5 Facts / 5 Tracks: KLP
22 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
Get ready to feel the heat from down under as Sydney’s own DJ, producer, songwriter, and vocalist, KLP, serves up another taste of southern hemisphere vibes with her latest single, ‘Never Let Me Down’, set to drop on April 26th as a teaser from her upcoming EP, ‘Alter’.
If you’ve been following KLP’s journey, you’d know that she’s no stranger to making waves. Her previous EP single, ‘Symphony’, was a blast of energetic, ’90s-inspired house that got major props from Mixmag, SiriusXM, and Triple J. With platinum records under her belt, ARIA Award nominations, and a legion of Aussie fans, KLP is steadily making her mark worldwide through collaborations with the likes of Skrillex, Loods, and Airwolf, along with releases on labels like MOS, Ultra, and Warner Music.


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1747431099" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

‘Never Let Me Down’ is a high-speed house anthem packed with pitch-shifted vocals, snappy hi-hats, bold piano stabs, and a beat that hits like a ton of bricks. It’s a throwback to the days when every track was designed to get the party pumping and the rooftops rocking. Consider yourself warned—this one’s gonna raise roofs far and wide.
According to KLP, the track came together during a studio session in Melbourne with her buddy Airwolf Paradise. ‘Never Let Me Down’ was born out of experimentation, playing around with vocals and speeding things up until they found the magic formula. In just a few hours, they had a rough demo that felt just right—it was one of those moments where everything clicked into place.
But ‘Never Let Me Down’ is just a taste of what’s to come on KLP’s EP, ‘Alter’, dropping on Sydney-based imprint Medium Rare Recordings. With three other killer tracks on board, including the frantic dance cuts ‘Vitamin’ and ‘Come Thru’, along with the sultry ‘I Know’, this EP promises to deliver a rollercoaster ride of sound and emotion.
Mark your calendars for April 26th, because when ‘Never Let Me Down’ hits the airwaves, you won’t want to miss it. Grab your copy here!
We caught up with KLP to find out about more about her backstory and a few tracks that have influenced her to date…
5 Facts
My studio is on the roof of my house. Well… it’s a converted attic, but all the music I make is up there hidden away from the world. 
I have quite a taste for a Margarita (the cocktail). So much so, that it’s become a running joke between myself and some friends that we have formed the Margarita Appreciation Society.
I grew up as a kid with a recording studio at my house. My dad was/is a songwriter/producer, so I would come home from school and hang out in the studio. 
I have a very extensive sunglasses collection! I think there are close to 50+ pairs on the go right now. 
You’ll never find me eating seafood. The taste, the texture, the smell – I am not a fan of any of it. Many people have tried to change my mind but I’m, yet to be swayed.
5 Tracks
Tiga – Sunglasses At Night 
When I was still 17, I had a fake ID and would go to this party in the inner west of Sydney called Mad Racket with some friends. It was always so mind blowing seeing everyone dressed up and dancing underneath this incredible gold roof at the venue. I can’t really remember much of the music that would get played – but this song takes me back 





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw6k0kMVcCI?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=855]








No Doubt – Just A girl 
I remember so vividly the very first time I saw this music video being played on a TV Show called RAGE here in Australia. My mind was blown to see Gwen strutting around singing about girl angst. What a moment. 





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








Madonna – Nothing Really Matters 
Peak Madonna for me. This song is just everything. The lyrics, the melody. It gives me joy on every listen – plus the video is incredible





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAVx9RKaLPU?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]








Fred Again feat. The Blessed Madonna – Marea  (We’ve Lost Dancing)
I don’t think I’m the only person that feels the same way about this song. It takes me back to covid days. I was walking around a park deep in Sydney lock down (it was horrible) and I pressed play on this and just cried as I walked. 





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4UkYBr1NnA?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]








Peggy Gou – 1+ 1 = 11 
I actually really admire how Peggy has put out 3 incredibly different tracks so far off her soon to be released album. After the success of Na Na Na – I can imagine it would be tempting as an artist to follow it up with similar vibes but she has pushed her musical boundaries since with each release and I’m here for it.

DT873 – Andrea Giudice
22 April 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Italian-born, London-based Andrea Giudice has made his main label debut with his new single ‘Dragon’ out now via Dirtybird Records.
Instantly kicking into high gear, Andrea Giudice doesn’t hold back with his electrifying grooves and relentless rhythms. Fueled with deep-tech energy, ‘Dragon’ commands attention as Giudice unleashes zippering synths and snappy percussion around the feisty vocal sample. An impressive offering from the rising artist, ‘Dragon’ is a magnetizing heater set to take over underground dancefloors worldwide. 
“For this release, I wanted to bring together the ideas of having a fat bass that moves nicely, as well as percussion parts that can provide a little of that Latin rhythm to match the vocal, so I collaborated with one of the singers I work with here to give the track that intensity and exact footprint. Almost all of the sounds were built using my own synths, such as the Minimoog Voyager for the fat baseline, the Korg MS 20 for a synth sequence that can raise the track to a particular level, and the drums using my kit instruments, followed by a little magic and art to finish.” – Andrea Giudice
Andrea Giudice is an underground European sensation, quickly earning praise with his party-centric DJ sets and skilled production that plays on his roots as a jazz pianist. A whizz on the synth, Andrea’s soaring leads, pumping beats and true carnival spirit has captured the attention of many, with frequent support from tech-house icons like The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola to name a few.

Renegade Riddims: Ekwols
22 April 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Mix together some dark energy, raw emotion, and a touch of studio magic, and what do you get? Ekwols: a Scottish Drum & Bass artist who’s making waves with a sound that’s urgent, a message that’s meaningful, and a love for electronic music that runs deep.
You might not have heard of Ekwols before, especially if you’re not knee-deep in the heavier, technical side of D&B. But Kenny Dargans, the brain behind Ekwols, is no stranger to the music scene. He’s part of the Evolution Chamber crew, a bunch of folks who are all about pushing boundaries and supporting each other.
Kenny’s been around the block when it comes to music. From fronting punk and ska bands to organizing music nights across Scotland, he’s done it all. He’s a master of fusion, blending dancehall, reggae, grime, and jungle with that pure soundsystem vibe.
By day, Kenny’s an electrical engineer, cooking up tech and coding solutions for the future. And his music reflects that same forward-thinking attitude. It’s complex, it’s curious, but most importantly, it’s got soul.
When Kenny puts out a new track, it’s not just about the music. It’s about the whole experience—the artwork, the vibe, the message. He’s all about gothic and horror aesthetics, with a healthy dose of mortality and melancholy thrown in for good measure.
But it’s not all doom and gloom with Ekwols. Kenny’s also a vocal advocate for equality and inclusion. He’s not afraid to speak out against racism, fascism, homophobia, and sexism. After all, rave culture was built on unity, and Kenny’s here to make sure that spirit lives on!
Trust me, you’ll be hearing a lot more from Ekwols. His voice is only getting louder.
Today Ekwols joins our Renegade riddims series with an absolutely banging mix! It’s dark and heavy from start to finish and features music from the likes of himself, Magnetudae, Task Horizon, Burr Oak, Joe Ford, Scout 2, Volatile Cycle, Dropset, Mizo, TNTKLZ, Killbox, Ed Rush, Pythius and loads more!
Check out the mix below and download it for free here! Ekowls also recorded a video for this mix which is below the SoundCloud player!

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
60 minutes of raw energy to soothe the disturbed.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Oh that’s a tough one as I really tried to push as many of my favourite tracks into this one as possible! I think Finalfix’s new bit “Forsaken” is my current obsession though!
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
This mix is 66% neuro, 30% funk, 2% emotional rollers and the special ingredient is 1% triple blends
Tell us about your next EP…
Well, I’m just wrapping up my next release at the moment for Evolution Chamber. I started the track back last year when I was away from home and contemplating some major life changes so it’s quite a personal one and I’ve recorded vocals for it already. I’m no singer but I find it extremely cathartic adding my voice and lyrics to a track, channelling some of that dancefloor energy into something even deeper for me personally and hopefully it resonates with other people too. There may be a little teaser of this particular one in the mix…
What have you got coming up? 
2024 is shaping up to be really busy for me, I have a bag of unfinished releases to wrap up, some massive collaborations underway, and a remix (or 3) on the schedule so there’s plenty of studio time on the horizon. I’m also starting to take bookings farther afield which is exciting, getting to meet and share music with lots of passionate ravers! See you folks out there!
When was the last time you actually raved?
Aside from playing gigs, my wife and I went to Sheffield about 3 weeks back to see Zardonic smash it… it was so good!
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
My message is short but powerful enough that I remind myself of it each day and think it’s worth sharing with you guys… “Life is short, so remember to be kind to others, kind to yourself and most importantly… Live Deliciously.”

Tomi & Kesh team up with Alessandro Diruggiero for a debut release on Nature this April 
22 April 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Together Tomi, Kesh and Alessandro produce an impulsive blend of high-energy tech house securing them releases on Elrow Music, Tech Avenue Records and La Pera Records. But their new 3-track EP ‘Bine Bine’ will see them land Nature Records for the first time. 
Title track ‘Bine Bine’ thuds into life amidst a glorious melee of tumbling drums and searing synth to emit a shoulder swinging melody underpinning a gospel-like vocal line. On the surface the track presents itself as a tough tech-house jam, but the vocals add and smoky, smooth texture to make for a groove-laden opener. 





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC9jUt0MUhI?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




‘Gauner’ is a brawny cut that showcases the trio’s knack for producing prominent, tech-house grooves by using diligently produced drum patterns, quirky effects and a multitude of contrasting vocal hooks. Closing out with ‘I Eat Music’ this track hits a hypnotic stride early on to lay the foundation for the remainder of the beat. It shimmers with sweeping pads, lush drums and fleeting vocals with a rumbling bass that breaks intermittently to make way for flurries of sax heavy overtones. 
The formation of Tomi & Kesh and Alessandro Diruggiero has proven to be a fruitful move. The Stuttgart duo and Milano native have a hit a rich vein of musical form with tracks such as ‘Chu Chu’, ‘Da Bump’, ‘Go Deep’ and ‘A Trip To Napoli’ and their upcoming ‘Bine Bine’ EP is yet another example of how to craft exemplary tech-house music with a character of its own. 
‘Bine Bine’ is available from the 26th April on wAFF’s Nature Records. 
We premiere ‘Bine Bine’ on Data Transmission, check it out here and grab it on Beatport.

22 April 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Ilario Alicante invites Argentina’s Sergio Saffe to Sound D’Elite as he unveils his latest EP, ‘Sigridd’.
Based in Còrdoba and resident at the city’s renowned institutions La Fábrica and Basement Club, Argentinian DJ/producer Sergio Saffe has been showcasing his dynamic take on house music via labels such as Stefano Noferini’s Deeperfect and Wheats’ BOX RED, with key support from leading names in Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Paco Osuna and Michael Bibi.

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




Rumbling and driving, the title cut, ‘Sigridd,’ combines zipping samples and glitchy textures under hooky female vocals to deliver an impactful dancefloor production already in rotation for Marco Carola. Meanwhile, ‘Be Wise’ merges a funky bassline, spiralling lead lines, and further murky vox samples to keep things simmering.
Sergio Saffe ‘Sigridd’ EP drops via Sound D’Elite on 26th April 2024.

Jean Pierre returns to the Boogeyman label with new EP ‘I Wanna Know’
22 April 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Jean Pierre returns to the Boogeyman label with new EP I Wanna Know feat. Ambrxse. Jean Pierre is a New York tastemaker with roots that go deep. 
Jean Pierre, a prominent figure in New York’s music scene, returns to the renowned Boogeyman label with his latest EP, “I Wanna Know,” featuring Ambrxse. With deep roots in his hometown, Jean Pierre has not only influenced the local scene but has also left an indelible mark on the global circuit with his unique fusion of hard-hitting yet emotive house grooves.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnCiO5s8mN0?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




“I Wanna Know” featuring Ambrxse sets the tone with its late-night grooves characterized by mesmerizing vocals and impeccably smooth hi-hats seamlessly interwoven with low-slung beats. “Down Under” follows suit as another dance floor anthem exuding sophistication, featuring atmospheric vocals and ethereal pads layered over pulsating rhythms.
The EP’s remixes offer diverse interpretations of the title track. “I Wanna Know (Let’s Boogie Dub)” injects a dose of bounce with its dub-infused basslines and urban flair, while “I Wanna Know (Zamoras Drums Remix)” takes on a more edgy persona with its twitchy motifs and deadpan vocals, creating an immersive after-party vibe.
With “I Wanna Know,” Jean Pierre delivers yet another essential release, showcasing his prowess as a tastemaker in the electronic music landscape.
I Wanna Know feat. Ambrxse (Let’s Boogie Dub) is a more bouncy cut with dubbed out low ends and plenty of streetwise swagger, while I Wanna Know feat. Ambrxse (Zamoras Drums Remix) is more edgy with twitchy motifs and deadpan vocals adding to the after party feel. 
This is another essential outing from Jean Pierre.

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!


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1803652371" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]


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!
