Tokyo-based Stupid Kozo recently shared ‘Thirty Three’ to celebrate his 33rd birthday. ‘Not 2 Shabby’, a collab with Neana, channels digi dub and lover’s rock while another treat on the self-released EP is Baltimore Club beat ‘Luv Shy’.

Congrats to Suchi who’s just launched her new label Ikke Sant with a three-track EP of her own productions. Title track ‘Sub Cut’ is a deep tech house roller that has the Oslo native experimenting with didgeridoo patterns over a circular bassline.

Kanse released ‘Get Down’ EP with Parisian label Liquid Love Records on October 27. A co-founder of Tokyo collective Abducted Groove, Kanse flexes ghetto tech and squelching electro on ‘Y’all Know Me’ our favourite track from the EP that features a classic hip hop sample.

Taiwan’s Molly Lin is touring Europe right now but that didn’t stop her from releasing ‘999’, a new single from her imprint Loving Sun Records. Peaky Beats is on remix duties with a high energy breaks rework.
