Following a debut appearance on the reverse label in 2020, Bristol-based artist Ido Plumes is back on Livity Sound with four tracks of experimental dance music for soundsystems. Plumes established his sound with pointillist drums and echo chamber atmospherics the first time around, and now he builds on that premise with a more dense and dramatic approach.
Plumes’ layered tracks follow non-linear narratives, switching lanes and exploring unusual, evocative landscapes while retaining a fundamental physicality. Longer form tracks like ‘Afloat’ cover a lot of ground across their run time, while the likes of ‘Been Here’ revel in audacious plot twists to create strikingly confident and original variations on the UK dance music tradition.

Ido Plumes - Waiting 4 Us

Following a digital art renaissance, deconstructed-club tape on Lobster Theremin earlier in the year, and following their debut Berghain performance and Rinse FM Culture vs Reality residency, Overthinker Mob founder Bloomfeld readies six cuts of heavy-duty science techno and grime-laced fuck-step on Breaks N Pieces.

Whilst the Berlin based producers full length dealt with themes of live-action roleplay and anti-ego aesthetics, Probe Report 1 keeps its aim firmly fixated on the club experience. ‘Countdown Now’ is a mutated sequence of broken UK techno; wobbling, bleeping and wubbing its way through off-kilter percussion, icey synths and brooding bass. ‘U Damaged’ makes use of half-time percussive patterns and distorted bass on something that sits between dubstep and North African techno.

‘Window Matrix’ sounds not unlike the sounds emerging from Woozy Soundsystem in Dublin – again striking a delicate balance between 140BPM sound and future-facing techno – before we enter 140 territory entirely with a frightening soundboy grime-dub hybrid.

‘Phonk Off’ brings the tempo down a notch but maintains the high levels of energy thanks to its Pulse X-esque bass stabs and Walton-like textures, before the experimental music-box grime rhythms of ‘Glockk’ brings Bloomfeld’s melting and distinct experience to a close.

London-based duo D3U5E & Gav shatter the mould and incinerate the pieces with Origin Unknown, an otherworldly collection of hydro-dipped bass music and heat-treated breaks that occasionally ventures into experimental techno territory. 

Fully loaded with four bassbin bothering cuts, Origin Unknown is arguably the duo’s most accomplished work. It’s a midnight tour through each of London’s 32 boroughs, a glistening and explorative journey through thought-provoking and disruptive dance music, and an extended player that cuts razor-sharp through the noise.

After a 6-year hiatus, we welcome back the man like Hedchef to the label, serving up a delightful 4-course meal of electro, breaks and bass, complete with a tasty desert from prolific producer, Homemade Weapons.

Introducing the expertly titled: “Infinite Deferral of a Promised Hidden Sincerity”.

We kick off with a bang(er) titled “Dyatlov Full Spec”, an electronic stomper which weaves in Middle Eastern strings and Arabic vocal tones. Next up is “Rhizomatic Heartbreak”, a melodic, thoughtful, drum-centered track with aggressive low end, flavoured with a generous dash of techno seasoning in a palate of electronica. We move into “Hanging In The Balance”, which raises the tension and the temperature another notch; a masterpiece in sound design and progression. This track should come with a *DANGER* warning. Finally, we have “Where Body Meets Air We Are All Cadavers”, settling the tension and with spacious textures, but tasting no less spicy than the preceding dishes.

We are blessed to have Homemade Weapons on the remix of “Dyatlov Full Spec”. The original is completely inverted with his take, centering on breakcore style drum patterns characteristic of a Machinedrum set.
