  • NEW RELEASE ON BERLIN’S ROYAL ATHLETE LABEL

    NEW RELEASE ON BERLIN’S ROYAL ATHLETE LABEL

    We are delighted to feature on a new EP from Berlin-based label Royal Athlete.


    Back in 2017, Dither Down released our album Let The Rhythm In. An extra song recorded during those sessions, back in 2015, never saw the light of day except in our live set.


    It’s been a long time coming (Covid and pressing plant double hit), but thanks to the lovely folks at Royal Athlete in Berlin, the song ‘Hustle Never Ends’ has finally made it onto wax.


    We’re thrilled to sit alongside some fellow practitioners of modern boogie on this EP and we reckon every track is a winner.


    Limited run on this, so get on it!
  • Galaxians release new single ‘Tech Noir’ with two remixes

    Galaxians release new single ‘Tech Noir’ with two remixes

    We’re delighted to announce our new single ‘Tech Noir’, complete with remixes by Jerge and Vanity Project.

    Recorded as part of the Chemical Reaction sessions, ‘Tech Noir’ has a polyrhythmic, bass-driven house vibe. Combined with Emma’s powerhouse vocals, 4 to the floor drums and thick synth lines, it’s a sure-fire dancefloor banger.

    The remixers

    Jerge is a multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Paris and is associated with Bodybeat, You Man and Christine and the Queens.

    Vanity Project is a producer who also runs the Claptrap Records label based in London.

    This digital-only release features artwork from Rosie Rackham.

    You can also get the full single and remixes on Bandcamp.
