In:Most - Back To The Sun (feat. Ruth Royall)

England born, New Zealand resident Maxwell Sweeney has been making music over the last 10 years in a range of genres and styles, under a few different aliases. He first came to our attention with some impressive demos that culminated in his first 2 track single on Soulvent titled ‘Vector’ back in 2017. Since then, Max has not wasted a second, racking up 5 standalone releases on our own imprint as well as releases across Terra Firma, Fokuz Recordings, Shogun Audio and more. In 2020 he started his own label ‘Music Monika’ to house some of his own material and he also began releasing music as a duo, with his good friend American producer & cat enthusiast Akuratyde. However, when ‘Fly To You’ landed in our inbox, it was clear this was a one-way-ticket to the stratosphere. 

‘Fly To You’ is a beautifully crafted roller of a track, opening with a bubbling sequenced synthesizer and a moody tambourine which are quickly joined by a tight jungle break and a gorgeous Goldie-esque vocal. The pounding bassline and myriad of other pleasing bass elements  throughout the track are only matched by the viscerally progressive percussive work. 

Set for release on the 16th of July, we strongly recommend that both frequent fliers and first timers alike set their body clocks to acclimatise to this absolutely aerodynamic release.

Jamezy - Mind Control

Dorset dweller Lawrence Bachell, better known as Vektah, arrived on our radar with his debut self-released single ‘Fire In Your Eyes’ in February 2021. It received solid support from new blood including Charli Brix and Levela alongside heavyweights such as DJ Marky. His introduction to the Soulvent fanbase came just 3 months later, on the first edition of the ‘Tonics’ VA EP series with ‘Request’. These accomplished productions quickly had us pining after a more substantial release, and after nearly 12 months of hard work, we’re incredibly excited to present his first 4-track EP titled ‘Culture Shift’. 

Kicking things off is ‘Escape’; opening with shimmering synths, calming chimes of marimba and heavily processed vocals. This sense of calm is short lived however, as we’re suddenly drop-kicked by huge roars of rave-rallying bass, the kind Vektah is fast becoming known for. This wobbling amuse-bouche is a flavourful opener, and is sure to cause quite the commotion down at your local discotheque. 

Next up, we’re treated to the rousing strings of ‘Solar Flares’, which are quickly flanked by a bleeping arpeggio, articulating a nice juxtaposition of organic and digital elements. The driving, powerful bassline is reminiscent of the late 2000’s, and this is the standout dancefloor track on the EP, which we hope to hear plenty of this Summer.

The penultimate tune, aptly named ‘Tension’, is a ball of moody energy from the get-go. A keen sense of foreboding quickly develops, as the bubbling, acid-infused arpeggio grows in intensity. 
Its weighty-drop seemingly comes out of nowhere and is ripe with wide rides, swathes of bass and a palpable sense of sonic space. 

Last up, Lawrence links up with long-time friend, first-time collaborator SKG for ‘Humdrum’ - the most decidedly liquid offering on the project. The swirling atmospheres of the intro pave the way for a dreamy first drop and its intricate half-time drum pattern. This is quickly followed up by seriously high energy, think-break laden drums that provide perfect foundation for the swelling bassline, delivering serious Dawn Wall type vibes.

One thing that is clear, is that Lawrence’s trajectory bears no signs of veering off course, if this varied 4-track wonder is anything to go by. Get some culture in your life, available in all good stores from 30th July.

Document One – Chasing Stars / Get Da Funk 
Beatport 9th Sept // All Stores 23rd Sept
All Stores: https://Technique.lnk.to/CStars
iTunes:http://smarturl.it/TECH139

To say that Document One “defy categorisation” wouldn't quite get across the whole truth. For one thing, it's a cliché, and to use a cliché to describe their brand of gritty, smoky, jazz-inspired, funk-infused dancefloor D&B just wouldn't be right. After all, they steer well away from cliché in their music, what with their expert melding of the light and the dark, the natural and the synthetic, the laid-back and the crowd-hyping. They've created their own category, and the two tracks on this release are here to stretch the limits of it a couple of notches further. “Chasing Stars” is the sound of effortlessness. 

Two different flavours of drum, the techy kick and snare plus the loose cymbals and fills, roll alongside each other in the intro. Meanwhile noodling keys and the eponymous vocal riff create a gentle head-nodding vibe. Then, without breaking a sweat, Document One call this casual jam-session to order, with a grimy bassline that weaves the whole track into a tightly-knit roller. This is dangerous rave material that you don't see coming. 

Then “Get Da Funk” goes one step more groovy. Yeah, groovy. That's the word for it. Horns and acoustic drums lay down the vibe, then a Motown-style vocal soars over the top to build things up. Then the drop gives us quintessential Document One, as bass and iron fist drums create a rhythmic combination with vocal and horn stabs that is absolutely irresistible. An ice-cool breakdown with added blues guitar gives the opportunity for even more hype in the second drop. 

These tracks could easily be onstage recordings from some ultra-slick band. The deftly expert programming doesn't detract from the feeling of live energy that Document One manage to get in their music. Like the best jazz or funk acts, it's the sound of accomplished technicians letting loose and having some fun. And while they're having fun, the ravers are too. This is D&B as only Document One do it.
