Millie & Andrea are Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, fellow labelmates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12” releases between 2008 and 2010. It’s been four years since we last heard from them but they now return with “Drop The Vowels”, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013 / early 2014, it’s an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of Anthony Shakir as much as it does Leila’s incredible debut ‘Like Weather’, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favour of something much more visceral. It’s an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalised, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response.

Opener GIF RIFF brings to life a Gamelan edit stripped bare before the over-compressed ‘Stay Ugly’ breaks out with a tumbling, broken arrangement situated somewhere between Richard D James and Jai Paul. “Temper Tantrum” and “Spectral Source” follow, versions of tracks originally released on the second and third Daphne EP’s respectively, the former a rugged rave anthem tempered by blue strings, the latter a proper dancefloor destroyer recalling Shake’s mighty ‘Madmen’. ‘Corrosive’ flits between a fillibrating, arpeggiated steppers rhythm and a brutal jungle breakdown, while ‘Drop The Vowels’ further explores and strips bare bass & drums before the slow but jacking warehouse killer “Back Down” provides pure percussive abandon. Quay ends the set with something quieter, a sublime coda made entirely from field recordings.

@bonebrokk - In Between Two Worlds
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM107
Format: Digital
Release: November 24th, 2023

From the very start of Bonebrokk’s debut album, we are plunged into a downward spiral of industrial percussion and distorted voices. ‘Altered Realities’ builds a terrifying maelstrom out of what sounds like an engine in a deep tunnel, a seismic alarm, and a hype MC calling for help through a busted intercom. Soon a galloping kick appears and we are off to the races. From there, the record rarely lets up.

The sonic palette remains fairly consistent throughout, but the album covers a lot of ground rhythmically and stylistically, touching on deformed dancehall, hyperfuture dnb (Vassilina’s guest spot provides one of the few moments of relative tenderness), and loads of mutant, latin-inflected techno rollers. Two beatless interludes provide breathers—‘Timelines Melt’ and ‘Valey of Wolves’— although, as the titles might suggest, even these are steeped in dread.

Bonebrokk has crafted ‘In Between Two Worlds’ as a bridge into an imagined world that he can escape to, a respite from the banality of day jobs and our mundane everyday existence that club music can provide for us all.

Liminal, a new label series, sparked to life with a compilation featuring Slowfoam, Kincaid, GOD69, Toupaz, XENIA REAPER, usof, Losssy, Joseph Theodor, and Infra.

The essence of Liminal resides in the spaces between, venturing beyond the confines of the dance floor to traverse transitional sonic landscapes. It inhabits the fringes, where echoes of past epochs mingle with murmurs of the future, inviting introspection and an embrace of the unknown. Stirring a sense of yearning and nostalgia, the series embarks on a journey through liminal states, where belonging remains a distant dream.

'Frog FM', a track characterized by forward-driving hi-hats and alien voices echoing and clashing, reminiscent of a scrambled FM frequency or a child playing with an analog radio dial.

@qanossonap

Sometimes our surroundings seem infinitely grey and the abyss seems to have no end. Light shimmers are very dim; our senses get overwhelmed by lack of hope,nothing but irreverent intrusion in both our public and private life.

Our instinct might tell us to shut down and succumb to the vastness of despair, but we must remain. We must open our eyes and have the courage to face what seems imminent. Face it with hope, gazing that after the void comes warmth, light, union, and empathy.
An eternal longing of what is to come.

In moments like these, we want to help you navigate these feelings alongside qanossonap, greek artist, based in Athens and his take on POSTCLUB.

Swindling composition caracterizes this set, taking us to almost dystopian architectures of future city we never got to appreciate. Accompanied by spoken words and poetry that permeates in this set as in his general work as a producer. Qanossonap makes us wonder if his music should belong in a club, in an art gallery or a futuristic temple with adepts praying to long dead deities. There’s something deeply mystic and spiritual about his sound that lingers in your memory for centuries to come.

Huge thanks to this incredible being for sharing with us his vision of sound, we hope you enjoy as much as we did and heal as much as you need.Perhaps, some parts of you that you may have ignored. Just like it did with us.

ECLEPHSIA - XXXII - qanossonap
