Atlanta resident Nikki Nair invites you to join his new 4 track EP on Astrophonica - 'Renormalization Support Group'. It's a place where we can share our experiences via the help of Nikki's special 'not quite sure what you call it' bass lead Electro Breakbeat programme.

Track one is 'Plug' - An uptempo low slung booty shaker which will have sound engineers scrambling at cables and faders trying to work out wtf is going on. We've all been there so let's talk about it. 

Track two is 'Where Are U' and encourages us to ask ourselves that question through the exploration of full speed Breakbeat Electro. If we know where we are, we can begin to look into where we are going. Probably the dance floor.

Track three is 'it's NP-Complicated' which sets out an uncomplicated blend of bubbling bass and simple sympathetic drums, providing us with a network to feel more empowered and to build a sense of community. 

Track four is 'Donut Time' - Well done for finishing the course! You can congratulate yourself with a donut full of squelchy acid jam, glazed with frosted pads and hi hat sprinkles.

“Together we can help ourselves be alone together.” - Nikki Nair

For our second release in the series of singles and EPs, @thematicspb & @oddkut have joined forces to bring a "Minimal Grind" EP. Equally split into two solo and two collaborative productions, this four-tracker once again proves Oddkut's and Thematic's mastery in both fields, with sonics ranging from pretty stripped minimalistic dubstep to skippy percussive-driven leftfield bass.

Berlin label Through These Eyes are back with another top quality limited run vinyl release with young producer Yoofee at the controls. Treading in the footsteps of experimental luminaries like Sam Binga and Om Unit, this one combines retro jungle influences with a healthy dollop of grime for a fantastic fusion of new and old. Serious riddim! Watch out for this coming Oct 26th via the TTE Bandcamp...

Astrophonica maintain pace in 2020 as Philip D Kick returns to the label with the 6 track “As We Continue”. Following 2018’s “Pathways” Jim Coles aka Om Unit aka Philip D Kick adds some shine and sparkle to his already near perfect and persistent formula. Coles remains dedicated to blurring the lines and joining the dots. As we continue . . .

‘Drips’ sets the pace and opens the flood gates with a flowing groove and lingering bass womps like condensation off a low ceiling. ‘160909313’ steamrolls through with a constant Turbo drum machine drive accelerated by a non stop rolling bass riff. The doors are well and truly blown off in ‘Funk 160’ as a planet rocking breakbeat and infectious chord stabs set the pace with confidence and class. Balmy pads caress a lazy groove in ‘Summer Moods’ and conjure feelings of long evenings and ever lasting sunsets. The Riviera is all bit crushed pads and elite level breakbeat science while you enjoy the passing vistas. ’Clouds’ brings this episode to a close with a smooth glide through the stratosphere and beyond with 4/4 kicks and luscious bass arp.

'This record for me reflects the ongoing conversation between cultures and styles where jungle meets footwork meets techno, 3 cultures that share more in common than perhaps people realise, and for me this is more of a in-depth exploration for example of sonic tropes more prevalent in the world of detroit techno than other previous records. 'Clouds' and '160909313' for example being somewhat of an homage to Detroit, the birthplace of techno, yet another black music that changed the world.' - Philip D Kick / Om Unit
