South London favourites Chaos in the CBD come back to Rhythm Section International one year after their breakthrough EP ‘Midnight in Peckham’. The original EP captured a moment in time in a way few songs can manage. It was hailed as a masterpiece, capturing the attention of all who listened, as evidenced by the unquenchable demand for the 12”.

This follow up EP is an equally sublime collection of tracks that revel in the late night soulful feel that Chaos in The CBD have been honing over the past two years. The music’s strength lies in it’s subtlety - the tracks demand your attention in an effortless fashion and hold it, right ‘til the last beat. Another unbelievably powerful record from a pair of young producers set to take the world by storm.

Chaos In the CBD - Invisible Spectrum

sept

Amadeus sees it’s catalog graced yet again by New Zealand outfit Chaos In The CBD. The kiwi brothers, birthed Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales, are no new faces to the label, or the wide variety of genre-bending acronyms they encompass. Having recently relocated from tropical Auckland to damp London earlier this year, the two take their productions along with them in their latest efforts, 816 To Nunhead.

Title track and aside, “816 To Nunhead,” is tinged with what’s left of summer. A nostalgic tune built for the sun and soaked in funk. It’s a track reminiscent of early french disco, almost as if built for the two robots themselves. Guitar plucks and hi hats flow seamlessly throughout the tune, aided by a glorifying vocal, “I would like to think of my music as just an extension, an extension of me of today or whatever.” 

What emotion of freedom and escape evoked on the Aside can be contrasted on the flip, “78 To Stanley Bay,” a tune built behind the ever looming theme of loneliness. Accompanied by a live trumpet courtesy of Isaac Aesili, ’78 To Stanley Bay’ tells us a story, or rather a journey, built behind dirty hats and delayed keys. This is a track fashioned for everywhere but the club, and we absolutely love that.

Release Info:
Things are getting grim. The Good Guys and The Bad are determined to settle their escalating dispute in the ring. After the bookies have taken their bets, The Bad Guys are taking the upper hand in the first few rounds. The nefarious comment about their beloved mother seems to have sparked uncontrollable rage in the pair. Don’t rule out the Good Guys just yet though, as they seem to be plotting something their opponents from the dark side won’t see coming...
For the second outing in the Quartet Series, French fry and Parisian Concrete resident S3A (Sampling As An Art, Faces) infuses the good guys with some positive energy. No matter the weather, one simple cannot ignore the good vibes being thrown down here. S3A shares his side of the record with Russian comrade Ponty Mython (Dirt Crew, Quintessentials), a producer who is never afraid to step out of his comfort zone. His ‘Lovin You Is A Pleasure’ is a glorious exploration of Afro rhythms and unconventional sounds against an Adriatic backbeat. Will this curveball be the silver bullet the Good Guys will be slinging at their evil adversaries?

Problem is, Team Badness has also been enlisting secret weaponry. Newcastle’s very own NY*AK (Technicolour/Ninja Tune, Karakul) decided to walk over to the turn to the dark side. Don’t be fooled by the continuous chanting of “love” throughout the track or those soothing Rhodes chords, as the raw MPC beats will hit you hard. Finally, D-Ribeiro (4lux, Meda Fury), hailing from Rotterdam, provides the proverbial dragonpunch with synths hammering down like chainsaws and a devastating bassline.

No love lost between these two fighting machines, so kick back, relax and enjoy the fight!

Quartet Series is a fresh imprint, run by Maurits Verwoerd (Nachtbraker) and Giuseppe D’Alessandro (KiSk), with four releases in the pipeline, featuring four different artists and commissioned storyboard comics on the sleeve. To see how the story unravels, you’ll need to catch them all...

"Amadeus" label sees itself yet again graced by the California-gone-Berlin coastal conﬁdant, Steve Huerta. Preparing his fourth record for the imprint, Huerta sets a mood of what is to be his best record to date. Bringing along fellow expatriate and Berlin-based producer Youandewan (of "Secret Sundaze" and "Aus Music" fame) along with him. Aside and forefront club-track, “Mandala, here, ” carries itself through chugging shakers and pad-work, held tightly in place by the squelchy, off-kilter lead. The tune never quite sits still, bubbling about by each percolating percussive layer. Out soon !

Love Dup

Ukrainian DJ and producer Lessovsky aka Oleg Lisovsky debuts on Piston with the superb Anytime You Want It EP, which features three top notch deep house cuts for our listening pleasure. Oleg's sound is an impressive fusion of emotional electronic tone with deep flavour and melodics. He's been churning out quality vibes since 2012 on many top labels, and this looks set to continue for many years. His extensive catalogue now contains over 50 productions and some have aired on BBC Radio 1 broadcasts and are found in top playlists on international radio stations on a regular basis. Great to have him on board.

Anytime You Want is a superb, deep and lush cut that will most definitely find its way into many playlists. A smooth and sultry groove is on offer here which is made up of some beautifully deep tones and a soft catchy vocal riff. Warm basses are matched with smooth keys creating a soulful sound that sits perfectly in the deep house groove. A variety of expertly layered instruments add rich textures to the sound making this a definite must have for those late night sexy sessions.

Swimming In Your Hair opens with a smooth multi layered chord, a nice and chunky kick drum comes through alongside some cool trumpet sounds. Subtle percussions start to form up and the rhythm gathers pace. Deep groovy basses keep the low end rocking as the chords intensify as those trumpets continue to be ultra cool. Sensual vocals come through on the break and are joined by a super tight trumpet riff. Smooth just doesn't cut it with this one, ultra smooth maybe but simply fantastic nonetheless. 

Room 69 intros with a nice chunky kick and a crispy clean hi hat combi. A deep growling bassline takes over and we're instantly hooked by its raw appeal. The bassline is joined by a more polished and warmer bass on the break creating a cool contrast and adds to the texture of the sound. An excellent gritty vocal underpins the raw groove while pitching synths come through. A definite late night tune that will rock any joint.

Anytime You Want It EP

Swimming In Your Hair

We've been tight with Peckham collective and record label Rhythm Section for a long time now, and catching wind of a new release is always a very big deal. Aukland-born and Peckham-based duo Chaos in the CBD have been on our radar for a minute. You'll probably know these two as the hands behind their seminal debut Midnight in Peckham, released last year. Their new release, Invisible Spectrum, doesn't disappoint. Our favourite of the tracks, "Significant Others" brings the EP to its peak with heavy jazz influences, a bongo beat and serious dance capabilities. Get ready to be wrapped up in the kind of groove that makes you forget all the bad stuff.

The Invisible Spectrum is released on 9th September.

Phil - Close 2 You Remix

Fizic 005

1. Serpenti (Remixed by Lucy)
2. Oblic (Minor Science's Non-Newtonian Fluid Mix)
The fifth installment of Cosmin TRG's Fizic comes in the shape of two lethal remixes from some of the most innovative artists in the field, Lucy and Minor Science.
Lucy takes Serpenti's mystical energies and blends them into a digital ritual of tectonic plate-shifting drums, sizzling textures and hypnotic patterns. Highly seductive and authoritative transmission from the Stroboscopic Artefacts school of thought.
Oblic sees its exuberant shimmer and ricochet rhythms reinterpreted with scientific precision by Minor Science (Trilogy Tapes, Whities). The result is a hyper-modern, high-octane excursion with deep fluid bass drums, expert percussion and soaring synths.
Oblic/ Serpenti Remixes arrive on Fizic in September 2016 in Digital and Vinyl Formats.
Lucy's remix mastered by Giovanni Conti at Artefacts Mastering
Minor Science's remix mastered by. Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, Original cover artwork by Cosmin Nicolae.
