End of Line

French II & Bastian Benjamin - Hive

After over a year since his debut as a producer, we are proud to present "Limerence," the second album by the Mancunian artist Lucas SM. "Limerence" is more than an album; it's an emotional state that shines in a whirlwind between worlds and genres. Comprising three tracks, each one is a distinct chapter in an emotional journey, whether it be a feeling of euphoria or introspection.

Portraying Lucas SM's distinctive ambient influence, smooth pads, shimmering keys, and a massive soundscape effortlessly evoke a profound connection between the music and the listener. While not forsaking the essential elements of the UK's club sound, the drums and basslines slice through the mix like headlights piercing through the mist.

Through a fusion of the UK and Spanish electronic music scenes, alongside the harmonious blending of ambient and club music elements, this EP delivers three exceptional remixes from industry legends. Galician producer Andrae Durden contributes a trance-infused, gated version of "Lucent," while Bristolian Pluralist treats us with an euphoric, ever-ascending remix of "Within Touching Distance." Last but not least, Brighton-to-Bristol, now London-based Syz delivers a rhythmic and percussive banger version of "Within Touching Distance."

"Within Touching Distance," the album's first single, is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp and for streaming on all platforms. The full release of "Limerence" will be on November 29th.

Lucas SM - Within Touching Distance (Syz Drumzmix)

Dubrunner continues to shape out a vital, modernist slant on the soundsystem tradition with this second drop on his label Menace. In keeping with the approach set out on 2023’s Ruthless EP, his firm foundation of steppas, dub and digi is a springboard for explorations of broader club styles, taking in elements of breakbeat hardcore, techno and plenty more besides.

Fallen Tree builds on the promise of his debut with four further meditations. Lead single ‘Shangdao’s Revenge’ is a monolithic, moody half-stepper electrified with dub techno chord shimmers and elastic breakbeats, and spaced out with deep wells of atmospheric processing.

‘Fallen Tree’ locks into a tight 4/4 march driven by detailed percussion, with a classic steppas bassline, off-beat chord chops and distant melodica touches paying tribute to hugely influential UK steppas pioneers Alpha & Omega and their apocalyptic cut ‘Ground Is Shaking Dub’. The presence of log drums remind you Dubrunner is bringing his own fusions to the table, drawing on the amapiano explosion as fuel for this hybridised fire.

‘Overruled’ strikes a more forthright, political tone, as Dubrunner foregrounds his values in a fierce statement against the oppressive systems of state control, capitalism and racism. The vocal samples come from Sankara Future Dub Resurgence, whose focus is on Africa’s defiance of its colonial history. The taut, high-definition construction around the message takes its cues from the explosive sonics heard at Darwin’s bassweight REEF sessions in Berlin.

The breakstep lead-in on ‘Pressure’ tells you to prepare for a drum-focused workout, and that’s precisely the approach Dubrunner takes as he chops up the percussion and maintains a light-footed impact in contrast to the broad, cinematic heft of the other tracks on the EP. It’s a potent demonstration of the versatility in the Dubrunner sound, while still maintaining that grounded sense of soundsystem meditation which courses through everything he turns out.

COP ENVY - CRY002
OUT AUGUST 2018
Global distribution via Rubadub.

Sydney via Melbourne-sider Cop Envy brings forth two heartbursting, patient and effective tools to mark the return of the Cry Baby imprint - long silent after their debut exploration with Dan White.

The anachoic, blistering tones of Balanced push the vinyl medium to it's absolute limits with Heavy, HEAVY bass and incredulously well produced embellishments making this a DJ tool for the year 3000. 

Leisure laces the flip with something a little closer to the present day no thanks to  barely melodic musical structures peeling away to reveal the rhythmic intricacies and soul rattling subsonics that roll effortlessly through to the bitter end. REWIND.
