After a string of high hitting releases, New Delhi based Producer/DJ Stain returns to end the year with another deadly collaboration. This time a heavy percussive link up with the Darbuka maestro DJ Plead titled, Rent Request. The track intricately conjoins the Subcontinental polyrhythms with those of the Levant in a series of subterranean tunnel stretches flowing with waves of hard drums, rattling percs, chesty subs and haunting vocals.

A Fascinating Skeleton

SSSLIP self releases a three track EP rooted in experimental Bass music. Off kilter, bouncy drums are paired with deep moving pads and glitchy samples which make for an intriguing, moody release destined to soundtrack dark basements and bus rides home all over.

PREMIERE: SSSLIP - 16BR [SSSLIP01]

After debuting on 3024 in July 2021 with "I See Faces in the Trees" on the label's first Artist Mentorship Compilation, we are very proud to present Talik's Firefly EP. 

On this record, the London-based producer explores and experiments with the twitchy, flickering movements of animals of the night, their behaviors perhaps analogous to our own in dark and loud rooms surrounded by strangers- alone but together.  Through four beautiful tracks we are shown a more energetic side of Talik's music, layered with the moods of her earlier work for Intercept, Pressure Dome and Control Freak.

Enjoy!

Talik - Snake (3024-TAL1)

Support from Bicep, Jay Carder, Azamat B, Orson & Loefah

Long time friend, affiliate and musical chameleon @HugoMassien debuts Outer Reach on KAIZEN. An expansive 3-tracker, combining big room breaks and bass with emotional house and wobbly 2step.

Boasting an impressive back-catalogue on XL, Tectonic and some of the biggest labels on the UK club circuit, we're super chuffed to be welcoming Hugo to the KAIZEN family.

Since shelling down KAIZEN KLUB 5 years ago at our early ‘Bussey Building’ raves, playing a stack of unreleased heaters that tore up the dancefloor, this alliance has been a longtime coming.

A1. Inexplicable
Euphoric textures and hypnotic female vocals ride a rolling 4x4 house beat. Lined with ethereal tones and an ambient interlude that crescendos into a restorative climax, this uplifting and transcendental exploration into the mind, body and soul, harnesses Massien’s ability to float between genres and realms.

A2. Outer Reach
A ‘hands-in-the-air’, feel-good breakbeat banger built for the Ravers. In a move reminiscent to some of Bicep’s biggest anthems, crackling with energy and old-skool jungle breaks that ride along warbling synths and chopped-up vocals, this explosive 130 club tool blends the rave with the ambient. A hybrid we’ve come to know and love in true Massien-fashion.

B1. Shimmer
Stripped back but chunked to the max, this 2-step wobbler thrives in the subs. Dark and dubby with a heavy and wonky bassline that shimmers throughout, this hefty B-Side is an assassin of its own. The musical equivalent of a British Bulldog looking you in the eye while salivating over a giant bone, it’s a sound tailor-made for dark spaces and big room moments.

Artist: @simon-off
Titile: joyful discontent
Label: guides
Release date: 17.11.2023
Format: digital / cassette (edition of 50)

Simon Hafner aka Sun People is well known to fans of fast tempos, having released music on labels such as @exitrecords @rua_sound and @through_these_eyes. Hafner presents a wide range of music and guest mixes on his monthly Sub FM radio show and is also releasing music and doing A&R for the label @defrostatica.

His latest cassette on the Guides label, titled Joyful Discontent, is a tribute to minimalism, referencing the works of Frank Bretschneider and Mark Fell. The starting point for this release was a JMT VDR-1 drum synthesizer, characterised by its intuitive aspects, its limited sonic capacities and the challenge to stretch the machine's possibilities. This one instrument informs the structure of the album, fixed in tempo, track and total length. Reducing his tools to a bare minimum, Hafner explicitly refers to specific genre traditions inherent in this radical form. Structurally and sonically, the spirit of clicks & cuts (e.g., Komet’s ‘Rausch’) can be heard, as well as influences from dub, ambient and minimalist drum&bass and footwork.

In his thinking, however, Hafner goes further. The idea of interlocking all the pieces, complementing the overall grid of constraints, provides the frame for a playful exploration. The result was also fuelled by intuitiveaction, such as when a single gesture and decision changes the direction of a process that takes place in real time. When composing, despite the track’s live act structure, he produced recordings that could function as parts of a jigsaw puzzle that can berearranged freely in any order, thus opening the way for a reinterpretation of the whole. This is also why the album will be available in two versions, both as a mix of combined tracks, and as eight individual pieces that make up the whole.

Despite so many formal constraints, Joyful Discontent still sounds accessible. The pieces produced by Hafner move in the direction of Mark Fell’s compositional approaches, where music is devoid of evoking emotion, rather, aiming for a neutral and non-imposing environment for the listener. 

(with the kind support of the city of Graz)

This release is also available on the artist's bandcamp page. If you want to support him directly, I encourage you to do so.
