Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

@syzuk self-released his Mindforms mini-LP in 2020, stepping away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one'.

The original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes. @tammohesselink brings deep, European techno flavours to the slate.

Don't Get No Sun

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#085 📢 Kincaid - Don't get no sun [Redstone Press]

3024 are very proud to present a new EP by Mexico City based luminary Tristan Arp.

'End of a Line or Part of a Circle?' hints at timelines, lifecycles, and the shifting perspectives that come with zooming out from a human lens. The insect club universe of “Panspecies Rights” imagines the sound of every life form rising up in protest, while the title track as well as “Branching Streams” outline a snaking labyrinth of musical paths and plot twists.

A club-not-club hybrid of dance-floor freakouts and downtempo zones, the EP shows Tristan Arp’s range as a producer, as encouraged by Martyn throughout the making of the record. While “A Livable Earth” sits somewhere between wide-eyed fantasy and precarious reality, “The Language Change,” imagines a new language for non-human collaboration.

Tristan Arp is co-founder of the Human Pitch collective alongside Simisea, formed while living in New York before moving to Mexico City in 2019. He is also a frequent collaborator with Kellen303 (for unknown untitled), Nico for Grid and as a member of the group Asa Tone (on Leaving Records).

Enjoy!

Get your tickets for the Murky Forest national train, Christian Coiffure is back on Comic Sans Records with "Lookbook 2021-2023", an 8-track album meticulously crafted over the span of late summer 2021 to May 2023.

Bandcamp-connoisseur with an endless curiosity, Christian Coiffure rigorously collect deep club music from all around the world, making mind games sonorities his favorite playground. Rooted in dub aesthetics, "Lookbook 2021 - 2023" artfully weaves together sonic elements from minimalistic IDM, dubstep, abstract techno, and trancy tech-house, drawing inspiration from Coiffure's UK and aussie club music influences, intertwined with his appetite for experimental and deep electronic music.

The album seamlessly bridges two distinct worlds within the Rennes-based artist universe, offering tracks that cater to both the club environment and introspective listening. Standout compositions such as "Meet Her Stage 2," "9th Mind (Space Version)," and "Truth Gate" pulsate with an infectious energy, tailor-made for the dancefloor. Simultaneously, tracks like "Thorns of Reminder" and "Action (Chaos Mix)" invite listeners on introspective journeys, where atmospheric textures and intricate melodies create a foggy sonic sanctuary.

"Lookbook 2021-2023" serves as a testament to Coiffure's artistic vision and versatility, skillfully fusing diverse genres and moods into a cohesive and immersive musical experience. It's a reflection of his ability to navigate between the exhilarating realms of the club and the introspective depths of personal exploration, resulting in an album that resonates with both the body and the mind.

Plebeian returns to the Eternal Ocean, continuing his exploration of psycho-cerebral realms with a collection of six sonic spells titled “Graffiti World”

“Splashes of color accent immersive and introspective environments full of unexpected aural organisms and secret passageways. Playful rhythms bounce off of one another, discreetly stuttering and slithering between carefully considered spectral and pointillistic textures. An enveloping bass weight massages the listener, providing the foundation to an alien world full of unknown life. The landscape is shrouded in a mist of psychedelic fog, which clears in brief moments revealing shimmering and resplendent views that defy language. Coming down from the heights, we are taken back into the depths of this new terrain, grappling with how to describe what was experienced. Words do little justice here – my advice is to close your eyes, focus on your breath and allow it to happen. It won’t last forever: be as present as you
