Tracklist:
A1. I.M.O.K. R.U.O.K.
A2. I.M.O.K. R.U.O.K. (Or:la Remix)
B1. 12,000 Ravers

Spray enters the world, emerging with a mystically prophesied reissue from Dimension 23, the intended deliverance in 2020 a perfect 23 years after its original release in 1997. The duo, Rich and Julie, were pioneers of the LA rave scene, traversing the West Coast throughout the ‘90s - not to mention colluding with Sven Väth’s like-minded trailblazing Harthouse. The reiteration of this music today feels more relevant than ever; the compellingly raw and authentic energy desperately desired as we emerge back into club and festival spaces.

Formally released on Fuzzy Logik, The A1 “I.M.O.K. R.U.O.K.” was first written in a mere 30 minutes as a live jam and recorded straight to DAT; rough, ready and destined for the rave. Brace yourself for freaked abrasive textures that dip and soar in a sharp contrast to the rich rolling bassline, propelling the track forward into delicious repetition. Additionally, the militant rim-driven percussion and drums come locked and loaded, proper ammunition for any hot and heavy dancefloor.

Tying the anthem into further contemporary context comes a remix from Or:la, slowing the groove and shaking up the rhythm for a more sexy low-slung affair. BYO percussion and breaks, it draws upon the subtle sensual breathy vocals and delicate harmonic moments, adding a different kind of heat to the release.

Rounding out the record comes a B side blowout, originally unleashed on Harthouse, “12,000 Ravers” truly evokes the imagery laid out in its title. The rapturous outbreak takes no prisoners, with all the tried and tested crucial ingredients. The thundering kick unapologetically galloping over yet another sublime bassline, whilst breakbeats ricochet effortlessly to leave space for melodic nuance, swirling synths and soft-spirited arpeggiators. This six-minute rave hymn proves a powerful contribution to the overall release; setting the tone for Spray with an historical nod to our past and how it influences our future, the generational gap feeling like a mere blip in time.

KETTAMA - Move Like Vibert

Wandering amongst the city streets he was reminded of memories of the past when he used to run wild. Perhaps he'd been reckless and careless back then but at least he'd been free.

The man of the present was not afforded the same luxuries, instead he was trapped by the pressure of a systemic regime which had left him tired from work with little notion left for play.

Those memories were pleasant though - filled with happy go lucky sentiment from a simpler, easier, more peaceful time. Not like now...

Matheson appears on a new compilation from Belfast based record label Extended Play. The compilation see's them veer off piste - moving away from club focussed material to curate an assortment of leftfield electronics from rising stars and producers with promise.

PREMIERE: Matheson - Systemic [Extended Play]

Today we premiere a track from one of Ireland’s most talented but also under rated producers, Dan Ryan. Dan is back with another monumental self release, channelling classical musical sampling and intertwining it with symphonic breaks.

Dan Ryan is a Dublin native and has been making music for years, with some of his older tracks such as Housewerk from 2012 still finding their ways onto dance floors to this day. 

The Dublin native has been making tunes and self releasing them for over a decade. The somewhat elusive Dublin born producer was a resident at Mr.Jones in Twisted Pepper. Dans style is hard to nail down. But expect lots of vocal samples and breaks.

Dan’s track ‘Something Positive’ was a bonafide homegrown lockdown classic. The 2020 self release was accompanied by arbitrary clips, they come together to create an enlightening movement through the track. The track received massive support and praise throughout the Irish music community and within Four Four Mag too.

‘Everything In Its Place’ picks up exactly where Dan left off. The latest single is a bold and brilliant breakbeat take on classical music. A concession of spiralling strings swarm the track and create an uneasy but somewhat uplifting atmosphere. It’s an excellent use of sampling and complements the breakbeats and powerful bass excellently.

New Delhi based music producer Sublime Sound and groundbreaking singer-songwriter KAVYA’s debut collaboration emanates true sonic beauty in living colour.

‘Colour’ bridges the gap between left field electronic soundscapes with it’s intelligent breakbeats,  lush harmonic movements and Kavya’s playfully demure vocal delivery. Though a highly collaborative experience for both artists, the song takes its sound design and production language from Anhad’s musical sensibility and drifts seamlessly with KAVYA’s poetic lyrics, melody & cadence.
For Anhad, the aspiration was using Kavya’s voice and tone in a newly altered way without losing its authenticity and the flexibility of her voice inspired him to alter it in many different ways where he was successfully able to capture a fresh new perspective on her artistry and push the buttons towards making things a little more edgy. Most of the melodic parts on the song were performative takes and many of them were actually the first or the second takes done on a little synth he has called the Roland JDXi.

‘Colour’ is an alluring electronic and dance track that beautifully shapes any space it graces. Sublime Sounds transitions from a club heavy sound to a more warm, summery, radio friendly space whilst subtly paying homage to his influences of Jungle, early House music and 90’s UK Hardcore. 
Ever wondered what colours you are made up of? Well, you’re not alone.
Hit play and deep dive into a fresh new perspective on Kavya’s voice and feel uplifted!
