Broken District is the new label launched by the creative minds of Jus Jam, Momla and Antwan. The project is born with the idea of exploring alternative music styles that blend the influences of the label’s creators, including Jazz, House-Music, Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, and experimental music.In order to give a global vision over the label’s territory, Broken District is launching with a series of VA EPs.Momla is kicking-off the label’s first release with an instrumental Funk ballad. He is using Soul samples, synths and an electronic piano to create a smooth vibe, led by a catchy bassline.Up next, Hip-Hop producers Yepes & Plae Casi are stepping out of their favourite field to incorporate House-Music rhythmic elements over an old-school R&B flavour.Berlin-based producer Marian Tone is closing the first side with a laidback, jazzy Hip-Hop instrumental.The other side opens with the Copenhagen-based talent Jeppe Wolmer. “Normal Position” is a modern take on Disco & Boogie, with a rhythmic bassline and reverbing Rhodes, ending with acid infused synths.Concluding this first release, label’s co-founder Jus Jam gives us another glimpse of his musical talent through a dreamy journey that blends House-Music, Hip-Hop and Jazz together.Welcome to the Broken District.

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.

For our first-ever LP we proudly present INTRO’s “Odyssey Of Shifting Emotions”. A collection of tracks recorded in the 90’s by the Madrid-based legends Francisco & Nacho Sotomayor. Before moving into various musical realms, the pair had been quietly honing their craft for years. Meticulously programming near-perfect drum loops and placing them onto subtle layers of otherworldly synthesis. The music inspires intro-mental journeys yet remains tinged with energy and emotion. These are the sorts of contrast that can be expected on this LP. While clearly sharing certain themes, each track brings its own ideology to the table, allowing this record to humbly fit in your bag on an array of occasions.

Exploring hybrid music styles and outernational, borderless musical influences, DJ soFa’s Elsewhere compilation series continues with a sixth instalment, and the second to appear on Kalahari Oyster Cult.Always ahead of the tide, the Kalahari Oyster is a fine specimen when it comes to the discipline of next-level sound-snooping. Meticulously curated by Belgian sonic globetrotter soFa, Elsewhere XX showcases a dozen outstanding tunes, each dwelling in their own personal space between the imaginary worlds of post-kraut, DIY synth-punk and odd-pop ballads.Melting these genres with contemporary club music is the mission here. Doused in a thick fog of arcane machine talk, tribal rhythms and cosmic synths, Elsewhere XX is an invitation to escape the hall of LED-backlit mirrors that we’ve so mistakenly come to call our “reality”.Gathering artists from all corners of the globe – including Radio Hito, Anatolian Weapons, Eylul Deniz, Dame Area and Electronic Body Girl – soFa’s curation lays the groundwork for a unique and thoroughly immersive listening and dancing experience. Through a carefully selected suite of like-minded, yet diverse joints, we run the gamut from distorted funk (“Anita”, “Confiture") and cross-pollinated electroid blueprints (“Walk Away”, “An Abhainn Mhor") to oddball synthpop (“Credo” & Twin Peaks cover "She Can't Die"), reverb-soaked audio safaris (“Fifty Fifty (Anatolian Weapons Dub)") and static-filled postpunk (“Umani”).soFa's Elsewhere series started in 2017 and this is the sixth compilation to date. Shifting focus with every new instalment, the compilations have previously appeared on labels likes Music For Dreams, Emotional Response and Crevette Records.

Crafted in the middle of pandemic times and world chaos.Gregorio Soave and 4NiQ bring an interesting split compilation of tracks that translate into isolation, meditation and the hope for social awakening.From complex patterns of Soave’s modular setup to the emotional and rumbling mind of 4NiQ straight raw techno and minimalistic sounds. Hope this one can have a special place in your collection.
