DJ HH Vol.1 [Limited 12" Vinyl]



Leeds based DJ HH presents his debut vinyl release!
Get ready for a a nostalgic trip comprised of two tracks that channel the mid-90s Happy Hardcore era. Limited to just 250 copies, this release is a must-have for those who long for the days when Happy Hardcore ruled the underground.

Side A: 'Love Again'
'Love Again' is an ode to the '96-'97 vocal Happy Hardcore vibes. The bright, uplifting melody sits perfectly alongside punchy kick drums and a euphoric vocal hook, evoking the pure energy of the genre’s heyday. It’s a track that feels like a love letter to the classic era of Happy Hardcore, a time when tracks were filled with positivity and hands-in-the-air moments. The production feels polished yet authentic, capturing that timeless sound.

Side B: 'Rampage'
The B-side, 'Rampage,' shifts gears slightly, diving deeper into the raw, breakbeat-driven sound of '95-'96. With its rave stabs, roaring piano lines, and hard-hitting breaks, it pays homage to the harder edge of the genre while keeping the energy high. This track taps into the grittier side of rave culture, yet it still delivers that sense of euphoria that Happy Hardcore is known for. Notably, it had a cheeky play at Glastonbury as well.

DJ HH debut Vinyl is out now and there are only a few left, as the man behind is currently into progress of scheduling his second plate, sooner than expected...

Loop EP by Sknit [Vinyl + Digital]


At the end of May, the established footwork/bass label Polish Juke released their first material in over a year, surpassing expectations with a standout offering from local rave footwork prince Dubsknit. He is one of the most active figures within the Polish bass scene for the last 15 years, better known of his We Rob Rave action, a co-creator of the Krakow crew dobrebity.pl, crafting also beats for various artists such as Wuzet, Wysokie Loty, and MaÅ‚olat. Additionally he's defined as one of the architects of the Polish grime sound (Dzieci Basu).
As an essential member of Polish Juke, he had to offer something special for his personal record so this time under the alias SKNIT he presents 'LOOP' -  a hectic six-track EP.

The EP kicks off with a double-header of 'SLUSH' and 'HEAT' where thick kicks merge with synthetic, roaring sounds and skeletal melodies. Dubsknit’s approach here strips down his infamous lush WRR style, focusing instead on electro-infused, dubby bare bones of dance music. Midway through the record, we dive into ravier territories with the Chicago-esque aesthetics of “FOOSY” and the energetic, beautifully vocal-chopped 'YO FREE'. The peak-time bomb 'BLOOD', a collaboration with his WRR mate PZG, is set to be a crowd and DJ favorite. The EP concludes with the halftime-leaning, euphoric 'I COULD LOVE' showcasing SKNIT’s mastery in working around vocals, reminiscent of his hits in the We Rob Rave/Dubsknit realm.

Regarding his WRR affiliation, there is a new WRR album in the pipeline including 19 killers. 'WE ROB RAVE X' will come out in August and you can check out some sneak previews here.



The 'LOOP' EP by SKNIT comes out digitally and on a limited number of 10" vinyl copies - Available via Bandcamp.

'Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion - 1999-2012' by Acrelid



New York based label, Dance Data have released one of the most exciting vinyl records of 2024!

Acrelid (a.k.a. John Lee Richardson) emerges from the depths of the UK rave scene with "Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion - 1999-2012". This is the first ever vinyl release of Acrelid, meticulously curated onto 15 tunes (from a total number of 134 originally) that encapsulate the raw energy and eclectic influences of that era. This 15-track LP is a good example of Richardson's DIY rave life between 1992-2012.

Acrelid's soundscapes traverse the vast terrain of jungle, acid house, and beyond. From the breakneck intensity of 'Pure Knowledge' to the drum & bass rendition of 'The Twilight Zone' theme, each track showcases his prowess in crafting sinister beats that drive with a relentless rhythm.


But it's not just the music that makes this release noteworthy; it's the attention to detail that elevates the experience. Richardson has been always focusing on cool videos and goodies among his banging releases. So, his debut vinyl is accompanied by a meticulously designed 16-page zine, crafted by the man himself, which pays homage to the anti-rave propaganda of yesteryears. With nods to publications like Rave Maker and Illegal Rave Tape Magazine, the zine serves as both a historical artifact and a love letter to the 90s rave culture that shaped Acrelid's sonic journey.

"Illegal Rave Tapes Selektion - 1999-2012" is more than just a collection of tracks; it's a trip way back, calling all loyal ravers to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of a sweating warehouse. It is hard, illicit, authentic and it highlights the underground vibes that inspire the heavyweight generations that wanna be free forever.

The new vinyl release of Octotrax




Octotrax, the brainchild of the UK's nu-rave aficionado Sam White, continues to push boundaries with their latest EP release, that marks the 5th vinyl output of the label. This installment seamlessly melds the classic eurohouse rhythms of the 90s with a progressive touch and electrifying vibes, redefining 'oldschool' in a refreshing manner.

Scheduled for release in June 2024, this EP promises as usual to become a collector's item with only 100 limited vinyl copies available. It is comprised of four tracks - two brand new tracks, 'Superlover' by Pianohead and 'Want U 2 Stay' by Retropolis, alongside two highly requested gems from the label's back catalogue of digital goodness, '2'os Beer'os' by Sparky and 'Dirty Blame' by Pianohead.

In the opener 'Superlover', Pianohead delivers a high-energy anthem that immediately grabs the listener's attention with an effective blend of retro eurohouse vibes with modern production techniques, setting the tone for the EP. 'Dirty Blame', is another offering from Pianohead, mainting the big pianos and 4x4 progression, making it a standout addition to the EP.

On the flip side, the magician Sparky (a.k.a. Sanxion) drops his '2'os Beer'os' on a literal dose of playful energy with its funky grooves and quirky samples. Last but not least, 'Want U Stay 'by Retropolis is a mesmerizing blend of euphoric melodies and driving breakbeats that captivates from start to finish. This track serves as the perfect conclusion to an EP that expertly balances nostalgia with innovation.

A definite winner introducing sounds that Sam White rocked the stage of Rejuvenation last month in Leeds. All in all, this great Octo-wax is worth every single penny!

JAKAZiD drops a 100% Mutant Bass Records mix

"I admit to there being glaring omissions here - it was hard to cram everything I wanted to play into 45 mins as well as namecheck all the important people (my original attempt at this set was an hour long and I had to cut it down!), but I think it's a decent attempt at chronicling some of the label's fantastic output from both the early days and the reboot.
