Sun People - Discover [Premiere]

After a 6-year hiatus, we welcome back the man like Hedchef to the label, serving up a delightful 4-course meal of electro, breaks and bass, complete with a tasty desert from prolific producer, Homemade Weapons.

Introducing the expertly titled: “Infinite Deferral of a Promised Hidden Sincerity”.

We kick off with a bang(er) titled “Dyatlov Full Spec”, an electronic stomper which weaves in Middle Eastern strings and Arabic vocal tones. Next up is “Rhizomatic Heartbreak”, a melodic, thoughtful, drum-centered track with aggressive low end, flavoured with a generous dash of techno seasoning in a palate of electronica. We move into “Hanging In The Balance”, which raises the tension and the temperature another notch; a masterpiece in sound design and progression. This track should come with a *DANGER* warning. Finally, we have “Where Body Meets Air We Are All Cadavers”, settling the tension and with spacious textures, but tasting no less spicy than the preceding dishes.

We are blessed to have Homemade Weapons on the remix of “Dyatlov Full Spec”. The original is completely inverted with his take, centering on breakcore style drum patterns characteristic of a Machinedrum set.

Originally hailing from Japan, Akira Knightley is a London-based Drum and Bass DJ specialising in the deeper, more leftfield sides of the genre. Fast-forwarding through his squat raving as a teen in London and via an immersive stint living in Bristol as a student, he is now a resident of the esteemed Community-led Subtle Radio, as well as for SDC, a grassroots forest rave collective based in West London.

With a knack for unearthing ‘hidden gem' type tunes and a love for the more niche corners of the genre (such as the Autonomic Movement), his signature style combines ethereal melodies, engaging drumwork and gritty low-end bass weight to devastating effect. This mix is a Lo-fi, textured affair; weaving a journey through minimal dnb, jungle and halftime with both bite and elegance towards a haunting conclusion.

Akira Knightley - Full Spectrum Mix Challenge

Disruptive Italian artist Fabrizio Carlini aka COIDO debuts on Nerve Collect with his Irreversible EP, which brings a hyper-charged collision of rhythm, tempo and genre.

COIDO is a new project from an accomplished artist who is all about engineering bold new sound worlds. It draws on a lifetime of collecting sonic data and pulls from techno, Jersey club, breakbeat, global groove and much more. Previous high-energy works found their way to labels like YUKU, Vision and Exit and into the record bags of artists like Jamie xx, Ivy Lab and dBridge. This latest EP sits in a space-time playground that imagines a new future for club music. 

Opener 'Irreversible' is powered by throbbing bass and intricate percussive accents that demand a physical response. Precise sound design, low-end distortion and humming static all bring it to life in HD. 'Make Make' is then a relentless 160 bpm assault with scattershot percussion triggering manic toms, twisted bass stabs and wordless vocal loops. It's controlled chaos and frenzied funk of the highest order. 'Majana' slows things down but is another sub-powered juggernaut with syncopated hits that swings, bumps and prowls in irresistible ways. '12am' is a dank, bass-loaded workout with warped pads bending around the kinetic architecture in ways that contort minds and bodies. Lastly, 'Delirio' is polyrhythmic bass science with ghostly pads and slithers of synth sketching out guaranteed dance floor hysteria. 

Weaponised, unpredictable, and wired for the future, this is club music for a post-genre world.

Superwave EP: 
Following up on the drops from Gyrofield and Tim Reaper, Low End Activist arrives on Best Intentions with four mutant workouts up-cycled from dormant projects and moulded into weighty, outer limits club gear.
 
Low End Activist is best known for his sizeable output across Sneaker Social Club, Peak Oil and his own LEA label, where he twists grime and dubstep structures to gnarly, tweaked soundscapes indebted to dystopian sci-fi and social realism. Stepping up to Kasra's Best Intentions label, he tries a different approach by combing back through his archives of samples and stems and piecing together tracks with a sharp, surgical intent. 
 
In a canny display of stop-start dynamics, the A side comes through resolutely moody between the minimal, eerie atmospherics of ‘Wave ’01 and the dislocated vocal trickery and half-step pressure of ‘Wave 02’. On ‘Wave ’03 you can hear the click and crunch of early days Perlon and the rudeboy swing of El B, while the drums on ‘Wave ’04 lock into the mechanical rotation of Gescom as a counterpoint to the enduring hardcore influence coursing underneath the surface of the track. 
 
Maintaining Best Intentions' commitment to fundraising, all proceeds from BEST003 will be donated to Medical Aid For Palestine (https://www.map.org.uk/)

We welcome for our final release of 2019, Germany’s very own Max Hock aka Es.tereo. This, our third release on our ‘Earthbase’ series, sees Max arrive with an already solid pedigree of output via such labels such as the now defunct but seminal Hidden Hawaii imprint, as well as German modern dnb staples such as Absys Records and Urban Poetry. His perhaps most notable previous work is arguably his ‘Theme’ project (via Samurai Music) which saw universal praise from the leftfield dnb scene and beyond , taking the landscape of dub techno atmospherics into a whole exciting new format of 170bpm-led excursions, when most people where hypnotised by minimalist sub-lead dread.

‘Ra’ Sees Max taking on a whole new level of sonic architecture, with dense and complex arrangements that almost lean into modern experimental breakbeats, remaining coherent enough for dancers at your local jungle rave. The levels are however undeniable, this is modern atmospheric jungle taken to a different level altogether.

‘This EP was conceived whilst focusing on different energies and the translation of mixing those energies into soundscapes. Ultima’s Breath was the beginning and is the centre of the EP. It´s the ultimate Unification/Union of those energies I feel that came out of that process. All the other pieces came with the flow subsequently and I decided to explore the different vibrations and facets which lead to this similar feeling. I feel the result is this balance of 4 expressions of this energy.’ 
- Es.tereo

The EP Sets the scene with ‘Ultima’s Breath’ a frantic but atmospheric breakbeat meditation that opens the doorway to new levels of breakbeat layering that might excite fans of skee mask, square pusher and remarc alike, moving swiftly into the heavy hitter ‘Temple Of Ra’, a half-stepping but still energetic sound-system staple, coming with a kind of tribal slow/fast style but taking the idea to a whole new level of intricacy, whilst maintaining a concrete backbeat that DJ’s can be sure to be drawing for years to come. the B-side opens with a complex tech-stepping dnb roller in the form of ‘Ancestral’ wherein The Alternating breaks provide grounding for yet another complex landscape of percussion and brush strokes of reverb and melody that orbit around the core gracefully. The EP closes with ‘Flying Disc’ - a Frantic medley of minimalist percussive motions that seem to levitate above a dominating saturated sub-bass line that will test any decent system to it’s limits.

‘RA’ is the ideal blend of dancefloor and headphones that we feel we have been honing with our output at Cosmic Bridge, and we are happy to be a part of what may be the evolution of a dnb artist about to potentially transcend the genre itself.

This is put simply, fresh as fuck.
