Fantastic Effects zeroes in on the percussive end of club music, with a carefully curated selection of bold and direct tracks from some of the most exciting producers from Australia and abroad.

Crazy   Legs    (an   eminent   dance   freak   by   a   different   name),    The   Ghan    (Fishing),   and   Portuguese   kuduro   pioneer    DJ N.K.    open   proceedings   with   some   peculiar   rompler   workouts   before    T.Morimoto    and    DIN    (Chunyin/Rainbow   Chan /Moon   Holiday)   deliver   two   driving   cuts   from   different   perspectives.   We   then   call   on   Body   Promise‘s  H   ED Ardennes ,   Perth/Sydney   cyberpunks    Hot   Wavs    and   Melbourne   noise   duo    WDK    to   dial   up   the   overdrive   and     flip   us all   the   digital   bird.    fake    (Cassius   Select/BV)   and   dream   collab    DJ   Plead   &   DJ   Logic    offer   two   darker   atmospheres   at kick   on   and   kick   off   tempos   respectively,   and    Andy   Garvey    makes   her   spectacular   debut   with   a   floor-filler   only   a seasoned   DJ   could   create.    Poison    appear   courtesy   of   Melbourne   label   Sumac   for   a   small   taste   of   the   MIDI   east,   and to   cap   it   off   multidisciplinary   artist    Makeda    backs   up   the   ferocity   of    friendships    with   a   delicate   and   sublime cadence.

PREMIERE : Thoden - Bounded

The words 'No Entry' always seemed to have the adverse effect. For as long as they'd inhabited this space, those words had been emblazoned over the cellar. No one dared ask what lay beyond the padlocked door, though they'd come close on several occasions, but they couldn't quite get the words out. Some said they'd heard muffled screams coming from beneath the floorboards, others swore they'd seen people come and go in the dead of night, but these were all rumours... What really happened down in the basement nobody knew. 

Kahter returns to Basilica for his first solo release since contributing a track to the label's inaugural VA compilation a few years back. With EPs under his belt on Circular Jaw, Manuka and Swamp 81, Kahter now takes care of Basilica's fourth release, building on his exploration into heavy bass frequencies. Over the four tracks on Polaris, he shares the more hard-hitting side of his production, which also includes a collaboration with Infinite Machine producer Yilan that matches polyrhythmic drums with crisp percussion and driving subs.

PREMIERE: Kahter & Yilan - Rugs [Basilica]

PSEUDUB002 - Vina Konda - Hidden Walking Minerals [PREVIEWS]

Toma Kami returns to Livity Sound for a third EP of provocative, experimental club gear. At the helm of his own Man Band label the French producer continues to explore a hybridised style which favours fractured beats, playful samples and occasional psychedelic flourishes.

Compared to the busier sound of previous releases, minimalism informs Toma’s approach on LIVITY053 as he sits his crunchy drums and weighty low-end in a tangibly spacious mix on ‘Amapicante’. Even within a stripped-down context, his unique approach shines through as ‘Later To The Bone’ progressively ramps up in scratched and scuffed sonic interference and ‘Mzecal’ trips over its own fragmented found-sound drum formations.

Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.

HED Ardennes is the club work of Doug Wright (@fishing / Body Promise).

For Fantastic Effects he shares Devender, a shuffling utilitarian slink used to move things in a downwards direction when a rigid 4/4 stomper just won’t do.

The time has come for Body Promise to unleash their second compilation into the world. Just over a year since the release of their debut compilation Harmony From A Dominant Hue, which garnered a 9/10 review in Mixmag, Fantastic Effects is the perfect example of the evolution Body Promise has undertaken in the last twelve months.

‘Open Book’ is a puddle. Stormwater. Runoff from the torrential babble of clubbers in clubs, talking over the music. Mouths held unnaturally wide open, gushing verbal porridge, desperate to accept and to be accepted by others. This doof dialect is always forming new idioms which will ultimately merge into a universal speech, yelled over a 909 kick by all humanity.

Open Book

Crazy Legs - Open Book

Scuffed Recordings line up the fifth release in the Scuffed Presents compilation series, looking ahead to 2021 with four new artists to the label, and sounds ranging from broken bass, UK garage, rave-inspired breaks, and rolling techno.

Opening the release is Austrian producer @awo_ojiji, a longstanding member of the Graz-based collective Disko404 who released his debut ‘Static Flow’ EP in 2020 on Eternal Ocean. His unique interpretation of broken, bass-led techno on ‘Woozy’ marks him out as an artist to watch in 2021.

Mixed by Zanshin.

Sheffield has a long, storied track record for producing stellar electronic music, and unperson is another talented artist to emerge from the Steel City. Earning previous support from the likes of Call Super, Bruce and India Jordan, unperson is a rising figure in the underground dance circuit. Following his 'The Ghosts That Gave' EP, we're thrilled to be premiering 'In Your Own Time' below, a track built from shimmering pads and juddering Amens. unperson describes the track as "a hazy head-nodder built to occupy the murky corners of the (virtual) club. 'In Your Own Time' is spaced out sound system music, reflecting a hopeful kind of yearning.”

Premiere: unperson - 'In Your Own Time'
