ARMADA SOUNDS is the given name to a series of compilations presented by the booking agency and record label BLDSMX. This series was founded in early 2020, with the purpose of interacting with artists who are within the international underground music scene, which are joined by a deep and universal web of soundscapes and connections. This project is a product generated through effort and dedication to the bass music scene, and the avant-garde electronic sounds in the constantly evolving and hybridizing rhythms of 140-170 BPMs such as Juke/Footwork, Dubstep, D&B, Jungle, Halftime, and more
·
This project was born from the thirst of creators, DJs and producers Alan Flores ‘Vinil Motion’, Pil ‘Deeplinkin’, and most recent addition to the crew Felipe Jardel ‘Aiokai’, with the devotion and passion for low frequencies, repetitive drums, half times and the energetic rhythms mentioned. This great collaboration within the BLDSMX team has, as a purpose, connecting with the inmost parts of listeners and producers alike, to make this deep and universal web as tangible as possible

NHD006 - Henzo - Stretford Blues

https://henzo.bandcamp.com/album/stretford-blues-ep

Finishing off Henzo’s banner 2022 that has seen releases on YCO and Peder Mannerfelt Produktion, the Manchester based producer dials back the tempo into 5 cuts of gloom-ridden dancefloor damagers for his Nervous Horizon debut. Running the gamut of Dancehall, Techno and Drum & Bass, the EP’s refined palette is laser-guided in its intention of favouring groove and atmosphere over melody and hooks.

The opening track, 'Survivorship Bias', rolls out a lurching and smudged drum break over an equally sketchy Donk and vocal sample in a Bolton-meets-Belgium chug affair. 'It’s Ours and Hours Alone' and 'Writhing' lean more towards a typical Dancehall rhythm, smattered with the reticulated percussion that Nervous Horizon have been known for, saturated and growling. 'His Troublesome Knees' sees a variation on the theme of the opener, with the addition of harrowing, gnarly strings that posit drama in the riff that runs almost throughout; An inescapable tension that juxtaposes the highly danceable groove. Rounding out Stretford Blues, 'A Pocket You Didn’t Expect' feels like 3 tempos at once: 82, 164 and 328BPM. The battering, unrelenting kicks laced over taut breaks and hats hark to Jungle Techno and Tech Step in their composition, but the drawn out and bleak orchestral breakdown, coupled with a barking, irate bassline, suggest that Henzo shows no allegiance to nostalgia and is moving intently into the future.

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#116 📢 Kid Kun - Infinite Chant [Miracle Drug]

Buy Digital: bit.ly/3Yl4Omi
Releasing on Streaming platforms - Friday August 25th

Dublin producer DJ Mudak 2000 (@djmudak2000) is back on the infamous Braindance for their third release.

Opening things off we have Dubaton, a melancholic yet driving track made up of swirling dubbed-out drums and lush pads which are glued together by a deep hitting sub. This one reaches a beautiful motivating point and is definitely one to seek out on a late night walk home. 

Inertia is a very bright track with Beltran-esque plucks that float over airy chords. These elements accompanied by some expertly filtered subs and a heavy kick pattern drag you back from the sky and remind you that this track can fill the floor just as well as it can accompany you in a daydream. 

Metallic follows in a similar ilk, this time the name of the song references the commanding percussive element of the song which loops  while all the elements around it drift in and out in almost a wave-like manner. 

Now and Then is an amazing yet not too jarring change of pace. Electro arps, footwork jungle breaks and delayed chords make for an incredible amalgamation which erupts into a “tops off” drop of breakbeat euphoria.

Slow Dance is a peak time, half time, monster. This one is made for that transformative moment on a dancefloor when it evolves from coordinated dancing into an all out mosh pit. This track definitely highlights Mudak's prowess as a producer, being able to cover all realms of modern 160 and up in an effortless fashion. 

The final track Wack is far from its namesake. Another dancefloor destroyer, Wack is a weighty, punchy track which will leave you battered and bruised. This track also features an incredible switch up from half time into a more footwork rhythm which will twist crowds minds like a wet rag. 

End to End is available to purchase via the Braindance Bandcamp August 4th, 2023.

PREMIERE: DJ Gerard - Platform [Sketchy Lines]

EYX018 brings Scalymoth's debut EP, the two-tracker titled "Lush / Humble Rumble” marks a new milestone in the rapidly rising career of the DJ from Brisbane (Australia).

Scalymoth, has emerged as rising talent in the electronic music world, quietly making waves with her unique sound and innovative production techniques. Drawing inspiration from diverse experiences and the vibrant
energy of different locales, the Australian producer’s music is a blend of i intricate production, atmospheric textures, and powerful beats.

The EP offers two contrasting yet complementary tracks that highlight his versatile production skills and deep understanding of the dancefloor. "Lush" opens the EP with a cascade of ethereal textures that transport listeners into a dreamlike state. The track's layered synths and gentle beats create an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection, making it perfect for both chilled-out listening sessions and early morning festival sets. In stark contrast, "Humble Rumble" brings the energy up with a pulsating bassline and fierce beats that are sure to ignite dancefloors. The track is a testament to Scalymoth's prowess in creating high-energy, bassheavy anthems that resonate with electronic music enthusiasts.

The release of "Lush / Humble Rumble" is accompanied by a series of live performances and DJ sets across Brisbane and other major Australian cities. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience as Scalymoth brings his unique sound to the stage, blending live instrumentation with electronic elements.

Ultimately “Lush / Humble Rumble” explores the duality of sound and emotion of Scalymoth’s music, while ’Lush' captures the serene, introspective side of my production, 'Humble Rumble' is all about raw energy and movement.

Scalymoth said:
“This debut EP is the culmination of a few years of making, listening and learning. It is designed to make you move in whichever way and wherever makes you feel comfortable. All tracks were created on drum machines,
inspired by random occurrences over the last year. I'm also excited I got to weave in some field recordings I took in India.

‘Lush / Humble Rumble’ is available across all platforms on Friday 26th of July 2024.
