introducing Black Orange Juice for 2012 ... a cosmic crew of dance floor saviours. Nomads of the musical Galaxy who are crazy in love and love crazE. Brought together by Ossie of Hyperdub Records fame. His 'Tarantula' track was selected in the FACT Top 50 for 2011, not forgetting the awesome Joe Goddard 'Gabriel' remix for Greco Roman which took his sound to another level and which won him fans the world over... The all singing Black Orange Juice, found it's sweet spot when Ossie recruited two of his closest compadres, Paul Black and Orial, partners in crime with a history of gospel choirs, R&B quartets and lending their vocals to some of London's finest underground hero's...They blend the best elements from the UK Undergound with a nod to the talents of Roska, Jamie Jones, Scratcha DVA and Mosca, and a wave to those infectious vocal-house sounds reminiscent of Hercules and Love Affair and Azari & III. The sound is both unique and dangerously infectious... More

Road To Shaanxi's first EP, Revelation, will be released on True Panther Sounds on the 23rd of September. Little is know about Road To Shaanxi the producer. The music itself is cinematic, expressing a narrative of sorts, occupying the fill between club and headphones. Sonically it is much indebted to the UK electronic and dance music traditions – the stuttered moodiness of Mt Kimbie's debut Maybes EP, or Zomby's more emotive submerged garage moments. "Revelation" is, for lack of better words, a revelation. An expanding, dramatic yet oddly subdued piece that unfolds steadily until it's over. One could picture it soundtracking an end of the world sequence in slow motion, or just an end of the night set. The vinyl pressing will be limited to 500 copies and features the work of painter Augutus Thompson. More

After making his name with a series of off kilter dance floor releases and collaborative projects – mutant boogie outfit Velour (with Julio Bashmore), and a joint release with Punch Drunk boss Peverelist, Hyetal released his debut album Broadcast in 2011. Modern Worship continues the journey further down the rabbit hole, as a selection of begged, borrowed and stolen analogue equipment rubs up against breathy digital synthesis and sound design. The results are twisted electronic pop songs and soundscapes, with knowing nods to dancefloors across the ages. Percussively a more refined and aggressive record to Broadcast, break-neck drum machines informed by post punk experimentalists and hip hop micro genres are set against melodies conceived from daydreams of childhood nostalgia and imagined futuristic vistas. In parts a collaborative record, three songs were co-written with singer & sonic experimentalist Gwilym Gold, while two reintroduce long time contributor Alison Garner of Invada signed shoegaze band The Fauns. As a whole Modern Worship is a deeply immersive, cohesive listen from start to finish, showing Hyetal's natural ease with the album format. An artist who continues to impress and excite in equal measure, Hyetal proves with 'Modern Worship' that he is one of the most innovative producers working in UK electronic music today. More

DJ Spoko was born Marvin Ramalepe, raised in the rural town of Tzaneen in northern South Africa. On Ghost Town, Spoko pushes that sound's simple yet ear-worming "space" synths, raw kicks and punishing military snares even further. Ghost Town is party music, sure, but there's a stern and harsh reality, too. Guest vocals by Spoko's Ghetto Boyz Entertainment crew address the warnings of forefathers, the violence of township life, and the rural world Spoko left behind. It's the electrified sound of a country boy taking over his township. And next, maybe, the world. More

A mixture of 60's girl group, bubblegum pop, and new wave with a pinch of the Bay Area garage rock scene. More

"We speak one language now," says Sierra Leonian singer Janka Nabay of the band he calls the "Bubu Gang," an eclectic group of New York-based musicians who fell in love with Janka's freneticÊ"bubu"Êdance music in 2010 following Janka's American debut on True Panther Sounds. In the year and a half since their first show, the band has started infusing bubu music with a broader range of stylistic influences, and Janka hasÊevolved into an inspired band-leader and MC in the tradition of James Brown and Fela Kuti. The new sounds draw as much from Janka's indigenous bubu as they do from the sunny energy of Ghanaian highlife, the extended improvisations of 70s Miles Davis, the hypnotic rhythms of classic Afro-beat and the swirling shredding guitars of 60s and 70s psychedelia. True PantherÊSounds is proud to debut the very first ensemble recordings made by "Janka Nabay and the Bubu Gang" as a limited-edition 3-track 12"/cdep.ÊThe band is also currently signed to David Byrne's label Luaka Bop and will release theirÊfirst full-length this June.
