Patch Notes:

Expanding the System Coupe with Akemie’s Castle, 2x Pip Slopes, and the MFX housed in our 52HP mini case.

In this patch, the dual voices of Akemie’s Castle are used to create a thick, detuned bassline, with envelope modulation from the Quaid. A gritty lead sound is created with the MCO / MCF utilising the MCO’s multiple outputs for light filter FM for added sparkle. The lead voice is sent through the MFX’s Digi-PCM delay program which adds deep ambience as well as a heavy pitch vibrato. The Squid is used for beats and patched through the Milton’s line input to add a warm analog saturation.

Small systems with fun and unique modules make a great addition to the flexible groovebox style arrangement of the System Coupe.

Coupe Vs Castle

Label boss Alex Jones fires out another new single on Hypercolour, the imprint he co-founded back in 2006 alongside Jamie Russell. ‘H2O’ finds Jones in a blissful four-to-the-floor mode, with the kind of classic house production that evokes the timeless sounds of artists like Stacey Pullen, Chez Damier and Mike Banks.

When not producing affirming techno bangers as one half of Dense & Pika, and running his other label operation, Kneaded Pains, Jones is most adept at conjuring up off kilter and genre busting productions under a variety of aliases. ‘H2O’ plays it relatively straight, compared to other recent productions, but none the less intoxicating, as skippy beats, joyous melodies and a lively arrangement mark this one out of a real feel good house track.

Habibti Nation w/ LUMA & Sara Allan - November 2022

True music lover from Odesa - Igor @pvlv will release debut  EP ‘101A’ on his @united-rhythms label in December. Listen to track ‘Stoned Faces’ as the premiere today! 

https://unitedrhythmsrec.bandcamp.com/album/101a

Starting off proceedings on the EP is the electrifying title track ‘Stoned Faces’ guaranteed to do peak time damage, driven by a rising synth line and explosive low end pressure percussion pay homage to some of the best of UK techno and bass music. Up next is ‘Faint’ a playful wobbler, combining a wubby baseline with trippy sample manipulation and glitchy percussive fills. Closing out the release is ‘Soulmate’, anchored around glitched-out vocals, powerful bassweight-focussed and  minimalist flair. These tracks share a taste for deep, wriggling bass; distorted plumes of low-end pressure writhe and growl on top of tectonic drum beats.

PVLV — Soulmate (United Rhythms)

Between 1 April 2022 and 30 September 2022, food banks in the Trussell Trust’s UK-wide network distributed 1.3 million food parcels to people facing hardship – this is an increase of 52% compared to the same period in 2019. Half a million of these parcels were distributed to children. The charity says that for the first time, need for emergency food is outstripping donations as the cost of living emergency is leading to a drastic increase in the number of people turning to food banks for support.

With this situation being more urgent than ever, Vief are delighted to announce their 2nd charity compilation will be raising funds for the Trussell Trust. Not only providing incredibly vital, immediate support to people facing hardship, the charity also works tirelessly towards the goal of ending the need for food bank in the UK.

Spanning genres and tempos, reticulation stands as the label’s most ambitious project to date, and owes its thanks to the immense talent and generosity of the 20 producers involved.

UK musical pioneer Subject 13 have leaned into many genres over his 30-year career, from jazz-step and tough-edged drum & bass to the hip hop sounds of 'Dripping Sauce', his latest single for R&S Records.  Produced in collaboration with Conscious Route, the London born rapper, MC, poet and signer songwriter, this new release drops it raw and real, spitting conscientious lyrics over a hard-hitting rhythm plugged into a minimal and bleepy production.
