For EYX020 New York City-based artist No Sir returns with a three-tracker titled Radial Burn, set to be released on November 22, 2024, via Turin's forward-thinking label Early Reflex. Known for pushing the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric experimentation, No Sir delivers a project that deepens their exploration of the tension between double and half-time beats, layering sinuous percussion with moments of intense noise and breath.
In Radial Burn, No Sir seeks to explore how subtle shifts in rhythmic stress can alter the listener's physical response to the music. Through intricate, often elusive patterns, the EP finds unique spaces within the beat, producing a heady blend of club energy and introspective sound design.
The title track “Radial Burn” sets the tone for the EP with relentless, driving percussion that continually shifts between double and half-time, pulling the listener into a dynamic, almost vertiginous space. The push-pull effect of rhythmic stress brings both tension and release, with each percussive layer adding depth to the track's intensity.
“Soft Tissue” follows next like a sonic exploration of fragility and pressure. Fusing erratic, snapping rhythms with expansive atmospheric textures, this track finds moments of air within the chaos. It evokes a tactile, bodily experience—like sound massaging against skin, sometimes delicately, sometimes forcefully.
Closing the EP, “Layer 03” draws from Drum 'n Bass, UK Garage, and Dubstep, blending heavy basslines and syncopated beats with a modern edge. It weaves together intricate grooves and deep bass, offering a fresh take on bass-infused and underground sounds.

No Sir said:
“In working on this EP, I was drawn to the push and pull between double and half-time, finding pockets of air and atmosphere amidst layers of sinuous percussion and noise. By shifting the stress of the beat within each track, I aimed to explore how subtle changes in rhythmic emphasis can impact the human body.”

‘Radial Burn’ is available across all platforms on Friday 22nd of November 2024.

Dangerous Youth (Instrumental)

The phrase “FOOTMAHI” was first brought to light by BFC founding member MUSHMANE of Tainui.

The story goes that the BFC were huddled up drinking a communal slab of 8% Cody’s on a bitterly cold Ōtautahi winters afternoon watching a young in-form Shaun Johnson absolutely tear the Sydney Roosters defence to shreds with his electric “footwork” - when Mushmane screamed out “LOOK AT THE FOOTMAHI” changing the course of BFC history forever all in the birthplace of The Big Fresh Collective; The Parage on 40A Richill Street, Belfast, Ōtautahi.

The Journey of Footmahi has taken us all over AOTEAROA working with & entertaining people from all walks of life that we are proud to call our Whānau ❤️‍🔥
