BSC002’s debut EP from 9TRANE came shattering through with an installment of hard, stripped back UK Techno and Bass with great response from the community. Basilica now moves deeper and darker into the realms of heavy and complex percussion based dance music, with this installment, BSC003. Coming from Australia, Basilica’s newest family member - Lithe.

Lithe is quickly rising the ranks with a signature style combining complex hardware percussion rhythms creating rolling and sharp grooves layered with dark techno ambiences and spaces.
The Not a Pessimist EP is a journey of intensity, rise and fall and journey. The pace of each track is set from the get go yet as each piece progresses you find your body moving, changing and rising and falling with each subtle element added and taken away so smoothly it hits you on a subconscious level.

Lithe’s sharp and relentless percussion work engulfs you with push and pull, energy, space and power and, in turn, transforms the listener by hypnotically grooving through the flawless percussion, combinations and strength.

Lithe's work has gained attention and support from labels such as Early Reflex, Flood and Enhancer. Expect to see much more of Lithe both in Australia and worldwide.

Sharp, pounding percussion, with layer upon layer adding more vibe, more groove and more rhythm into this web of heavy driven sound. Drawing for a mixture of sonic textures from dancehall grooves and hardstyle synths this unrelenting blend of drums and atmospherics fully entrances you in a mesmerising plane of sonics. This is definitely one to lose yourself in at 3am.

Modern Collapse - Rush

在FINAL有你從來沒有聽過的音樂，也有你耳熟能詳的音樂，充滿實驗性但又不失趣味。 

At Final, there is the familiar and the unexpected; the entertaining and the experimental. 

這裡是每一個躁動不安靈魂的歸屬。 

At Final, there is a home for all the restless. 

在音樂上我們嘗試不同的可能性，試著打破類型限制與規則，很多時候我們會搞砸，但每當我們完美抓到平衡的時候，是世上最美的事情之一。 

At Final, we strive to create new possibilities. While we screw up sometimes, when we get it right, it's pure magic. 

它帶給了我們希望與絕望，賦予痛苦與喜樂，但能因此碰到很多志同道合的朋友，人生本不就如此？ 

This pursuit brings us a lot of hope, pain, and joy. But in this struggle, we are able to meet many like-minded friends and build a community. 

張合輯收錄了五位跟我們有著緊密關係的音樂人，代表FINAL的聲音，獻給台北。 

This compilation is dedicated to Taipei. Inside is the work of five artists who are very dear to us, and who represent the sound of Final.

BABA SY (@babasy) and 3xOJ (@3xoj) release a new piece of music called - SATHIE - that denounces state thieves. It is a scream amidst material and cultural plunder. It is an observation of a sad reality that confirms that as long as our governments continue to steal from us we will continue to emigrate to get what we lack at home, since our goods are constantly up for auction in the West, if you stole from us yesterday, you steal from us today and you are going to steal tomorrow, then what is left for us to live with?

The CRTTR-CLB series carries the vision of exploring different ways of challenging the notion of club music. For each release we want to bring together four artists who have somehow given us a glitchy feeling on the dancefloor, while digging or in any other listening situation. We’ll be releasing a new track every friday.

So go ahead and listen to the fourth batch of freshly made tunes from the following lovely artists <3<3<3

Noria Lilt - Waving Flags

New EP from @kioskk—a Warsaw-based DJ, producer, and founder of the 00effort label.

Across three original cuts plus two remixes from fa:act and Le Frit, the EP merges bass, techno, eco-grime, and baile funk into an ever-shifting soundscape—somewhere between ritual futurism and peak-time club euphoria.

Joining the NHS team is Manchester’s own Avernian, whose presence amongst many other contemporary electronic music producers has shone brightly through a slew of releases on Daniel Haaksman’s Man Recordings, Scuffed Records, Row & Circular Jaw; a refined synergy of worldly instrumentation and modern mechanical sounds characterized by oblique rhythm structures defines his works. His foray into the NHS realm comes in the form of ‘Ripper’ – a battle-ready EP that encompasses the stages of conflict through rolling drum work and thunderous atmospheres.

We are called into battle with the title track ‘Ripper’ whose namesake suggests a sense of tearing and viciousness. Commencing with the ominous gong that swims through the emptiness at the beginning of the piece, we are immediately crushed by the monstrous kick drum sequence that dominates the mix of delicate distortion on the hats and mid frequency African percussion guiding it forward.

Following on is ‘Tornado’ taking a much more-fuller, bolder approach to the quality of the soundscape. Still carrying the same focus on rhythm primarily, Tornado chugs along as the 4x4 kick pattern carries the polyrhythmic force into the eye of the storm. Double time tabla keep the furious pace spinning around the outside of the intricate structure of this anarchic clash personified.

Taking the relentlessness of Tornado, Glacial Industries affiliate ELLLL expels the track into the nothingness of space with an exercise in low-end mastery. A distinct lack of high-end sounds, complex, rumbling sub bass hooks and its hammering rhythm help create the haunting mood on her reinterpretation of Tornado, an ideal soundtrack to the aftermath of the devastating storm.

Our last stand is not one that we take on alone; Avernian is joined by Cressida on ‘Canary’. Breathy risers maximise the forcefulness of the rhythmic madness on Canary. Rough, distorted smashes and crashes, much like that of the metal of swords and shields engaged in conflict, maintain the constant energy of the ensuing struggle. A powerful conclusion to the EP, though the war carries on.
