The fifth transmission on BRUK comes from Chewlie, a breakthrough artist from Switzerland adept at sculpting tense, sharply defined atmospheres with eerie amounts of space and dreadful amounts of bass. Following up on her 2022 Creature LP for YUKU, this eight-track deep dive explores nervous hallways of dislocated rhythm with a UK soundsystem attitude and a subtle but striking approach to sound design.
 
In contrast with the strident melodic tones of Creature, Chewlie demonstrates her versatility as a sonic artist (alongside her established work as a graphic designer). Understated moodiness is the key here, resulting in powerful heads-down immersion heaters with stand-out moments to make the floor fall in line amidst meditative, patient pauses in between. In the field of leftfield dubwise club music, Chewlie’s voice strikes out with purpose and poise, slotting into the firmament of BRUK as another natural misfit in the many-sided bassweight landscape.

MISS STRESS - GRRLSSS (Décembre 2023)

Transforming Matter

I'm running back to me feeling homesick
soon I might recall the savory flavor
of what will ease me until I'm mellow
I move so the floor beneath me transforms into a flow
does it really matter if I'm loved beloved unloved
if I submerged deep in dirt and died slow
-li al

We breathe in oxygen, transform it into carbon dioxide and breathe out. One simple witness of transforming matter. With this album I became aware of this inevitable movement and my deeply rooted need to live that. So I could not restrict myself any longer not to surrender to it, to the creative flow.
Very new and important to me was to collaborate with such immensely talented artists. It has elevated and transformed my production skills & process. I feel very honored to connect, learn and transform matter - together.
-Chewlie

Mossambi makes his return to All Centre to follow up the stunning debut Resurf EP from the beginning of 2023. On The AI Told Me To, he delivers 3 more experimental techno exertions backed by a heavy-duty club remix from Holloway.

Reptate opens proceedings with otherworldly vocals stuttering over Mossambi’s distinctively inventive sound design. The track enters an off-kilter, compelling groove composed of deep kicks, growling subs and snippets of microtonal melodies, building up and playing out like an extra-dimensional take on dubstep.

The title track keeps up the momentum with deep kicks and shuffling hats, allowing a lush choral pad to stutter and proliferate amongst the percussive intricacies. The chord is manipulated, filtered and triggered in unpredictable patterns as the track progresses, keeping the listener on their toes whilst Mossambi holds down a transfixing groove.

Mossambi’s final track, Miscellaneous Vegetable Platter, slows things down to a hypnotic 110 bpm pace. A disorienting blend of scrambled vocals, fried digital synths and dubbed-out bass and chord hits are kept in check by steady drums, whilst a frenzied snare roll pushes and pulls at the track’s intensity as the track progresses, crafting an engrossing low-tempo workout.

Holloway translates Mossambi’s glitched vocals and heady sound design onto a ferocious four-to-the-floor groove. A warbling bassline bubbles underneath driving percussion, whilst a syncopated hard house siren brings the energy levels to a fever pitch.

The AI Told Me To

Mossambi - Miscellaneous Vegetable Platter [ACEN056]

What defines us if not an ongoing exploration of the peaks and valleys of our existence?

We ascend brief summits of joy to descend into the profound depths where our fears reside. It's in those moments when we choose to gaze into the ever-shifting forms and faces of our inner demons. We find ourselves embracing them, breathing alongside them, gradually gaining awareness before ascending once more.

Achieving freedom from obsessions demands a willingness to bear them for eternity.

Here lies the contemplation: to linger in a superficial unawareness or to fully immerse ourselves in the turbulent sea facing our own shadows.

Within each of us resides a unique response; contemplate and choose your own.

The closing track off my brand new album Pits, released today on @yukumusic :)

"I love watching bodies of water. Ripples in the swan’s wake make the image of the willow above shimmer and play; the swirl of the algae reveals the complexity of these currents; even crashing waves on the coast begin with a single drop, if you listen closely. Last year’s Sinking was all about the action, the warp and weft, the striated emerging from the smooth emerging from the striated, and so on. It was a toil, well aware of its own futility. With this album I wanted to stop squeezing the life out of the moment, but still to capture its richness. In more direct terms, I avoided meticulous editing and instead built up a hodgepodge of custom sequencing software over the course of about 18 months, recording things as I went. These tracks all came out rather effortlessly from a damp and dreary two-week span in the height of summer, after which the systems that created them collapsed into an overwrought mess."

Is It Giving

We’re thrilled to share with you the third volume of our beloved series ‘‘traversée’’ - a space for producers to explore their own versatility.

‘‘traversée 03’’ gather – once again – super talented artists who shape the vision of the label on a daily basis through the diversity of their musical background and origins.

Talking about musical process with artists is super important to us and sharing it to the world is even more significant : soon we'll share some ‘‘words behind the track’’ from artists themselves to dive deeper into their own reflexions: take a deep breathe in —

(:
