Biorhythms w/ Cat - June 2023

Ninja Tune's Counter imprint meets Modeselektor's Monkeytown to release RY X and Frank Wiedemann aka Âme, remixed by Matt “Radio Slave” Edwards and Thomas “Cagedbaby” Gandey (the latter two also now known as Matom for their more Kosmische output), on an 11 minute deep'n'meaningful dark-club epic? It's such a big-name pile-up, it was always going to either be lowest common denominator or highest common factor; thankfully, though, it really has given us the best from all involved. This is one of those magic tunes where you keep thinking nothing's happening, then suddenly you realise it's risen up around you to become all-enveloping, and before you know it you're compelled to take it from the top... and not just once either. This needs a health warning, it's so addictive.

Howling "Signs (Radioslave & Thomas Gandey Remix)" - Boiler Room Debuts

Rafa Calello @Rio Electronic Music w Franky Rizardo

In an age of innumerable bedroom producers and DIY beatmakers, encountering one with a distinctive flavour to their music is becoming near impossible. This is refreshingly not the case, however, for Deft (aka Yip Wong). Having already manned several flagship labels of dance music such as WotNot, Brownswood, Hypercolour and Project Mooncircle (who billed Deft for their 2013 BR session), Deft draws musical, technical and stylistic influence from anything and everything in his musical creations. Initially a drummer, he now produces music which audibly tips its hat to hip hop, footwork, house, jungle and beyond. Check his 2014 "Emeralds" track for what we believe to be the ultimate embodiment of all of Deft's different musical pedigrees.

His latest venture on 20/20 LDN Recordings, the Blackest EP, takes a step back from the forward-propelling, Machinedrum-esque footwork drum rhythms that are prevalent in plenty of Deft's previous work. Here, the focus is on the deeper and darker. "After hearing what [label founders] Ivy Lab had in mind for 20/20, it instantly brought me back to the early beats scene," says Deft. "The beats scene was something that got me excited back when it emerged properly. I felt that excitement again with 20/20." Each of Blackest's five tracks stand out for varying reasons, but it's the penultimate one – a Tehbis and Touchy Subject collaboration – that has resonated with us beyond comparison. A track that seems to continually metamorphose within its 3.5 minute timeframe, so many musical territories are broached that it's pretty impossible to summarise. Initially luring you in through an ethereal world of crystallised synth fragments, the forecast slowly grows murkier, as the entire tracks gets sucked into dizzying whirlwind of dubby drums and electric static. A notable comeback from a truly talented beatsmith.

Blackest EP will be available both digitally and on vinyl on 8th April via 20/20 LDN Recordings and all good record stores.
