Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS182

Mark Broom’s mammoth discography shows an artist who has put in the hours, boasting appearances on legendary imprints such as Robert Hood’s M-Plant, Warp Records, Pure Plastic, Bpitch Control, and of course Rekids. Alongside his solo work, his collaborations are an equal tour-de-force, with groups such as The Fear Ratio with James Ruskin counted as fan favourites.

Here though, Broom takes the reigns solo, drawing on decades worth of experience for a 12” of mind-altering cuts for one of electronic music’s most vital labels. Lead track ‘Fingers’ sees the British
DJ/producer toying with rubbery basslines, glistening pads, and chunky percussion to deliver an irresistibly buoyant house track. ‘Slow’ follows suit, bringing another dose of deep low end next to eerie leads and shining synthesis.

On the flip, Broom enters electro-tinged territory on ‘Wild Style’, tying unruly machines together with vocal chops over a staggered, off-kilter drum pattern. Taking the B2 spot, ‘Facteur’ sees a reflective touch to the EP as emotive progressions unfurl under robust, mechanical hits, providing a cohesive and captivating taste of the LP to follow in July.

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRM257

Crosstown Rebels present the third in a trio of EPs featuring reworks from Krust’s lauded masterpiece ‘The Edge Of Everything’. The selection of top-drawer artists delighted to rub shoulders with the revered master now adds UNKLE, Hodge and DJ Nature to a list that has seen Masters At Work, Four Tet, Damian Lazarus, Batu, Calibre, LCY and Flynn all deliver inspired re-rubs.

Linking back to a shared history that saw Krust (alongside Roni Size) remix DJ Krush’s ‘Dig This Vibe’, and also provide their own track ‘Tribetoon’ for the seminal ‘Headz 2’ compilation, both on James Lavelle’s label Mo’Wax, now the influential DJ/producer/A&R delivers arguably his best ever work under the UNKLE alias: This is deep breakbeat goodness which sounds both classic and perfectly now.

A sonic son of Krust, fellow Bristolian Hodge works ‘Constructive Ambiguity’ into a proggy new school breaks monster that carves the original’s metallic bass into sharp new shapes, whilst West Country royalty and Wild Bunch founder Milo Johnson AKA DJ Nature provides wigged-out Martian house by way of New York – which, in one of Krust’s many thematic circles – echoes the Latin-tinged, blunted science of Nu Yorican Soul’s classics ‘Mind Fluid’ and ‘The Nervous Track’.

Through a cosmic conjuring, two long lost buds came together during the extended groundhog's day of quarantine and created a maelstrom of tracks. Of course, we're talking about the already prolific @lubelski (Dirtybird, Crosstown Rebels, Desert Hearts etc. etc.) and label dad @troykurtz.

Chemistry between the two struck like a lightning bolt, and the onslaught of music poured out in a harmonious fashion. 

'Plasmatics' is the heavyweight slammer of the bunch. Buff with 100 tons of sub bass and growl, this breaky behemoth also wears a gossamer layer of modulated synths and articulate sound design for the yin to the very strong yang.

'Flight of the Pygmies' also comes correct with a flurry of drum breaks, but it's the thick and humid bassline accompanied by barrage of lush samples that'll make you feel like you're in a real life game of JUMANJI with Robin Williams (RIP you blessed soul).

'Spaghettification' might be hard to spell but it's easy on the ear canals. The guys slow things down for a psychedelic chugger complete with a massive Prophet breakdown, modular ear candy and tasty guitar licks that'll be just ripe enough for the next vampire disco.

'Afternoon French Press' rounds out the EP, and is the floatiest of the bunch. This roller has the pungent musk of a dark roast, but is a well-balanced caffeine high perfect for warm and breezy afternoon pick me up. Come for the whimsical melody, stay for the beautiful french poem.

Lubelski, Troy Kurtz // Plasmatics EP // PULP03

London producer Third Son is not one for half measures, throwing all of his passion and skill into his music from day one. Since EPs on Accidental and 17 Steps, Third Son has released his debut and follow-up albums throughout successive coronavirus lockdowns and now joins Shall Not Fade for a six-tracker that pulls no punches.

Your Face As Art is British techno at the top of its game, right from the title track’s understated build up into a big-room climax. ‘Descartes Before The Horse’ keeps the momentum, a driving peaktime minimal workout with a spongiform bassline, carrying us through into the glistening soulfulness and ear-tickling sound design of ‘Don’t Be Self Conscious’. Cocteau Twins style dreamy vocals meet the dancefloor in ‘Don’t Go Quietly’, while ‘Lesson in Stoicism’ is a syncopated percussive beat down. ‘Pygmalion Effect’ closes out the EP, a piece of ritualistic body music awash with glassy synth stabs.


Your Face As Art drops 3rd December via Shall Not Fade.

After years of thumpers and bumpers on labels such as Twirl, Love Child and Instant Replay, the erstwhile Go-Go dancer and Amsterdam club legend Lupe sashays in from the left and slam dunks us with unholy acid house thunderstorms. 'Only Sinners Survive'

His Pets debut is pounding late night tackle that sounds future-proof today but would have fit perfectly at any stage since the acid revolution. The title track is inspired, as is the whole EP, by magical TV drama consumed during lockdown; takes us straight across the leftfield with an electroclash style fusion of juggernaut acid and stark lyricism that reminds us that perfection is a delusion.

Deeper into the night we strut to strike deep mix gold on 'Den Of Iniquity' as a Lupe makes the drums sing in a slamming, Q&A style hook that will fit over any other track and wind the dancers up with its addictive and mischievous mutations. Finally we have 'Binge Dancer'. The biggest slammer of the EP, once again we're sent into a spin with broadsheet acid and the type of rattling, insistent percussion that ensures plenty of bingeing.

Handle with caution. Lupe might drive you loopy.
