Welcome to Mixmag’s round-up of upcoming music releases that you should take note of

I. JORDAN & Kiimi share new collaboration, 'Lose My Mind'

I. JORDAN and Kiimi have joined forces on an anthemic cut of vocal house, ‘Lose My Mind’.

The collaboration came about after they connected at the debut edition of Kiimi’s Club Hunni Academy in April, a workshop set to support aspiring artists in the FLINTA community.

It’s out now via HE.SHE.THEY, and marks the title-track of a forthcoming two-track EP from Kiimi.

“We each have a word that guides the way we make music. ‘Euphoria’ is what guides Jordan’s production, and creating a feeling of empowerment is what informs Kiimi’s. Written with the sun-kissed shores of Ibiza in mind, ‘Lose My Mind’ feels like the perfect combination of those two intentions,” they shared alongside the release.

Nikki Nair explores ‘The Sick Dimension’ on dh2 debut 

Nikki Nair is set to make his dh2 bow with a new EP titled ‘The Sick Dimension’ on August 7. 

“This record was me using all of the weird gear that I have, and getting back into digging for old house music,” explains NIkki Nair. “In my mind, I’m making normal house music, but when I get feedback, I guess it does not sound like normal house music to most people.”

The announcement of the four-track outing has been accompanied by the release of lead single ‘Default Mode’, which melds together unstable and off-kilter textures, including wet bass and intricate percussion.

Two Shell announce new album 'Infinite Now' 

Anonymous production duo Two Shell have been unusually forthright in sharing details of their upcoming album, 'Infinite Now', which is set to land via Young on October 18. 

The 10-track project is said to be inspired by "living in the moment", continuing the themes of "positive escapism" heard in their previously-released single, 'Nightmare', which landed back in January. 

To tease the project, Two Shell have shared new single, 'Thing About You', a two-step Ibiza-inspired track that was first heard during the pair's set at Dekmantel last year. Listen to it below.

Mount Kimbie to step up for new fabric Presents compilation

UK electronic duo Mount Kimbie, AKA Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, have shared details of their forthcoming edition of the mix/compilation series fabric Presents, which will land via the London nightclub's in-house label, fabric Records, on July 31. 

Alongside tracks from the likes of Robert Hood, Mella Dee, The Vision, Regal86, G Flame and T. Jacques, Mount Kimbie have also shared two new tracks for the compilation 'Jomox' and 'Monroe', with the latter available to listen to now via all streaming services. 

“The mix is based around the last two years of getting deeper into the clubbier side of Mount Kimbie," says Kai Campos. "I wanted to avoid over-thinking it or approaching it in a more conceptual or mix tape fashion and represent what I've actually been playing in clubs." 

"A lot of these I have rinsed in the last couple of years so it is a good time to celebrate the music and stop playing them for a while. I thought the more cerebral side has been covered in other mixes in the past and wanted to present something more straight ahead with a few nods to Mount Kimbie's past as well”.
