Name: E-FAX009 – James Bangura (Snippets) by Art-E-Fax
Duration: 9 min
Description: Coming up next on Art-E-Fax, US artist James Bangura reels off a 6-track EP of breakbeat treats to make your head nod. Don’t be fooled by its more cool-headed cuts: dubby pumpers like “Interpretive Dance” and “Incoherent Response” will have you oiling your rave gears (...or reaching for the phone.)

Wow... some real bangers in there. Killer release!

Es.tereo — Perception (Forest Drive West Remix) [YUKU]

A unwelcome sight greeted him this morning when he woke up. The house seemed quieter than usual, the buzz of the radio wasn't ringing through the house, no smell of coffee filling the air, and the pointed telling offs and rallying of small voices nowhere to be heard. Descending the stairs he noticed things had gone missing; pictures had been pulled off the walls, ornaments taken from the sideboards, but worst of all there was no sign of his family. A sinking feeling hit him like a punch in the gut - deep down he knew they weren't coming back...

On the next release from the Programm camp, and the first from the label this year, producer Rawtrachs draws inspiration from J Dilla samples. Marking his debut single on the London-based imprint, ‘It’s Just a Rinse’ is a pounding lo-fi cut that comes complete with two reworks from Sneaker Social Club affiliate Thugwidow and OfParadise co-founder Fade, who take their remixes in different directions - Thugwidow upping the ante and Fade stripping back the original and adding signature percussive touches.

The artwork for this digital release is the label's first generative cover. Made in a similar way to digital music, alongside artists Matt Heywood and Alfie Allen, Programm have created a new tool to combine human and computer input to create visuals that could only exist together.

Pseudopolis - Frenzied

Pugilist steps up on Trule with a four track EP of sound system club heaters across various styles and BPMs. From the broken UK garage of the title track, the crunching breaks of Untitled with ILK, the dubwise Junglism of Adversity with Tamen, and the techno dancehall variation of Portal. Something for all the dancers.

PNL004 | Inside Hour

June 5th: For Bandcamp day today we will be donating all proceeds made from our compilation album Inside Hour to @blmuk Fund - we will also match all purchases of the album as donations.

We understand more than small one-off gestures is required and that to genuinely be able to address these issues it requires long term structural support of the cause.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All profits to the NHS.

A 10-track compilation featuring 8 artists part of our close circle. The project is diverse throughout and hopes to shine a light through this period of isolation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We've not done a compilation since Ample back in 2017 - that was probably our first major release. Between then and now the idea of doing a compilation hadn't quite pushed Panel to what we wanted it to be. We'd get these incredible tracks in, and try to weave them into wider more considered projects, but this idea of an interconnected compilation never came together. Other projects - Anamnesis, Settle, Reprezent, etc - took priority. Then, just as the pieces for a compilation came together, COVID happened. And with it, a narrative and purpose for Inside Hour was created.

We know the NHS isn't a charity, nor should it be treated as such. Rather than public fundraising be treated as the norm, it should be able to rely on state responsibility. But this situation is incredibly difficult for many people, and we all have friends and family working the frontlines. As everything continues to unfold, we've been extremely lucky to have this project to escape to, allowing us to help keep ourselves and everyone associated creatively occupied. As such, for creating this space that has given us this privilege of escapism, we will be donating all the proceeds from this release to the NHS (and avoid Virgin Giving).

This compilation hopes to be an outlet, a light and an escapism for all of you through this period, just as it has been for all of us. But we also think it signifies the togetherness we hope everyone's been experiencing in recent months.

Keep safe,

E-FAX009 – James Bangura (Snippets)

Tracklisting:
A1. The Driving Rain 
A2. Wolfram 
B1. Elements 
B2. Wolfram (Dub)

Following the release of the spacious Six Rooms EP on his own newly-minted Akita Club label, rhythmic master Nico returns to Midnight Shift to fuse the mind and body.

On this latest missive, he crafts a space inhabited by wayward rhythms, urgent percussion and lead lines that feel like they’re about to cave under the pressure of The Groove. From the rain-brain dance of ‘The Driving Rain’ to the mental massage of ‘Elements’, a neat transition straddling both 104 bpm and 155 bpm, complete with directions for …something.

Four explorations of nonplaces in the fourth world. Experiments in rhythm that come close to falling apart, held together by a backbone of bass.

All tracks written, mixed and produced by Nicolas Guerrero
