Camila Jun blends House Music with Samba Spirit in “Carnival Fever”
13 September 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Camila Jun Blends House Music with Samba Spirit in “Carnival Fever” an Immersive Journey into Brazilian Culture, out today on Wh0 Plays.
Known for delivering true sonic experiences through house music, Camila Jun is making her debut on Wh0 Plays with the vibrant track “Carnival Fever.” This time, she’s taken things further by connecting Brazilians and piquing the curiosity of international listeners, encapsulating two iconic elements of Brazilian culture: carnival and samba.
“Carnival Fever” is an engaging celebration, blending the beauty, joy, and chaos of Brazil’s festive days with a modern, ironic twist. It merges nostalgia with contemporary house vibes, creating a space where the lively spirit of carnival meets the sophistication of house music.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaBqFtw0Pkg?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




The track features a provocative classic vocal from the 60s: “I’m not going anymore, I don’t want to go.” It perfectly reflects a typical carnival sentiment, where despite wanting to skip yet another party, it’s impossible to resist the magic of carnival. After all, who can truly say no to carnival?
The energy of “Carnival Fever” is driven by striking drum and percussion elements that pay homage to the themes of carnival and samba, amplified by a rhythmic bassline that adds a sense of movement and energy throughout. To top it off, the saxophone brings a provocative touch, particularly during the build-up and drop, captivating listeners at every key moment.
Get ready to dive into the rhythms and vibes of “Carnival Fever”—a track that’s sure to light up dance floors and spread joy far beyond Brazil.
We premiere ‘Carnival Fever’ on Data Transmission, check it out here and grab it on Beatport.

Definite Grooves land on Another Rhythm with ‘Shake You Loose’
13 September 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Definite Grooves, the seasoned house duo from East Yorkshire, are back with a funky, piano-driven anthem, “Shake You Loose,” dropping on Another Rhythm. 
Andrew Eggleton and Danny Hird, who’ve been shaping the UK house scene since the ‘90s, are returning with renewed energy after taking some time off to focus on family and work. Now, they’re ready to light up dance floors again with a fresh wave of releases.
The duo made their mark early, performing at iconic venues like Ministry of Sound and earning support from house legends Danny Rampling and Pete Tong. Their first release, “Nothing Like The Sound,” was picked up by the legendary Dtension label, and their momentum kept building from there.

After a hiatus, Definite Grooves have rediscovered their passion for house music and are back in full force. Their recent release, “Love Belongs To Me,” was a hit—supported by BBC Introducing, charting on Traxsource, and leading to a comeback show at Café Mambo in their hometown.
With “Shake You Loose,” coming out on Another Rhythm, the duo proves why they’ve been such a staple in the house music scene. Up next is a collaboration with Crazy Fluke and The Men for Armada Records, showing off their musicality and versatility.
It’s clear that Definite Grooves are back in the game, and with their infectious beats, it’s like they never left. Keep an eye out for more from these house legends!

How the #RespectTheCreators Campaign is Changing the Music Scene
13 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds
A new initiative, #RespectTheCreators, which is backed by AFEM (Association For Electronic Music) and supported by key figures in the electronic music world, is launching with one clear goal: to set a fresh industry standard for giving proper credit to music featured in social media videos and content uploaded by DJs, artists, labels, and brands.
Social media—especially live event footage—plays a huge role in discovering and promoting new talent, but only when the artists behind the music are properly credited.
The campaign’s organisers believe that now is the right time for the industry to embrace a new standard of transparency and respect when crediting others’ work. They’ve outlined best practices that are already backed by major names in the industry, including DJ/Producer Mason, BAM! Popauteurs, fabric, Mobilee, Glasgow Underground, Good Company, Buma/Stemra, Data Transmission, Neighbourhood, LabelWorx, Your Army, and Aslice.
In a passionate keynote speech at IMS Ibiza, Dutch DJ and producer Frank Nitzinsky highlighted some key stats: on average, only 3% of a DJ’s set is music they’ve personally produced, and a whopping 90% of DJ content shared on Instagram doesn’t credit the music being played. These emotional, high-energy video clips are the backbone of marketing campaigns for artists, labels, promoters, and more, often reaching millions of potential fans. Yet without proper credit, it’s only the DJ or the account posting the video that benefits—not the original creator of the track.
Mason


That’s where the #RespectTheCreators campaign comes in. Its goal is to educate artists, fans, and industry pros about the importance of giving credit where it’s due across social media.
So why isn’t music being credited? The reasons range from simple apathy or ignorance to the old-school DJ mindset of keeping the best tracks a secret. But the campaign’s organisers argue that respect for other creators has always been part of electronic music culture—and it’s time that this respect extends to social media, too.
The campaign stresses that a healthy music ecosystem relies on supporting talent from the ground up and that artists have a fundamental right to be recognized for their work. DJ culture can’t be the exception—whether you’re a creator or a curator, there’s a shared responsibility here.
Whether it’s using tools on platforms like Instagram and Facebook to tag the music via stickers or simply including the artist and song title in your post’s caption, the campaign urges everyone in the industry to think about how they can respect the creators of the music they love every time they post online.
So, how can you #RespectTheCreators?
It’s easy:
• DJs: When you share a video from a gig or mix, and the music isn’t yours, tag the artists and list the track names prominently.
• Online Platforms: Ensure track lists are clearly visible below videos or audio content.
• Promoters: Make sure the music featured in your event promotions gets credited.

4am Kru Drop ‘Incognito Rhythm’ LP: It’s A Journey Through Raw, High-Energy Jungle
12 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds
London’s own jungle trailblazers, 4am Kru, are about to make waves with their debut album, ‘Incognito Rhythm’. Following their recent remix of Papa Levi’s ‘Ribena’ and an electrifying set at Reading & Leeds Festival, this album promises to showcase the raw, high-octane energy that has made them a standout act in the jungle scene.
After turning heads throughout the 2024 festival season—appearing at standout events like Outlook Origins, Boomtown, Boardmasters, Reading & Leeds, The Blind Tiger, Parklife Waterworks, Boundary, and delivering a legendary Saturday night performance at Glastonbury’s Temple Stage—4am Kru are known for their wild, 1993-1994 inspired jungle sound. Their post-lockdown shows have been especially thrilling for those who experienced their first live rave during isolation.


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1886412918" 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" /]

The duo’s journey began in indie bands whilst sharing a studio in Tottenham, where they quickly realised there was no way a traditional DJ set could contain their high-energy live act. Embracing the chaos of their physically demanding performances, they’ve pushed their limits with chipped bones and back injuries, to deep finger taping and wearing shoes designed for skipping rope. Their creativity extends to their gear too, with a Roland SPD SX drum pad that’s as hefty as a tank delivering their signature basslines. Their upcoming UK tour in October is set to amplify their immersive and disruptive sound even further.
Their latest single ‘Ribena’ breathes new life into Papa Levi’s classic ‘Militancy’, following up the powerful release of ‘Wutt’ in July. ‘Incognito Rhythm’ pulls from a wide array of influences, merging 90s jungle with elements from obscure R&B like Angela Bofill, Janet Jackson, and Prince, early hardcore bands like Hüsker Dü, offbeat Scottish folk, and even classical music. It’s a snapshot of the duo’s nocturnal world over the past two years—a time capsule of tracks that have echoed between midnight and 4am. With ‘Incognito Rhythm’, 4am Kru deliver an extraordinary debut that’s a razor-sharp, face-melting journey through their explosive live performances.
