[AD003] - Makuto - Invisible EP (w/ Truncate Remix)

FALSE WITNESS doesn’t care much for escapism. Learning to DJ in their 20’s, the Brooklyn born / Berlin based producer was introduced to Nina Simone and a certain quote would  become the foundation of their sonic point-of-view: “an artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” Now the artist prepares their Lobster Theremin debut. 

The A1 - ‘Life Can Be Cruel’ - is as blunt as the title would suggest; clashing melodic and industrial rhythms creating a sense of big room, rolling largeness. ‘Onlyfans’ follows closely behind through the pitch-black corridors with maximalist, camp energy that feels like an aggressive ownership taking of outdated, sweeping generalisations relating to sex workers, given the relentlessness of the track and its title.

‘Bossa Bathrooms’ further compliments the hard dance appeal, its red-dot sighted lasers swarming the seemingly infinite black walls as we slip slowly towards  maximum overload, while FALSE WITNESSes ode to the city he calls home - ‘NYNYNYNYNYNY’ strays down a lower BPM route, instead focusing on chugging, hypnotising synth-lines and large, controlled noise that sounds like it came straight from the pen of a chaos composer. 

Accompanying the record is a digital only track from FALSE WITNESS (‘Terpsichora’, named after a Japanese manga and anime created by Yoshihiro Togashi) and a remix from Berlin based, Mala Junta resident D.Dan, which gives ‘Life Can Be Cruel’ a renewed sense of identity, with its breaksy steps, MSN Messenger-like samples and high velocity euphoria.

Perspective EP

SITU-777 // Harrison BDP - Perspective EP

2-stepping out of the shadowy streets of the UK is an Unknown Artist with an itchy trigger finger, serving up three of the juiciest garage edits you’ll hear all year on Cheeky Music Group sub-label Fruity Edits.

Found on an old hard drive amongst other dutty delights, the artist in question has released on Hypercolour Records and Dixon Avenue Basement Jams - gaining repute for their hair-raising riddims - but here the Unknown Artist throws it back to the early 00's with three cuts of nostalgic, fun UKG.
 
‘Africa’ kicks things off with a flurry of syncopated beats and peachy bass; the breakdown sheds an uplifting tear of joy before the dance-floor fizzes into a kinetic swarm of out n out energy. ‘Forgot About Dre’ is a certified classic, the interplay between Dre’s timeless vocals and the slinky UK garage backdrop hit the sweet-spot between old and new; energy reloaded. 
 
The artist's rendition of JT’s ‘Cry Me A River’ is a clever blend of skippy drums and instantly recognisable nostalgia, using only astutely selected sounds and a double-dose of personality to create something simultaneously true to its origin but undeniably its own.
