The debut EP from mysterious producer DJ Funeral – “Last Breath” – drops today on new Los Angeles label Body High (brainchild of Samo Sound Boy and Jerome of LOL Boys). When you hear it you’ll see that it’s an obvious choice of releasedate. This is some evil, twisted club music that will have you bouncing off the walls or maybe just banging your head against the speaker of the nearest dark, cavernous club.

BONUS: The aptly titled and apocalyptic “Hits from the gRAVE” mix that he did for DIS Magazine has been described as: “It’s the best mix in the history of all sound – including the big bang!”

When Drake calls out “I’m just sayin’, you could do better” on the crooning chorus of “Marvin’s Room”, most would assume that it’s directed at an ex lover who he happens to be drunk dialing from the club in a rare moment of existentially charged drunken loneliness.

But perhaps Samo Sound Boy and Jerome from LOL Boys (who together make up DJ Dodger Stadium) heard something else in those lines, maybe a call to revise the track into something even more emotionally resonant while adding some swelling club friendly drum patterns and pitching up the vocals to a chipmunk-on-helium level?

No way to be sure, but this track precedes the launch of Body High’s first EP – the new label that Samo & Jerome founded in an attempt to give a voice to underground dance music in the US. Definitely worth exposing yourself to is XLR8R’s recent interview with Samo Sound Boy where he talks about the positioning of the new label, saying:

“There’s something going on in the States, and it is really changing and getting better. [Body High] is our piece of the puzzle… We don’t exactly know what we’re doing right now, but people are willing to help, and it’s coming together”

The first DJ Dodger Stadium EP is out Oct. 4th on Body High.

L.A producer Samo Sound Boy released his new “Shuffle Code” EP on NYC label Trouble & Bass yesterday. British producer and Hyperdub/Hum + Buzz representative Ikonika hands us a remix of the 8-bit sounding title track that sounds more like something that’s played at the complete opposite of the swagged out, sun- and percussiondrenched Californian happenings where we imagine that Samo and his crew hang out, this is on that dark and twisted tip. The arpeggio synths that start off the track soon give way to a pulverizing beat that along with an evil vocal sample is probably best enjoyed in a dark and small basement club where the ceiling drips with condensed sweat amassed by a packed audience.

Young US producer Myrryrs is the latest signing to Discobelle Records and his “Feel U EP” has been in the works for a couple of months now but still has us giddy with excitement. His influences are listed as the dark, the light and the drums. That holy trinity is certainly evident in his productions.

Grab the EP now over at Juno or iTunes or Beatport.

The title track “Feel U” sees him square off light, angelic r’n'b esque vocals and disco synths against stuttering bass sounds for THE late night club hit of the darker months to come.

“C?U?M” is dark and brooding with a beat that is reminiscent of fingers snapping and a steamy trade off of eerie, pitched down telephone messages as vocals suggests late night encounters of the rated R nature.

“Without You” continues on the darker side of Myrryrs productions. Light vocals emerge from a soundscape of whizzing synths and a slow, dragged out beat that inadvertently will make your head nod and your feet move.

The title track receives three remixes from acts spread across the US and Europe, they are full of vibes – albeit they’re all different.

L.A producer Samo Sound Boy comes hot off the heels from his EPs for prominent US labels Palms Out and Trouble & Bass with a pounding tropical bass remix that incorporates a driven vibe with huge synth stabs and the added twist of urging vocals.

Paris based maestros of that new French club sound – Bambounou and Teki Latex – lays it down Eurostyle with a twisting and jerking beat. Teki brings forth a yearning side of his characteristic swag to the table for what could best be described as an all out odyssey into sweatfueled basement clubs from Atlanta to Paris all filled with a pulsating body of people losing their senses to the sleazy neonlit dimension of the French maestros.

Meanwhile, Charlotte production duo Clicks & Whistles gives us a taste of what’s to come on Discobelle Records. They’re releasing a split EP with Seattle based producer cedaa later this autumn. Their anthemic six minute remix focuses on an addictive synthline that seems to be lifted straight off an 80′s 8-bit computer game, it sinks its hooks into your brain and won’t let go.

Listen to the whole EP below and then download the bonus remix from Voltron!

Not a part of the original release package but no less exceptional is this Voltron remix, which adheres to a tightly paced early-rave workout including Footsteps shuffling down a hallway, tuning forks and a breakdown that sounds like two young dolphins in love who are communicating underwater, maybe plotting some kind of anti-human mutiny. Ecstatic, weird, fun dance music for the ages.

Samo Sound Boy, Clicks & Whistles and Teki Latex & Bambounou all contribute ‘pon remix duty, all of which you can hear in full on Soundcloud.
