The album began with the title track, first played during Goldie's residency at XOYO before eventually making its way to the label, and it was from that moment that the idea of a full-length record started to take shape. Around the same time HLZ moved back to Italy, embracing a slower pace of life that gave him the space and focus to bring the project together. Rather than following a fixed concept, 'All My Life' grew naturally in the studio. HLZ approached the process with what he calls a sense of humble confidence, trusting his instincts while staying grounded in the culture that shaped him. The aim was simple: to make music that could last beyond the short cycles that often define modern releases. Across the album, HLZ moves between soulful depth with a classic Metalheadz twang, into moments that push beyond his usual territory. From the title track's unmistakable Headz spirit to more exploratory pieces like 'Roadblock' and the introspective 'Solitary', 'All My Life' captures an artist fully settled in his voice. More than anything, the album reflects HLZ's deep connection to the music and the sound that has influenced him from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003eA1. \"Matter Of Time\"\u003cbr\u003eA2. \"Origins\"\u003cbr\u003eA3. \"Bad Boy Sound\"\u003cbr\u003eB1. \"The Genie (ft.

It became clear that if I was going to grow in the craft, I needed to become my own lighthouse. So I made the commitment to take on the Producer role. There were a lot of sleepless nights. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWriting Long Wave Home, though no less daunting, became a refuge for me—a place to explore interpersonal connections and the rise and fall of emotions that come with relationships. Writing an album can be very agitating, but it’s a discomfort I am comfortable with. What a gift it is to spend my time examining my inner world, my relationships, and from it make music. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMy life took an unexpected turn in 2025. Many people exited my life... like a bus pulling into the station. Some of these relationships were of great importance, so I had much to wrestle with in these verses. Disconnect, or the illusion thereof, was also fodder for songs—amid the chaos and confusion we are creating in this world, I feel a responsibility to record what I see transpiring among us: what is being done... by whom and to whom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe song titled ‘Caravan’ articulates the risks of investing in or relying upon intimate relationships. The title track, ‘Long Wave Home’, addresses a certain estrangement that I believe we are all feeling, as technologies isolate each of us and make connections feel ever more distant. ‘Playground’ is a protest song advocating for the children of Gaza.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRecording this album was a road trip and a forage—me and a hard drive in a camper van, pulling into studios up and down England, gathering material. I enlisted engineers Leo Abrahams (at The Shed in London); Jim and Rob Homes (at Empire Sound on the Isle of Wight); Jim Barr (at J\u0026amp;J Studio in Bristol); and Tim Thomas (at Blueprint in Manchester). I brought in Jesse D Vernon to arrange brass and tuned percussion. I brought in Sebastian Rochford on drums, Jon Thorne on bass, and Sam Amidon to play a cast of stringed instruments. Over three weeks, I roved my way through these sessions, gathering performances. I slept under viaducts and ancient oak trees, and I woke to dewy, glistening pastures. I found the best cafés, and I swam in the sea. The sessions felt like discoveries—surprise after surprise—as the musicians and engineers coloured the tunes, each in their own way.

The album’s first single, ‘Strike a Pose’ featuring the vocals of Camille Munn offers an early glimpse into the project. To celebrate the release, he will go on a run of UK dates from March to May, culminating at London’s Jazz Cafe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed after the road where he grew up, ‘POWERSCROFT’ marks a defining new chapter for an artist who has spent the past decade shaping the sound of UK dance music. Drawing from jungle, broken beat, grime, garage, soul and dub, the album channels the energy of the dancefloor while remaining deeply rooted in memory, instinct and identity. It captures what it feels like to be inside IZCO’s world, where thoughts, memories and influences collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailing from East London, IZCO is a producer and DJ spearheading a new generation that is bringing soul back to the dancefloor. Shaped by the rich musical heritage of his hometown, he has developed a sound that feels familiar yet forward-looking, diverse yet distinctly his own. That sound has taken him across the globe, from New York to Tokyo, alongside standout sets at We Out Here, Outlook and Glastonbury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIZCO began his journey making grime beats for local rappers including Capo Lee, Novelist and Reek0, before becoming a key figure in the UK’s evolving garage and dance music landscape. In 2018, he launched his long-running Rinse FM show and released his debut EP Tek 5, earning early underground acclaim. His production credits include PinkPantheress’ breakout track ‘Passion’, created alongside Jkarri, as well as collaborations and remixes for artists such as Katy B and Greentea Peng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond his solo work, IZCO is a label head, promoter and co-founder of the Brighter Days Family, a collective built on community, craft and cooperation. With ‘POWERSCROFT’, he steps fully into the spotlight, presenting his most personal and fully realised body of work to date. “This album is about channeling my true musical personality and character,” he says. “I’m marking a new chapter by paying tribute to my foundations.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRIYL: Brighter Days Family, Nia Archives, Kaytranada, Interplanetary Criminal, Bakey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brownswood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46593331363996,"sku":"BWOOD446LP","price":25.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/4_93fd742a-71a6-4223-8c7d-f2b1c3228db3.webp?v=1774627605"},{"product_id":"degheugi-endless-smile-2-cd","title":"Degheugi - Endless Smile 2 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: ENDLP12CD\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 3516628511721\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 01 May 2026\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003eA1.

A 16-track project conceived as a tribute to his landmark 2015 album Endless Smile, which featured his iconic tracks “Betty” and “Qu’attendez-vous de moi”. Born from a desire to return to the essentials, Endless Smile 2 focuses on instrumental compositions enriched with samples and organic textures inspired by the 70s. The album develops a warm and sun-soaked atmosphere, crossed by the melancholic touch that defines Degiheugi’s musical universe. Recorded between 2023 and 2025 in his studio Endless Smile Records and mixed by his longtime collaborator Mr. Gib, the album opens with the trip-hop anthem “The Last Opening”. Far from being a simple introduction, it acts as a true gateway into Degiheugi’s new sonic journey. Keyboards set the tone, the horn section led by N’Zeng invites listeners into the groove, while guitars and organic keyboards immerse us fully into his musical world. The scene is set: he’s back. Among the standout tracks, “Ain’t Goin Down” delivers a reggae-influenced groove driven by a message of hope, while “Vem O Mar” (feat. Hugo Kant) explores funk and tropical soundscapes. “Ipanemax”, a nod to the classic “The Girl From Ipanema”, and “Ouh Baby” extend this Brazilian atmosphere, while “Savoir Danser” leans toward oriental textures and “Juanita Bonita” ventures into a bold fusion of cumbia and dub. The album also reveals Degiheugi’s signature melancholic side. An addictive loop settles deep into the listener’s mind as “Sympathique et sympa” balances nostalgia with urban groove. The haunting strings of “Naked” and the soul ballad “She Worries” respectively reflect on mortality and the fragility of romantic relationships. Guest artist Miscellaneous addresses gender-based violence on “Love Is Blind”, telling the story of a woman trapped in a toxic relationship. Endless Smile 2 closes with “Enivrez-vous”, an outro inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s poem, bringing the album to a contemplative conclusion. With this release, Degiheugi masterfully completes a musical journey that began ten years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46593338310812,"sku":"ENDLP12CD","price":17.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/3_62777ff4-6d8b-4af1-9dc7-617d6c4142f7.jpg?v=1774628043"},{"product_id":"degheugi-endless-smile-2-2lp","title":"Degheugi - Endless Smile 2 [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: ENDLP12\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 3516628511615\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 01 May 2026\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003eA1.
