Following her contribution to Superclásico Vol. 2, we’re thrilled to welcome Closet Yi to the Clasico family properly with Cloudborne 888: four tracks of psychedelic but focused electronics.

We’ve been long-time admirers of Closet Yi’s work – from early gems on No Bad Days through to standout releases on Hotflush, Honey Badger and Peggy Gou’s Gudu label. Hailing from Seoul but increasingly active across the UK and Europe, she’s graced booths at Village Underground, Corsica Studios and Lost Village with the best of them, and made her Boiler Room debut alongside firm friends of the label Finn, Anz, Mogwaa and Sharda — need we say more?

Written in the wake of a Chinese tour last year, where Closet “played music in some places that really expanded my vision,” Cloudborne 888 takes cues from cities the size of small countries to mountain towns like Dali, where, in her words, “the nature was bizarre.” The result is some of the trippiest, most immersive music we’ve released yet: hazy synth washes, endlessly delayed textures and percussive grooves that feel like they’re unravelling and reassembling themselves in real time.

But while it drifts and bends, it never meanders — each track carries a pulse, a direction, and a restless momentum. It’s club music built on movement and memory, tension and release, with a sense of spatial depth that opens up new corners on every listen. Rhythmic storytelling between structure and spontaneity, made for open roads, dark rooms, and anywhere else you might find yourself lost in thought.
In Closet’s words: “the piece is a reflection of movement – physically and mentally – and I hope it gives people space to zone out for a bit and wander and imagine.”

The title track is available on July 16th before the full EP is released on July 31st.

Superwave EP: 
Following up on the drops from Gyrofield and Tim Reaper, Low End Activist arrives on Best Intentions with four mutant workouts up-cycled from dormant projects and moulded into weighty, outer limits club gear.
 
Low End Activist is best known for his sizeable output across Sneaker Social Club, Peak Oil and his own LEA label, where he twists grime and dubstep structures to gnarly, tweaked soundscapes indebted to dystopian sci-fi and social realism. Stepping up to Kasra's Best Intentions label, he tries a different approach by combing back through his archives of samples and stems and piecing together tracks with a sharp, surgical intent. 
 
In a canny display of stop-start dynamics, the A side comes through resolutely moody between the minimal, eerie atmospherics of ‘Wave ’01 and the dislocated vocal trickery and half-step pressure of ‘Wave 02’. On ‘Wave ’03 you can hear the click and crunch of early days Perlon and the rudeboy swing of El B, while the drums on ‘Wave ’04 lock into the mechanical rotation of Gescom as a counterpoint to the enduring hardcore influence coursing underneath the surface of the track. 
 
Maintaining Best Intentions' commitment to fundraising, all proceeds from BEST003 will be donated to Medical Aid For Palestine (https://www.map.org.uk/)

If you’ve seen me (or some of my friends) play recently you’ll have heard these tracks - the pre-order is out today and you can download the A-side ‘Tom’s Tweaks’ on Bandcamp now.

Super happy to be putting these out on Local Action, thanks to Tom for all the help (and the tweaks). Woke up to three videos of it being played at Glastonbury which is usually a good sign.

Words from the label: 

Polytope first Polytope EP welcomes two wonder kids from the European bass music scene: the Brussels-based fa:act and Meli Mena from Paris. They have worked hard to deliver you a 6-track, club-ready opus, with a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzochetti.

 "COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" explores the depths of the hardcore continuum with a special twist from these two talented artists: 

fa:act created two dancehall-inspired bangers with his iconic touch: "Wizard Bubble" and "Breeze and Riddim". 

 Meli Mena has produced two high-energy club gems with break influences and IDM resonances: "Hot Girls Get Sad" and "SideQuest Nap." 

 They both released the already famous 140 bpm club anthem "Dust Drip," which has destroyed many dancefloors all over the world. 

All these tracks got the Maoupa Mazzocchetti special analog treatment; he also gifted us with a strong remix of "SideQuest Nap" from our dear Meli Mena.

PREORDER: https://echotrainer.bandcamp.com/album/ech011-dharma-rats-flying-brick

Ōtautahi/Christchurch label Echo Train Records returns in 2025 with the release of a double single by Social Sport, his first since the alluring 'Lora/Lexa'. 'Dharma Rats/Flying Brick' is a dive into the producer's forward-thinking approach to electro, techno and UK bass.

'Dharma Rats', featuring label cohort Shli, is a pulsating, drum-heavy heater sure to electrify any floor. 

Of the release, Social Sport shared:

"I didn’t have any reference point for these tracks, the inspiration was more of an image than a sound. I wanted to capture the static electricity of a dark, crowded room, everyone locked in to the flashes of white light.

The first track features a cerebral vocal chop from Tim (Shli), lifted from an unreleased idea we made together about five years ago. Our tight-knit Ōtautahi bass scene is always a subconscious backdrop for my work, so having Shli on the release felt like a meaningful way to close the loop."

'Dharma Rats/Flying Brick' releases via Echo Train's Bandcamp this Friday, August 22.

PREMIERE: Social Sport x Shli - 'Dharma Rats' [Echo Train Records]

Magugu & Le Motel - Bitter Better

A forward-thinking statement from one of the most exciting voices in modern bass music, Kendu blends warm breaks and fat bass with this cyberpunk-tinged atmosphere into his own unmistakable sound which we have fallen so in love with.
