From RDL Shellah's debut Showcase EP, prod by @seekersinternational

https://duppygun.bandcamp.com/album/showcase-ep

RDL Shellah (the artist formerly known as RDL) follows up the long sold out pop-grade 2021 Streets 7” produced by Mexico’s riddim queen Smurphy with a full Showcase EP featuring Canadian collective Seekersinternational (SKRS) on the buttons once again.

Lead single ‘Bad Wine’ is pure silky-tongued summer heater with a dusty boom-bap soul like a Jamaican take on Anderson Paak and Knxwledge; while the video tells a classic ‘where is my boyfriend’ story that’s as old as time. RDL Shellah has been part of I Jahbar’s Roolingz Musik collective, recording under the name Providence and guesting on tracks like ‘Rock the Party’ before joining him in Duppy Gun operations. The Showcase EP marks his first big artistic statement as a solo vocalist before he embarks on another collaborative EP in 2022 with I Jahbar sharing vocal duties (also produced by Seekersinternational).

Cos goth is just dub for people without enough vitamin D…..

The first release on Bokeh’s goth/industrio-horror sister label BKV Cadavre rises from cvlt Glasgow band VOM. Before now, they were already the best and most original zero-nostalgia goth band in Scotland since Twisted Nerve - as heard on 2013’s perfect Altered States LP.

But anyone lucky enough to witness their live workouts or the few tracks on At War With False Noise’s 2020 comp Votive Offerings know there’s a different trio lurking. Entity Attachment is the first album in this long evolution: 6 tracks of macabre steppas and dread-drenched drum tracks for paranoid late night DMT trippers and folk-horror-scifi soundtracks. Spaces between drum machine hits fill with billowing noise, vocals are now stripped back to distant yelps bouncing off stone walls, bass brought to the fore in dub-grade workouts.

To understand what’s aligning here: there’s snatches of vampiric Bauhaus dubpunk buried between touches of industrial darkwave acts like Black Funeral, Murderous Vision and Controlled Bleeding surgically grafted onto the new breed of dread n bass like our pal Ossia (check the closer Goetic Ritual for most proof).

Peasant Blends is a combination of medieval music and uk club sounds, both things very close to my heart. It's a journey through dark winter months, out briefly into the sun, and then to the club. Hopefully a trajectory we will all be on soon xx I hope you enjoy it, it was lots of fun to make.

CLUB CHAI Vol. 2 is a collection of tracks by artists whose work truly embodies the Club Chai ethos that exists in storytelling through sound. As we close out the label, this release remains a lustrous perspective on the future.

Alongside the compilation, the Club Chai Archive book is out today on our Bandcamp. You can preorder the book alongside the digital release of the compilation for a bundled price of $35 ($15 for the compilation and $25 for the book).

The archive book is a culmination of all the moving parts that make up Club Chai at once – a way to honor the project's complexity and intimacy. A way to honor the project's complexity and intimacy. How do we remember and archive something that is really made up of a fleeting feeling? Being on the dancefloor with friends, singing in unison or zoning out in complete bliss. It feels right to create something physical that can be held, touched and encountered slowly and 
carefully. Making this book entirely with friends makes it feel even more intimate and special.
