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).

Shanghai's @LaughingEars makes her @Decisionsrecords debut this February with 'Blue Dusk' EP. 

Previously Laughing Ears has released music via Beijing’s Ran Music and Hangzhou’s FunctionLab, and NTS stans may recognise her name following radio appearances on the cult East London station.

Sonically, Laughing Ears orbits around a kind of explorative, cyberpunk-ish universe as she draws from ambient, bass, footwork and noise. Here on 'Blue Dusk', she's "extending her praxis of psycho-sonic inquiry" (says the label) in order to "deep-dive [into] a crepuscular environment teeming with insectile percussion and thrumming sub bass, illuminated by brilliant searchlight melodies".

DECISIONS will release 'Blue Dusk' on February 21. Pre-order above and tune into EP cut 'A Tinge Of Hope' now.

NTS 055 [24th November 2020] Ft. Mika Oki

The seventh Amulet carries elements of water, burgeoning life and subtly glowing electricity. The Bulgarian artist Evitceles has been exploring themes of (un)natural life and personal vulnerability in his musical work since 2014, releasing a variety of albums and collections, several on labels such as Yerevan Tapes and Opal Tapes. The compositions of Evitceles do not shy away from tonal experimentations, unique forms of songwriting as well as different uses of rhythm and style; listening to his work feels much like a slow walk through a gallery of impressionistic paintings.
