weird metallic ish

Banlieue enters 2022 with a bang courtesy of Mortimer Dubaton’s Athens VS Predator EP. Behind this monicker is Louis De La Gorce, an Athens-based French producer, notorious for his duo The Pilotwings and his solo project Eiger Drums Propaganda.

De La Gorce’s well-documented jocularity seeps through this release, right from its title to the track names and actual productions. This idea is approached through another angle with NEED FOR SPEED, a tune where car-related sounds are brilliantly used by the producer. Layering samples and building a tribal groove sprinkled with chopped up breaks, thick low-end bass, and a zest of vocal samples, this mutant track fit for a car chase in the eponymous video game finds its influence in modern hip hop vibes, but the spirit of rave music is never too far. The result is playful, forwarding thinking bass music that will elicit a response from listeners and dancers without fail.parallels with hard drum purveyors.

Debba - Electrolyte [Premiere]

"It feels like at the moment, we're lost in the long dark tunnel. Plenty of dance music seems to operate in a revivalist form, within a regression cycle, it's hard to pinpoint the exact sound of "now" without it referencing other points in history.

"We're trapped in 20th century culture on higher definition screens", poses Mark Fisher in a seminal lecture, and thus, exposes Berardi's concept of the Slow Cancellation of the Future. "Nothing ever really dies, but that's not good". In 1992 it was impossible to imagine the shape of music 6 months into the future, so why are we now constantly going back to these genres?

My aim with this release was to try and participate in the legacy of the Hardcore Continuum within the sonic context of the current world. A hyper-online, overstimulated landscape where our attention is constantly invaded by notification after notification, stimulus after stimulus. I try to materialise this by reshaping sharp noise into pulse, genre staples like the breakbeat get torn apart and forced into a brand new skeleton, and riot-invoking grime chants are repurposed into music set for a bleak now. Jungle, Dub, Grime, Garage, they are all present here, but the heavy gravitational pull of their legacies presents to me as a black hole I've tried to encapsulate in this EP.

Why is the future vanishing?"

Bonk Remixes

Bonk (Sputnik One Remix)

Peace Portal is pleased to premiere Should Be Looking by @arinakrondeva forthcoming on @maudevos @delusional_records

Full release available here:

https://arinakrondeva.bandcamp.com/album/scattered-2

Influenced by her current Florida home, Arina straddles the long stamped history of Florida breaks and modern day experimental club music. With this body of work, Arina carves her own path of zany eccentricities, emotive solitude & club kinship, while paying homage to the influential club scene that shaped the breakbeats we know today. 

The sounding of Scattered materialized during a time Arina was fuzing the old and new elements of self. She funneled the overwhelm of feeling "scattered" & torn into this EP. We feel the energetic push and pull throughout this body of work in her quest for clarity & connection.

Hear more from Arina via our interview on the Peace Portal website:

SELVAJIA & C1BERIA – HIPERLAXA
Out now!
🔗 Link in bio → terminalrec.bandcamp.com/music

From a house under renovation in Lima — surrounded by construction noise, traffic, and the intensity of city life — SELVAGIA & CIBER1A carved out the mental space to build HIPERLAXA: a raw document of transformation and catharsis.
Produced in just a few days with field recordings, modular synths, and shared intuition, the record flows like a fixed point watching everything around it mutate, collapse, and rebuild itself.

Industrial, club, deconstructed, funk, Afro-Peruvian — influences are torn up, distorted, and blended without hesitation.

Both artists come from improvisation and dropped any preconceptions, letting the process itself define the sonic world of HIPERLAXA — transient, intense, danceable, and unexpected.

More than a record, HIPERLAXA is the echo of a vital transition, captured in a moment where everything was shifting.
Between Lima and Montreal, urgency and contemplation, SELVAGIA & CIBER1A  craft a rhythmic antidote for times of perpetual motion.

Tracklist:

02. Okow

PREORDER: https://echotrainer.bandcamp.com/album/ecva002-5-years-of-echo-train

'ECVA002', aka '5 Years of Echo Train' is a newly announced compilation by the Ōtautahi/Christchurch label of the same name. The imprint is celebrating its fifth year in rotation with a collection of tracks contributed by those who have already featured in its half decade life span.

One such contributor is Jagā, Echo Train's founder & conductor. 'Beam Trace' is a spacious showcase of Jagā's evolution not only as a label head, but a producer too. Rhythmic percussion is met by sci-fi melodies and breathy vocal samples, pushed along by electro-inspired key stabs.

Of the track, Jagā shared:

"The core of the song is from a dream I had aboard a distant space station. A pervasive vocal features throughout, which channels the crew's voices across the ship's intercom. The song unfolds through three emotional phases - a descent into darkness, a brief moment of uneasy stillness and an overwhelming intensity.

It all makes sense to me when listening, haha. It's always fascinating to hear how others perceive my art."

The release is in part dedicated to Lui Mill, a collaborator & friend of Echo Trains who sadly passed away last year. "We are honoured to have his incredible talent featured on this release," Echo Train shared.

'ECVA002, 5 Years of Echo Train' is available via Echo Train's Bandcamp & a very limited number of cassette tapes this Thursday, May 8.
