On February 25th, Palms Out will release the first in a series of compilations on cassette and digital. Titled plainly: "End Broken Windows", 100% of the proceeds of the series will go to charity in an effort to raise awareness about broken windows policing methods. Specifically, I hope this project contributes in some small way to spreading the word about the ways in which policing and prosecuting low-level offenses serves only as a way of terrorizing and traumatizing vulnerable populations, without achieving the intended goal of preventing violent crime. The theoretical premise of broken windows policing is fundamentally flawed, and woefully misguided -- there is no evidence that focusing police power on low level violations like sex work, loitering, minor vandalism, petit theft, minor drug offenses, etc. leads to any reduction in violent crime. The practice must end.

Each volume of the series will benefit a different charity doing work to counteract the effects of broken windows policing; all it really does is criminalize being black, trans, queer, young, unhoused, etc. The first volume will benefit the SBB National Sex Worker Bail Fund (swopbehindbars.org/donate). Sex workers are often intersectionally and inordinately affected by broken windows policing, and should never be forced to spend a single night in jail merely for exercising agency over their own bodies.

Musically and conceptually, this record is inspired by a place where broken windows policing is disproportionately felt: the subway/metro. I gave all of the artists the vague prompt to write music inspired by the NYC subway system -- and the results were expectedly varying. For this volume, I pursued artists who have been generally exploring midtempo dance music without focus on 4 to the floor drum patterns. The result was a collection of largely breakbeat-oriented songs, some with direct classic NYC & Detroit electro references, others with more melodic and euphoric UK hardcore inspiration, and others still that kind of split the difference between modern bass and Baltimore club (for lack of better descriptors).

EYX017 welcomes to the imprint Italy-born London-based artist and electronic producer Yraki with an abrasive yet introspective post-club three-tracker titled ‘Percolate’.

Diverging from his past works, such as ‘Argento EP’, which traverse idiosyncratic sound design and dreamlike soundscapes, in ‘Percolate’ the Italian producer dives into dance-floor oriented territories and delivers a set of club-ready weapons, yet remaining true to his nature.

Stepping out of the frying pan and into the fire, eatmybeat welcome Belgian producer D-Nite to the label. He brings the heat on his latest release after previous drops on signature labels such as Erbium Records, Fine Grains and excess. This five track EP titled “Ai Amor EP” explores a variety of styles including UK Funky, Bass and a unique take on drum-driven Techno. The Liège based artist displays his production prowess with immaculate synth design and ethereal soundscapes.

We open with ”Ominous Arrival”, which as the name suggests, lures you into its depths with ghostly vocals and succulent melodies. You won’t be misled when the drums kick in and set the fist-pumping club energy, which carries throughout the EP. “Sine DNA” is the natural progression, introducing synth patterns and pads which sound like they originated off-planet, with the drums still packing that oomph. “Circular” begins to lean into the techno side of D-Nite’s musical expression, while still building from the previous tracks with new tastes and textures. The hypnotic synth lines weave in and out as the bass goes deeper…

The vibe switches as we move onto “Ai Amor”, tempting the tastebuds with its tantalising UK funky tones, whilst experimenting with bongo patterns galore – this one’s punchy but sweet, like grapefruit. Finally, the project wraps up with “Amargo” which brings all the previous tracks together in a crescendo of synth stabs, bleeps, and rolling drums.

The “Ai Amor EP” drops on April 17th on the eatmybeat Bandcamp page & JunoDownload and all other digital retail platforms on May 1st. Keep it locked!

“Violet Transmission” is a dark, atmospheric electro piece built around drifting signals, metallic percussion, and a haunting sense of distance.

Layered pads smear into the mix like corrupted memories, while a pulsing groove keeps everything moving forward.

Made for late nights, neon reflections, and anyone tuned into the frequencies between emotions.

Free download — enjoy.
