Through a misty, nostalgic lens of long days and nights lost in front of sound systems, Soundbwoy Killah delivers his much anticipated debut album to Sneaker Social Club. True to previous drops on this and other labels, this is rave romanticism with a bite, as much viewing the good old days with a wry smile as longing for their return. Just listen to the opening strains of “Escape Velocity,” as the MC manages a sticky situation and tries to keep cool while sending the crowd on their way “in an orderly fashion.” 

As much as hardcore, jungle, acid, techno and house inform Halcyon Daze, the sonic signifiers of that ‘golden era’ of rave culture are bedded in a poignant, reflective shroud. From lingering pads to distant, reverb drenched vocal snatches, a hint of melancholy hovers over these scattered but vivid memory triggers. Reese bass has never reverberated so deep, sirens never sounded so lost at sea. 

The real art in Soundbwoy Killah’s craft lies in the juxtaposition between these languid, introspective elements and bright, sharply rendered arcs of sound that bring the music right into the foreground. This isn’t a pure exercise in nostalgia – stripped of their aggressive armour plating, a lot of these familiar elements take on a new expressive identity. Whether it’s the strafing arps in “Tom Loves To Rave,” or softly nudging the rolling breaks of “Under The Influence” into a downtempo, chill-out room headspace, Halcyon Daze proves how much mileage there still is in these battle-scarred sonic tools. 

It’s not all one-dimensionally downcast either – “Heartbeats” is a rude n’ ruff celebration of amen choppage, while “Wanna Hold U” channels the ghost of UK garage with one eye cast back to its US house roots. “All Night Long” finishes the record on a charging high, all tightly clipped tech step beats and bright synths that cast their gaze ahead with optimism. The themes of lost love and fuzzy memories echo throughout Halcyon Daze, but rather than wallowing in the past, this open-ended finishing move springs forward with purpose. One gets the feeling there’s plenty more to come from Soundbwoy Killah.

PREMIERE: Static. - Back To The Start [Moot Tapes]

As he peaks out from under the duvet, he notices shadows shift in unfamiliar ways. He immediately pulls the covers back over his face and whips his arm back in from it’s dangled position at the side of the bed. As the clock turns, each second is marked by a tick that fills the room with sound. The emptiness of the house is marked by creaks of settling floorboards and gurgling pipes, each made in inconsistent and unexpected ways. The air in his blanket sanctuary begins to feel heavy, dense from the sweated bullets, evaporated with panicked breath as the covers cling to his skin. He curls up and pulls tightly at the bed sheets. Just as he begins to feel safe, there’s three hard knocks on the door.

Delve into madness with a track by Canadian ghetto-house connoisseur Garneau. Part of a compilation by London-based label Shubzin, out on a pay-what-can basis. All profits are in aid of Youth Urban Arts Foundation, a charity that gives disadvantaged young people an opportunity to express themselves through music and art. Foot stomping bangers and a fantastic cause, what’s not to love? The track ‘CLM’ sees Garneau trying his hand at breakbeat techno, and is littered with gnarled kicks, earth-shattering bass and enough breaks to make even the most committed Junglist slow their roll.

PREMIER: Garneau - CLM [Shubzin]

There was a voice in his head, it subjected him to torment and trouble.

Each waking moment held the potential for judgement and conviction. As he pondered the city streets he began to think that he might never escape from the bitter peril and the magic lights which flashed, blinked and danced between his flickering eyes. The cloak of darkness concealed it all but hopefully soon he would be free...

MELD is a Scottish record label which has made a mark, a bass and techno orientated imprint which focusses on experimental electronics and intriguing frequencies. The latest release is a split EP which features tracks from mod-r and Alex R.

PREMIERE: mod - r - Judge [MELD]

Stepping up to the decks this week is our very own Saucebag aka Louis Tooth. As well as being co-owner of Gimme A Break, Saucebag also built Bitch Soundsystem from the ground up which has been shaking basements ever since. 

What selections Saucebag will bring to the decks is always a mystery, he has been seen mixing everything from Nelly Furtado to Gabber all in the same night and has an undeniable soft spot for donk. However this week he has stuck to some of his favourite styles, providing 45 fast and furious minutes of electro, breakbeat, and hard techno.
