Laenz - After Sunset [WZY004]
Announced: 13th Mar 2024
Release Date: 29th Mar 2024
Preorder: https://woozydublin.bandcamp.com/album/wzy004-after-sunset

Laenz joins EMA’s beloved Woozy family with After Sunset; an extended player of haunted dub architecture, set out within a found-sound planetarium of deconstructed rhythms and textural deviancy. Seminal UK producer and Hemlock Recordings’ founder Untold also features with his first remix in 9 years. 

Brooklyn-based Laenz reimagines the expansive structures of her native city as aural scaffolding, reconstructing indeterminate spaces via an emotional rendering process of world building. It’s music that explores the duality of shape and unform, immersed in traditions of sound design and latter-day UK broken beat techno binded by a tender hauntology that’s sublimely immersive as it is intimately personal. After Sunset is her debut for EMA’s boundary-pushing Woozy imprint, following releases for Early Reflex, Rhizome and Eastern Margins, a project detailing elongated processes of varying intensities evoking a rawness which she described as a “war on the heart”. It’s a body of music that’s a direct portal into Laenz’ singular vision, and highlights her inimitable talent amongst the milieu of bass-leaning producers of New York and beyond. 

Ballad Before The Break intros us with a garbled chug of out-of-body proportions, before Choices marches in with an uncanny half time of tense textures and After Sunset follows with trip-hop adjacent psychedelia gorged in subs. B-side opens with Echoes Until, a lurching wormhole of disorientating skank while wiL offers a gorgeous ambient epic circled by a percussion-heavy concrète of breakcore abstraction. Untold sees us out with a remix of Choices, a trip into his unrivalled sound world, buoyant by throbbing modulation and rolling kicks of pure surreality.

Contrast

This mix has ended up being a pretty sentimental one for me. Taking a very influential records from the very beginnings of me forming my musical identity in Humanfly along with numerous obsessions I’ve had over the years and tying them altogether with this Terry Riley record I found in my late father’s record collection. Contrasting very different parts of my life in a very chaotic way.

Episode 05: Porter Brook

Following an extended break from our podcast series, we are very happy to return with another deep dive, this time expertly curated by Porter Brook. Taking his name from one of Sheffield’s great rivers, his sound and ethos is rooted in the Steel City - where the juxtaposition of a decaying post-industrial landscape against the vibrancy of a city at one with its neighbouring National Park has shaped a creative and expansive sound. Further refining his work with fresh influences from his current residence in Leipzig, Porter Brook walks the line between the clubland and the esoteric, showcased by a string of great releases on the likes of GROUNDWORK, Electroménager, and Trule.

Our first encounter with Porter Brook was at one of our most infamous early Motif parties in Leeds, a night that we find ourselves still reminiscing about to this day. We have since followed his career with keen interest, most recently witnessing the launch of the ‘Second Born’ imprint of which he is co-runner and debut artist with his EP ‘Prefrontal Asymmetry’.

We’re therefore delighted to have him deliver episode five of `What Lies Beyond’ - presenting a mix of deep, tripped out percussions and rich textures. Both hypnotic and playful, this rhythmic delight is both infectious and immersive.

A full decade was needed for dubstep to heal after it went west (literally) waaay too far.
But now, the scene is as healthy as it's ever been: 

   • So many heads pushing great nights, pushing proper music
   • Some sick radio sets, some sick dubplate business
   • A big, big love for physical releases
   • Lots of well-established labels, but also fresh producers getting involved
   • And there's support for everyone

Classical Critical stands firm within this phenomenon. Like a raging bull, this mix charges into the very core of what makes dubstep while also repping the roots.
It's a celebration of the genre's foundation.

Hol tight everyone pushing the sound
Hol tight everyone supporting the sound

Taken from: Various Artists - Undercurrents Vol 1

We are proud to present ‘Undercurrents’, the third series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.

Started in 2020, the Mentoring Program run by label owner Martyn has become a worldwide online and IRL community of artists sharing resources, ideas and inspiration. This compilation showcases the wide range of fresh and amazing music that is continuously surfacing from the program, unbound by strict genre definitions.

Besides a collection of new music, Undercurrents is also a consideration of what a record label can be in 2024. Whether it’s a platform for repurposing old material, providing daylight for new sounds, artists or even entire communities, or injecting new ideas about authenticity and sustainability into the current of the underground, rather than partaking in the unwinnable race over algorithm dominance. An understated approach for maximum impact.

“Undercurrents Vol 1” features the talents of Monibi, Ila Brugal, samwho, Tōph, Alberta Balsam, Kudeki, Annebel, Anna Bahow, Danny Goliger, Ross Lowder & 16 Faces.

Like a phoenix from the ashes, or Ukrainian culture after centuries of demolition, the Kyiv based label Noneside Records is experiencing its revival and rebirth. After all, «Nothing will stop an idea whose time has come» - these words of chief Stepan Bandera make it clear to everyone: if you really burn with sincere emotion for your dream - no difficulties will stop you on the way to its realization.

Five unique tracks from Slava Los, Yevhenii Loi, Lostlojic, Luschn and aqua. - is a tech house with elements of trance with soul and passion from musicians who write music despite the war. Visualization of the whole action on the record is the picture «The hug» by the Lviv artist Oles Derega.

Slava Los makes his debut on vinyl with the beautiful track «Snus» - old school trance in the best traditions. The author now defends the borders in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so he decided to fulfill his old dream about the vinyl. Yevgeny Loi is also currently in the military, but this did not prevent him from making a new version of «Bounce» - a trance for a slow, erotic dance mood. Lostlojic, who is also the art director of the project, recalls the important message of «Send Me F16» in the uncompromising track of the same name, or rather in its VIP version created especially for the release. Known to vinyl collectors for releases on Deeptrax and Infinite Pleasure. Luschn, a Kyiv legend and mega productive musician, known to tech house maniacs for his releases on Vector.Kyiv and Noneside, invites you to have fun and crazy dances with friends to his rehearsed «Ostinato Transdanz». Newbie aqua. has a unique recognizable style, where the rhythm is constantly changing in each track, nostalgic for the favorite place of childhood - near the Hydroelectric Station in Zaporizhzhia, crazy beats and steppe motifs in the track «H.E.S.».

Un son qui claque à 140 BPM ! Remix signé La Freepouille mélange l’essence du rap marseillais de Puissance Nord avec l’énergie frénétique du breakbeat. Entre rythmiques fracassantes, samples bruts et sirènes en écho, c’est une plongée dans l’univers underground où la police rôde et les kicks cognent. Un hommage à la culture street et à la puissance des soirées où le son fait vibrer les murs.
