Track 5 from our recent Riotous Rhythmatics EP on VISION Recordings.

Riotous Rhythmatics

Warn Dub

Dutch studio wizard Thys is back with another ridiculously fun single from his upcoming EP Eigenwise. On "Versatile," he pulverizes syncopated syllables over rolling jungle drums with all the detailed crispness that you’d expect from the Noisia member. The vibe is ravey in the 5th dimension, and we want wristbands for whatever party Thys is throwing.

Jack Stevens aka Sully has become somewhat of a cult figure in the jungle world with his output being in high demand. His work is unmistakable. It’s always true to it’s origins while simultaneously adding new takes and juxtapositions in palette and composition. A true artist that excels in his field.

Stevens returns to Astrophonica with Swandive, a body of work presented in dual energies - dark & light, body & mind, Yin & Yang. In Werk you’re put to the test physically as es- ki-like percussion stabs grab the attention and demand a response. A staple in Fracture’s DJ sets for the last year or so.

Poison demonstrates a side to Stevens’ production that is harder, meaner, cruder and all together more brutal than he is known for. The result is an infectious mix of venomous bass and corrupted drum breaks fit to kill any dance.

The title track Swandive begins to counterbalance the fierce energy and bring some har- mony opening with calming strings and trademark icy melodies before elevating to an intense state of amen divinity that twists and turns in a story like fashion.

Memories completes the balance with euphoric bass stabs and emotional strings culminat- ing in a searing and conclusive anime-like solo. Some of Stevens’ most daring work. The cycle is complete.

Werk

Tokyo-based musician.
I specialize in producing highly musical songs that combine beat programming using DAW/Hardware with my own keyboard/piano.
I have been influenced by nineties techno, house, neo-soul/R&B, jazz and contemporary music throughout my long career, creating a multidimensional and multi-layered world view.

In the late nineties, I published a series of works and remixes based on sampling on the Belgian experimental music label Sub Rosa, earning recognition mainly in Europe and the United States.
After a hiatus in the ’00s, I resumed my activities in 2011 and released three works that developed my musicality based on the traditional approach of IDM.
“Memorabilia” (2012), “Twisted” (2015), and “Ever Changing States” (2016).
These pieces have been called cross-genre hybrid music, integrating elements of R&B and bass.

In 2021, I finally released my first new album in about five years, “Vacation Package”.
And it’s on the Ominira label, hosted by Gunnar Wendel (aka Kassem Mosse), who is a unique figure in the experimental house scene, so it’s a combination that is both unexpected and somehow relatable.

This album is characterized by its complex and unique rhythmic construction that goes beyond the traditional techno/house and hip-hop influences and approaches more indigenous beats such as footwork/juke and tribal.
While my career has inevitably been marked by 90’s-style atmospherics, my use of harmonies and tones is layered with a strong influence of new generation jazz.
I am proud to say that the physicality and arrangements are all in one to create a unique Bisk world that breaks through the outer shell of beat music.
