Dirty Channels' debut on the Razor-N-Tape catalog
The Italian duo Dirty Channels, originally from Milan, has made their long-awaited debut on the prestigious New York platform Razor-N-Tape official. During this first weekend of July 2026, the group has presented their new project titled 'Jungle Echoes EP'. This work, available in both 12-inch vinyl format and on digital platforms, represents a technical evolution in their club sound, fusing their house roots with global influences designed strictly for the dance floor.
Sonic anatomy: From euphoria to South African Kwaito
The record release consists of four tracks that demonstrate the producers' versatility in the studio. Side A kicks off with 'Guilty' and its respective 'Guilty (Dub)' version, two tracks that radiate euphoric energy, structured with an organic groove ideal for the European festival season. On the other hand, side B proposes a rhythmic turn with 'Semliki', a hypnotic and fast-tempo track that incorporates marked percussive elements of South African Kwaito.

The closing of the record is handled by the title track, 'Jungle Echoes', a composition with deep bass and melancholic atmospheres that evokes the sounds of proto-house characteristic of Chicago and New York in the nineties. This amalgam of synthesis and samples consolidates the duo's status in the contemporary electronic scene.
Jungle Echoes EP is the duo's most solid production statement to date, uniting influences from diverse international vibes in an eminently danceable format.

Consolidation in the international house elite
The arrival of Dirty Channels on Razor-N-Tape is not an isolated move. This milestone follows a period of high studio activity for the Italians, who have recently signed productions on labels of the stature of Athens Of The North, Rush Hour and have been key pieces in the events of the renowned brand Glitterbox. The choice of Razor-N-Tape, a label globally respected for its edit culture and its deep knowledge of disco music, provides the perfect ecosystem for the distribution of this material.
With 'Jungle Echoes', Dirty Channels not only reaffirms their technical prowess, but also enriches the current house music landscape with club tools that are as functional as they are emotionally resonant. The synergy between the Milanese producers and the Brooklyn label underscores the growing trend of transatlantic collaborations that continue to nourish the underground circuit globally.
