Back in 2011 we caught up with Martyn as he prepared to release his sophomore album Ghost People on Brainfeeder - conversing away on the obstacle of second album syndrome, his first foray into performing his music live and his early collaborations. Seven years later and an album on Ninja Tune in between, his fourth LP titled Void lands on Berlin's flagship label Ostgut Ton on the 22nd of June. Questioning everything he has done musically in the past, and everything he still wants to do, the album has been described as being written as a means of catharsis, recently being released from the hospital after some unexpected health issues. Turning to Max Roach's 1979 ensemble percussion album M’Boom, however, was the spark in reassessing the elements that drove him to make music in first place.

In his own words: "That was the first record I listened to in my studio after coming out of the hospital. It's a project where Roach works with a slew of top notch percussionists and drummers and rotates them for every composition. Playing this record was such a surreal experience, the first music I consciously listened to after my recovery. I could hear so much space in the music, something I had never noticed before; almost like a 3D experience, with the most striking aspect being the emptiness between the players."

In the space of eight months Martyn would write his fourth album, creating an almost semi-descendant of his first LP Great Lengths sound-wise, yet forging new paths forward in genre. At nine tracks, with no collaborations or vocalists, the music is described as being stripped down its essentials, as Martyn looks to recontextualize his music with elements of Nyabinghi, drum ‘n‘ bass, and gqom. His Truancy Volume, which he calls an 'inspiration mixtape' to compliment Voids, is a collection of music, new and old that he's listened to over the past year. With Digital Mystikz alongside Shed and Objekt alongside Appleblim, Martyn roams through an almost biographical tale of selections, with his love for jazz shining through with the inclusion of London jazz collective Sons Of Kemet. We also caught up with Martyn for the second time on Truants to talk about Voids, how his ideas form, playing live at Panorama Bar and how radio has become more accessible than ever.

If you've ever made it to a Version party, usually held in Tresor's sister club Ohm in Berlin, you'll be well aware of Hops' impeccable taste for percussive, bass heavy club sounds with an undeniable swagger. The former reggae buyer at Hard Wax, where he worked for 7 years, has long been honing his craft in Berlin's clubs and is now one of the most reliable proponents of dub inspired dance music. Hops now heads up the Version clubnight with his friend Orson, who is also responsible for running the label of the same name and continues to put out strong releases from the likes of Agrippa and Yak. The night has become a go-to for many, from Berlin and far beyond, seeking the intersection of dubstep, techno, grime and dub that Hops brings to the floor. As fans ourselves at Truants, we thought he would be perfect to tap up for a Truancy Volume, and he sure didn't disappoint.

AGRIPPA GUESTMIX FOR MELODIC DISTRACTION

Out January 22, pre-order it here: https://paravionrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/taking-first

@henry-greenleaf goes into deeper exploration of his unique stylistic template on the 'Taking First' EP on @paravionrecordings. The A side boasts a substantial 1-2 punch, starting with the darting melody and breathing ambience of the title-track.

PAR004

Premiere: Henry Greenleaf 'Taking First'

The sunlight filtering through the willow tree leaves a mismatched shadow on my wrist, wobbling in tune to the hums of the sun’s sultry song. I pull my arm into the sky, as if controlled by some external force, and watch the air above me conglomerate into a messy farrago of muddy fog left over from the morning dew and perfumed sweat, smelling like rotten oranges or putrid pomegranates. The scents interlock and tango over sky ownership: a miasma of dawn musk. 

Bristol-based producer Henry Greenleaf rises from the ashes of isolation with dub-infused rave track “Stam” pulled from his recent EP Taking First, set for release on London’s Par Avion. The 5-track EP, which features a remix from Cando, is an exercise in pushing the already ill-defined boundaries of experimental and post-dubstep music. “Stam” itself explores more ambient and aleatorical sounds brimming with haunted synth-lines and acid artefacts, unleashing an unearthly and eerie spirit that contains the desperation of the last year.

PREMIERE: Henry Greenleaf - Stam [Par Avion]

Artist: @yilanmusic
Catalogue Number: IM085
Album: Suddenly I Am Falling
Release Date: January 29th, 2021
Format: Digital

Emerging for his second release on Infinite Machine following his highly acclaimed 'Regression' EP with Amazondotcom and Superfície, Leeds - based producer Yilan returns for 'Suddenly I Am Falling'.

The title track opens with polyrhythmic kicks, electric hats and cataclysmic atmospheres that are set to send the dancefloor into a frenzy.

'Static Void' is an authentic Techno Dancehall masterclass with a sharp snare dancing around the syncopated pulse of the track.

Collaborating with Ren for third track, 'Niffler', sees the duo lurking into 90BPM territory for an unstoppable groove with razor-sharp percussive brutality and a masterclass in futuristic sound-design that expands across the entire audio spectrum.

Track four, 'Underwater Construction', is a halftime roller with ramped up distorted hits that emanate from an abandoned warehouse, like machinery exhaling.

'AFADS', featuring collaborator Ebb, launches things back into a rolling abyss like a ticking time bomb of kick drums that poke and play around paranoid lazer stabs and an astounding middle section that will leave you gulping in shock.

Closing the record out with an ambient work 'Lost Signals' portrays softer timbres of birdsong and synthesised windchimes, allowing time to reflect on what is one of the most inspiring talents to come out of the UK underground.

Tracklist:

1. Suddenly I Am Falling
2. Static Void
3. Niffler (with Ren)
4. Underwater Construction
5. AFADS (with Ebb)
6. Lost Signals
