"It’s an unnerving world where familiar club sounds are smudged out of shape, each track a surrealist sculpture as much as a cyber-jungle rhythm." (https://soundcloud.com/thequietus) 

"Wax is precise in its sound design, fluid in structure and confidently able to add a fresh sound to UK Bass and dance music in general." (https://soundcloud.com/ma3azef) 

"Meticulously crafted while sustaining knife-edge atmospheric tension throughout, crystalline sound design succumbs to the overdriven maelstrom time and again." (https://soundcloud.com/if-only-uk) 

On Wax (GEN049), https://soundcloud.com/klahrk & https://soundcloud.com/kavarimusic pair up to present a basket of hammering, blasting club tracks with a focus on radical digital sound manipulations. The duo presents a sound design show-off consisting of raspy stretch algorithm artifacts, vocoded pulses and slimy granular flurries. Rhythmically, high impact overdriven kicks and syncopated motifs give the tracks a high energy urgency and momentum. Simmering, crusty chopped up break beats accompany stroboscopic pads, glistening metallic percussion and sweeping electro-acoustic gestures. Maneuvering naturally between almost snapping, bursting, fragmenting passages, effervescent glistening chords sometimes emerge, ready to get whacked by mangled, contorted drum machine outbursts.

Named after the anchoring root system of seaweeds, Holdfast is the debut EP from artists Stolen Velour, FLOCO & Aria SL. Enmeshing their love of synthetic and analogue technologies with the beauty inherent in transformation, the record pulls listeners into an eerie sonic landscape where digital aesthetics meet acoustic instrumentation, experimentalism and classical sensibilities. Released on Illegal Data—the Bristol-based label helmed by Mun Sing & NE$$, the EP fuses club, folk and pop influences with nods to anime and musical theatre, crafting a sound as unpredictable and chaotic as the label it lands on. Forming a bond through DJing at house parties in South East London, the three collaborators created Holdfast, a work that conveys their shared voice amidst the fluctuations of city life as young adults. The four tracks foreground narrative leitmotifs to chronicle a departure from naivety and innocence into a darker, more complex world. The introspective EP weaves together the trio’s personal histories to form a collective story, marking a departure from their previous work to unveil new realms of creative expression.

Stolen Velour, FLOCO & Aria SL - Holdfast EP
ID010
Released 11th April 2025

1. Estuary
2. Long Way Round
3. I live, I let go 
4. Lilium 


Balancing analogue & acoustic soundworlds with digital and synthetic aesthetics, Stolen Velour, FLOCO & Aria SL first began working on the EP back in 2022. They debuted their lead single ‘Lilium’, a cover of the main theme to anime ‘Elfen Lied’ which is written in Latin, at Loughborough Junction’s Spanners alongside a lineup including Petal Supply, Himera, Iglooghost & Umru. Some months after, they continued to perform iterations of the track amongst other music at varied spots like The White Hotel & Laylow, which informed their approach to music as three collaborators. They eventually completed ‘Long Way Round’ over the summer of 2023 via several sessions across London & Leeds. In a sudden burst of creativity, they completed the final two tracks a year later, forming a fully-fledged EP spanning contemporary classical, folk, pop, experimental electronic and more. Using extended classical and experimental techniques within a pop music context, the EP foregrounds narrative leitmotifs to chronicle a departure from naivety and innocence into a darker, more complex world. With all three artists coming from their own corners of the music world, their EP ‘Holdfast’, named after the anchoring root system of seaweeds, enmeshes their love of synthetic & analogue technologies with the beauty inherent in periods of personal transformation.

Taken from SBKT066: Prettybwoy - Tokyo Ice Age
Release date: 5th February 2025

Our first release for 2025 is ‘Tokyo Ice Age’, a new EP from Prettybwoy. 5 warped club tracks, packaged with remixes from aya and Proc Fiskal, artwork by Downstate and mastered by Raphael Valensi.

‘An ice age is a cycle of roughly 100,000 years that Earth has been undergoing for at least the past million years. I’ve been reflecting on these cycles and the way life resets or disappears over time. When my grandmother passed away, I found old photographs and handwritten documents—faded pieces of history that offered me a brief glimpse into my family’s past. Ways of living, even since my own birth, are changing rapidly, and many things are being lost or disappearing forever.

The term "Ice Age" also refers to Japan’s Employment Ice Age, a period between the mid-90s and early 2000s, following the collapse of the country's 'Bubble Economy.' During this time, many young graduates and displaced workers struggled to find stable employment. The generation impacted by this era, known as the "Lost Decades," is often referred to as the ‘Lost Generation’ or ‘Ice Age Generation.’ I belong to this generation.’
