Shuffling out of North and South London in fatigues and military grade gas masks, TELEFAX PRODUCTIONS are the mysterious musical masterminds behind one of 2024’s hottest club cuts – revivalist hip-house jam ‘Break This House Down’.
Formed by two vastly experienced producers and sci-fi fanatics whose working partnership began way back in the late 1980s, TELEFAX PRODUCTIONS was born to provide a platform for established and unknown artists, using a moniker inspired by one of Andy Warhol’s sci-fi movies. Each of their releases pushes a featured artist to the fore, with our shadowy heroes providing a musical canvas for their vocal and lyrical talents.
TELEFAX PRODUCTIONS’ first missive, arriving via Luke Solomon’s Classic Music Company imprint, stars previously unheard mic man DeeVoeNay – a young rapper hailing from Buffalo, NY, who they first encountered while out crate digging in South London last year. Naturally, DeeVoeNay’s distinctive flow and party-starting raps come to the fore on ‘Break This House Down’ – an infectious, floor-friendly hip-house jam that recalls the bustling, breakbeat-driven rush of the style’s late ‘80s, early ‘90s heyday.
On top of the sonics, every aspect of ‘Break This House Down’ has been carefully curated, with the well-established, multi-faceted artist Jimmy Cauty responsible for the bold and highly stylised artwork.
