Full A/AA release: 16.09.21

OUT NOW: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/mike-cheque-greaze

"We are thrilled to welcome South East London's Slolek to the Canapé family, with this carnal double-track debut. Having operated under various guises in recent years, CNP017 sees the British DJ/Producer hone his unique strain of cavernous mutant techno, sure to bless countless soundsystems in the months to come.

A-side 'Mike Cheque' showcases a true melting pot of UK underground influences: Slolek's irresistible UKG lilt is thickened with Electro backbeat girth and a grimey sub-line that absolutely screams for a gunfinger.

'Greaze' continues our journey into techno swampland, as haunting vocal hits and churning breakbeats are underpinned by (perhaps) the dirtiest kick of 2021."

CNP018 • 'Harrikane' EP - Kristi [ @finn-kverndal ]

Full EP release: 28.10.21

PRE-ORDER: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/harrikane-2

"Distilled affiliate and 1020 resident, Kristi, lays down a trifecta of kaleidoscopic club hitters, on his debut Canapé release ‘Harrikane’.

Hailing from Bristol—via London and Norway—the 20 year old DJ/Producer bolts out of the blocks with explosive A-side ‘Harrikane’: fizzing electronics and verb-drenched rave stabs seamlessly interweave over Kristi’s sharpened breakbeat.

Contrast is exquisitely explored with B1, ’In Transition’: a Balearic-tinged journey down the celestial autobahn. Playful acid leads bounce off rolling percussion at a cool 122bpm, that feels like it could gyrate forever.

‘Harrikane (B-Mix)’ is a suitably relentless closer: a bubbling Tech-House interpretation of its A-side counterpart, guaranteed to stimulate dance floors. A kinetic club weapon. A real jaw-clencher, if you will."

"Believed to be sent back from 2069, Hyphen's 'ASTRAL HOOK-UPZ' archives a brief collection of frequency modulation works, fuelled by the Earth-dweller's turbulent experimentation with alien narcotics.

In late 2021, Canapé Records discovered the works being broadcast via an unidentified pirate radio signal. Despite no one stepping forth to claim the broadcast, it is rumoured to have been aired by an underground network of DJs entitled the 'Interplanetary Dub-Rave Alliance'.

I.D.R.A. are yet to make any public statement."

CNP020 • 'Ulterior Guidance' EP - @bensonstreaker

Limited run of 300 x 12", mastered and cut by Curved London

OUT NOW: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/ulterior-guidance

"The enigmatic Benson Streaker returns to Canapé this summer with a sweltering four-track 12”: ‘Ulterior Guidance’.

Transcending the woozy microcosm of breakbeat and electronica established on his label debut [CNP015 - ‘The Body / Something’s Not Right’], CNP020 sees Streaker push his sound into opulent technicolour.

Amid a wash of psychedelic hues, A1 (’Strange Operator’) beckons with an irresistibly saturated tech-house skip. Seatbelts are advised, as Benson’s heart-throb 4x4 propels us to a strange, yet loving, astral plane.

A2 illustrates a co-existence of sophistication and minimalism rarely found in post-millennial house music; an otherworldly vocal (courtesy of Ursula Rucker) is glued effortlessly with Streaker’s understated percussion, on the blissful 7-minute title track.

On the flip side, ‘Dimension’ (B1) thrusts us into a Balearic haze of raves-gone-by. Glimpses of early acid house and trance permeate this shimmering and uplifting club-pumper, before our cosmic journey concludes with the elegant and soulful ‘It’s Yours’ (B2). Acting as a reminder of our Earthly genesis, shades of quintessential minimal house and UK garage tastefully underpin this 00’s-inspired stomper."

“Conjured from deep within a primordial darkness, Slolek’s debut EP ‘Transfiguration’ summons an ancient vibration that resounds a lost chamber of the human psyche.

Across 5 arresting tracks, ‘Transfiguration’ explores an expansive range of tempos and energies, deftly pairing acute, ambient sound design with a leftfield-club sensibility. The East London producer’s third label appearance showcases a versatility and ingenuity unmatched in the current UK Techno landscape and we feel truly honoured to represent this incredible work.”

CNP022 • ‘Extend’ EP - @vilhelmhasselgren

OUT NOW: canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/extend

"With great pleasure, we introduce our first international collaboration: hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, 23-year-old producer Vilhelm has blessed us with 3 gorgeous club tracks on his ‘Extend’ EP.

Pulling from the broken, ethereal productions of the mid-late 90’s, Vilhelm’s work refracts a timeless sound through a modernist lens. With a lavishly reverberant sonic palette, the Swedish producer’s Canapé debut observes a playful contrast between sparsity and complexity—a theme that is explored with compelling urgency across the EP’s length. Carried by dynamic passages of sub and break, Vilhelm’s ability to convey feeling within a club-ready track is second-to-none.

Alongside production and DJ-ing pursuits, Vilhelm also runs Villa Records with his younger brother Einar Hasselgren. Established in 2020, the label champions the jungle, drum & bass and dubstep community blossoming on Sweden’s SW Coast.

As a UK-based label, we feel honoured to have the opportunity to shine a light on some truly exciting international dance music. We hope you enjoy CNP022."
