Dan Shake - Paper

Dan Shake returns with house track Paper, as part of his latest three-part release. “I made these tracks in April 2020, immediately after the sudden cutoff of nightlife. My last weekend of gigs was incredible and left me with a big room, high energy mentality. I’d been listening to and playing out a lot of ghetto house and Dance Mania style records which no doubt pushed these tracks in that direction. Faster, harder and heavier than the majority of the music, ‘Paper’ and ‘Bounce’ gave me a hit of a sound I was craving and had just been immersed in. Directly inspired by an urge to be back on a dance floor, the thought of playing them out feels slightly surreal, but something that gives me tingles thinking about too.” Paper is out now on SoundCloud.

J Wax - Bside Incoming: J Wax

The Bside series give artists a chance to showcase their expansive collections. This week, J Wax shares his tracks from The Happy Mondays, The Clash and The Beatles, as well as some bits that influence his own production.
