NEIGH WORRIES VA 02 [MS005] OUT NOW

VA:
Perfectly timed with the opening of the UK nightlife industry, the fifth release on the Milkit label provides a VA compilation of club-ready & emotional cuts. With a focus on breaks and rave nostalgia, the release comprises of works from exclusively Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish artists.

Artist:
As an experimental producer, label owner and mastering engineer, Kevin Halliday has his creative fingers in many musical pies. Under the moniker Denizens, the Kilmarnock man focuses his energies on more industrial and breakbeat soundscapes, occasionally delving into the hardcore side of the genres.

Having released on labels such as ‘The Meaning of Rave’, ‘Archivio01’ and ‘Dark Carousel’, Kevin’s releases are always of the highest quality. With support from the likes of Dax J, Femanyst and Nico Moreno, you know Denizens is a name that means business.

The Track:
Inspired by retro, PS1 soundtracks, this track masterfully combines blissful melodies and synths with strong, broken percussion. While the melodic elements create an ethereal and airy atmosphere, the percussion cuts through with a tangible energy. The artist became fascinated with the unpolished sounds of these classic soundtracks, flipping samples in his works, creating a nostalgic yet futuristic end product. A free pint to anyone who can guess the sample

PREMIERE: Denizens - Out Of Blue [Milkit]

We premiere a track from Irish DJ and producer Mercer today, as he releases his track 'Rock Tha Party' with Scottish label, Milkit Sounds as part of their NEIGH WORRIES VA 02.

Milkit Sounds is a Scottish independent brand, homegrown in the capital of the Highlands in Inverness, while also being based in the idyllic surroundings of the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. 

Perfectly timed with the opening of the UK nightlife industry, the fifth release on the Milkit label provides a VA compilation of club-ready & emotional cuts. With a focus on breaks and rave nostalgia, the release comprises of works from exclusively Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish artists.

A previous contributor to the label and new resident for Milkit, Mercer joins up with the team once again for his second release on the label. Originally from Belfast, the now Edinburgh based producer has been into music since day dot. From growing up learning the piano at a young age and ripping tunes off Limewire and YouTube back in the day, Mercer’s taste varies massively. Once able to head to nightclubs, his taste in dance music really came to the fore, developing a taste for the culture from frequenting Edinburgh venues Cab Vol and Sneaky Pete’s.

More recently, he has found himself delving more into the UK sounds such as breakbeat and garage. In terms of inspirations here, you’re looking at the likes of Maruwa, Desert Sound Colony and L Major.

In addition to his more signature breakbeat style, Mercer incorporates a healthy dose of electro vibes to this record. Heavily featuring the classic 808 sounds, the release layers chopped up break samples, satisfyingly discordant synth lines with a driving bass lead and an array of perfectly placed soundbites and sonic elements. The track we premier today features heavy break, with the addition of a hip-house-style vocal that ties the together with a ravey twist.

Four Four Premiere: Mercer - Rock Tha Party [Milkit]

VA: 
Perfectly timed with the opening of the UK nightlife industry, the fifth release on the Milkit label provides a VA compilation of club-ready & emotional cuts. With a focus on breaks and rave nostalgia, the release comprises of works from exclusively Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish artists.

Artist:
Originally from Wales, with stints in NZ and Australia, Tom aka SDS MAX has been in the producing game for nearly a decade. With a more recent move to the Big Smoke, the half-Kiwi producer has developed more of a taste for UK sounds.
With releases on Chequered Wax, Erbium Records and Lobster Theremin, with a vinyl release coming later this year, this is an artist with a big work ethic.

“I’m a sucker for anything breakbeat heavy with a UK rave influence”. Sound-wise, SDS MAX draws inspiration from the likes of Club Grow, Sneaker Social Club and Hoversounds, all labels on the forefront of dance music at the moment.

Track:
One to be played loud, ‘Pull Up’ creates a modern sounding club cut with a generous nod to the UK rave scene. Playful, twinkling melodies, ravey piano stabs and careful use of amen breaks provide a comforting simplicity while we are kept on our toes with a big switch up part way through, bringing in heavier breaks and a gritty, rolling reese bass. The end product is a familiar-sounding track with a big energy shift to keep you entertained.

Son Orbis - Desert Casualty [Milkit]

We end the year on a high, as we premiere yet another solid Irish release, as Tomás's emphatic ravey track titled 'Bugrats' nears its release with Scottish club night, mix series and label, MilkitSounds.

MilkitSounds is a Scottish independent brand, homegrown in the capital of the Highlands in Inverness, while also being based in the idyllic soundings of the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. The brand and collective ethos is to shine light on artists from local communities and beyond, by either booking them to play at their excellent parties, inviting them on for a mix as part of their mix series, or releasing music on on their ever growing label.

Today, we feature a track from Dublin based DJ and producer Tomás, as he contributes his track 'Bugrats' to the 'Neigh Worries' Various Artists EP, which features tracks from both Irish and Scottish producers on this exciting 5 track release.

A fast-paced ball of ravey energy, as Tomás combines pounding kicks, militant percussion and a chaotic but entrancing acid line, topped off with an intelligible yet somehow chanting vocal. The track snaps you right back to a sweaty dark warehouse, hypnotized by the wavey lasers.
