As 2017 draws to a close, following on from their debut appearance on the latest Circular Jaw release with Agrippa ‘CJAW007’, the Milan duo Ltd Colours prepare to drop their second full release, a four track powerhouse brimming with percussive tension and dancefloor ready tracks.

Having worked with the fellow Italian and Nervous Horizon top dog, Wallwork and releasing music on the certified Mexican imprint Infinite Machine, they have already set the precedent for themselves to continue as some of the scene's most innovative rising producers.
They also hold down a residency on Gioconda Radio with their show ‘SAFE’ and play for the collective ORBITER, proving themselves as talented selectors on a regular basis.

Opening the EP is ‘Depths’ rising up from a deep ambient crevice comes the most true introduction to the Ltd Colours sound as it bursts out from its hole, ready to strike with skittish vocals and sparse drums that propel the track along, making it a powerful weapon for the club.
‘Ritual’ follows suit and keeps the momentum up, leaving little room for a breather in between it's captivating dancehall drum rolls.
On ‘Anything’ the duo are joined by new UK talent Rex Domino, who slings a set of twisted technical bars over the moody low-swung beat, and last but not least, this percussive package is topped off by the stomper that is ‘Rough Place’, where hard drums and mechanical rhythms collide.

This release also features an intriguing piece of art created by Marco Fabri with acrylic on wood.

LTD Colours - Depths

As the ever shapeshifting Circular Jaw reaches its tenth release, they see the return of zorenLo all the way from New York, after his first appearance on the ‘Weighty Sound 2’ compilation, where he brought his unique flavour of acid inspired, broken beat techno to the table.

Coming back in full swing, he offers up two tracks which paint a story of what happened after an almost fatal mountaineering accident that only left him stronger than before.

With ice pick in hand, ‘5th Surgery’ skirts just along the edge of a techno crevasse, threading intricate melodic arpeggiators over a rocky bed of bumpy kick drums. Be careful for those high altitude time-signature changes, they will knock you off the edge!

‘The K Den (Dissociative Mix)’ brings the tone down with rumbling stomp and a heavy dose of anesthesia in the form of a tormented, off kilter arpeggio.

We've been bashing out this VIP in clubs since the original tracks release on CJAW005 Weighty Sound 2.

First out of the lab is ‘Cry Havoc’, probed by percussive elements and building on a muted acidic platform, it cries out in pain as it’s torn apart by its own momentum, only to be recalibrated by a 4 to the floor reprise right before it crumbles apart.

Introducing Pluralist (@Pluralist)

This EP comes from Birmingham based Pluralist, a fan of the label who got in contact after seeing our stickers plotted around student town Selly Oak; where the label was born. After his success releasing a contrasting 2 track EP on Shangheid records including the sure to be popular festival tune “I Like It How It Is”, Pluralist is here to show versatility in his musical tastes through his array of productions and investment in underground nightlife.

The next EP on our label comes from @Kahter aka Cameron Carter, a Bristol based DJ/Producer from South Devon.

Support from: Klose One, Madam X, Jossy Mitsu, Lamont, BethBethBeth, Vern & Milla, Dusk & Blackdown, Ganesa, Bob Sleigh, Cabasa, Werdna + more.

Coming from a musical background he has grown up performing and learning various types of musical instruments, which has stemmed and innovated his knowledge to become a creative electronic music producer. His genre doesn't sit perfectly in one category as pushing the limits of experimental bass music is his only intention by creating sounds that came from the influences of Techno, Grime and Dubstep.

In this release he explores the dark & hard hitting sounds of low end UK Bass/ Techno music delivering two tracks made for those intimate dungeon-esk low ceiling venues where weird sonics engulf dimly lit rooms.

Opening this release you’ll find two fast hitting club weapons; “Jigger” with its consistent percussion and spacious steamy pads allows for a room to breathe and be filled simultaneously throughout the track whereas “Quire” takes the more full on approach using a gatling gun effect with the kick drums, screwing up even the most conventionally peng punters standing in its path.

Today you can find Kahter in the darkest of clubs of his hometown of Bristol supplying the largest of bass heavy rhythms.

Our last release for 2019 comes from a formidable newcomer to the bass music world. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Stafford-shire originated, now London based producer Debba with a home for his first ever debut EP.

First heard via Minor Science's debut Boiler Room, this EP has an already weighty backing from L U C Y, Darwin, Madam X, Ganesa, Jossy Mitsu, Klose One & Formally Unknown to name a few. 

This debut EP is a rapturous, dense & eerie blend of UK Techno/ Breaks showcasing Debba's understanding of club culture. As he enters the music industry with these 2 flawless tracks set under his belt, we can't wait to see how his talents will reward him in 2020.

Artist Bio (@Debbauk) 
Originally born in Staffordshire’s county town, Debba relocated to the south-west of the capital only a few years ago. Undertaking a bachelor’s degree in sound production, the 24-year-old producer/DJ promptly immersed himself amongst London’s vibrant coterie of accomplished talent.

Although a relatively new figure on the circuit, the London-based producer has already made his festival debut appearance. Performing at governing UK music festival Boomtown last summer, Debba was situated on grass-roots backing, innovative music-tech company Pirate Studios’ festival stage, alongside a multitude of industry figureheads including; Skream, Plastician and Addison Groove.

After offering up a free two track EP to introduce himself in 2019, we asked Circular Jaw mainstay, now permanently branded artist Hedchef & USA based Electro heavyweight Doctor Jeep to put a spin on Pluralist’s unique tones that have found their way into club and radio sets around the globe over the past year being supported by Jossy Mitsu, Darwin, Re:ni, Freshta, Nightwave + more. 

Since joining the roster in May 2019, Pluralist has been consistently in the studio mastering his craft across singles, remixes & edits & getting his hands dirty testing & trialling his creations in & around the roots of our labels stomping ground Selly Oak, Birmingham. With 2 EP’s under his belt & a steady schedule of gigs across the UK, 2020 is looking to be an exciting year for this multi talented producer.

First up we have a nutty contortion of ‘Gallak’ from professor Rayner aka Hedchef. This remix stays true to both artists signature styles with his use of fast paced stabs, aggressive sample cuts and pounding kick drums.

The second track on the EP comes from a huge name in the game Doctor Jeep. We’re very pleased to announce a 135 Bpm Electro remix after previously surprising people with this style in his track ‘Vault Of Glass’ released in 2018 on Etch & Bulu’s label ‘Bun The Grid’.

All proceeds from this release will be donated to Music Loves Ohio & Knowle West Media Centre (Bristol, UK).

Big up for the early support from: Emerald, Addison Groove, Patrice, Hypho, Eat My Beat, Eich (More Cowbell)

Vexxe , classically trained on the compositions of Debussy, Medtner, and Tchaikovsky, creates music for sound systems, club settings, and in-home listening enjoyment. He blends simple ideas with shades of nuance to build captivating moments within his musical explorations.

‘Pulse 5’ invites listeners into a spinning pool of echoed-out bleeps scattered over a broken beat rhythm, cementing itself securely as a tool in the 130 bpm bass genre. With an extensinsive back story and the original sought after online for the past 2 years, we’re thrilled to be approached to officially release this track, accompanied by 3 remixes from artists who have been pinging our radar off over the years with their movements.

Starting us off, Spektralsound strips and slows the track down to 120 bpm allowing frequencies more space to echo over the skeleton of big kicks and chuggy bass stabs. Keeping to the original tempo, Meta donates a techy 4x4 remix keeping the pace moving forward at all times whereas Hartta replicates the broken beat elements through a skippy 2-step garage style of sampling and arrangement. The release will be begging your local bass bins for every last decibel they have on tap.

All proceeds from the release will be split between Music Loves Ohio and Knowle West Media. Music Loves Ohio is a nonprofit providing opportunities for financially underserved youth in central Ohio to pursue their passion for music by providing education sessions, after school
programs, and instruments.

The Knowle West Media Centre works collaboratively in the heart of South Bristol to develop creative models for achieving social change while supporting people to develop the skills and confidence to be change-makers themselves. Their programs include access to an innovation lab, makers courses, free professional training and workshops teaching tools used in creative fields, and various songwriting and production resources.
