There were strange noises which echoed upon the breeze - delicate sounds which took him back to a time long ago when life was peaceful and less chaotic. He tried to listen to each one, picking out the instrumentation which made each sound remarkable and alluring. As the night fell he became enchanted by them all, laying amidst the long tall grass he dreamt and pondered of another life. One in less disarray...

Cabasa is set to appear on the first EP from the newly launched imprint, nacht.

Ronan "Waking Dreams"

Rich Daddies offer their first EP on Naarm/Melbourne-based Best Effort Records. The Get Close EP is the debut disc by the anonymous Australian housemates made during one of the longest lockdowns in the world.

Over the course of four tracks, the duo draws influences from UKG and bass music with parallels to fellow Australian producers Logic1000 and DJ Plead.

Dance music to help us remember how to dance, how to hug, how to fall in love. Essential party disc!

Rich Daddies - Come & Get It

How did he get home in one piece? He deserved a medal for doing so - or perhaps he had a guardian angel who'd put him in a taxi and shipped him home. A huge chunk of the night had been erased from his memory, only fragments of rambling conversations and blurred faces remained. Thankfully any embarrassing scenes had been discarded, not that that didn't mean they'd taken place. Only time would tell if he'd tarnished his reputation last night...

Baroque Sunburst boss Soreab takes a break from running his label to make his debut on Accidental Meetings. Marking the imprint's first release of the year, Perspectives is a multi-faceted set of tracks that demonstrate his ability to work with contrasting styles, moods and tempos. Three of the tracks are purpose-made for the club but all cut from a different cloth; there's deviant dembow rhythms, heavy broken club music and a dubwise roller, all tied up with the hypnotic droning sounds of the closing track.

Momentum

Termite Tavern is something that was abandoned that originally led to Bee Stings. It didn’t fit with anything before but after making Slow Stings, it had come full circle back down to 100-105 bpm territory.

For the 40th release on All Centre, label co-head Simkin provides three new cuts on his second record of the year, Entity.

Beatless ambient opener Sinks In eases us in with whirring field recordings, glitched choral vocals and sublime pads, immediately setting the atmosphere for the record. Throughout, later elements of the EP are teased amongst disorentating sound design and soaring chords.

The end of the track leads directly into low-tempo stormer Entity. Alien-sounding vocals give way to a heavy, low-slung drum pattern before a dubbed-out transition introduces the track’s bone-rattling bassline. Later, the arrangement eventually breaks back down amongst glitchy arpeggiated synths, before further ramping up the intensity with the reintroduction of booming subs, punctuated by a rising air raid siren.

Finally, Click! lifts the tempo, landing in an upbeat, electro-inspired groove. Short snippets of vocals are teased amongst understated pads before a low, gliding bassline propels us forward. Angelic, autotuned vocals and chopped and rearranged amongst echoing chords and soaring lead synths, the elements weaving amongst each other as the track progresses.

Entity is available across all platforms on the 5th of August.
