CCL - Drum On

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

Yas Reven takes charge of the next release on Nerve Collect with her Sudden Mist EP. It features five tracks of avant-garde club music and comes with a 3Phaz remix.

Italian-born innovator Yas Reven is based in Milan and has a love of architecture that inspires how she structures her sophisticated sounds. As a dynamic DJ, she traverses a full spectrum from techno and bass music to breakbeat and has recently put out her first productions on Bristol-based label Hardline. After that EP turned plenty of heads, she now backs it up with more thrilling and hard-to-define club cuts.

The EP opens up with 'Sudden Mist', Reven's knack for expert percussive designs shines through as tin pot hits, splintered wood and metal throngs all pepper a loopy techno rhythm. It's intense yet serene, physical yet meditative. 'Etoy' keeps the pressure on with more intriguing sound designs, thumping bass and lurching techno loops that never stop evolving and keep you utterly locked in. 'Mad Drop' is a futuristic blend of whirring loops and twanging synth sounds over hammering broken beats that lead to dance floor takeoff.

'Trapped' is another collision of unusual percussion layered over tightly stacked beats with a ritualistic and tribal edge...  more

Hard hitting breaks meet warped acid lines and sharp rave stabs. Floaty, experimental touches cut through the weight — raw and driving.
