LYRICS:

What'd fate choose? Had a breakthrough,
If I'm a fuck up, then what's it make you?
Who's to say who's okay?
Who's a demon? Who's a saint?
Who is real? Who is fake?
No one cares anyway. (2x)

All these nothings discussing the fucking people they judging, I'll keep it blunt like a bludgeon, get to your head like concussions. Don't wanna see people be giving in, feeling too limited, because of opinions that are belittling. Fuck 'em all to hell bitch, see their faces melting.

What'd fate choose? Had a breakthrough,
If I'm a fuck up, then what's it make you?
Who's to say who's okay?
Who's a demon? Who's a saint?
Who is real? Who is fake?
No one cares anyway. (2x)

THE JUDGE (prod. FATAL - M) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW]

Bakground follows up his humungous release for E-Beamz and RSD with a back-to-the-raw jungle, DNB and bassline white label on Lobster.

Having honed a early 90's breakbeat infused sound that gives a heavy nod to London and the Good Lookin' sound, this handstamped five-tracker explores his scintillating sound pallet, cycling through scuffed & muffled jungle, heavy-chopped drum 'n' bass and womping bassline-garage-house. 

Seriously sub-heavy club weapons incoming!

LYRICS:

I don't hate nobody, ain't nobody gonna help me though.
Living how I live and ain't nobody gonna tell me don't.
I don't give a shit and everybody probably feels the same.
Doing what I do till everybody fucking knows my name.

Feel like the Wizard of Oz, am I legend or am I a god?
Give you a brain in the place of your straw,
Leaving them shocked and I leave them in awe.
I'm the man in charge, beat the odds, got the fuck up out of Dodge,
World gonna keep aging, changing, gonna give this shit a quick fix like a new mod.
I'm like the Pumpkin King, when it comes to summoning,
all my restless spirits, you gon' hear it, we ain't mumbling.
Where the fuck they go? I don't know, somewhere hot or cold,
It don't fucking matter, I would rather get on with the show.

All these fucking people, but I can't relate.
Look at what you're doing, you should be ashamed.
People in the world, sometimes they got me low,
but I ain't even tryna hate nobody though.

I don't hate nobody, ain't nobody gonna help me though.
Living how I live and ain't nobody gonna tell me don't.
I don't give a shit and everybody probably feels the same.
Doing what I do till everybody fucking knows my name.

Dj Kush Boogie; an enigmatic and mysterious entity in which all we know of their existence is the alias comprises of two talented producers, supposedly from the southern hemisphere. The mystery surrounding the release bears no real surprise - this being their third in the series of supposedly unmarked offerings seemingly via London stalwart, Lobster.

Regarding the important thing here; the music, the series and this release alone is truly outstanding and standalone in it's approach. Those quick to judge may be inclined to pop the NZ duo in the 'lofi' box - however, it's so much more than that. Gristly saturation and glitched percussion shrouds the release as a whole, yet the club and floor remain at the core of each tracks aura. 'Dancers Cut' is no exception, anchored by sanguine keys, a bullish bass line and swathing vocal sweeps - all shelled by hallmark Kush twitched percussion and topped with a flute motif, catchier than the plague.

LYRICS:

Sono pazzo, sono solo. Amo tutti, ti amo molto.

My life feels like it’s a movie, bro.
Necklace and I’m dressed like Furio,
Gonna blow the fuck up like Vesuvio,
Not sure if anything’s gonna cure me though, no.
Need dough like a pizzeria,
Mia vita, canto “oje vita mia,”
‘O surdato ‘nnammurato, sono stanco,
Killing everybody to become the capo, si.
I’ve been thinking about what the shit costs,
What to give, what to take as a big boss,
Say you’re ready, but you’re not and it shows,
You’re exposed, people know it ‘cause you look a little bit lost.
One thing is the learning curve, if you wanna be a thief or a murderer,
Motherfuckers don’t play, never heard of worse,
You’re the one who decides who deserves the hurt, yeah.

Sono pazzo, sono solo. Amo tutti, ti amo molto.

I don’t think I can deal with the madness,
Bullshit on my mind and I can’t rest,
Music, I’ma use as a canvas,
On a high note and I won’t be landing.
I’m still fucking down to earth,
Around the curve I learned to denounce the worst,
Come out the dirt, I’m up on a mountain perch,
And still I fucking rise with the birds that chirp, yeah.
Next thing, I’ma beat the best to be the best,
I’ll leave you asleep with pesci,
I decongest, these thoughts need to leave my head,
As I learn from my mistakes, you repeat regrets, yes.
Just need to keep improving,
Progress with forward movements,
See things for what they are, go hard and shatter all illusions.

Sono pazzo, sono solo. Amo tutti, ti amo molto.

Teenage Birdsong

Red Rack'em's take on 'D.I.E.' by super fresh new post-punkers, The Imbeciles - is wonderfully curveball as one might expect; homing in on one unique part of the vocal and making it the fullcrum, from which his psychedelic, deep-house, hardcore jazzathon is then able to blossom and unravel before your very eyes. Atmospheric, experimental and hooky too - clever business from the Bergerac boss.
Next up we have the amazing Oliver Ho and his Broken English Club. Here we see a more flagrant and faithful use if stems - as through layering both band parts, and instruments of his own design - he turns 'D.I.E.' into a towering slab of dark and raw, industrial EBM...

The Midnight Orchard (Epilogue)

Earthbound

The American cable-television industry exploded in the 1980s, pushing broadcasts of diverse programming and emissions of low-laying cultures into homes. Community stations piggybacked on the digital developments of the time, extending their existence through telephony and broadcast affiliates. For those growing up in this time, in locations such as New York City, the localized communications beamed into their homes exposed them to an impressionable array of disparate sounds and visions. Move into the 1990s and New York was filled to the brim of emergent cultures drawing from this ebullition of communication. From Rammellzee’s shapeshifting to Frank and Karen Mendez’s Nu Groove imprint fusing reggae, poetry and house, nascent ideas emanated from the city walls, from within stores such as Sonic Groove store and on VHS releases such as Stakker’s The Evil Acid Baron Show, a legendary technicolor psychedelic trip along the wildest frontiers of acid house. As scenes expanded and identities developed, such individuals weather the events of the visceral now, expressing themselves right into an unpredictable future.

Function’s long career has seen him uncover a vast range of sonic identities, a mainstay through house, techno and industrial with collaborations with the likes of Regis, Damon Wild alongside his highly influential Infrastructure imprint. With influences deeply tied to pop art, rave and gay scenes, and early memories of block-parties emitting Kraftwerk and Strafe, he found himself seeking out the undercover illegal nights of the 90s on a quest of sexual unearthing, mixing the ever-yearning escapology mission of disco with the influential DJ sets of Jeff Mills. For his new album Existenz, he marks a clear step away from the corporeal techno of his recent releases. Pivoting around themes of religion, sexuality, trauma and healing, it is a work expansive and celebratory, a clear liberation from a deeply internalized past. Formed from a collection of recordings made in a period from late 2016 to mid 2019, Existenz takes the form of a creative outburst in reaction to a number of traumas - recent, childhood and throughout Function’s life.

Cosmic synths soar and swoop in ‘Pleasure Discipline’ through towering stacks of rhythm that stutter and creak to a halt before rebooting, a firm robotic response to human intervention. ‘Zahlensender’ reflects a spatial tetris of urban life, as digitalization set within an XYZ matrix confronts the sprawling city. Constant arpeggiated meditations echo synaptic transmissions, effecting a dissolution of boundaries. ’The Approach’ recalls the unification of the self, a state of delirium non-subjective and smooth, as all connections and functions give way to simple intensities of feeling, crossing the threshold into spirituality. ’Golden Dawn’, featuring Stefanie Parnow, marks a further elevation of dubbed-out euphoria, as once more positive rays emerge. Parnow assisted the production process in its entirety, providing inspiration and featuring vocal contributions. His ode to the effortless short-trip urban navigation 'Kurzstrecke' finds Function in motion, upfront and bold, snapshots of conversation and flickers of light. 'Ertrinken' finds metallic bass jabs swamping snipped synthetic voices, with hidden stores of emotion set as a nod to the history of vocoders as a tool for encrypted military communication. House icon Robert Owens features on 'Growth Cycle' and 'Be', entrenching a celebratory atmosphere over Function's clubwise leanings. Closing track 'Downtown 161' reflects the unmistakable filtered and squashed interjections of television, and sampled dance vocals - a sound for the curious, dreamers and dancers.

With Existenz, Function reveals an essential body of work, spread over 4LP/2CD - thought experiments on the role of identity and spirituality after a lifetime of upheaval and trauma.

The Imbeciles are back! Their follow up to 'D.I.E.' is a raw slab or paranoid post-punk action, and the remixes they've brought along for the ride, celebrate the vibe of the original in wonderfully contrasting ways.
First up is Ryan James Ford - one of the most exciting underground techno producers on the block - who hits us with fast scuttling break beats, thick atmosphere, dark melodies and an upfront, experimental attitude.
