124Recordings return with the third instalment in the 124Black series.This outing very much carries on in the same vein and spirit of previous releases,showcasing new and upcoming producers.First up is Demuja.Fresh from his work on Shadow Child's Food Music label with 'Everytime'.Less is most definitely more here,as he strips the track down to a heavy kick,rumbling low-end and a vocal hook that just goes around and around in your head, set against sharp hats and a metallic stab.Next are two producers based in Paris-The Knight Cats.Having released on Nervous and Trax Records,the influence of Detroit and Chicago music of the late 80's/90's can clearly be heard on 'We Know That',with its Roland bassline and Casio RZ1 hats leading the track in a darker direction after the breakdown.Next is another newcomer to the label.tIJN debut 'Diss You' follows on from his 'Silver Lining' release with Djebali.Stepping away from the traditional 4/4 beat,he opts for a rolling breakbeat and kick driven bassline with plenty of MPC thrown in for good measure.Last but by no means least the EP closes with Jekyll's 'Transition Dub'.Rattling percussion sets up the relentless groove of the track,with a hypnotic vocal and futuristic sounding bassline ending the release very much on a high. Early support from Ryan Elliot (Panorama Bar/DC10), Gerd (4Lux), De Sluwe Vos

124Black is the new sub label from 124 Recordings with the aim of promoting a darker, harder sound firmly rooted in the underground. All releases are strictly limited and available only on 10" transparent vinyl. First up is Jacob B, rapidly gaining a lot of recognition for his deep and chunky club cuts, aptly demonstrated on "Basement Crowd" with solid drums, suspense filled strings, a spoken word vocal and a bassline that shows you exactly where the title of this track comes from. Next is another 124 family member, Liam Geddes' late night jam, "Somebody In The House". With it's haunting stabs, groovy baseline and snare rolls, this a simple, yet very effective track that works equally as well in a small club or large warehouse! On the B-side, Cecil returns to 124 with "BV" a track very much aimed at the dancefloor and replete with the producer's signature deep stabs and chords, that work alongside a sub bassline that you feel rather than hear. A peak time track that has been doing the business this summer.
