Hence Therefore makes a long overdue return to All Centre, putting together his first release on the label since 2019. The Warrang/Sydney-based artist delivers two fast-slow stormers on Elite Panic, channeling forward-thinking production into endlessly compelling dancefloor cuts.

The title track opens with dubbed-out sirens and scattered breaks, building the tension with elasticated bass hits and rolling kicks. Rising, radiant synths lift the track to new heights, reaching euphoric peaks amongst hectic percussive patterns which envelope and intoxicate the listener.

On Zero Trust, filtered vocals bubble beneath the surface whilst infectious percussion stutters across the frequency spectrum. A bouncy sub bass punches its way amongst the percussion whilst floaty synth lines alternate and intersect, reaching new levels with the introduction of a mesmerising droning synth line, then launching back into a heavy, propulsive rhythm.

Elite Panic is available on digital platforms from February 21st.

Hence Therefore - Elite Panic [ACEN067] (PREVIEWS)

PREORDER: https://hencetherefore.bandcamp.com/album/elite-panic

'Elite Panic' is a forthcoming two-tracker by Gadigal/Wangal Land based Hence Therefore, a bouncy, melted duo of dancehall steppers. The producer, sometimes live performer & DJ has seen praise across the seas, with releases on Early Reflex, DECISIONS and 3bs, as well as regular plays by Batu, M.E.S.H., object blue, AYA, Laksa & many more.

'Zero Trust' is track 2/2 of the release. Regularly switching between half & doubletime, 'Zero Trust' is like a soft, gooey centre at the core of any good dance floor. Textured, building and unpredictable, it seems to do everything bar physically lifting you off your feet.

Of the release, Hence Therefore shared: "The EP title is a phrase I came across in Rebecca Solnit's A Paradise Built In Hell - she writes that in a catastrophe most of us get on with helping each other with the necessities of life while the rich & powerful freak out about law, order & commerce... "

& of the track: "Some string-flourishing sample from the All Centre discord server got shredded into icy dancehall groove with a randomised arpeggiator. An uncharacteristically crisp & whirring stepper developed around it - playfully wrong-footed low end, attempted snare abstinence, snare indulgence, caroline_gasp.wav, things of this nature."

'Elite Panic' releases officially via All Centre's Bandcamp on Friday, February 21.

PREMIERE: Hence Therefore - 'Zero Trust' [All Centre]

Haron – Taxa (QUEESTE005)
smarturl.it/queeste005

01 Drosera
02 Benthos
03 Pantala
04 Pincertail

Haron’s Taxa EP dips into a world of fizzing electronics and draws from it four potent club mutations.

Having explored spacious ambient on 2018’s well-received Wandelaar, the Dutch producer turns his attention towards full-body rhythms. These newly prepared compositions, the first club release on Queeste, are dappled with synthesised colour and unexpected timbral shifts, aligning the producer with global bass permutations while maintaining his own playful course.

The skittering dancefloor percussion of opening track ‘Drosera’ immediately signals this change in direction, leading effortlessly into the tightly coiled drums of ‘Benthos’ whose name is taken from the community of organisms that dwell on the seabed. In a nod to Wandelaar’s serene tones, the track ends with weightless ambience alongside snippets of human voices, a single moment of stillness on a release elsewhere defined by movement. ‘Pantala’ is pristine computerised dancehall teeming with disembodied samples and impressionistic swirls of noise before Taxa ends with ‘Pincertail’ whose bustling syncopations recall UK funky at its nimblest.

No less evocative than his beatless work, on this EP Haron has crafted his own idiosyncratic abstraction of club music, one imbued with joyful melodies and a giddy, pleasingly destabilising sensibility.

ASSUMPTION

Premiere: Calum Gunn - ASSUMPTION

In 2016, Wataru Kobayashi, known as @loopdrive, recorded the album "forged sketches", howerver, it was not officially released. Two years later, outlines released "Groove 9" – the debut cassette of the Japanese producer. It maintained the sounding of "forged sketches", keeping in touch with the tradition of Berlin labels such as basic channel and chain reaction. In 2020, as guides (outlines’sublabel) was founded, the opportunity has arrived to properly present to the audience the loopdrive’s musical evolution as well as the beginnings of Wataru Kobayashi's artistic path. 

"Forged sketches" is an album that combines dub-ridden Detroit techno sounds with the latest child of Chicago ghetto house - footwork. It is as if monochromatic chords and a minimalist pulse were mounted on a speeding footwork motorics. This resembles the achievements of Paul Rose, a British producer known as Scuba, in his albums "A Mutual Antipathy" and "Triangulation", which featured over a decade ago a visionary fusion of dubsetp and dub techno. 

loopdrive took on a similar path. His productions explore the land between fast, broken techno and the footwork rhythm. One of the most exhilirating moments in "forged sketches" is a nearly fifteen-minute long melodic suite running at 160bpm. Since "forged sketches" (2016) there have not been any footwork-inspired producers that would create such a non-obvious and original hybrid as loopdrive.

Peasant Blends is a combination of medieval music and uk club sounds, both things very close to my heart. It's a journey through dark winter months, out briefly into the sun, and then to the club. Hopefully a trajectory we will all be on soon xx I hope you enjoy it, it was lots of fun to make.
