Fraxinus - Powerplant Blue
Label: Powerplant
Catalog #: POW3R
Format: Digital Data (Vinyl TBA)
Release Date: 20/05/22

Another colour on the spectrum — Fraxinus delivers a further batch of industrial strength trax with his new EP Powerplant Blue. This is the latest in a series of colour-coded, no-frills white labels on his self-release imprint Powerplant.

Blue sees Fraxinus push the BPM range from previous releases, whilst retaining the same propulsive energy & lean aesthetics he’s known for. X-side up, ‘Interlock’ initiates the sequence with an uncompromising high-tempo workout. The raucous rhythm section rolls like thunder, a formidable breakdown supplying the only moment of respite. Second track ‘Frame Stall’ follows suit with its pounding kicks, upon which an insistent bleep unfolds restlessly.

Flipping to side Y, ‘Uplink’ makes for a dizzying listening experience — deep rolling bass frequencies & an elastic synth being pulled apart before the ears. Despite its bouncing beat, final track ‘Prow’ is a moodier affair. Skittering hihats & distant sirens echo through the mist, rounding out the collection in a heads-down fashion.

4 cuts of armour-plated techno, optimized for maximum warehouse utility — Powerplant Blue will be released 20/05/22 on digital download (vinyl TBA), distributed by Cargo Records.

Solomas is a long time friend/acquittance of PARDON and there’s a great chance you’re not familiar with his name yet, since he’s been active under a dozen different aliases over the years.   The producers’ fascination for bootleg culture is clear on ‘Smile and Join’. A deep-rooted love for reggaeton and contemporary club music, results in his productions sounding like they could easily have been plucked from a mystery white-label or freshly bounced from his studio yesterday.

‘Smile and Join’ opens with beefed-up breaks and precision placed layers of percussion adding bone-shaking movement. The track delves into a cinematic build-up with synth lines drenched in reverb whilst breaks echo in and out of the soundscape.

PREMIERE: Solomas - Smile And Join

Coen, the elusive artist behind 2017’s highly acclaimed ‘Yellah’, returns with an 8 track mini album on Le Motel’s Maloca Records. Created over the last two years during the artist’s relocation from Manchester (U.K.) to London, the collection is a DJ’s gift box, built around stripped back, hard hitting beats at a range of different moods and tempos.

Much of the music uses the artist’s own percussion collection, meticulously recorded and sampled for use on this record. From Tama’s 166bpm four-on-the-floor assault, to the wild drum solos of Pressure Roll and the Miami bass-tinged LFNT - take your pick. Or, for the real club heads, sit back and take a trip through the twists and turns of the full release.

After his debut on Artificio, Rachiid Paralyzing takes the experience to the next level in the second installment of Mega Tempo, exploring the frontiers of Maximal Dance and fusing rhythm with captivating melodic elements. The music plunges into a whirlwind of indomitable rhythms, enriched by the distinctive breakbeat style and arpeggios that evoke the infinite melancholy of the dance floor. 

Following the structure of the first volume, this second installment consists of three tracks focused on the dance floor. The first one, Digita (Silva Mix), sails on a constant bass pulse that guides us towards a bright and resonant sensation, like the dawn of a new day. On Frika (Mega Sound), the vocals intertwine with the rhythm on each rise and fall, striking an attractive yet unpredictable balance. Closing, Le Manía displays euphoric arpeggios that generate constant tension and expectation, enveloping us in his captivating magic.

"Apparatus“ is Rizla Ops’ debut EP on Voitax, a deeply personal creation born swiftly amidst the heartbreak of losing a close friend, Ollie Mazgaj. Crafted during a period of introspection, the EP became an anchor, the only thing that felt right in a world detached from the club and daily routine. 

Sonically diverse, "Apparatus“ explores techno, drill, amapiano, grime, and garage, maintaining a common thread of dissonance, functionality, and groove. The title track, „Apparatus, stands out as an outlier in Rizla Ops’ discography, featuring big melodic moments that capture the raw emotions of the artist at that particular time. Despite his usual preference for conveying ideas through rhythm and sound design, this EP marks a turning point, hinting at future experiments with melody and harmony. 

"Apparatus“ is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic journey through genres, emotions, and personal growth—a testament to Rizla Ops’ dedication to pushing boundaries and creating immersive, thought-provoking electronic music.
