MNL - Longing For Distance EP (incl. Hodge Remix)

Time was tight and being late seemed like a real possibility. She wiped the sweat from her brow and took a deep inhale; anybody who knew her well would attest to her efficient and timely manner. Her day had already been fuelled by anxiety and this was simply the cherry on the cake. Tardiness was not even in her vocabulary, so on these extremely rare occasions, her mind went into meltdown...

Milanese duo Ltd Colours take care of the first release of 2022 on French producer and Rinse resident Clad's Grid imprint. The four tracks on Patterns broaden the label's musical palette; while rhythm is a huge focus in every track, the EP touches on different styles and moods. Imbued with tension and euphoria, the release meanders through hypnotic polyrhythms, percussive bass cuts and revving electro.

Malcolm up next for the pod! The Parisian artist who now resides in London has served up a high tempo mix, around the 160 realm, switching between half-time and edits he's made specifically for the mix.
Club heavy this one, dig in!  We also caught up with him for a little chat, check it below -

AM: Yo! What you been up to recently? 

Hey pals, how's everything? Recently I moved from Paris to London, what a mad city innit? So I've been meeting a bunch of lovely people, been to a few really good concerts and exhibitions, and been eating great food despite what my fellow frenchs might say. 

AM: How and where did you record the mix? Was there a theme or anything behind it? 

I've always been fascinated by contrastful music, hard but sad, dark but exhilarating, club but introspective... I think that define a lot the music I produce or release on my label. So this mix is focusing on fast but slow stuff, this 160 bpm / halfstep rhythmic that I've been playing a lot these last couple of years. It features a bunch of unreleased and original edits I made recently, some just for that mix, as well as some upcoming and unreleased tracks from friends around the world. 

AM: We love your label, GWR. What’s the thoughts behind the curation of it? 

Aw thank you, appreciate that. I leave boundaries pretty open on the curation of the label, but I think somehow it's always about musical crossovers. But even tho some projects are building bridges into indie rock, or modern hip hop or whatever, it's always deeply electronic, music from kids that got brainwashed by too much Gorillaz, Prodigy or Kylie Minogue during their teenage years. Also there's definitely a constant tongue-in-cheek tone, some love for provocation, and sick ass graphic design. 

AM: What’s next for you in 2022?  

I've got a couple of remixes and tunes to come for various artists and labels this winter, and am currently finishing my 3rd EP that might pop up before summer, I'll send you the links. But in 2022 I also want to make a trip to Scotland, dive into Ingmar Bergman's filmography, make a bunch of barbecues with my friends, and maybe get myself a Nintendo Switch.

MNL - Longing For Distance

There was a flickering glow which dazzled and sparkled atop the water of the lake. The last of the summer sunlight was beaming down warm and hot on the open expanse as swimmers took deep breaths and swam in what would be the last of the season.

It was magical up here in the mountains, some called it a zen like paradise. He’d spent many months here, sat by the side of the lake, sketching and drawing the sights and things he saw before him.

Never had he imagined that it might all come to an end quite so quickly for soon he would be back home amongst the tall buildings and the concrete constabulary.

Child of order and chaos. Part of a plan, devised by an obscure sound documentary maker, whose desire was to capture the entropic potential of his tools.
A data management process, wich generates automatic poetry. This object, is a ambigus product. The synthesis of decisions and indeterminacy.
A sound that blurs the boundaries between production and capture, the result of a secretly administered system.

Premiere: Flytipper 'Whorl'

The sun shone bright over the town, leaving the green spaces scorched and dry. It was that balmy kind of heat that made your clothes cling to your body and forced you to constantly mop your brow; she didn’t mind much, she felt at her most content when she was in the sun - it was her happy place. As soon as autumn rolled around the thought of the impending winter forced her into hibernation mode, she didn’t care much for the biting cold and crisp mornings. When spring came she’d emerge once again, only the sun held that power…

Seoul-based imprint Reach out Records are on a mission to raise funds for local causes whilst shining a light on artists from the country’s underground music scene. So far the non-profit imprint has supported projects and initiatives like Angel House, a residence for disabled people; their friend Tarek’s cancer treatment; and homeless support group PLUR. After a four year hiatus they return with their fourth VA release, ‘For The Youth’, which features music from Yetsuby, DJ Botermelk, Korea Town Acid and more, covering electro, acid, breaks, bass and more. This time they’re raising money for local charity, DDing Dong, who help support LGBTQIA+ teens in South Korea by providing them with counselling, shelter and support.

PREMIERE: Korea Town Acid - Plateau [Reach Out Records]

Parule taps in with a five-track EP that explores different tempos and ventures into new sonic territories while maintaining some of his signature elements.

Stoned Squirrel opens the EP with a slow, head-nodding groove driven by a filtered acid hook and rattling percussions.

Off Shore follows as a stripped-back roller, evoking a hypnotic, submerged atmosphere.
Chants nods to Parule’s earlier work—fast-paced electro that dances between breakbeats and squelching acid lines.

Laufbahn is stripped down, raw and agonizing. Like running in circles with a broken foot.
Fujiyama pushes into the 160 BPM realm, weaving in lyrics and vocal textures from ŽEN's "Lov na crne tipke", a track Parule obsessed over throughout the past year.
