PREORDER LTD ED 01/30 numbered, with silkscreened PVC designed by Gomito: https://discoscapablanca.bandcamp.com/merch/scott-young-ket-city-ltd-ed-12

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.

Bandcamp - https://pressuredome.bandcamp.com/album/pd002
Distro - https://www.unearthedsounds.co.uk/collections/pressure-dome/products/joe-craven-human-resources-pd002

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.

BAKK015 | SFV Acid – ResedaVill [12inch]

Vinyl: clone.nl/item59047.html
Digital: https://bakk.bandcamp.com/album/resedavill

As winter strikes, the summery SFV Acid reappears fully-fledged with some sluggish San Fernando Valley funk and his signature acidic aesthetics. Mostly slow-burning tracks that meander the boulevards, twitchy due the right dose of acid and vocal jabs scattered across. It's always summer in the valley.

A2 — Always (LA Hardcrew Mix)
B1 — 405 Mary
B2 — Jasons II

Plafond 6 — Cucina Povera & Haron (LP)

Vinyl/digital: bakk.bandcamp.com/album/plafond-6
Vinyl/distribution (Clone): https://clone.nl/item59834.html

A	Cucina Povera & Haron — Riffittelyä (21:43)
B1	Haron — Maandag, Spiegeldag (6:47)
B2	Cucina Povera — Ajatus (9:26)

Plafond enters its second decade with Cucina Povera and Haron fusing the folkloric and futurist. Maria Rossi and Haron Aumaj (real names) honour musical cinematism on ‘Riffittelyä’, which slowly unfolds during a twenty-two minute trail of exploration, angst and redemption. Meddling voices pinch through an aural mist, Kubrickesque strings impend and cathedral organs relevate. Most striking is the compatibility of Rossi’s tangibility and Aumaj’s computerisation, seamlessly forming a renewed dynamic, as granular as it is loose in texture.

During this unique first collaboration it can be quickly forgotten both artists have highly distinctive styles. We are reminded of these singularities on the other half of the record, featuring two solo works, both rich yet contrasting in their colour and emotion. On ‘Maandag, Spiegeldag’, Aumaj sketches in orange chromatics, a featherweight composition that feels far away from the greyscale fragility that Rossi portrays on ‘Ajatus’. Showcasing two minimalist artists catapulted by their stunning debut albums, this sixth Plafond keeps the listener in constant awe, pointing us to the endless potential of spontaneity.

Comes in Pantone printed outer sleeve with deep red and yellow topped with a silk screened black and a soft pink inner sleeve, wrapped in a dreamy blue Obi-strip printed with white and black, by the BAKK Fuzz Factory.
