Post Office Vol 6 Part 2

French minimal insitution Logistic Records revives its long-running Post Office series 25 years after the first volume, siding up to the house doorsill with the second parter in the Post Office 6 comp series. The project serves as meeting point between scene elders and younger producers: Barbara Goes opens with ‘Carta Minha’, followed by a tight collaboration between Chez Damier, Ben Vedren and H2H on ‘Italium’, then a wiry turn from Welsh minimal specialist Tom Ellis, before master house percussionista Dave Aju brings ‘Paletas’ into view. The series sprang from Logistic’s early mission to document left-of-centre club music on compilations.

New Soulstatejazz EP “Orbits” out now on Noire & Blanche!

Orbiting through the universe, Soulstatejazz delivers their first EP on Noire & Blanche : Orbits, a 5-track ambient house journey brushed with jazzy strokes. With planets like Mercury, the band crafts an atmospheric and immersive soundscape. Blending jazz improvisation with electronic textures and deep grooves, the group maintains a fluid, genre-blurring identity. Regular appearances at Freerotation and Headroom Festival showcase their ever-evolving live energy and commitment to spontaneous, boundary-pushing sound.

“Tom Ellis is back on Telegraph with a very strong new EP. A four tracks project that showcases the huge talent of this special UK House producer. All tracks are dancefloor killers, always funky and groovy; they are full of creativity evolving into different atmospheres. Tom’s music definitely is very human and always musical.”
