Midheaven Records continues its run of firsts in 2021 with ‘Shifgrethor / Konstant Kemmer’, the debut of Eora/Sydney-based producer Mx-Ai (they/them). The last decade has seen Mx-Ai move from playing in bands, to no-input mixing, to chopping samples and programming drums—a habitual experimentation both integrated with living, and consciously auto-didactive. Years of quietly working away have resulted in a warped bass music sound, drawing upon the sensibilities of musique concrète, jungle, dub and dancehall. Taking their names from concepts in Ursula K. Le Guin’s ‘The Left Hand of Darkness’, ‘Shifgrethor’ and ‘Konstant Kemmer’ are a small glimpse into a larger world of sounds yet to be heard, where synths cling like vapour to structural beats, meticulously grooving and articulate. Astute sound design makes tangible a feeling suspended between excitement and anxiety, with sweeps of FX and minute rhythmic shifts keeping things on the move, ever-curious and rolling. This is an exciting statement of intent from a gifted artist.

https://duppygun.bandcamp.com/album/streets

CDMX, Mexico, Portmore, Jamaica, LA, Bristol, UK: listen. Shining a light on Duppy rising voice RDL for his first solo offering (another smash combo with Smurphy on the buttons). RDL first surfaced on the Duppy radar on 'RichMiProud' from 2019's I Jahbar & Friends album and 'Bumper' (from 2020's Montegod Riddim pack). RDL strikes out on his own now with 3 bold minutes of bubbling auto-tuned heat coming off the lockdown Streets of Portmore; riding a pristine pop-ready riddim from Smurphy.
