Quiet Dawn - It's All About Freedom
19 April 2024
First Word Records is very proud to bring you 'It's All About Freedom', the second single from Quiet Dawn's forthcoming album 'Celebrate'.

French multi-instrumentalist Quiet Dawn has been an integral part of the First Word family for a full decade now. His diverse catalogue has included organic ambient-jazz (2018's 'Human Being - The Short Story Of The Reed'), Dilla-esque instrumental beats (2023's 'Simple' beat tape), head nod Hip Hop (the 2015 debut album 'The First Day') and broken beat (2022's 'Movements' EP).

The forthcoming album from Quiet Dawn (real name Will Galland) takes on an array of broken beat flavours and features a few luminaries from that scene along the way (to be revealed!).

This second single is a 5-minute blast of uplifting jazzy samba-tinged bruk. An infectious piano riff, accompany rhode stabs, squelchy synths, a funked-up bassline, a percussive rythym track and a joyous vocal call from Galland, and his partner Pauline.

Ministry of Sound Unveil a New Campaign and Video Marking a New Era for the Club
19 April 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Back in ’91, in the heart of Elephant and Castle, Ministry of Sound kicked off its journey, becoming a hot spot for electronic music lovers in South London. They had a simple mantra: prioritize sound, then lighting, and lastly design. Fast forward 30 years, and this joint is a global party hub, drawing crowds from all corners of the planet week after week.
Lately, they’ve been all in on a big project. Since August, Creative Director Simon Moore has been on a mission to give the club a whole new look and feel. They revamped their website, “All Gone South,” and switched up their programming. Plus, with the help of art director Galen Bullivant and curator from Satellite, they cooked up a slick video to shake up how folks see the club.
Inspired by that dreamy vibe from ‘Singing In The Rain,’ they wanted to capture that same feeling you get when you hit the dance floor. The club itself became the stage to showcase all the cool updates inside. They even drew parallels between the club’s evolution and the human body, using dance as a metaphor.
Dancers Zakarius Harry and Delilah Grocott Cain played a big role, using their moves to show the progression of a night out at Ministry of Sound. It’s like finding your sweet spot away from the daily grind, where the music takes over and you can just let loose. They glide through the different spaces, vibing with each unique feature, all set to a killer soundtrack by Magnus Brandt.
The team wanted to get back to basics, focusing on the club’s core values and putting the spotlight back on the music. And they nailed it. The video captures the club’s diverse vibes, showing just how far they’ve come in 30 years.
“The video shows off Ministry of Sound in a way never seen before. 
Sometimes less is more, and in the case of the club it meant literally stripping things back to reconnect with the rawness that was evident when Ministry of Sound first opened its doors.
On the opening night, there was no alcohol, three flashing lights and some moody security guards keeping an eye on a mix of people all there to hear good music on an amazing sound system, which has parallels to what we have done. We’ve plenty of exciting shows coming up and have ambitious plans and projects as the club continues to evolve. 
We want to keep pushing the limits and expectations of what nightclubs can be. As part of this evolution, we have a brand new website launching, a bespoke fragrance now found exclusively in the club made by Mark Buxton – which is the first of its kind – and a packed summer season’s worth of shows including Ministry of Pride with Fat Tony, Bob Sinclar, Demi Riquisimo, Piano People, Ammara, Bambounou, NTS, Foreverland, 31 Years of Jungle Mania feat. General Levy and Future Disco with Dimitri from Paris to name a few.” 
Mike HollingsheadThey went all out with the filming too, using everything from Snorri cams to drones, giving us a real cinematic experience. And forget those short, clickbaity ads. This video’s a bit longer, bringing back that old-school campaign vibe.
Ministry of Sound isn’t just looking back at its glory days; it’s paving the way for the next generation of nightlife. They’re all about creating a space where music lovers can come together without sacrificing quality. This video? It’s just the beginning of their next chapter.
Oh, and speaking of new vibes, and thinking outside of “The Box”, they’ve even launched their own fragrance, courtesy of scentologist Mark Buxton. Plus, they’ve sprinkled in some magic around the club, like a fancy two-bicle toilet for the ladies with a secret surprise feature…
A new state of intention and the dawn of a new era, this is the Ministry of Sound but not as you may know it…

Renegade Riddims: NoDave
19 April 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Introducing, a guy who needs little to no introduction, NoDave, also known as Dave Columbo Jenkins. You may have caught his raspy voice on Vision Radio or spotted his rugged mug at the Drum&BassArena Awards. Perhaps you’ve stumbled upon his musings on UKF, DJ Mag, Mixmag, or other platforms. Well, guess what? Now it’s time to hear him drop some beats!
NoDave’s been diving deep into the dance music and DJ scene since his wild teen years in Cardiff’s buzzing late ’90s rave scene. These days, he’s the brains behind his own editorial brand and record label, 1 More Thing. NoDave is a prolific journalist who’s all about documenting the underground music scene. He’s worked with, hosted, and contributed to some of the biggest names and platforms in the biz. From editing iDJ Magazine to co-authoring books with legends like DJ Phantasy and Ray Keith, NoDave’s been in the game for ages. But somewhere along the line, he got so wrapped up in the world of writing that he almost forgot his true passion: DJing.
Fast forward to summer 2022, and the Dubtendo crew pulls him out of retirement for a spin at Boomtown Festival. After a 15-year hiatus, he’s back behind the decks, making up for lost time with his signature blend of tunes that couldn’t care less about tempo, genre, or any sense of normalcy. Since his comeback, he’s been tearing up dance floors across England and Wales, hitting up spots like Hit N Run, Planet Wax, Neuroheadz, and more.
If you’ve ever resonated with the unique vibe this slightly quirky, Welsh gentleman has infused into the scene, get ready to groove to his selections as we (VERY excitedly) welcome him to our Renegade Riddims series. I must admit, I was genuinely surprised when Dave reached out to me about contributing a mix. This is a day I never anticipated, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board.
NoDave has curated a mix that stays true to his ethos of not bothering about tempo, genre or sub-genre and he has well and truly smashed it! I, for one, cannot wait to see him play out and I really hope that day soon comes! His mix features music from the likes of Skorpion, Scartip, DJ Sofa, Total Science & DLR, K Jah, Sully, J: Kenzo, Bad Company and more!
Check out the mix below and download it for free here!

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
All the genres. One tempo. Deep, scatty, occasionally spicy. Yo!
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
There are quite a few forthcoming tracks from 1 More Thing on here. But instead of having to pick favourites out of them (cos they’re all sick), I’ll go for DJ Sofa’s Only Boy I Ever Loved. I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard it. On the dancefloor at Rupture. Room two, Fold. Blew my head off at the time and turns me inside out every time since. Such a soulful, tender, emotional piece of jungle.
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
Belligerence
What have you got coming up?
We got some MASSSSSIVE moves from 1 More Thing in the coming months as we gear up to celebrate our 2nd birthday on June 22 at Planet Wax. There’s a lot of really exciting things happening there including releases from Skorpion and Scartip and a whole bunch of festival takeovers. I’m really blessed to have a bit of a team now too so big shouts to Annelies, Marc, Lauren and Shona.
I’m also working with Eastman co-writing his book, which is an absolute honour. His influence on our culture is unfathomable. It’s going to be an insightful and very compelling and inspiring read. Big up Eastman.
DJ wise I’m playing at Shindig, Gemfest, Neuroheadz and Big Love festivals in the UK and PoJaine festival in Poland. I’ve played overseas years ago but always on a blaggy / right-place-right-time-place type of flex so I consider this to be my first proper internatty booking. I’m absolutely buzzing. I thought my DJ days were over a long time ago and I really relish these opportunities.  
When was the last time you actually raved?
Four days ago! Hit & Run in Manchester for 1985. Wild night. Humungous shouts to Metrodome actually. His two hour set was the stuff dreams are made of! Best thing I’ve heard in a long time.    
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Support the DIY and the independents! Go to local clubs and support your town or city’s scene. If there isn’t a night for your music, then try and start it. Or build a rig and do your own. Be the best music fan you can possibly be because art has so much more value than it’s currently perceived to have. Get stuck in and do as much cool stuff as you can, support the shit out of stuff, gas your mates up 100000% more than you already do and try not to be a dick. Oh, and keep away from those naff Splice vocal samples. You’re much more creative than that!

Rise Festival Announces Phase 1 Lineup For 10th Edition Of ‘Party On Top Of The World’ 
19 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
Rise Festival has announced its phase 1 lineup as it prepares to celebrate its huge 10th anniversary as the ‘party on top of the world’. 
The world’s biggest independent ski festival has delivered a lineup drop that underlines its status. The first headline act for an unmissable set in the snow is Chase & Status making a welcome return to the Rise main stage. 
Also heading to Les 2 Alpes in France from 7th – 14th December, are Gorgon City, Hannah Laing, Sammy Virji, blk., Ewan McVicar, and Bou. Arielle Free (BBC Radio 1) lines up to celebrate 10 years of Rise with a one-off ‘Freeze Your Mind’ party, with more big performances incoming from Black Traffic, Badger, [IVY] and Issey Cross. With more exciting announcements to come, Rise is the ultimate way to round off the year – a high-octane mix of unrivalled skiing, quality music, and unforgettable parties. 





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5_akX7Jads?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




Rise Festival opens the Winter Ski Season every year and welcomes an up-for-it, global community of like-minded party people (over 48 countries in 2023). From skiing beginners to seasoned snowboarders, through to those just there for the music, parties, and views, this year will be the best yet as everyone gathers for 10 years of Rise and an adventure that brings the world’s best electronic music artists to a stunning, snow-covered village to play across three main stages (two outdoor), five indoor venues, and one transformed warehouse – the ultimate afterparty space.
Rise Festival guarantees hard-to-believe moments, like raving 3000m up a mountain, paragliding through the Alps, partying around the fire pits, relaxing in the spa, and more. Even the food is special at Rise with a wide range of delicious options on offer and some unforgettable experiences such as; Lunch In The Clouds – on the terrace of Michelin Guide restaurant Le Diable Au Coeur 2400m high with incredible mountain views; Summit Supper – taking the lift to the top of the mountain to enjoy a tempting dinner at Le Diable Au Coeur and spectacular twilight views; and Hommage Du Fromage – an unmissable mix of cheesy music and traditional French cheese. Guests can sing along as they enjoy moreish fondue or raclette with charcuterie and plenty of vino. 
There’s nothing like enjoying a day of the best mountain skiing followed by a night of food, parties and fun, soundtracked by an array of world-beating DJ talent.
Chase & Status have had an incredible year, winning a BRIT Award for Producer of the Year, enjoyed two massive hits with ‘Disconnect’ and ‘Baddadan’, and reinvented themselves yet again with new album/mixtape ‘2 Ruff, Vol 1’. There is no better choice to lead the 10th-anniversary charge and get the Rise crowds jumping.
Gorgon City take to the Rise turntables after 2024 highs including a Las Vegas residency at LIV and closing out the Yuma Stage at Coachella. They’ll be saving their best bass-heavy house as they come full circle from playing the first ever Rise Festival to landing for the Rise 10th celebrations. 
Hannah Laing is back at Les 2 Alpes and ready to bang out the up-tempo grooves that have seen her hit massive crossover success this year. Anyone who saw Sammy Virji’s set at Rise last year will be booking a ticket ASAP as the fast-rising star returns again with his unique meld of house, garage, and bass. Irish star blk. also did the business last year and is back to step it up with his tough brand of techno. 
Ewan McVicar is one of house music’s breakout stars of recent years, using his newfound profile to give back and build an underground scene in his home town of Ayr in Scotland. Now in demand all over the world, expect funked-up house that moves the dancefloor when he lands for his Rise debut. 
He’s joined on the lineup by Bou, fresh from huge success alongside headliners Chase & Status on hit single ‘Baddadan’. Arielle Free can always be relied upon to get the ‘party on top of the world’ started. The BBC Radio 1 star brings her ‘Free Your Mind’ party to Rise with a special high altitude ‘Freeze Your Mind’ show. Fast-paced techno comes from Black Traffic, while house and garage bangers arrive courtesy of Badger. Bristol’s rising star [IVY] skilfully mixes up the d&b breaks and pumped up 4/4 beats, and the beautiful voice from drum & bass smash hit ‘Bittersweet Goodbye’, Issey Cross rounds off an epic Phase 1 artist lineup.
With today’s announcement, Rise Festival has delivered a statement of intent. 10 Years of Rise will be an action-packed festival in the snow, backed by a cutting-edge soundtrack, set against the stunning backdrop of the Alps – a week-long experience they’ll be talking about for the next 10 years. 
Ticket options start at just £319 per person including a 6-day lift pass, available from www.rise-festival.com.

Cucina Sonora presents the SMILE EP
18 April 2024 - Vianney Ausseil
Italian DJ/producer Pietro Spinelli aka Cucina Sonora releases his SMILE EP, out now via PDR. 
Cucina Sonora, began blending classical piano with modern electronics in 2015, launching his music career with a self titled EP and subsequently toured Europe after the release of his album ‘Evasione’ in 2017. He then partnered with INRI Label and Sugar Music, releasing three singles that culminated to his second album ‘Notte.’ He then did a three-year stint in Berlin, until moving to Milan, where he started working on the EP.
A cross between electro-house and melodic techno, and inspired by the likes of Mr. Oizo, Justice, James Hype and more, SMILE is it’s own party, incorporating world music with electronic music.
“The EP was born out of pure fun, out of the need to go back to making music without any kind of expectations. I turned on every instrument I could turn on and lost myself playing any melody over any type of beat and then summing it all up into 5 straighter cut tracks. ‘Rubber Spaceship’s Mission’ is a simple song with a groove balanced between aggressive and bouncing, a song to listen to at maximum volume and jump up from start to finish.” Pietro shares with us.
Stream Rubber Spaceship’s Mission, and check out the EP below. Also make sure to follow Cucina Sonora on Spotify for more music.

Overall, it’s pretty faithful and respectful to both tracks, very well produced and features a great vocal from Duriel Daley who nails […]
