Tom Frankel and Dayne Harper, founders of the record label Council Work and purveyors of British underground dance sounds, make their debut as duo Frankel & Harper on Time Is Now’s white label series. They serve up five killer cuts of explorative bass-driven production.

The EP opens with ‘Track & Trace’, a smooth but high intensity roller that never gives you a breather from the heavy sub bass. The breaks that hit after the drop push the momentum for the rest of the record. ‘Ultraheat’ features clever chopped up vocals and bubbling effects that create a skippy, upbeat shine to a forward beat that would be at home in the dark of the club. More clubwise production on ‘Every Grain of Sand’, where echoed samples give a cavernous space to the track which is filled by shimmering arps and the low-end rumble of bass, real late night business that rolls into ‘Heinous Fly Trap’s classic heads-down garage sound. Shuffling house energy meets two-step on ‘Magnolia’, bringing the party energy for the record closer.

Time Is Now White Vol.7 drops August 20th via Time Is Now.

TINWHITE007 // Frankel & Harper - Time Is Now White Vol.7

Council Work founders Tom Frankel and Dayne Harper have been bubbling up through London's underground circuit with their unique take and varied influences; all the way from UKG to house, jungle and hip-hop. Over the last few years the pairing have been prolific, releasing records on Oldivibes, Fraise LDN and a string of free downloads and EPs on their own forward-thinking imprint; never becoming solidified with any one sound, yet carving a distinct and audible palette. Now the London duo drop some not so obvious garage in one of their most dynamic releases yet. 

‘Tortilla Flex’ shimmers through the speakers, understated and oozing with class. Neon painted stabs effortlessly skip through shuffled grooves and polished bass; giving the track a classic touch mixed with the flavours of contemporary UKG. On ‘Hydraulic Temperature’ the duo power through dubby stabs, warped melodies and a bass-line as smooth as melted butter - providing a fresh and elusive rhythm as the A-side comes to a close. 

Just like diamonds, conditions of intense heat and pressure formed an absolute gem of a tune as the B-side begins to spin. ‘Under Pressure’ is a visceral listening experience driven by pure emotion; elevated, tough and one of those special B-sides you never knew you needed. ‘Sessil’ brings things to a close with its acid tinged leads and crisp claps nestled amongst shuffling grooves - resulting in what feels like a hazy ride through the outer reaches of UKG and beyond.

After getting a new mixer and my technics upgraded and serviced, it would be rude not to continue the 100% WAX mix series! So here is the first instalment of 2022. Starting the year with just over an hour of some of my favourite UKG records, dug out some serious gems for this one, and managed to find a few saucy blends with some percies. Mostly slabs from that golden era from around 97-99, couple slightly older and some newer bits. Personally some of these, especially the Chris Mack bits are some of the best Garage riddims out there in my opinion. One for the heads! Enjoy the ride 💚

The Upbeats - Beams (featuring Joe Dukie) (Monty Remix)

Edition of 300 vinyl:
https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/in-the-shadows-ep

Representing Jersey next up on our Time Is Now white label series is one of UKG’s most exciting up-and-comers who brings some serious ruffage whilst paying tribute to his Turkish heritage through melody and instrumentation.

Having recently collaborated on a weighty dubstep number with Riko Dan and TIN family members, Daffy & Soul Mass Transit System, Dominus has already established his place amongst some of the scene’s most widely-recognised names. It’s clear to see why. In The Shadows EP brings to the table five full-bodied UKG bangers, one with a unique twist which in particular sets his production style apart and pays testament to his experimental prowess. 

‘Sultan’ takes its stylistic inspiration from traditional Turkish worship song, translating in Arabic-inflected vocal wails and instrumental percussion, and giving an exciting taste of what’s to come in his forthcoming material. With a warped bassline and wub galore, ‘On Fire’ is sure to be heard in DJ sets across the country, whilst ‘Sweet Enough’ sees Dominus team up with close compadre and Aussie stalwart, DJ Sunroof, on a similarly naughty number. Finally, antagonistic vocal chops prewarn of ‘Psycho Blud’’s fierce tone, later remixed by one half of illustrious duo Frankel and Harper who injects an infectious 4x4 rhythm and brings the EP to a rapturous close.


Time Is Now White Vol.19 drops 29th July 2022 via Time Is Now.

In celestial mechanics, an orbital resonance occurs when two orbiting bodies exert a regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually due to their orbital periods being related by a ratio of two small integers.

Producing for over fourteen years, Florian has become known for his deep, grooving powerful techno. His productions are characterised by his love of analog, which represent his true signature sound.
As a DJ, live performer, studio producer and sound designer, Florian has over the years established an impressive producing base for himself in his Berlin based Riverside Studio complex with an exciting hardware set up including Modular Systems, an analog mixing desk as well as classic machines like Roland 909.
Orbital Resonance was produced on his hardware and modular equipment, which he has also been using to produce his upcoming album, which we can expect to hear early 2016.
