The second installment of our SPLIT series is here. There's not much to say about these guys, you know their panache, but we will try: One of the most exciting producers of recent years, who can be none other than Aquarian, delivers a long-range missile. A timeless track that is atypical in the Canadian's catalogue but that is for sure at the top of his registers. 


Second track is delivered by Bristol’s Hodge, who has accustomed us to tracks that are played everywhere. This time, he delivered an incessant, percussive and dynamic track, perfectly sequenced that also has one of those melodies that make Jacob's tracks seasonal anthems. 


Both bangs are out now! Available via Bandcamp, your preferred platform and super ready to fulfill their purpose at clubs and festivals.

We are very excited to announce a new chapter in our journey. Here we are blazing a new trail, making our way to document and leave a first class record of sound design, Field Recording and cutting edge electronic music made in Sur América. We present our first album, 'Desde los oídos de un sapo', by our favourite amphibian, a man ahead of his time, the Uruguayan Lechuga Zafiro.

"How could I call it my sound if I had not found it myself?"

States the artist, who finished forging his outstanding musical identity on the basis of field recordings. Metal, wood, plastic, glass, rock, toads, birds, sea lions, pigs and water (in its various forms) captured in Uruguay, El Salvador, Chile, China, Argentina and Portugal, coexist and exchange harmonic and dynamic properties. By altering, editing, or simply letting the sounds manifest themselves, Lechuga generates a wide and complex rhythmic-timbral universe. These are 7 tracks that never cease to have a consistency and a fierce character. Lechuga's debut album is a milestone in Latin electronic music. This document opens a new territory, one so genuine and challenging, so real and fertile, that we are confident it will be a must-have anywhere on the planet. This collaboration is our new contribution to the mission of contemplation, so please stop, come to this frog's ear, to feel with both Pablo and us.

Lechuga Zafiro — Desde los oidos de un sapo — TRALP1

On Escape from the Club, @alecpace makes his return to All Centre, following up his Absolute Pressure EP from 2019 with four wonky, breakneck techno cuts.

Opener Linea kicks off proceedings with a buoyant approach to electro. Encouraging shouts of “come on” are filtered through disorienting FX, usher in sliding synth lines. As the track progresses, the frenzied synths increase in intensity before giving way to a skeletal drum beat.

On the second track Drowning, throbbing kick drums pair with skizzed-out hi-hats. The track’s wonky, rolling groove builds up towards a propelling synthetic percussion onslaught with unique sound design to boot.

The title track increases the intensity with skewed acidic pronouncements leading into a lolloping 168bpm beat, embellished with Pace’s characteristic vocal sample disfigurations.

Finally the EP settles on its most frenetic excursion, False Claims. Hiking the BPM up to 148, high velocity drums which nod to UK Funky guide the listener towards ecstatic fervor that is hinted at throughout the proceeding tracks.

Escape from the Club is available on all digital platforms from October 18th.

For EYX020 New York City-based artist No Sir returns with a three-tracker titled Radial Burn, set to be released on November 22, 2024, via Turin's forward-thinking label Early Reflex. Known for pushing the boundaries of rhythmic and atmospheric experimentation, No Sir delivers a project that deepens their exploration of the tension between double and half-time beats, layering sinuous percussion with moments of intense noise and breath.
In Radial Burn, No Sir seeks to explore how subtle shifts in rhythmic stress can alter the listener's physical response to the music. Through intricate, often elusive patterns, the EP finds unique spaces within the beat, producing a heady blend of club energy and introspective sound design.
The title track “Radial Burn” sets the tone for the EP with relentless, driving percussion that continually shifts between double and half-time, pulling the listener into a dynamic, almost vertiginous space. The push-pull effect of rhythmic stress brings both tension and release, with each percussive layer adding depth to the track's intensity.
“Soft Tissue” follows next like a sonic exploration of fragility and pressure. Fusing erratic, snapping rhythms with expansive atmospheric textures, this track finds moments of air within the chaos. It evokes a tactile, bodily experience—like sound massaging against skin, sometimes delicately, sometimes forcefully.
Closing the EP, “Layer 03” draws from Drum 'n Bass, UK Garage, and Dubstep, blending heavy basslines and syncopated beats with a modern edge. It weaves together intricate grooves and deep bass, offering a fresh take on bass-infused and underground sounds.

No Sir said:
“In working on this EP, I was drawn to the push and pull between double and half-time, finding pockets of air and atmosphere amidst layers of sinuous percussion and noise. By shifting the stress of the beat within each track, I aimed to explore how subtle changes in rhythmic emphasis can impact the human body.”

‘Radial Burn’ is available across all platforms on Friday 22nd of November 2024.
