How does an ogre like me purchase this song?

Markham Road Records is back steering steady with atch22, Count, Rizla Ops, and Teqmun in the driver seats. MR003 finds form as a quartet of percussion providing some real bang for your buck. This release was dreamt up for quick stepping activity, and the four tracks assembled provide a wide ranging toolkit to get us all moving. Although each artist provides a unique solution, movement was and remains the underlying idea behind this third release. 

Count’s “Hexagon” opens the project up with a spaced out ‘builder’ that seems to continuously fold in on itself. The track progresses through its 4 minute lifespan with natural and intuitive progression. With its sub heavy cadence “Hexagon” seeps through the speakers, and is sure to remain reliable when used under many circumstances. 

The second track of the release rebounds in as a ricochet rhythm from none other than London based RIZLA OPS. After receiving a demo titled “voo kah” we knew it was love at first sight… and the final iteration aptly named “Cortex” does not disappoint. When asked about the track RIZLA OPS shared “The triplet snare is locked in by a big roomy kick that squares it into that tool-y club space I notice my recent productions are exploring. Cortex finds its name in the buzzy bitcrushed bass that draws from ghosty drill, loose audio jack and ASMR machinery that buries itself in the cranium.” A steady mover with a circular undertone, it doesn’t take much to get moving when this track takes over the system. 

“sexta feira” finds itself on the borders of trance, dembow, and dubstep. Besides these initial patterning queues, atch22 also employs a variety of vocal stabs and modulation to keep the track moving. After a recent move to build a studio in Strahov Stadium (would definitely suggest looking this one up), atch22 has been back behind the monitors, with this track being the first product of his new musical home. The track defines itself in the world of peak time frequencies and fluctuates through a wide range of feelings. Truly something in it for everyone. 

MR003’s concluding track takes sonic blistering to a whole new level. Teqmun’s masterclass in unrelenting percussion continues to capture our hearts, and surge through our speakers. “Stop Scanning the Zebras” is a fast paced tech heavy track centered by vocals from the producer himself. “I imagined being so out of your mind that you can't stop trying to scan zebra's like barcodes with a scanner”. This track is easy to get lost inside of and therefore evokes some sort of free fall -> an exercise in letting go for eager ears in dimly lit spaces.

We got five great artists and friends to swing things around, giving "Gravity Always Wins" by TX4 their own makeover.

This compilation brings together remixes from Nuevo Prohibido, A2iCE & BO3, Sepbtt, DJ Powerade and Matildnz.

A big thank-you goes out to them all!

All profits will be donated to support the cause of Ousmane.
So if you like what you hear, consider visiting bandcamp and buying the EP :)

https://layeaudio.bandcamp.com/album/gravity-invariably-prevails-ly01-rmx

Ousmane is a friend of ours here in Freiburg, where he came as a refugee in 2019. He first moved from the refugee reception centre in Freiburg to a shared accommodation in Offenburg. This year, he then had to move to Renchen near Offenburg. As he is doing his apprenticeship in Freiburg, this means a 3-hour commute there and back every day. Ousmane would like to move to Freiburg and friends of ours have organized a room in a shared flat for him. But as he can't give notice for his shared container room in Renchen, he has to pay two months' rent. We therefore want to use the profits from this EP to support Ousmane during this time. The overall donation target is €2000 so that he can pay the double rent for 6 months.

The donations are handled by Solitopf Freiburg.

Upward M's (Matildnz Downward W's Remix)

20 Q Vertical (Sepbtt Remix)

La sinfonía silenciosa de la existencia, es el ritmo de la vida, pintado a través del lienzo del tiempo, donde las sombras se mecen en el abrazo del crepúsculo y las estrellas hacen piruetas en la extensión aterciopelada del espacio.

Octoptic está de regreso para la tercera etapa de su evolución artística, donde Movimiento da vida a la quietud, infundiendo al mundo la vitalidad del movimiento, expresado en la cadencia de las olas que rompen en la orilla y el suave susurro de las texturas en la pradera.

Así que abracemos el flujo y reflujo, el ascenso y la caída, porque en el movimiento encontramos la esencia de nuestro ser, el ritmo de nuestro dolor y la armonía de nuestras almas.


Fecha de lanzamiento el 21 de febrero de 2024.

[PREMIERE] OCTOPTIC - Inko (Disponible 21 de Febrero x WVWV)

@gaia-formella
@baitlabel

Bait’s second VEP (Various EP) is a 4-track dive into a rather modern phenomenon: 150 dubstep, as DJs and crowds seem to be enjoying the faster bass sounds, yet broken rhythms and heavy halftime pulses. For this release, we’ve got L.A.’s rising bass-music talent Carré, who specialised in racing wobblers, and recently released her debut solo EP on her label FAW (Fast at Work). Track 2 is by UK-born Berlin-based Formella. This is the Femme Bass Mafia member’s first-ever release. The Third track is by Fast Castle label captain Gent1le $oul, also Berlin-based and pushing hybrid dubstep in the German capital with hot vinyl releases and parties. Last but not least, SPLT’s mental banger “Grill Party” that Beatrice M. happened to discover in Laksa’s Truant podcast and reached out after dropping an “ID?” comment on SoundCloud. The Lyon-based producer never misses, his tracks have been played out multiple times by Garçon and Agonis, in the continuity of merging bass and techno.

PREMIERE: Formella - dripstep (Bait)

For its new compilation MR003, Czech label Markham Road Records explores kinetic, percussive club music.

PREMIERE: Freedjom - Watch Traffic (Beat Machine Records)

Hailing from Aotearoa / New Zealand, we’re proud to welcome Oliver Prince to the HomeRun roster with his new heavyweight cut Slugger. Known for his dub-soaked sound design and raw, uncompromising drum work, Oliver delivers a track that hits with full force — all grit, weight, and attitude.

Slugger blends squelchy, face-twisting basslines with a minimal percussive drive built for sound system pressure. This is a tune that demands to be played LOUD.

More French Fries is a 15-track compilation bringing together 19 producers from all over France – from Paris to Marseille, including Lyon, Strasbourg, or Toulouse – all part of a generation that endeavours to shape the sound of tomorrow. This various artists compilation is the 10th release on our label, and we imagined it as a celebration of our scene’s diversity, a unifying mix that draws links between scenes, cities, and sensibilities.

This genre-blending selection, that stays true to Dürüm Records’ adventurous identity, in which deep textures weave connections between each track, serves up a tasty mix of downtempo hybrids, progressive flights, club-oriented sounds, and broken rhythms.
