Broken District is the new label launched by the creative minds of Jus Jam, Momla and Antwan. The project is born with the idea of exploring alternative music styles that blend the influences of the label’s creators, including Jazz, House-Music, Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, and experimental music.In order to give a global vision over the label’s territory, Broken District is launching with a series of VA EPs.Momla is kicking-off the label’s first release with an instrumental Funk ballad. He is using Soul samples, synths and an electronic piano to create a smooth vibe, led by a catchy bassline.Up next, Hip-Hop producers Yepes & Plae Casi are stepping out of their favourite field to incorporate House-Music rhythmic elements over an old-school R&B flavour.Berlin-based producer Marian Tone is closing the first side with a laidback, jazzy Hip-Hop instrumental.The other side opens with the Copenhagen-based talent Jeppe Wolmer. “Normal Position” is a modern take on Disco & Boogie, with a rhythmic bassline and reverbing Rhodes, ending with acid infused synths.Concluding this first release, label’s co-founder Jus Jam gives us another glimpse of his musical talent through a dreamy journey that blends House-Music, Hip-Hop and Jazz together.Welcome to the Broken District.

Following a series of VA EPs, Broken District releases its first mini LP: “South Side” by Sofatalk. The collaboration between the label and the Italian artist feels natural, as they share a mutual vision of music, a nifty blend of jazz and soul-influenced electronic music landscape. Throughout the 6 tracks of “South Side”, SofaTalk explores and twists jazz, broken beat, house music and funk, resulting in the most accomplished work to date for the producer, but also for the label.

Finally, the second EP from Mondo Phase Rec is out. Joining the catalog is another legend of electro/electroclash: Sneak-Thief. Half of the legendary Polygamy Boys, Michel has always stood out over the years with his retro-nostalgic melodies and electro-funk sound. The vinyl consists of four solid tracks that serve as a litmus test for the entire musical journey.The record opens with 'Fashion Victim,' a classic electroclash track with a compelling vocoder as the main motif, followed by 'All Let Go,' a dub version of one of his historic pieces that remains incredibly relevant. It features an intense and hypnotic electro-funk bassline.The B-side kicks off with 'Der Herzensbrecher,' featuring drum breaks and futuristic melodies straight from the 80s. To conclude this journey, 'In A Distorted Wonderland' is the toughest and most introspective track, with sharp and paranoid leds, bringing us to the core of Sneak-Thief's production. No repress.

Digging Deeper Music comes back with their reissue series with another old gem from E.Fatovich well known with his aka Joe Montana , but this time with the seminal first works on GO-DIVA aka.

After a 3-year hiatus, Noerk is back with a spacey acidic three tracker plus a rolling peaktime remix from our good friend and really talented producer Lee Burton. Untitled_02 is an electrified, deep yet funky tribute to Vangelis (as we perceive it) with lush synthesizers and grooving 303s. Pending forties is reminding us of the 90s era when sample based breakbeat and acid realised they were made for each other like peanut butter and jelly. It's Over (original mix), on the other hand, follows a more straightforward 4 on the floor loop and lets the jazzy chords and the intergalactic melodies do all the work. Lee Burton's remix wraps up the EP nicely offering us a certified banger with 90s house elements that can destroy any dancefloor. We have entered the wormhole. Time and space are no longer relevant. Only feelings.
