Banlieue enters 2022 with a bang courtesy of Mortimer Dubaton’s Athens VS Predator EP. Behind this monicker is Louis De La Gorce, an Athens-based French producer, notorious for his duo The Pilotwings and his solo project Eiger Drums Propaganda.

De La Gorce’s well-documented jocularity seeps through this release, right from its title to the track names and actual productions. This idea is approached through another angle with NEED FOR SPEED, a tune where car-related sounds are brilliantly used by the producer. Layering samples and building a tribal groove sprinkled with chopped up breaks, thick low-end bass, and a zest of vocal samples, this mutant track fit for a car chase in the eponymous video game finds its influence in modern hip hop vibes, but the spirit of rave music is never too far. The result is playful, forwarding thinking bass music that will elicit a response from listeners and dancers without fail.parallels with hard drum purveyors.

Granul - Aksayan (Hassan Abou Alam Remix)[YUKU]

Another project file lost in the digital ocean. This one is a long-form, psychosomatic, pulsating journey into introspective, rolling rhythm. Heads down for this one.

A Thousand Unfocused Eyes

Fa:act - Rolling like beez bzzz

Originally meant to be a remix, this track was never released and the project file is lost like so many others, so it joins the forgotten archive. Suitable for the colder months of North Earth this time of year.

Chunky, aggressive, oddly forward thinking for where I was at musically at the time. Listening to this track makes me realise how this style was kind of a turning point for me and the sound I was trying to make.

Music With A Massage LP

Umay affiliates Sina XX unveils first album - Music With A Massage. Packed with SWANA  energies, the LP explores all kinds of tribal influenced techno, from the more experimental side - think of opening track Landing In Baghdad based on Arabic chants and sword sounds carefully sound designed - to more peak time energy with Minimal Action or A Strangers Smile.

The albums title - a playful nod to hip hops expression music with a message - questions technos ability to carry a message in a context of hyper commercialisation of its values. With this first LP, Sina XX cements his place as a producer who bridges cultures and people.

1 Sina XX - Landing In Baghdad

https://concretecabin.bandcamp.com/album/hamilton-scalpel

Covert transmission from the outskirts of Neurealm… two dark strangers operating from below the ash clouds with x4 chest rattling bass-scapes cut through with quickened breakbeat science. PSYWAR vets tryna get the hell outta hell. The tomb of “El Magnifico” is stalked by the spectre of OIR15A02aTC0008.
