In the wake of a weighty mix series and a sell-out Bristol show, Sudo Sound are here with another killer EP. Take the Lead is a well-matched pairing between a rising label and an established name - none other than Chord Marauder corner stone Jafu

Whilst the Canadian artist has worked with the likes of Geode, J. Sparrow, Kodama and Congi, his personal discography bears enough merit alone to cement his name in the scene for good.

Take the Lead comes a year after Jafu’s 26 track LP Stack City (Chord Marauders) and carries the same originality and sonic dexterity whilst leaning more towards the firmly dub-oriented feel that Sudo Sound has been championing in recent years.

The EP exemplifies Jafu’s ability to artfully present playful melodies, radical drum patterning and far-out sonics without pretence. Melodic progressions are anchored to head-nodding percussion and smile-inducing licks – explorations in sound that carry a modern edge whilst paying respects to the techniques and experimentalism typified by dub music’s originators.

Hey there, Gabe here.

I just wanted to speak on what I've been up to with my project. I made a path for my own music with the help of Dem Deya Sound System over the past few years and have made some great friends along the way. This mix embodies my approach when I get to play music out live and I think there is no better way to have you listen to me than in this form. 

I have seen a turn in the scene, where the bad players in the mix are finally being pushed out. I'm thankful that we are collectively looking away from the egomaniacs, and looking deeper into the music. As someone who doesn't see a profession in the sound, I am excited to see that the love is sometimes all we need to push forward.

Be mindful, seek out music that moves you, and look to your friends for inspiration. I promise, that's all you need.

Big thanks to @scarienofficial, @redpeaksound, @bleakwinter, @colorblindmusicgroup, @bhumprecords, all the emerging US sound systems making an impact on the scene, and the endless others that have given me the drive to move forward.

I will follow this mix up with others, ranging in sounds and genres, all presented in my own style. My goal is to play out this music so you can hear me behind the controls, without me even having to say a word. This is for 🫵 YOU 🫵.

With much love,

ELEVATOR MUSIC [FREE DL]

Kapsize 014 - Asa & Sorrow - Legadary EP 

1. Asa & Sorrow - Untitled

HAVELOCK ‘Chamber’ EP
Release Date: 16th February 2018
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN008

Having thus far mainly featured as a guest on music released by long time supporters Ivy Lab, the Chamber E.P marks the first solo excursion for 28 year old Nick Jackson a.k.a Havelock; arriving via the same 20/20 LDN imprint that housed all of his collaborative work.

Featuring a span of BPM’s and aesthetics ranging from knocking 808’s to papal-inspired Jungle; the project makes for a relentlessly bleak and unsettling listen - featuring guest appearances from 20/20 mainstay Deft on the track “Chimes”, and Bristol-based instrumental grime producer Hi5Ghost with his remix of “Graphics”.

Born and bred in London, Havelock has been quietly honing his production for almost a decade, branching out from his initial explorations in minimal drum and bass into territory closer in complexion to noise-scene abstractions and alt-hip hop.

Having cut his teeth DJing in clubs and bars during his stints in Amsterdam and Leeds, he went on to found the Buried Audio record label, responsible for releasing music from acts who would go on to become celebrated actors in the bass music landscape. Sitting in the same lane as a small cohort of pioneering outfits such as Darkestral & Exit Records, Buried audio went onto release some of the earliest works from artists such as June Miller (Ram Records) & Nick Modern (Metalheadz/Tempa)

It was only after wrapping up Buried Audio and returning to London that the Havelock alias was born; his focus turned to producing music that encapsulated an increasingly far-reaching taste in obscure underground electronica. Drawing on influences from ambient, metal and abstract hip hop, his sound is loosely engineered by design and paints bleak landscapes with a tangible rawness and innocence.

Tracklist:
1. Graphics
2. Chamber
3. Chimes (with Deft)
4. Fiction
5. Graphics (Hi5Ghost Remix)
