Dirty Riddim 87(soundbyte)

After releasing two EPs from rising talent MOY, Batrachian’s journey through mystical synths, breakbeat and electro rhythms, and ear-worm melodies continues in the capable hands of Bristol-based Jack Wiles.
On Wiles’ debut EP, ’Too Real Eyez’ is a slow-burning spiral of acidic frequencies and tough breaks with a killer vocal snippet, while ‘Bientam’ is a rolling junglist piece driven by chopped drums, meandering bass and an intricate bell melody: the perfect mix of rhythmic heft and IDM intrigue. ‘Slowrush’ matches offbeat electro drums with a bittersweet synth part, and finally, Wiles remixes MOY’s ‘Echolab’ (recently released on the EMOTEC label) into an early Warp-style acidic masterpiece.

Wiles 'Slowrush' EP

It started, as it so often does, with two old friends hanging out. 

John Shima and C P Smith were joking around one evening in their home city of Sheffield. At some point, Smith challenged Shima that, if the latter could produce a record using nothing more than a small modular synth setup, then Smith would release it on his Central Processing Unit label. As heads will know, while Shima has drops on imprints like FireScope and Subwax Excursions to his name, he had never previously released anything via CPU. Shima accepted, and thus we now have his CPU debut, the four-track EP CPU Modular 1.

The specific setup that Shima worked with for these tracks was Smith’s Doepfer A-100P6 Suitcase, a small but mighty combination of modules and programmers. It’s no surprise that Shima was able to familiarise himself with the equipment in double-quick time - after all, Shima was an early adopter of the Eurorack modular format back in the day. What emerged from the CPU Modular 1 sessions was a quartet of devastatingly effective DJ tools, mid-set rollers which will get the dance moving something crazy.

Opener ‘003’ kicks the EP off as it means to go on. There’s something at once stiff-necked and buoyant about the rhythms here, all thwacking Roland tones and snares which crack like someone whipping a length of sheet metal. While the beat barrels unyieldingly onwards, the programming in the tuned modulars is more exploratory and even trippy, full of delay-laced bleeps and flighty rhythmic motifs. It comes together for a cracking mix in the vein of artists like Jerome Hill and London Modular Alliance. Second A-side cut ‘010’ is no different, the street-beat groove and grumbling low-ends underpinning all manner of modular wizardry.

CPU Modular 1 is really timeless stuff, a set of percussion-heavy, future-focussed beats which recalls Smith’s own CPU drop ‘DJ Tools Vol.1 - 808 Tracks’. ‘011’ kicks of CPU Modular 1’s second-half with a dose of Drexciyan dystopia, playing an atonal loop off of an insistent bass wiggle and neurotic hi-hats. Even when Shima tightens or slackens the modulars here, ‘011’ remains unyielding, a dose of pure ‘Wip3out’ energy that you could happily groove to all day long. The EP closes out with ‘005’, a gnarled, gurgling production which still retains the dancefloor punch of the rest of the record.

For his Central Processing Unit debut, John Shima was tasked to produce four tracks using a single small modular setup. Unsurprisingly given the pedigree of this seasoned machine-funk pro, Shima aced the assignment.

Damián Schwartz makes a welcome return to Pulp for his third full-length album, La Sal De Tu Especie. The 11 track record was written over the last three years as a way of coping with some tough experiences and features remixes from K15 and Gifted & Blessed. It once again finds the Madrid producer serving up the sort of richly musical house that has always stood him apart. @damianschwartz @saftmusik

PREMIERE: Damián Schwartz - La Elipa [Pulp]

In his world, slow and steady always won the race. He had no desire to charge ahead, he always lost his footing and ended up trailing. Sometimes this was to the annoyance of others, he moved at his own speed and that's just how things were - no amount of pushing or rushing him would change that. This way of operating was to his detriment though, he couldn't expect others to live life at a snails pace otherwise he'd be left behind... 

What was originally intended as a one off compilation to celebrate five years of Rhythm Section's label arm, has now become a flagship series that spotlights stalwarts and emerging talent from around the world. SHOUTS returns for instalment number three, a whopping 29 track release that touches on all the musical cornerstones of the Peckham-based label and party series.

For this one the project has transitioned into a digital only release, which will allow them to shout about more new artists than ever before. This time they make pitstops all over, taking in everything from jazzy hip hop via Berlin's JuJu Rogers to percussive rhythms from DC's James Bangura and bright progressive house from London-based producer Manami, among so many others...

PREMIERE: GNORK - snailshellfractal [Rhythm Section International]

Affekt Unit is the collaboration by Philoxenia Records founders Luigi Di Venere and Neu Verboten, charged by the mission to spark new feelings on the dancefloor. Discorgy celebrates their musical obsessions, which are rooted in Italo house, Frankfurt EBM-house and trance. The result is an electrifying crossover of these classic genres, spliced with surprising new sounds born of the moment.
In A1 Oct-Opus, progressive trance intermingles with UK bass, techno and transcendental rave sounds to produce an immersive cinematic experience, like wandering through a film noir in cyberspace. The B side plays with piano house. The title track Discorgy draws from Euro dance and EBM, experimenting with a polyrhythmic bass line. The closing track Dreams Of Wrestlers is cosmic house at its sweetest and beefiest.

For the first record of the new decade Outer Zone welcomes Modus’ triumphant return for this second part of his “Triple M” sequence.

Standing in direct contrast to the stasis much of modern life has been held in, this EP offers up an opportunity to vicariously enjoy a world, where the futuristic vistas that techno promised at its genesis seem present. Machinic cycles, looping escapism and understated funk are the axes in which this space is rendered, a space that for a moment allows us some respite from stillness.
