Premiere: Vector Trancer - Zit'ets Mending [Mirror Zone]

On February 25th, Palms Out will release the first in a series of compilations on cassette and digital. Titled plainly: "End Broken Windows", 100% of the proceeds of the series will go to charity in an effort to raise awareness about broken windows policing methods. Specifically, I hope this project contributes in some small way to spreading the word about the ways in which policing and prosecuting low-level offenses serves only as a way of terrorizing and traumatizing vulnerable populations, without achieving the intended goal of preventing violent crime. The theoretical premise of broken windows policing is fundamentally flawed, and woefully misguided -- there is no evidence that focusing police power on low level violations like sex work, loitering, minor vandalism, petit theft, minor drug offenses, etc. leads to any reduction in violent crime. The practice must end.

Each volume of the series will benefit a different charity doing work to counteract the effects of broken windows policing; all it really does is criminalize being black, trans, queer, young, unhoused, etc. The first volume will benefit the SBB National Sex Worker Bail Fund (swopbehindbars.org/donate). Sex workers are often intersectionally and inordinately affected by broken windows policing, and should never be forced to spend a single night in jail merely for exercising agency over their own bodies.

Musically and conceptually, this record is inspired by a place where broken windows policing is disproportionately felt: the subway/metro. I gave all of the artists the vague prompt to write music inspired by the NYC subway system -- and the results were expectedly varying. For this volume, I pursued artists who have been generally exploring midtempo dance music without focus on 4 to the floor drum patterns. The result was a collection of largely breakbeat-oriented songs, some with direct classic NYC & Detroit electro references, others with more melodic and euphoric UK hardcore inspiration, and others still that kind of split the difference between modern bass and Baltimore club (for lack of better descriptors).

EYX017 welcomes to the imprint Italy-born London-based artist and electronic producer Yraki with an abrasive yet introspective post-club three-tracker titled ‘Percolate’.

Diverging from his past works, such as ‘Argento EP’, which traverse idiosyncratic sound design and dreamlike soundscapes, in ‘Percolate’ the Italian producer dives into dance-floor oriented territories and delivers a set of club-ready weapons, yet remaining true to his nature.

[EYX017] Yraki - 'Percolate' EP (Preview Clips)

C Powers operates out of a terminal running P Klang G13 creator engine on 69xo, blasting her block-rocking pig-smashing beats straight to mp3 and often in one or less takes, live direct out of Portland but globally present and cybernetically ubiquitous. CH Rom is headquartered in NYC and performs content creation with a refurbished organic matcha-truffle hybrid 96kbps system, playing upwards of 4200 notes a day.

Together they are Pump Media Unlimited, widely celebrated in the bass drum scene and known for blistering tempos reaching as high as 420, even 1213 BPM. The Pumps are at once profoundly in touch with the ancient history of bass, and yet notably 65 million years ahead of their time.

Each of their records is as much a statement as an adventure, and “Chessy!” (Itals, not quotes) is no exception. There’s something for everyone here—like crunchy vapor bass? Prefer your zipzaps with 128th note triplet hihats? Dig synth, but only vegan? Hate cops and the whole global imperial terrorstate crypto death cult? You’re listening to the right music.

cmputer Ambient Live, DHF 2024 (Percept)

Pugilist steps up on Trule with a four track EP of sound system club heaters across various styles and BPMs. From the broken UK garage of the title track, the crunching breaks of Untitled with ILK, the dubwise Junglism of Adversity with Tamen, and the techno dancehall variation of Portal. Something for all the dancers.
