Louis Futon- Couchsurfing
When experimental electronic producer Louis Futon left his native Philadelphia for Los Angeles, he found himself bouncing between friends’ couches for a year. The experience was one of the best times of his life, with each day bringing new adventures and spaces to explore. And yet, despite the discontinuity of settling into a new city, Futon perceived a common thread between every new place he stayed: he always felt at home. Now, Futon is unleashing Couchsurfing, his sophomore LP that seeks to pay homage to that journey by creating a coherent vibe across a spectrum of sounds.

Josh Pan– go with the fire Video
In his first release since his hit collaboration “Supersonic (My Existence)” with Skrillex, Josh Pan delivers “go with the fire” and its accompanying music video. Directed by Dante Marino, Pan’s “go with the fire” music video is available now via 88rising, and serves as the first installment of a 2-part short film. The music video follows its protagonist, a man draped in angel wings, and a woman, his intrepid sidekick. Chronicling various heists performed by the elusive pair, the video sees the man and woman stealing diamond-encrusted watches from a jewelry store to hot-wiring cars. Culminating in one adrenaline packed final scene, the pair are seen breaking into a villa, where the angel wing adorned protagonist finds a familiar angel bust. Upon picking up the angel figurine, the homeowner stumbles upon the pair, and chases the angel-winged man outside before the story’s fateful end. A producer, songwriter, vocalist, DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Josh Pan is a jack-of-all-trades. Never sticking to any singular genre or conventional style, Josh Pan constantly reinvents the wheel of what artistic breadth can and should be. His latest “go with the fire” reflects his ever-changing artistic pursuits, and is best described as a dive into the unknown, or as Pan puts it, “going with the fire.”

Lakou Mizik & Joseph Ray- No Rival (NERO Remix)
Anjunadeep warmly welcomes legendary electronic act NERO for their Anjunadeep debut with their remix of Lakou Mizik & Joseph Ray’s ‘No Rival!’.
The remix sees the collision of two worlds for Joseph Ray as he partners with fellow NERO founding member Daniel Stephens to reinterpret his single with Lakou Mizik. Building on the fervent, unrestrained energy of the original, the duo harness the passion of its chants, Rara horns, and percussion, to transform it into an electrifying, bass-heavy two-step anthem. The fourth single off the album ‘Leave the Bones’, ’No Rival! pays homage to Rara, the music of the Haitian streets. Just like the original, NERO’s remix of ‘No Rival!’ is full of swagger, like the bands that march through the towns of the island nation, toasting and trying to outdo one another. Retaining the spirit of the lyrics, the remix emphatically says “Listen up! There’s no better band than Lakou Mizik!”

The pace is turned up a notch on the flip-side, with stank-face inducing textures apropos for the title of “Nasty” a tune that layers the hypnotic and conspicuous vocals of Kiddy Smile over a bounce-loaded bassline with underlying rhythmic drums and sirens to evoke a bustling party atmosphere.

Goldie- Sunlight feat. Lady Blackbird
The upcoming new album from the duo spans genres and weaves its way in and out of drum & bass, techno, electronica and soul music, stitching tapestries together to create a soundtrack that would feel as at home in the club as it would vibrating through solitary headphones. The record, which features some incredibly exciting and varied names including neo soul up and comer Greentea Peng, south London alt-jazz hero Tom Misch, and British blues and soul vocalist Natalie Duncan, shows off both the rich history and calibre of Goldie and James Davidson individually but also how they can create something together that’s so cohesive and forward thinking. The sound the duo have been able to create is also partly due to their geographical locations over the past 18 months, bouncing ideas between Davidson’s studio in Bournemouth on the south coast and Goldie’s house in Phuket, Thailand; showing two songwriters and producers at the top of their game responding to a year and a half in very different atmospheres but similar trying circumstances.
