LP/digital out August 13th 2021 on Pessimist Productions (PESS004). Written and produced by Kristian Jabs, featuring L, Jaustin K Broadrick, Taylor E Burch & Karim Maas

Press release:

Kristian Jabs is one of Bristol’s favourite sons in the modern era of electronic music. As Pessimist, Boreal Massif and Soft Boi, Jabs has solidified his position as a leader of a generation of artists. 

In his latest carnation Jabs presents ‘Too Long’, a new 7 track album project under a new artist moniker of Stigma. Enlisting a prolific cast of collaborators in the form of L, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Napalm Death, JK Flesh), Taylor E Burch (Tropic Of Cancer, DVA Damas) and Karim Maas, Too Long clocks in at almost 40 minutes of personally reflective, intimately authentic cyber-noir-esque trip hop. 

Industrial anarcho breaks, syncopated sleaze, analogue call and response. Too long is a tale of texture, feel and tone. Unadulterated. Aiming to shine a light on the relationship between poverty and mental health issues in the UK, all proceeds from the album will be donated to Second Step Bristol, a charity dedicated to supporting people with mental health problems, gently acknowledging the possibilities for change.

YOUTH host Significant Other’s glum but resilient meditation on love and loss, a broodingly therapeutic debut album that straddles IDM and industrial Ambient signatures, reminding us of work from Bola to Jay Glass Dubs, Spectre to classic late night Rob Hall mixes.

Sharing a different side of his sound to that heard on club-cut 12”s for Spe:c, Oscilla Sound and anno over the past few years, Significant Other here dwells on feelings that “emerged from moments of extreme passion and pain", patching new and archival material to work thru a mental fug of ambient noise laments and crankily dubbed out illbient lines of thought.

The pacing is stygian and the atmosphere near still, betraying a depth of suppressed emotion that he processes over the album’s eight tracks. ‘Demonology’ evokes a hash haze contemplation with its patina of Burial-esque vapours and incidental crackle, and ‘The Future Doesn’t Exist’ taps into a classic vein of screwed NYC downbeats a la Spectre, showing off a killer instinct for crushed hip hop drums also explored on the weighty swang of his ‘Love Beat.’ 

‘Residuum’ doesn't fall into outright doom, preferring to skirt the event horizon of a black hole and keep the chin bobbing up with the vulnerable yet hopeful tones of ‘Pendant’,  also in the Loren Connors-esque midnight peal of ‘Drifting In The Third Person’ and the elegiac closing sequence ‘Perpetual Care’, with its piano and string led coda.

APPX:08 – Reinartz – Sequences (previews)

pq, real name Pete Jones, is a relative newcomer to the world of electronic dance music, but he has always been interested in making people move. His musical journey began in Nottingham as a drummer and songwriter for various metal and hardcore bands. When he moved to Leeds in 2011 he began to take interest in the darker and more experimental forms of dance music. Six years later, after having met fellow drummer and producer Spooky-J, the two moved to start a residency project in Kampala, Uganda in 2017 with the Nyege Nyege crew. Here they formed Nihiloxica, one of the most significant acts to rise out of the East African platform, a band with which he continues to write and tour to this day.

The nomadic producer has released via Nyege Nyege, Hakuna Kulala, Crammed Discs, Blip Discs, Opal Tapes and Hundred Flowers among others, with an eclectic output ranging from ambient and electroacoustic, through techno and grime, into club workouts. He also releases on Spooky Shit, a hyper-club label he runs with his best mates Spooky-J and Ekhe. This imprint proved formative in pq’s style, influencing a unique take on club music that is equal parts experimental, humourous and destructive on the dancefloor.

Proprioception is the name given to the body’s innate sense of positioning and motion. It governs our ability to move and detect our limbs in space. It enables us to dance. Centred around an energetic 160bpm core and punctuated with moments of blissful ambience, pq's ‘proprioception’ shimmers like a dream. As he elegantly shifts tempo, genre and style, pq’s signature analog and digital synthetics bounce around in polyrhythmic harmony, inspiring both bodily movement and out-of-body experience, all the while never taking itself too seriously. Can you dance if you can’t feel your limbs? pq is on a mission to find out.

Undesignated Remixes

Lucky Gonk (Forest Drive West Remix)

The latest release on Livity Sound features an extensive insight into the work of Seb Uncles, aka Eusebeia. Uncles has been releasing his work prolifically over the past six years, from self-released tapes on Rebellion Electronics through to reams of 12”s and LPs for labels like Earthtrax, Western Lore, Rupture London and re:st. While his sound has often tilted towards drum & bass and jungle, he places atmosphere and composition ahead of genre boundaries and tempo restrictions.  

Cosmos EP finds Uncles stretching out over eight varied tracks for a broader experience compared to the usual Livity EP. Glacial ambience and richly layered synthesis guides the record overall, at times leaving drums behind altogether, but even at its mellowest you can sense the overbearing bias towards soundsystem music. The melancholic electronica of ‘Becoming’ gets underpinned by dread bass, and ‘Solace’ places a haunting steppas-esque refrain in the midst of heavily dubbed downtempo. When he does turn to full-tilt drumfunk edits on the likes of ‘Hopes & Dreams’ and ‘Love + Light’, he approaches them with subtlety and finesse, matching rhythmic flair with melodic progressions which lend themselves to introspective listening as much as full dancefloor immersion.

1. PEDER MANNERFELT - THE LETTER
2. LUCKER - DEAF ASSEMBLY
3. MARTSMAN - PAPER CUT
4. GALTIER - ZMOKE FRONDS
5. KWARP - COCO

PEDER MANNERFELT, also known for his work with Swedish producer duo Aasthma, is a maverick producer of completely unconventional and original music, from dance music to experimental music, and also runs his own label, PMP. He has also produced music for Bjork and Fever Ray outside of his own productions. We look forward to seeing how you receive his letter, in what situations, and how you read and interpret it. LUCKER's participation on Nina Kraviz's trip recordings V.A. album in 2020 was followed the next year by the release of his mini-album "Sapiens" on the German label Molten Moods. This time around, he mixes his trademark hybrid-sound (Techno, House, IDM, Bass...) with unique elements and obvious melodies to create a new original worldview. MARTSMAN is the founder of the enigmatic German label Weevil Neighbourhood, and his solo works are truly timeless underground DnB. His special sound effects have made a big impact in unparalleled post dance music, such as "Lenses Dances LP" by the duo Bokeh with Katsunori Sawa. His signature style is sure to work well with the listener's senses on this release. GALTIER is a Bristol DJ/Producer and label founder of Nostro Hood System, a thematic label focused on the xenology. The fresh atmosphere characteristic of his music affects the listener's dynamic and creates the illusion of time travel. This song “Zmoke Fronds” is another dance track that is triggered by his system. KWARP, appearing for the first time on 10 Label's 10th release, has plunged a new song, "Coco," into this compilation. "Coco" intersects orthodox and experimental sounds based on the groove of dance music, leading the listener into a different space, dangerous and indulgently.
