space•lab’s fourth EP comes from in-form Rambal Cochet and on Galatians Syndrome EP, he’s expertly crafted four spacey groovers which are primed for the dancefloor. On each track, enchanting atmospherics and hypnotic soundscapes intertwine with rolling basslines as crispy drums punch through layers of acid and melody. An essential for fans of prog trance.

Third iteration in OEW’s VA series, WITNESS03 brings over a fresh new quartet of heaters from another of its carefully curated cast of up-and-rising producers. Delving in the vaults of 90s rave, and spanning all things from atmospheric techno to spine-tingling bass, via electro, acid and further afield electronics.

Engaging first, CLJL flings a brick of breaksy sedition into the matrix with the mighty “System Research”. Fusing 303-emulated traction with jaw-crushing freq shifts, ruff snares and fluttering synth spirals gone astray, this one is pure woofer-busting material. Second in line, Naone “Silhouette” is an aggressive slice of dopey, bass-heavy cosmonautics, tailored to have the listener zoning out into a magnetic field of alien echoes, delays and reverbs.

Flip sides and here is LVCA and Sidd taking over your brainwaves with “Stranger” - a squelchy joint connecting the dots between Bochum Weltian spaciousness, pop-laced ethereality and a propulsive programming bound to astral project yourself into a whole other dimension. Last but not least, N-GYNN’s “Fire Rave” engineers a jagged and easy-going carnival of funkster machine talk, weird organic noises and sleazy boogie.

Back in 2021, when Volodymyr Gnatenko agreed to work on his debut album, none of us could have predicted it would be released, post-pandemic, against the backdrop of war. At the time, the 23-year-old producer from Lutsk was riding high on a string of well-received 12s for labels such as Where We Met and Animals On Psychedelics, besides local Ukraine labels such as LSS557 and Rhythm Buro. He was, between covid closures, playing live at Kyiv clubs such as Closer and Kureni, looking to tour in Europe, and spending every spare second making music.

How things change. When missiles began to rain on Kyiv, Gnatenko, alongside a few friends from Closer, hid in his studio. For a while, the bombings did not stop. But for the producer, neither did the music-making. Choosing to stay in the city, he continues to make beats, managing only to mix down between bombing raids. He changed his first name to match that of his president, ditching the previous spelling of his name because it was the same as the aggressor, “[the same as] my worst enemy, I am ashamed and disgusted that I started my career with it”. 



The album speaks of softer, easier times. A combination of rich ambience, and laidback breaks alongside loose progressive and trance-fused dancefloor tracks, this debut brings together all the strands that Gnatenko plays with. The process, he says, was exhausting and long. Yet the results are lighter, fresher. Maybe because, he says, “it is dedicated to my future wife. All the tracks are my words of love for her". Deeply hypnotic and freely moving between ideas, it feels like it was made a lifetime ago, not a matter of months. Now, it resonates with a new defiance. It is a debut with an extra layer of meaning.

Words by Jane Fitz.

Volodymyr Gnatenko - Rainalice 2LP (OYSTER38 - Snippets)

Artist: DJ Pipe
Title: The Night-Time Economy EP
Label: Global North
Cat No: GN02
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Puttanesca (ft. Hartman & Fonte)
A2. Mobile Craft
B1. Escuela De La Vida (ft. Andrea)
B2. Horizon

Following the success of their “Deeply Floored” EP earlier this year, DJ Pipe and Global North are BACK to bring you “The Night-Time Economy” EP.

The by-product of a spontaneous spaghetti-fuelled Tuesday evening up in the Sky Lounge, “Puttanesca” sees Pipe teaming up with old mates Hartman and Fonte for a swingin’ house romp guaranteed to set pulses racing [chilli emoji]. On the A2, “Mobile Craft” fastens uninhibited bass-pressure to nimble percussion and a litany of twisted vocal snippets - speeding across the surface of your eardrums at turbo-charged velocities.

Ushering us further into the Night-Time, B1 “Escuela De La Vida” is a seductive after-hours groover truly brought to life by the sultry vocal stylings of Barcelona’s finest, Andrea. The blissful “Horizon” closes things out - its buoyant bassline striding onwards against a backdrop of dubbed-out stabs, conjuring up hazy, half-remembered visions of Ibiza villa acid trips and eight-hour Hoppetosse closing sets.

Enjoy the beats and stay active… The Night-Time Economy needs YOU!
