HxdB and Patrik Cure brought their love of club music to PPLINDHAUZ, and it shows. For their second EP on Defrostatica, the Vancouver bass duo slowed the tempo which only gave their kicks more room to rattle. And why shouldn't they? True DJs and dancers can handle all BPMs. So Greazus gave them what they need with these four tracks allowing the drum essentials to take over the mind and release a bubbling cocktail of happy hormones. PPLINDHAUZ is a celebration of North American dance genres, as seen in the Bootee Freaka track that they did with Sinistarr. It's for the people raving in the moment, mad crowd scenes with their hands in the air and dancers on speakers. Just like photographer Mark McNulty captured it in his clubland series.

Detroit producer Sheefy McFly delivers his first release outside the US on Amsterdam's Cape St. Francis label. The release features vocals from DJ MoBetta, Bevlove, Lola Damone, Tiptonaires and Etherpussy. Baddies Only is a love letter to the women of Detroit's underground. Thank you to every artist who brought their energy, their talent, and their story to this project. Bevlove - "You're Mine" Bev is without a doubt one of Detroit's best singers and performers. This track is a remix of one of her originals, and it's built up a real underground buzz over the years, from the parties in the city to online. If you know, you know. Tiptonaires - "Cute2Nite" Tiptonaires is a fierce, one-of-one creative: DJ, producer, and designer all in one. The energy she brings to the stage is something else entirely. We produced this one together, and it's become one of my favorite records to pull out during a set. Lola Damone - "Pretty World" Lola is a bonafide Detroit legend. Her stamp on this city goes back to the hood classic "50 N***** Deep," a record that still knocks to this day. "Pretty World" came from a completely different space: atmospheric, ethereal, and born out of pure fun in the studio. It's an honor to have her on this project. DJ Mobetta - "Young N Turnt" Mobetta is a DJ, producer, and artist who is fully in her bag right now. She's bringing a unique blend of Detroit Rap and Ghettotech that takes her sets to another level entirely. On "Young N Turnt," her vocals captured exactly what it looks like when the baddies own the dance floor. Had so much fun producing this one. Etherpussy - "Where the $ At?" This one came together after a party at my art studio with the Detroit duo Etherpussy. The vocals were recorded straight to my phone, and that's exactly what gives the track its edge: that raw, after-hours grit that you can't manufacture. Sometimes the best sessions are the unplanned ones. Baddies Only is a love letter to the women of Detroit's underground. Thank you to every artist who brought their energy, their talent, and their story to this project. Aside from producing, Sheefy runs the Ghettotechtopia party series in Detroit, has previously worked with Amp Fiddler for a release on Moodymann's Mahogani Records and has remixed and released for AUX88. As a visual artist, he creates colourful murals all over Detroit, inspired by the Motor City's musical history like the "Detroit Never Left" piece featured on the sleeve. credits
