Whythoven, Volume 4: Radio Whyheem

Nu-Nu 916

Rounding off the year on Redstone Press, Debba comes correct with a varied four-tracker laden with hefty subs and lock-tight percussion.

The A-side starts out with fast-paced staccato kicks and the oscillating, warped bassline of ‘Called Up’. These elements soon develop into a twisted, energetic romp, showing Debba’s innate knack for upfront, low-end percussive work. Continuing with this theme ‘Direction’ adds reverb-drenched vocals to the mix and ups the bass weight, with gritty, looping subs throughout. These two will put that soundsystem you’re dreaming of playing on, to the test!

The B-side is more restrained and meditative but retains the heavy subs, opening with the downtempo and introspective chords of ‘I Said’. The drop in pace gives Debba’s signature beatwork and melodic flourishes space to breathe with the dreamy synths of ‘Subtle’ building up, then breaking down into a low-slung UK Techno roller.

Bright shines the light behind the mysterious silhouette of Acidgigi - is what you may think listening to his "Weirdo Jelly EP" coming out in March 2024 via bass music headz favorite Flippen Bits.
 The Milan-based producer makes his debut on the label with Weirdo Jelly EP, offering a fresh take on electronic dance music that is both adventurous and mysterious but elegant nonetheless.

While the entrancing repetitiveness of percussive loops on Weirdo Jelly EP are a love letter to the dance floor, there is a dedication to songwriting to be sensed that goes beyond functional club tunes.
Cinematic and melancholic, yet full of hope. Euphoric and immersive, yet effortlessly free. Across these three originals, Acidgigi carves out a sound that is uniquely his own.

Toronto’s Ciel adds a thrilling 90s inspired remix version of Silly Dub that fuses the dubby, percussive nature of the original with vocals chops into a trip of a dance floor tune.

Hypercolour label boss Alex Jones hits a purple patch of late, firing out left of centre and decidedly wonky electronic beasts.  On his latest two track single ‘Contact’/’Told U’, the seasoned producer continues this run of infectious tunes.

With a prolific career spanning decade, Jones, one half of techno duo Dense & Pika, as well as producing under the Minder moniker, continues to push boundaries in electronic music. 

‘Contact’ melds a looping piano motif, energetic beats and some skewed sound manipulation, whilst ‘Told U’ is a low-slung affair, micro samples and sonic design work sprinkled over a chugging groove.

Terminal Interference

"Drawing from the fictional worlds of sci-fi to mirror the real-time dystopia of the world around us, on Simulacra AndWahn conjures a project that is equally as deep, introspective, and thought-provoking as it is at home on the dancefloor; liberated from the concerns of it’s contextual themes. The dance equivalent of a doom scroll-fried brain cell, Simulacra embodies the need for both escapism and enlightenment all at once."
