JuJu Muzik presents its first Various Artist EP, ‘Friendly Interactions’ Vol.1 showcasing four killer tracks of deeply underground House, Techno & Electro. Referencing the classic sounds of the Motor City and Chicago, but with four geographically-diverse artists each bringing their unique perspective, ‘Friendly Interactions’ Vol.1 builds bridges across the seas, bringing together some of the finest talent House and Techno has to offer, for an EP that reaches deep into the heart & soul of The Machine.

Starting with the hugely influential, Adham Zahran (AKA Relic & Rarity), who is based in Alexandria, Egypt. Adham has been releasing music since 2010 and has a string of releases under his belt on labels including Feedasoul, Dobro and Galaktika. Mainly a producer and Live performer who likes to incorporate warm Jazzy chords, ethereal pads and loose House beats,”Concrete Advice” combines all these elements perfectly, with the added bonus of a phat, squelching and ever-evolving Acid line weaving in and out throughout.

Wave Effect, the London-based DJ and producer Carl Grant, has made significant contributions as one half of renowned producers L.A. Synthesis, solidifying his reputation as a standout artist from the UK. Born in Birmingham, Wave Effect has been crafting exceptional House and Techno compositions since the early 1990s with his music flawlessly blending UK ingenuity with the raw energy of Detroit, establishing him as a trailblazer for British artists on a global scale. His solo releases have been limited but bear the unmistakable imprint of a sound that resonates deeply with the essence of Detroit.

And to France where the outstanding Dijon-born and raised, Trecci, a DJ, electronic music producer and Naeba Records label manager delivers the emotive deep house groove “Face Of The Dragon”. Opening with no-nonsense driving 90’s organ stabs combined with emotive strings, it’s classic Deep House groove takes control underpinned with grinding bass, and fluctuating synth lines. A consistent producer with an impressive array of quality releases on labels including Soiree Records, N.C.M and UKR (Special Series), Trecci continues to impress.

Lastly we visit South Holland (Lincs) where Jeran Portis takes us on a deep late-night journey with a track entitled ‘Growth’. Jeran has been building for the last ten years, starting out as Dangerous Liaisons with his own label, Machine Mind Records in 2015. He released Julian G’s first ever digital release, ‘Picture This’ / ‘Attention Now’ in 2015 and together Jeran and Julian collaborated on Horizons Dub, featured on the ‘Sound and Vibrations’ LP. Jeran is also a member of Motech Records (Detroit) since 2017, with featured tracks on the ‘Consortium’ compilation series and his own four track EP called ‘Resilient’, plus an exclusive track on Fabric’s mix compilation series, selected by TSHA in 2022.
