Five years since his last solo outing, Pev makes a very welcome return on his own label for Livity Sound's 60th release.

Having focused on expanding the innovative scope of Livity through a prolific release schedule, frequent label nights and the 10th anniversary Molten Mirrors compilation, on the 'Pulse E.P.', Pev delivers on his reputation for inventive, sharply-focused club music with four lean, focused club tracks across the tempo range.

From the crooked formation and pointillist bleeps of ‘Pulse I’ through the light-footed percussion and airy melodies of ‘Pulse II’ to ‘Pulse III’s strafing techno synths and ‘Pulse IV’s surefooted, bass-loaded house jack, it’s an EP of variation and consistency in equal measure. From the infectious, alien melodic lines to the elegant angles of the drums, not to mention the weighty subs, it’s all strikingly fresh and unmistakably Pev.

Following up on his much acclaimed debut album ‘Opal’ released in 2022, Batu heads into a new year introducing A Long Strange Dream : a new imprint dedicated to his spontaneous musical explorations, conceived with the aim to follow curiosities and share his own music in a back-to-basics and spontaneous fashion.

The inaugural release « For Spirits » is packed with some of the Bristol based producer’s most psychedelic dancefloor studies to date. Flowing seamlessly as a whole piece, this long-form EP showcases Batu’s versatile and deep personal sound, as well as a riveting talent for electronic experiments ranging from trance-inducing ambient to peak-time techno wreckage.

INTL.PDCOMP002 celebrates music’s boundlessness, sampling different flavours of dance music from around the world and fusing them together to form a cohesive whole. The eighth Pressure Dome compilation ties a common thread between hi-octane drum ‘n’ bass mutations and contemplative slow burners, capturing the sonic quality at Pressure Dome’s core as well as embodying our community ethos. Some faces familiar, and others soon-to-be; some hailing from as far afield as Melbourne and New York and others repping the other side of the pond in Switzerland and Ukraine, INTL.PDCOMP002 connects the dots, both between our international family members, and seemingly disparate corners of dance music. 

Some tracks are left to unfurl slowly, gently but assuredly taking up space amongst more high-energy club tools. On Azie, Ukrainian hardware fanatic Dubplanet X hones in on sound design, gradually introducing the complex soundscape’s every layer over a rhythm that cruises at 100BPM. DJ Durbin’s Defttime and Zara’s Zwer stay on the same tip: the former employing a tantalising melody evoking a windchime, and the latter comprising cavernous percussion and acid synths. On Broken Signs, Swiss newcomer Fels bolsters a dembow-inflected rhythm with a gnarly sub bass, whilst Rinse France resident Beatrice takes it to new extremes on Fortunately: a dubstep wobbler that harks back the genre’s golden age. 

Keeping on the hardcore continuum is Infinite Machine affiliate Design Default whose track Mecha Eden is a glitched-out d’n’b mutation that switches in and out of half-time. On the faster end of the spectrum, he is joined by Parisian producer Trois-Quarts Taxi System with the full-bodied dubwise steppa Sur le gouffre. And with our feet firmly planted on the dance floor, Elsa injects a healthy dose of playfulness into her propulsive techno iteration Left My Feelings, whilst Edinburgh’s LWS and NYC’s Tano embrace all things off-kilter. On Day 7, LWS deploys the mindfuck nature of Fever AM co-head honcho Rhyw’s music, whilst Tano’s Keep Your Distance harks more closely to Ploy with menacing vocal chops and an industrial sound palette.

@sann-odea line up their first physical CD compilation 'Ithomiines'. Dedicated to the enrapturing beauty of the Ithomiini butterfly, a species of glasswing butterflies. The compilation aims to soundtrack the metamorphosis of the insect by inviting label artists to interpret the organism. Our pick from the compilation is ‘Natu‘ by Dutch producer and Radio TNP resident @marijnswillens.

Everything Merged Vol 2
(release Dec 2)

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations in 2021, as well as countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 2” features both artists debuting their first tracks on a label as well as mainstays of core local scenes like London, NYC, SF and Berlin. From the percussive mastery of Sister Zo, Arcane Prospect and Manchester's DR MYSTERY to the sly techno mutations of Kudeki, Clay Wilson and Pino Peña, this collection highlights the wide variety of sounds and influences inhibiting the current electronic scene. Especially check out the post-pando exuberance of uuklyph, Henry Kerins and Padua and the bass mutations of Dutch duo TMSV & Case, Kenji Ko, Ragdy and Rex the Bard!

After debuting on 3024 in July 2021 with "I See Faces in the Trees" on the label's first Artist Mentorship Compilation, we are very proud to present Talik's Firefly EP. 

On this record, the London-based producer explores and experiments with the twitchy, flickering movements of animals of the night, their behaviors perhaps analogous to our own in dark and loud rooms surrounded by strangers- alone but together.  Through four beautiful tracks we are shown a more energetic side of Talik's music, layered with the moods of her earlier work for Intercept, Pressure Dome and Control Freak.

Enjoy!

London-based duo D3U5E & Gav shatter the mould and incinerate the pieces with Origin Unknown, an otherworldly collection of hydro-dipped bass music and heat-treated breaks that occasionally ventures into experimental techno territory. 

Fully loaded with four bassbin bothering cuts, Origin Unknown is arguably the duo’s most accomplished work. It’s a midnight tour through each of London’s 32 boroughs, a glistening and explorative journey through thought-provoking and disruptive dance music, and an extended player that cuts razor-sharp through the noise.
