The new EP by
Scott Young (Discos Capablanca/ Opal Tapes / Born Free)

Out 14.02.2020 on Discos Capablanca

Hypnotic, scuffed dancefloor movements, dub-dilated drum workouts &
heavy-lidded ambient zones.
Made in Hong Kong before the storm, Manchester and Bristol.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Scott Young’s music traverses a wide sonic palette, encapsulating leftfield dance music, musique concrete, experimental film soundtracks and lush ambient excursions.
Following a noteworthy appearance on Samo DJ’s Born Free imprint, a series of accomplished releases on Discos Capablanca and a mesmeric contribution to the 2019 Opal Tapes compilation ‘Amateur Vampires’, Young returns with his most significant output to date.
Comprised of five tracks that work towards different styles, ‘Ket City’ is intended as an intimate ode to the United Kingdom, and a response to the oppression of algorithmically filtered modernity and the drudgery of work. Diving into hypnotic, artfully fractured dancefloor movements, dub-dilated drum workouts & heavy-lidded ambient zones, ‘Ket City’ is a diverse prospect that nevertheless reveals the execution of a unique signature.
A cerebral, tranquilised, escapist trip that channels ambiguity and positivity in equal measure, and evokes the influence of Mille Plateaux, Wordsound, Mark Fell and Matt Steel’s SND project as well as contemporary operators like Huerco S and Madteo.

Scott Young - Ket City (snippets, out 02.2020)

Uncompromising Hi-Speed and -Quality on Strictly Strictly’s 5th EP produced by Mathis Ruffing(@mruffing). No less than 6 ultra-fast paced bangers fractured by bustling breakbeat escapades. Opener Speed House Tool perfectly entitles the uncompromising A-Side with pure dashing power throughout. Side B contrasts with the aerial spirit of its three elegantly stitched Electro Traxx. Tangible / Elastic – deploying the future.

Pressure Dome welcome in the new year with their second vinyl direct from the test-bed, a split EP showcasing two rhythmically focused beat-architects; Joe Craven and Human Resources. 

Following a head-turning debut release on Scuffed Recordings, Joe Craven delivers two more imaginatively designed polyrhythmic workouts. Airy, distant pads and delicate percussion roll over driving kicks, giving ‘Hurt Potential’ its detailed futuristic landscape while ‘Dyeus’, with its high tempo distorted breaks, chopped vocals and distant piano riffs takes us to an altogether more abstract space. 

On the flip, Human Resources takes us forward in his own singular style with the thunderous ‘Shaq Stem Edit’, combining cymbal heavy breaks, huge subs and prodigy like bass leads that mutate with club-shattering velocity, and on to ‘At Tanagra’, where pitching leads and sporadic, wonky mid basslines hold a tough, yet mysterious energy and drive. 

Both enter the Dome with their individual technical form, the perfect additions to our collective of phonic explorers.

We are proud to present another debut on Axces Records, this time from label head @Alfred092. The A side kicks off with Mimis, an explorative bass driven track with crisp snares and bubbling synthesizers. Next up is the title track Helfand, whose experimental sounds and textures take things in a mystic IDM like direction. On the B side we Adax_pcp, a hypnotic club cut which further explores complex pulsating outernational rhythms. Finally to seal the deal we have Scalex, a twisted dancehall tune with splashes of futuristic sound design.
