Gent1e $oul keeps evolving his dancefloor meta with "Block Printing '', the latest EP on Fast Castle. This DLC consists of 5 stripped down, effective takes on UK Bass, Dubstep, Grime and Baile - excellent for outright late game domination. The vinyl comes in hand-crafted sleeves produced in an ancient woodblock printing method on a manually operated, pre-industrialisation printing press.

Sonically, Gent1e $oul further distills his style by fusing different sonic spheres and bass music styles across “Block Printing''s chapters: Profoundly effective 4-bar grime meets transparent electro breaks on “Heated Shot”, with it’s hi-tek sounds forcing early reactions from the floor. “Siege Ram” is a techno x steppers crossover that packs the punch to keep your opponents stuck in the dark ages forever. “Untitled” channels baile cues into a rigid, progressive club cut, while the B-Side offers a UK Techno meets dembow deepness with “Fortified Walls”. Rounding off the proceedings, Rolex3k makes here exec. producer debut with a feature on “Turtle Ship”, a deeper-than-deep dub stepper.

"Block Printing"’s cover, conceived by Fast Castle’s visual mastermind Jonas, depicts an emblematic circle monograph hinting to prehistoric scenes and ancient legends. Special care went into the production of the DIY-printed record sleeves: Individually crafted on an ancient 1820s mechanical press and printed in a block printing-like technique from a laser cut wood negative, each of the edition-of-200 vinyl copies is a one-of-a-kind artifact to worship and rinse repeatedly.

Very special shout outs to Jonas from 200 Kilo on this one conceiving and realizing our most ambitious artwork project to date. Also, out to Scape Mastering for the sound optimization and RWDFWD and DnP for international distro services!

FC06 - Gent1e $oul - Block Printing (Snippets)

This was a world in which money reigned supreme. One might be able to exchange and buy to the hearts content – for what else was there but for the very status of fancy goods and material things? This was planet market – a world in which life came second to the idea of purchase.

The clouds were thick and moody overhead, reminiscent of the sentiment and world which existed down below. Sellers shouted, hustlers moved fast and those out for a quick steal had to be speedy in the midst of the chaos. There were no rules on planet market – it was simply a battle to the top by any means necessary.

What was the price?

NIQH takes us on a futuristic trip. This latest record on Plasma Sources draws upon influence from science fiction and features a style of world building and ambient construction which is intriguing and highly listenable.

Abnormal is the sound of DJ JM ratcheting it up a notch, both in production-value and musical creativity. The title itself stands as a compact explainer of DJ JM’s constant sonic assignment – Abnormal consolidates years of JM’s work to keep club music weird and unexpected. Retaining the chunky percussion and quick-stepping rhythms he built his name on, the EP also contains intricate, cleverly designed sound-beds, and extends the menacing electro-techno swagger DJ JM began exploring on his previous No Days Off and Squash EPs.

Preferring synths over samples, Abnormal is filled with sudden bursts of psychedelic melody, off-kilter audio-manipulations and bubbling acid-trip basslines. The tracks also have a subtle but distinctly Lithuanian edge, drawing influence from the iterative, morphing patterns of the folk symbols and insignia carved into the remains of ancient settlements near Vilnius.

pi pi pi premiere: DJ JM - Pepper (Nervous Horizon)

Woozy delivers its most ambitious statement yet in WZY3.5; a bumper-packed compilation that features ten talented artists from across the globe who are championed by the label’s founder
EMA for their exhilarating cross sections of dub-futurist club sounds.

MSJY commences the dance, wrapping some deft breaks around a steamy reggaeton shell. Viiaan douses the loose dembow groove with a hypnagogic mood and chuggy bassline. Dåser maps out an itchy labyrinth of percussive electro that relentlessly mutates. Mossambi unfurls a futurist digi stepper brimming with excitable technoid energy. Octoptic indulges late 00’s dark
2-step but updated with remarkably modern sound design. Elpac and Mulholland combine to burn twisted breaks within an all-consuming rave menace. Baitface provides us with a loving
throwback, an unreleased gem from 2012 fit with dub momentum and snappy snares for the headbangerz. Henzo flicks the hood up and gets nasty for a dialed-up skankstep wonder. Soreab opens his third eye with a haunted drumtastic half time chug. soltura sees us out with an icey wub finale of stirring synth-etic emotions amidst a melodic wonderland of sound.

🇫🇷

Émergeant de la florissante scène Strasbourgeoise, Beatrice M. débarque sur Egregore Collective avec son dubstep technoïde comme iel le décrit si bien.

Tout juste après une excellente sortie sur Krakzh et au milieu d’une année qui l’a vu.e lancer son label Bait et être invité.e sur pléthore de line-ups dans tous les coins de la France, Beatrice rejoint le roster avec quatre morceaux délicieusement vaporeux à la production méticuleuseme, explorant les hybridations hypnotiques entre techno et dubstep, sans pour autant se cantonner au fameux 140 bpm.

Et pour une expérience encore plus méditative, Maquis Son Sistèm vous emmène dans le vortex avec un remix tortueux de 9 minutes d’un des titres.


🇬🇧

Emerging from the flourishing Strabourg scene, Beatrice M. is up next on Egregore Collective, providing us with their now trademark hypnotic, techno infused dubstep beats.

Hot off the heels of a splendid release on Krakzh and it the midst of a year that saw them take the french underground scene by storm, launching their label Bait and playing in every corner of France, Beatrice joins the roster with 4 deliciously vaporous, meticulously crafted tracks bridging the gap between techno and dubstep, not sticking to the sempiternal 140 bpm and pushing the spectrum in all directions.

And for more bass meditation, Toulouse’s Maquis Son Sistèm will be taking you down the rabbit hole for a 9 minute brain-twisting remix of one of the tunes.
