BADCOMPPANY DEBUT WITH NEW LINK EP

OUT NOW AS PART OF DIRTYBIRD’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR

Brazilian duo BadComppany are making their label debut with their two-track LINK EP out now as part of the Dirtybird’s 20th anniversary. 

A dynamic twofer, LINK is a spirited statement piece that introduces BadComppany’s joint sound to the flock. ‘Girls In Green’ unrolls with bouncy tech-forward arpeggiations while ‘That Good’ instantly raises alarm bells with its cheeky vocal chops and playful patterns. The resulting 8 minutes are an intriguing duality of off-kilter excitement and a familiar warmth befitting the Dirtybird catalog. 

Dirtybird’s bodacious basslines and hypnotic rhythms have long drawn rising producers from Brazil, creating a natural home for the country’s most forward-thinking talent. After years of championing acts like Bruno Furlan, Cour T., and DJ Glen, the label curated their Taste Of Brazil compilation last year to further spotlight the bridging sound of Brazilian house and techno. Dirtybird will continue to broaden its footprint in Brazil later this year with an upcoming tour throughout the region.

LINK EP Tracklist
1. Girls In Green
2. That Good

BadComppany is the Brazilian duo of hip-hop veteran DJ Zeu and young producer Raphael Cordoso. They launched the project in 2024 with their debut single ‘Too Mush Baby’ via Cour T.’s Colapso. Continuing to garner attention with their innovative blend of traditional hip-hop and modern electronic music, LINK marks BadComppany’s debut on Dirtybird.

OUT NOW ON PURIFIED RECORDS

With an impressive catalogue of forward-thinking productions to his name, Dutch artist Huminal joins forces with fellow countryman Mitch de Klein for the captivating ‘Mirage’ EP, marking Mitch’s debut on Purified Records. After a summer filled with standout performances across festivals and shows, the duo channel their creative momentum into this release.

Opening with the collaborative title track, ‘Mirage’, they weave a deep yet playful journey built around groovy synth motifs and textured sound design. Intricate rhythmic layers push the arrangement forward, while an effortlessly laidback flow keeps the energy fluid and inviting. Evoking moments of euphoria and introspection in equal measure, the track highlights both artists’ shared ability to craft emotive soundscapes that resonate across dancefloors and beyond. On the flip side, Mitch steps into the spotlight with his solo cut ‘Night Owl’ - an atmospheric excursion guided by expansive break moments and soaring synths. With its evolving intensity and otherworldly character, the track delivers a powerful late-night voyage destined to linger long after the final note fades.

Renowned for his colourful, melody-driven sound, Huminal (aka Jelle Jansen) has carved out a unique space within the electronic music landscape. Blending organic textures with elegant rhythms, his productions enchant listeners with their ability to transport them to another world. Garnering widespread support from global tastemakers including Eelke Kleijn, Lane 8 and Nora En Pure, as well as an ever-growing international fanbase, Jelle continues to push his sonic boundaries. Bringing his own flair to the project, Mitch de Klein makes a striking entrance to the label with the ‘Mirage’ EP. Known for his versatile take on melodic house and techno, his work has earned support from global heavyweights including Joris Voorn and RÜFÜS DU SOL to name just a few.

LA’DELL ROLLS OUT NEW EP ‘MWANZO’ ON CAFÉ DE ANATOLIA REC!

Café de Anatolia Rec. rolls out a superb new EP from La'Dell that is rich in Afro house vibes to keep summer alive.

La'Dell is the Brooklyn-born artist bringing a heady fusion of organic, melodic and ethno house. His cultured sounds often climb high in Beatport charts and he now plays all over the world.

‘MaBeToNi’ is a serenely deep and dubby cut with twinkling piano keys ringing out into the night, then ‘Mwanzo rides a stuttering broken beat. A gorgeous vocal soars up top next to the subtle percussion and smoky spoken words help cast a spell. ‘Rapport’ then ups the energy with a nimble groove that leads into a cosmic late night with more authentic Afro vocals and rolling drums and percussion.
