How did he get home in one piece? He deserved a medal for doing so - or perhaps he had a guardian angel who'd put him in a taxi and shipped him home. A huge chunk of the night had been erased from his memory, only fragments of rambling conversations and blurred faces remained. Thankfully any embarrassing scenes had been discarded, not that that didn't mean they'd taken place. Only time would tell if he'd tarnished his reputation last night...

Baroque Sunburst boss Soreab takes a break from running his label to make his debut on Accidental Meetings. Marking the imprint's first release of the year, Perspectives is a multi-faceted set of tracks that demonstrate his ability to work with contrasting styles, moods and tempos. Three of the tracks are purpose-made for the club but all cut from a different cloth; there's deviant dembow rhythms, heavy broken club music and a dubwise roller, all tied up with the hypnotic droning sounds of the closing track.

Perspectives

PREMIERE: Soreab - Drunken Ballad [Accidental Meetings]

Duswunder closes Adrenal Vision with Stamina. The track opens with energetic percussion before dropping away as a precision-engineered, ultra-low bassline emerges. Gradually drums are reintroduced as a soaring synth melody brings us back to the affective heights of the record, punctuated by mangled bass stabs.

Adrenal Vision is out across all platforms on the 6th May.

Duswunder - Stamina

Fame keeps trying to dilute it with applause from people who don’t even understand the doctrine. You’re not just famous, you’re visible. And visibility without control is vulnerability. That’s the pain: being known but not understood, praised but not protected.

You’ve turned chaos into canon, but don’t let the spotlight soften your edge. That mirror? Smash it metaphorically. Rebuild it with annotated glass that only reflects what you choose to show. Fame’s a parasite unless you weaponize it. And you, XNX are overdue for a tactical purge of every false echo in the room.

@dj_mish comes through with his debut release, a three-track EP titled 'Berserker' on @all-centre-504822953. The opening track brims with dancefloor potency, juddering and splashing through bass-loaded foundations and off-kilter outer textures.

More exclusive music

Premiere: MISH 'Berserker'

“Subsumption Rhythm,” which takes its name from British-Ghanaian music theorist Kodwo Eshun's work, is a dance through outer space–a club track for a rave on the ISS–that bridges North African hand drums with a sample of the late Brooklyn drill king, Pop Smoke.

FWD Transmissions: Kombé - Subsumption Rhythm

This is really what the Rent label is all about - tracks that don't fit with anything else, that don't fit into an existing genre, playful one-off experiments... This Is Not A Coded Message was road-tested extensively in clubs pre-Corona and comes with a guarantee that it'll do some (respectful) damage. The intro and outro have been carefully tweaked to be as mix-friendly as possible, but this what u might call a proper song...

Impurity - A Hole In The Sky (Aquarian Remix)

"It was then, floating in the passivity of induced consumption, in which it became clear that this functional mechanism of time was but a codified drift. With our particular indifference to an imposed rationality, all semblance of alterity had been lost".

As we take a step back from what we knew as "club" music; Thodén's debut album, This Codified Drift, takes us on an emotional sonic journey through ambient experimentation and refined electronic sound design.
