Pretty Sneaky is a master of the non-linear, polyrhythmic groove, fusing UK bass and dub reggae roots with a minimalist electronic perspective. After releasing six 12inches on the Pretty Sneaky label, April 2021 saw the release of the first ‘Pretty Sneaky’ LP, a concept album of sorts fusing dub and free jazz dynamics with field recordings and a minimalist aesthetic approach.

Trait [Time Is When, CD-r 2017]

Written by Berlin-based producer Linus Nicholson, aka Ausschuss, 'Room1' is a decidedly sci-fi take on electroacoustic experimentation — a grainy exodus into wistful neoclassical compositions and data-moshed found-sounds. At times the EP calls to mind Mica Levi’s Under The Skin soundtrack with its icy and foreboding soundscapes. Opener ‘Drown Later’ begins with caustic splashes of ambience, skittish percussion swaying to and fro lazily. Then there are tracks like ‘Blinding Partner’, a looming and sinister presence full of windswept drones and howling incantations.

With the release due on November 2nd, the Milan-based label generously offered up an exclusive preview of title track, a head-spinning mesh of granulated chimes, undulating low-end and gravelly atmospherics.

For the latest edition of our podcast series, it is our pleasure to present to you this beautifully crafted mix by fellow Berlin party starter Caroline Whiteley. Whilst usually leading the dance at Fluff or Scrub Club, Caro chose to go a slightly different path here by sharing the more mellow and introvert side of her sound palette with us. Time to zone out, forget the worries of the world and enjoy this hour of pure ambient bliss!

I am very happy because these days I have been listening to one of the music that most attracted me years ago. After high school and saturated with listening rock, I began to be interested in jazz, becoming a super fan of the genre, especially funk jazz from the late 70's and early 80's.
Now again the funkiest scene has resurfaced, especially in London where it have great bands that are making fabulous music. 
Here you can find some of the pieces that I liked the most, all the tracks are edited in the spirit of the beatmakers compressing many songs in a short time. I hope you enjoy and my apologies to all who miss the parts i cut. :)
