Crate Digging with Andrew Wowk – October

Our resident selector Andrew Wowk drops 10 essential tracks for your crate during October

Syrte vs Visions of Glosters – Statellite Funk (Syrte Intergalactic Uplink) [Science Cult]
https://www.juno.co.uk/products/syrte-visions-of-glosters-759-370/745161-01/

Crunchy, up-tempo electro that blends spacey effects and atmospherics with chunky drums and growling bass.

Ralph Session – Why Does It Feel [Half Assed]
https://www.beatport.com/release/for-the-dancers/2726564

Classic house flavours dripping with funk and soul, reminiscent of early Masters At Work dancefloor jams.

Fabrizio Rat – Lucid Dream (Ø [Phase] Remix) [Involveo Records]
https://involve-records.bandcamp.com/album/inv027-fabrizio-rat-lucid-dream

Perfect for the early morning dancers, this is beautifully crafted melodic techno that relies on a slowly evolving atmosphere.

BLD – Quixotic [BLD Tape Recordings]
https://bldtaperecordings.bandcamp.com/album/toby

Rave revival at its very best: stomping breakbeats, bubbling 303s and lush pads.

Manuel Sahagun – On Point [Freerange Records]
https://freerangerecords.bandcamp.com/album/awake-ep

A bright, uplifting cut that takes equal inspiration from Balearic nu disco and New York deep house.

Deetron – Photon (Gerd Janson 808 Remix) [Character Holland]
https://www.juno.co.uk/products/deetron-photon-remixes-gerd-janson-carl-cox/753377-01/

A delightful take on one of Deetron’s biggest tunes that flips the original on its head while still maintaining the catchy lead that made it so loveable.

Rory St John – Castle [Voitax]
https://voitax.bandcamp.com/album/excommunication

Leftfield, atmospheric techno that focuses on heady atmospherics, but will also work on a dancefloor thanks to its gritty, lo-fi beats and rumbling bass.

Peter Van Hoesen – Monopoly Live Take [Time To Express]
https://timetoexpress.bandcamp.com/album/uncovered-2008-2018-vol-1

One of many previously unreleased studio jams from the Belgian master featured on Uncovered Volume 1, this is a wonky modular workout that serves as an excellent DJ tool.

Jack Boston Feat. Madcap – Always There [Symmetry Recordings]
https://fanlink.to/SYMM029

Essential drum & bass from a rapidly rising star of the scene. Using his background as a guitarist to inject a playful, live element to his music, Boston reinvigorates the classic liquid sound.

Locked Groove – Do Not Freak (Scuba x Skream Remix) [Hotflush Recordings]
https://lockedgroove.bandcamp.com/album/remixes-2

Sharp breakbeats, cheery piano stabs, and warm, enveloping bass take one of Locked Groove’s best tracks to new, uplifting heights.

HeartWerk – Organic [Audiophile Deep]
https://www.beatport.com/release/fresh/2723057

Low down, chunky progressive flavoured breaks with a deadly acid lead.
