@guavanoise returns to Control Freak for his second full length EP ‘The Dolphins are Back in Venice’ - a collection of 4 playful dancefloor bangers, precision engineered for the club.

Since his Control Freak debut with the ‘Lift’ EP in 2019, Guava has been hard at work in the studio. Following a move to Berlin (and a series of releases on the likes of Banoffee Pies and Holding Hands) he’s back on the label with a new and refined style, retaining the melodic flourishes of his earlier releases whilst turning his focus squarely towards the dancefloor - a perfect fit for our white label series.

As an accomplished session musician, Guava continues to explore the synthesis between digital and analog production and songwriting techniques, innovatively self-sampling his own guitar playing across the record to add a human touch to his airtight productions. On new 4-tracker ‘The Dolphins are Back in Venice’, which includes collaborations with rising UK artists @breakaleeds & @soundsofluxe, Guava draws influence from a broad range of dance music styles in true CF fashion - combining rising, trance-influenced melodies with the syncopated rhythms and bassweight of the UK scene.

Guava - The Dolphins Are Back In Venice - WLFRK002 (Previews)

The third mix in our Cabin Fever series comes from rising star @aye5ha, fresh off the back of her recent release on Control Freak as part of our Psycho/Soma V/A.

Despite hailing from across the pond in NYC, her distinctive experimental club productions are quickly gaining her a strong following in the UK’s underground club scene.

Lots of new and forthcoming Control Freak music inside from @debba01, @guavanoise, @breakaleeds, @Soreabuk, @Keplrr & @Kincaidofficial, plus CF favourites @ad93rec and @wellstreet.

@willhofbauer & @sangrevoss team up for ‘Steppe EP’ on Control Freak Recordings, featuring a remix from @discwoman’s @ciel_dj.

London-based Will Hofbauer and Sangre Voss, who’s individual work has seen them appear on labels such as Rhythm Section and Will’s own Third Place imprint, team up for the first time on Control Freak Recordings for the wonky ‘Steppe EP’, picking up early support from Ben UFO, Bradley Zero, and more.

Leading the release, ‘Pumice’ tumbles through rolling low end, crunchy percussion and an eerie breakdown for a high energy start to the A-side. ‘Flundra (Flundra Mix)’ follows with bubbling pads and speaker-rattling subs around a kick-less drop, leading into a shimmering breakdown.

On the flip, ‘June-O’ sees the duo craft a low tempo slugger, peppered with tablas, bells and eagle samples around warped, loopy synthesis. Ciel’s remix of ‘June-O’ takes the B2 spot, adding stuttering percussion, vocal chops, and additional wildlife samples to the mixture to round out the release.

@arianev has been part of the Cabin Fever family since the very beginning. Since moving to London from her native Prague, she’s become a fixture of the city’s music scene - after a stint behind the counter at Soho’s iconic @phonicarecords , she’s now one of the driving forces behind the influential @rhythm_sister collective, as well as holding down a monthly show on @balamii.

When we first played together back in 2017, Ariane played soulful, groovy house as one half of the duo Moody Food. For this mix, she’s put together a rave ready, CF-approved blend of UKG, breaks & electro, tied together by euphoric pads and sweeping acid lines that recall her earlier days as a (strictly) house DJ.

Cabin Fever: 2021 Series Mix

Glasgow-based selector @magnotdjmag has always been a core part of the CF crew and a staple at our parties both behind and in front of the decks. Her eclectic taste and knack for crate digging shines through in residencies on both @clydebuiltradio & @narr-radio, where you can usually hear her playing everything from experimental ambient to new wave deep cuts.

For her contribution to to the CF mix series, she’s turned her focus towards the club with a diverse & varied selection of dancefloor focused sounds, journeying through house & techno into euphoric jungle.

Cabin Fever Mix 005 - Mag

Syz made his debut on Control Freak Recordings in late 2019 with the outstanding Bunzunkunzun EP, showcasing a refined and unique production style which draws upon a diverse range of touchpoints from across the spectrum of UK club music.

Since then he's become a core part of the CF family, and he'll be joining us for his first proper Cabin Fever set next month at The Cause, where he joins Simo Cell & Ehua in The Garage - as part of a stacked multi-room party featuring Barker (live), Anthony Linell & further special guests TBA.

Cabin Fever Mix 006: Syz

A core part of the Control Freak Recordings family, London based artist @keplrr has built a reputation as a deft & talented producer with unparalleled attention to detail. In the wake of the widespread support for his 2020 EP ‘Reconstructed Club’, we asked four producers we have long-admired to flip a track from the original release. The result is ‘Club Reconstructed’ - a collection of remixes which distill the spirit of Keplrr’s original record into new forms.

First up, Holding Hands boss @desertsoundcolony serves up one of his signature slammers, locking Convection into a thumping four to the floor groover. Berlin-based @kondukukonduku, who has carved some of the most kinetic, angular club tracks of recent years with releases on Nous’klaer Audio, Spazio Donsible and others, provides a second interpretation of Convection, time-stretching the original material into a slow-motion panic attack.

On the flip, @syzuk makes his return to the label after 2019’s highly acclaimed Bunzunkunzun EP, applying his organic touch to Esoteric Functions with a ‘refunction’, which blurs the line between techno and 140 - packing some serious low-end and a cheeky mid-way switch-up to send the dance wild. Rounding things off, Milan’s @piezopz proves his reputation as one of the most inventive producers on the scene, repurposing Bod’s Realm into an aggy, warped & technoid ‘Doom Ragga Mix’.

The EP will also be available on our first ever colour run, available exclusively via Bleep and Phonica - limited 100 copies only on translucent red vinyl in a full-colour reverse board sleeve. As a Bandcamp exclusive, we’ll also be offering limited double packs, including ‘Club Reconstructed’ alongside Keplrr’s recently repressed original release.

Callum Asa and Jefe take the controls for the 7th iteration of our Cabin Fever mix series.

Part of the @no-rewinds collective, the duo showcases their multi-genre, diverse approach in a 70 min workout, touching on techno, garage and various strands of UK bass music. Packed full of unreleased productions & exclusive edits, plus music from CF favourites @yushh, @twoshell and our very own resident @customerdjservice.

Cabin Fever Mix 007 - Callum Asa & Jefe

Keplrr's dub-infused UK Techno sees a sprawling, hi-definition rework from the Milan DJ and producer.

Now they'd surrounded him, arranged themselves in tight ring and began circling; capering devilishly in a way that made it impossible for him to comprehend his body's relationship to its surroundings. Drunk from panic, his body staggered and his head swung around stupidly. His eyes, clouded with tears, desperately scouted out a route to escape. Until they didn't. All of a sudden he was overcome by an overwhelming sense of  tranquility; his despair was replaced by a sense of deliverance; he stopped panicking and started dancing.  Perhaps this was where he was supposed to be.

His second addition to the label catalogue, Keplrr released Reconstructed Club on Control Freak Recordings back in August 2020. Three deep extraterrestrial tracks, meticulously crafted with the crystalline sound design for which the emerging London producer has built a name for himself.

This month sees the EP reborn, this time with creative offerings from the likes of Holding Hands boss Desert Sound Colony, Berlin-based Konduku and Bristol's Syz. Also drafted in for remix duties is Ansia Records boss, Piezo, whose 'Doom Ragga Mix' layers stabbing arpeggios over 'Bods Realm' which meander under a full-bodied soundscape of abstract drone noises. Add a chugging triplet rhythm into the equation and you have a remix which maintains the otherwordly allure of the original track, yet injects a bit of mischief into the darkness. It's not one for the faint-hearted - or maybe it is - perfectly striking the balance between hostility and humour in a way that evoked Blawan's 'Woke Up Right Handed'.

PREMIERE: Keplrr - Esoteric Functions (Syz Refunction) [Control Freak]

@kincaidofficial returns to Control Freak for a main label release with the Sugar EP - 4 saccharine, club-ready weapons from a producer at the top of his game.

Drawing on an array of club sounds from trance to UK garage and the best in contemporary leftfield techno, the EP marks our most rave-ready statement yet, with percussive drum tracks and soaring euphoric pads - carefully crafted for dark rooms and packed dancefloors.

On the A-Side, Air-ism and Sugar bubble with peak time energy - a pair of secret weapons which haven’t left our record bags for months now. B1 E is a pounding, energetic 4x4 pumper, whilst Sycamore closes things out with moody, shuffling drums and powerful low end pressure.

PREMIERE: Kincaid - Air-ism [Control Freak]

Atop the hill was a tree stood all alone, it was not known how long it had been there for it had outlived each and every one who had been born in this town. Some say it might never die, a perpetual reminder of the flagrant beauty nature held in this part of the world as the rest burnt to the ground elsewhere.

It was a sycamore – a reminder that all things would grow. As the sunlight blazed down upon the hillside it blew softly in the breeze, its branches shuffling and shaking beneath the weight of an even greater power than it. See that was the funny thing about nature, you never knew when it might create a storm which would bring it all crumbling down, even itself.
 
Kincaid is set to release a new EP on Control Freak Recordings, it’s a weaving and wandering affair which meanders between leftfield bass and electronica. Highly recommended.

@awo_ojiji debuts on Control Freak for the long awaited return of our White Label series with his ‘Solidify EP’ - four percussive, wonky & propulsive club cuts, complete with a remix from label heads Customer Service & Finnaman.

Based out of Graz, Austria, Awo Ojiji has been quietly carving out his own lane in the leftfield techno & bass music world. Distinct, detailed and fundamentally genre-fluid, his oddball productions cross a range of stylistic influences and tempos, purpose built for the explorative DJ.

Early support on this one from Laksa, re:ni, Gramrcy & more - very limited pressing of just 300 hand-stamped records - don’t miss your chance to grab one.

Solidify EP

PREMIERE : Awo Ojiji - Mud [WLFRK003]

Out here in the middle of nowhere it was easy to forget the importance of human contact. For as long as he could remember this little cottage in the depths of the countryside had been home. He was as secluded as one could get, and that suited him just fine, after all you didn't miss what you'd never had. Nature and its inhabitants were his closest confidants; the sheep that roamed the fields, the bees that buzzed in his garden and the woodpecker that perched on his window each morning - they listened to his thoughts, feelings and ramblings, without expecting anything in return.

It's been over a year since London's Control Freak Recordings, the label arm of party starters Cabin Fever, shared a new record in their White Label series. Always available as a super limited run of hand-stamped records (once they're gone, they're really gone), previous contributions have come from Syz as well as Guava, Breaka and pals, and now they're firing it up once again with an EP from Graz-based producer Awo Ojiji. While the wigged-out, percussive tracks take cues from UK club music, specifically the realms of leftfield techno and bass, he manages to craft his own singular take on these UK-centric sounds.

PREMIERE: Awo Ojiji - Woodpecker [Control Freak Recordings]

@Awo_Ojiji underground export from the @Disko404 crew in the Austrian city Graz, has been a quiet favourite since catching an emergent release early on in Ronan's Eternal Ocean label. A scattering of releases hence lead to his 'Solidify' white label for London's @ControlFreakRecordings.

Keplrr returns to Control Freak with ‘Reconstructed Club’ - a collection of high-definition techno with a meticulous focus on sound design, careful arrangement, and a painstaking attention to detail.

A-Side ‘Esoteric Functions’ is a screw-face roller full of anxious, rising pads, driving percussion and an insistent sub rumble. On the flip, 'Convection' continues down the wormhole with a propulsive, hypnotic low-end throb & trickling, dissonant arpeggios. Finally, the chugging triplet groove of ’Bods Realm' rounds off the journey with hair-raising whispers and warped, dubby textures.

’Reconstructed Club’ is a call to an extraterrestrial dance floor, a catapult through the vortex - strap in for the ride.

Bristol's Yushh is a longtime Cabin Fever favourite - and whilst she initially caught our ear with her distinctively leftfield, UK flavoured productions, she's an equally accomplished DJ.

 After two releases on Control Freak, we couldn't be more excited to welcome her to the party for her first CF appearance in London at our @Syzuk record launch party on 13/12/20:

With a glimmer of optimism on the horizon, we’re delighted to announce our second V/A compilation Psycho/Soma - the first of many exciting releases for 2021.

12 tracks to move body & mind, spanning a full spectrum of UK club music - from introspective, tripped-out rollers to intense percussive workouts and frantic 160(ish) action.

To accompany the release, we’re creating our first ever run of limited edition, long-sleeve, 100% organic cotton, peta-approved t-shirts, designed by UK-based independent graphic artist Alex Vissaridis.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we released our first compilation ‘Remote Access’, which has so far raised over £1000 for the Trussell Trust.  We’d like to continue to use these V/As to support causes we’re passionate about, so a portion of the label’s profits for this release will be split between three prominent mental health charities who we feel are doing important work in the UK - Mind, YoungMinds & Black Minds Matter.
