DAT112 - DJ Trace, We welcome Trace back to DJ, this time with three remixes of his all-time classic "Lost Entity" and an alternate mix of "Jazz Primitives". The "Lost Entity" remixes include the OG remix put out on Lucy Spin back in 1995, plus fresh remixes by Harmony and Dev/Null. "Jazz Primitives alt mix" is a different take of the tune from 1995, discovered on DAT alongside the original: a nice piece of lost jungle history for the heads.

Dream Select is Pizza Hotline’s follow-up to the cult hit Level Select, blending jungle, ambient pads, and PS1-era video game nostalgia. The album continues the UK based producer's journey into the fusion of Y2K video game aesthetics with modern breakbeat music. As the name suggests, DREAM SELECT is a collection of dreamy, hypnotic, and emotionally-charged tracks — built to feel like they’re from a forgotten 2000s video game that never existed. It draws heavily on the sound and spirit of the PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, and N64 eras and games such as Wipeout and Ape Escape. The sound relies on obscure and dated 90s sample CDs, as well as hunting through ROMplers and digital synths of the era to find crystalline, artificial, and precise sounds that have come to define Pizza hotline's sound.



_____________________________________________________________



It’s been a hell of a ride since releasing Level Select back in 2022. Thanks to all the fans and pizza lovers who’ve supported me and kept me in the kitchen/studio making pizzas…I mean MUSIC!



Jokes aside, I’ve been working incredibly hard on DREAM SELECT for about a year spinning half cooked versions of tracks in live sets, seeing how people react and taking them back to the kitchen to tweak them. So, for the eagle eared among you, you may have heard little slices here and there in my sets. I’m pleased to say that I’ve landed on an album that I’m proud of, keen to share, and ain't too cheesy either.

Reflection Garden is the newest installation in Accelio's atmospheric D'n'B library. This EP includes "The Garden", a lush atmospheric roller, "Sanctuary", a jazz-influenced track filled with classy grand piano and Rhodes sounds, and "Lagswitch", a heavier jungle inspired track.



Enjoy the vibes ;)

CRITICAL RECEPTION



"Thanks for sending over the album, sounding nice!

So reminiscent of those sounds from the mid 90s. I look forward to any future pieces.." - LTJ BUKEM



"Pizza Hotline’s 2022 album ‘Level Select’ is a joy to explore. Built from the kind of jungle/drum & bass beats that might once have earned the (now generally derided) “intelligent” tag, but are much better served by adjectives such as ambient or atmospheric, it’s full of bright melodies and easy-rolling breaks." - DJ Mag (Ben Hindle)



"Amazing job, the vibes from the music to the artwork was just *chefs kiss*...Liquidy drum and bass paired with a late 90s/early 00s video game aura… perfect breaks for late-night drives." - Pad Chennington



"What the f**k this is unREAL! I love Liquid DnB and this is classsssss!" - DJ Mag (Chris Blackhall)



"There aren't too many artists that sound this authentic...it just sounds like he knows this music like the back of his hand...it's a complete banger from start to finish" - Future Sounds FM (My Pet Flamingo)



"We've been lucky enough to have the Level Select album for a while now in the SEGA Powered office, and it's a cracking one to put on for those late-night deadline evenings!" - SEGA Powered Magazine



Pizza Hotline’s Level Select is one of my records of the year. It came out right at the start of 2022, and crystallises a cultural moment...Level Select is the most successful album by a single artist at capturing this kind of DJ/compilation-style flow and sense of journey. It is deep and heady, while melodic and fun at the same time. - Thom Hosken (Future Sounds FM)
