Fisherman Paradise City Breakers
Jolly Roger Groove EP

Butter Side Up’s 12th release, Weekend at Raymond’s Place’ comes from San Diego’s hotly tipped John Manhard. A densely textured and unpredictable six-track EP whose languid groove and swing will sound equally sweet warming up a dancefloor or late into the following day.Based in LA and resident of cult party V:isions, John’s been on a roll of late, with releases on the likes of Mui Mui, Perfect Timings & InTheBagg (alongside Dylan Payne) cementing him as a singular producer with an impressively broad reference board.The EP’s first track, ‘Shake Your Body’ immediately gets under the skin, a bouncy groove and synth-line pulling you under its command. Over the next 30-odd minutes the spell doesn’t lift - deep house tropes twist and turn playfully over shuffling breaks and swinging basslines, reminiscent of West-Coast house’s finer moments. Manhard’s studio-craft and ear for the unpredictable give a fresh perspective to a much revered and distinctively Pacific-coast sound.This is music for the fuzzy margins either side of peak time. It’s fitting that Hamish first met and heard John’s music at a hazy afters in LA back in 2022, drawn to a selection of tracks which were largely his own. Two years later these ideas have refined to form another stellar release on BSU, complete with original artwork from Max Binski and scheduled for release in early October.

All comes together to present the 3rd release on La Rama Records. Nahash provides five pieces of varied influence for a cohesive effect, downtempo dance steppers to cinematic breaks for raw human motion.After releases on Shanghai’s SVBKVLT and Lyon’s POLAAR, Nahash goes local with brick and mortar operation La Rama. Working with New Jack samples and obscure orchestral Jazz, ‘Stockpiling’ is Nahash in a dance floor style, providing discerning DeeJays a tune for every moment of the night.

DJ Pipe and his Global North label reactivate with the ‘Health Bar’ EP—serving up four fresh cuts showcasing their typically dynamic and cerebral house-music-sound. Pull up a stool, inhale deeply and see that your energy levels are fully replenished…A1 “Whirl Dee” comes in hot touting filtered loops, scribbled oscillations and a catchy bassline to make the people feel fine - Big Dance Energy! “Mystery Shopper” offers up more of the hot-stepping and highly-swung percussion upon which Pipe made his name. Sassy stabs and a mixed bag of squelches complete the picture.Flip it over and find “Deeper Strains” leading the B-side—evoking turn-of-the-millennium progressive with its richly atmospheric pads, rolling grooves and elegant arrangement. “Just Relax!” brings the set to a dramatically dubbed-out conclusion with tumbling tribal drums and crafty chords, ultimately reminding us that the Health Bar is a venue dedicated to rejuvenation, wellbeing and gratification… don’t forget to sweat.
