Having established themselves as one of Anjunadeep’s leading acts over the past 12 months with three stunning EPs and notorious bootlegs of Depeche Mode and Radiohead, Cubicolor return with their boldest and most diverse release to date with the ‘Down The Wall EP’. The four track EP has won early DJ support from tastemakers like Lee Burridge and Patrice Baumel, who join a list of supporters that includes Pete Tong and Danny Tengalia. Title track ‘Down The Wall’ sets the tone with a warm stuttering bassline rolling beneath subtle melodies and a heady chugging groove. Eerie stabs ebb and flow whilst the surging bass groove bends from subtle spaciousness into towards an effervescent crescendo. ‘Clime’ continues the trippy vibes with barely-there percussion and a stunning melodic riff that soars alongside soulful vocal hums. ‘Cage Of Love’ fuses another pulsating groove with distorted bleeps and bags of atmosphere, whilst ‘Musicians’ takes us down the rabbit hole with driving analogue percussion, spectral melodies and a memorable sample – “what you’re listening to, are musicians forming psychedelic music under the influence of mind altering chemicals”.

Joe Cowie aka Kahwe has cut his teeth in the clubs of North England, warming up for the likes of Levon Vincent, Ben Klock, Leon Vynehall and Prosumer at his Selective Hearing residency. Meanwhile, his first two EPs on Anjunadeep have been acclaimed by Resident Advisor and supported by Laurent Garnier, Larry Heard and Mr. G. His growing reputation as a DJ has also taken him to Ibiza where he played the notorious Space Terrace, and with his eclectic new ‘San Salvadore EP’ set for release this November on Anjunadeep, he further establishes himself as one of the UK’s brightest talents. Title track ‘San Salvadore’ is a laid-back dancefloor roller, full of glistening melodies and intricate synths. ‘Prophets’ sees Joe indulge his nostalgic side, with bright melodies bubbling above a warm groove and throwback vocal in this slice of classic deep house. Rounding of the EP is ‘Patterns’, a surefire party-starter built around a killer bass groove. A serious dancefloor weapon in the right hands.

Frankfurt’s Matthias Vogt has assembled quite the back catalogue over the past decade, from his timeless work as one half of Motorcitysoul on Aus Music and Freerange Records, to the six albums released by his popular jazz ensemble [re:jazz]. Matthias now teams up with London label Anjunadeep for a string of releases, kicking off with the ‘Seven Summits EP’. Featured on the #1 iTunes Dance compilation ‘Anjunadeep 07’, title track ‘Seven Summits’ is a wistful trip through mystic melodies and haunting soundscapes, deftly blending delicate production with raw emotion. Growing from sparse strings and jaunty keys, ‘Schwarzbach’ is another piece of subtle melodic house, flowing through elegant atmospherics before swelling to an understated crescendo. ‘Can We All Be Still’ takes a leftfield turn; a beautiful downtempo track built around a simple stabbing bassline and ethereal meditative vocals from Pete Josef.

Canadian producer Clarian delivers three melodic house numbers on his new ‘Kill For Love EP’ on Anjunadeep, supported by Sasha, Guy Gerber, Axel Boman and Lee Burridge. Previously one half of Footprintz, Clarian has released on on Visionquest, Turbo, Life and Death and Culprit as a solo artist, not to mention his acclaimed collaborations with Guy Gerber and Seth Troxler. When not A&Ring Troxler’s Soft Touch imprint, a discography he’s inaugurated with this ‘If There Light At The End’ release, Clarian is a prominent figure in Berlin’s nightlife scene when he’s not trotting the globe between Paris, Dubai, Montreal, New York and London. First up ‘Kill For Love’ kicks off the package with tantalising keys and mournful vocals, wrapped around a surging acid bassline. ‘Lucid Dreamers’ employs yet more acid licks and ebbing chords, whilst a spoken word sample floats softly above elegant rising melodies. ‘I Was Born In Outer Space’ concludes the EP with a trippy journey through otherworldly pads, undulating bassline and as a heady vox sings blissfully throughout
