flipside sees Boyd shift down a gear with the sublime & laidback 'No Pushers', a track that was debuted during Jonny White & Shaun Reeves set at the Legendary Sacbe Jungle party in Playa Del Carmen earlier this year. The record melds a brilliant warm bassline, layers of hypnotic pads and a shuffling drum section to create the perfect base for his ethereal vocals. This is a wonderfully accompaniment to the driving energy of 'Shaking the Sky' and shows the rich diversity of the Tone of Arc sound. More
