Scruggs & Sonny Jim had ridden long since dealing the final blow to the plantoid behemoth that had first impeded their journey some many months ago. They had left that beast’s lair far behind, and happily so for the stench of commingled acrid sap and gunpowder that filled it once the pair had finished. Astonished by the wonders of this alien land, their journey had lead them through biomes never before seen, in which red rock sandstone bore forth soaring forests filled with idyllic glens and treacherous thickets alike. Through these, they had climbed in an ascent to a high plateau, and it was at this peak that the pair saw a sight unrivaled by any in their journey thus far.

Rising above the forest that continued onwards below was a great stone structure of peaks and turrets, connected by a network of bridges that hung precariously over the ravines and canyons of the mountainside upon which it was built. The building’s spires rose to a height of such impractical grandiosity that the pair wondered what the purpose of such a structure could be or, more than likely, could have been. For all of the stature that it had certainly once commanded, the building was a shell of its former self, a relic of unique hubris worn bare by the selfsame forces that allowed the forest beneath it to thrive. No light shone from its windows and no figures stood atop its balconies, for whatever cataclysm had befallen its creators had driven them from this place long ago. All of these thoughts passed through Scrugg’s mind as he gazed upwards, and to synthesize them he asked a single question of his partner, Sonny Jim.

“Hey, Sonny Jim,”
“Yeah Scruggs?”
“Why the hell would you bother hauling rocks all the way up there?”

With nothing but a grunt and a shrug in response, Sonny Jim spurred his horse onwards, and the two resumed their journey, riding into the shadow cast by the great castle that lay above.

BURR OAK drive the EATBRAIN horde into the shadowed depths of their latest EP, DARK AGE, the latest from the duo, and a follow up to their previous releases Roots of Evil & Hawkeye on the label. Within, the duo unleashes six tracks stacked with aggressive tonalities and futuristic textures that unveil the latest in the sonic tale of these twin bassline masterminds.

After “Seduction Scale” EP on Kosenprod and “Nergal” on Karnage Records, The Clamps is back with "Wisdom & Beliefs" as the third and the last musical introspection celebrating 10 years of The Clamps. A journey into Drum & Bass meanders, blending weird beats, angry bass, melancholy and storytelling with some mechanical and industrial influences. “Under The Saw” is a sad statement about the pains that anxiety can cause, while “Caspura” is an ode to the Corsica Island.“Terror Machine” will bring you in an exciting mechanical routine and lastly “Wisdom & Beliefs” will tell you a story where reality is interfered by myths.

All tracks written, composed and programmed by Julien Carbou.

Surrounded by a city that had long since crumbled were the ruins of a great arena, a construction of wood and stone now far removed from the reach of civilization. Knowledge of its location was limited, for few ventured into the wildlands anymore and even fewer dared brave the horrors that dwelt within the ruins of the old cities such as the one that surrounded the arena. For those strong enough to survive such ventures however, the arena was a place of honor reserved for the solving of disputes of honor through the proving of martial acumen, a venue for duels too dangerous to be conducted any nearer to the bounds of the civilized world.

Thus it was that within these walls two champions of the wildlands now gazed grimly upon each other, each sizing up an opponent that they ready knew far too well for their own liking. One, wreathed in electrical energies, hovered effortlessly above the ground upon a billowing, tempestuous cloud. The other, by contrast clad in simple robes and wielding only a finely crafted sword, shifted with practiced balance between a series of imperceptible stances. Though rivals beyond the arena, each bore the other a certain respect evidenced by the decorum they exhibited before the phantom crowds that hung within the atmosphere of the arena. Then, with naught but a simultaneous nod between them, the pair launched themselves at each other, dispelling the illusory crowd and isolating themselves once more within the confines of an ancient venue that found renewed purpose in their battle.

CURRENT VALUE & SCREAMARTS display their combined sonic prowess across the span of VOLTCOUNT, a collaborative EP that sees the pair of neurofunk titans synthesize their favored styles to create a feverish feast for the Eatbrain horde across the EPs five tracks.

BURR OAK mark a monolithic moment in their sonic journey with the release of their debut album, SOMEWHERE WE BELONG, which stands as the crown jewel of the two member’s careers as solo artists and as a duo alike. Packed with a mammoth 18 tracks that span the full breadth of the Neurofunk genre, SOMEWHERE WE BELONG sees BURR OAK deliver a definitive work set to cement itself well within the history of the genre.

BURR OAK’s own story is mirrored in the stories of their twin cowboy personas, Scruggs and Sonny Jim, whose escapades are expressed throughout the album’s tracklist and the tales that accompany it. Much like these two inseparable wanderers, BURR OAK’s two members, Niko and Julien, began their careers as solo artists before joining together to embark on their shared quest as BURR OAK. Longtime fans of Neurofunk will recognize each by their many other monikers. Niko has produced and performed variously as a member of the French Drum & Bass trio Signs, as half of the duo Cecil Hotel, and under his solo alias Opsen throughout his long career devoted to the pursuit of Drum & Bass’ most technical edge. By contrast, Julien’s journey under his solo alias The Clamps has seen him champion both cinematic soundscapes and the genre’s most extreme fringes, merging beauty and brutality within his music in equal measure. 
If this wasn’t a colorful palette of a career enough, they are also running another project with the also Toulouse based SKS – “Forum” which is also a heavyweight drum and bass project with a jungle/rave/oldschool twist. And to add a cherry on the top Julien runs Third Colony with Yan, an extravagant IDM/downtempo project.

As BURR OAK, these two prolific artists intertwine their sounds in an inexorable musical lattice, presenting a unified sonic profile that is more than the sum of its parts. This stylistic synergy thrives amidst SOMEWHERE WE BELONG, which details the story of BURR OAK both in fiction and as the producers they are today. The album’s title speaks to this, not only for the duo’s cowboy characters but for Niko & Julien as well. Beneath the branches of the BURR OAK, these titans of Neurofunk have truly found somewhere they belong.

Opsen - Consomme [KOSEN 71]

MAD FANGS - SURFACE

Some moments don’t arrive with noise — they reveal themselves quietly, as if they’ve been waiting for the right pair of hands, the right pair of ears.
Kairos was one of those moments for me. A small fracture in time where things aligned without asking for permission or reason.

I made this piece and gifted it to a friend — not as a gesture, but as a way of marking that rare second when timing stops being accidental and becomes alive.

If it speaks to you too, take it.

-"The server operation can begin. In the Xono Bar, Redpill will bring down a nearby cluster of private IONA servers by corrupting the system in the first five minutes...The IONA server maintenance is every 40 minutes, so with good timing the servers will be down long enough to use them for Sain decyphering. We do suspect IONA to send a debug protocol so those 40 minutes are still very risky as its intrusion is still traceable by location, however Xonobar is one of the transaction meeting points where the traffic is dense.

The name Burr Oak should already be very familiar to Trendkill Records’ most ardent followers. The emergent drum and bass supergroup, formed of Toulouse producers Opsen and The Clamps, burst onto the scene last year, striking listeners with their intense, no-holds-barred approach to neurofunk. Drawing on their ever-innovative sound design skills and prolific work rate, the two Frenchmen crafted a whopping four releases for the Prolix-helmed label last year and have since guested on Eatbrain and Cause4Concern in 2020. Now celebrating a homecoming of sorts, October finds the pair returning to Trendkill for the Polar Lows EP, which features a seismic alliance with Austrian duo TR Tactics. 

Showcasing their production prowess, the individual contributions from each member of Burr Oak shine through over the course of the three-track project. As a former member of the innovative trio Signs, well-known for their halftime contributions to labels like Noisia’s Division, Opsen audibly leaves his mark on opener and title track “Polar Lows”, which utilises flourishes of snarling, hip-hop inspired breakbeats before searing synths launch it into a riotous climax. Meanwhile, some of the blistering basslines on show throughout the EP are well-aligned with The Clamps’ signature sound, the sum of the two’s contributions making for phenomenal results. 

Add Trendkill labelmates TR Tactics into the mix on “Washoku” and expect a four-way collaboration of epic proportions, deploying both heavyweight synth work and fleeting, atmospheric pauses. Rounding off the EP is the brooding, progressive “Intelligent Suicide”. Introduced with melancholy ambiances and subdued stabs before hurtling towards a gritty, mechanical crescendo garnished with whirring feedback and drilling basses, the song makes for one of the pair’s most intriguing creations to date, serving as a firm reminder that these two titans of the neuro scene have plenty more tricks up their sleeves.
