Attention all those in need of a UK funky fix – Tribal Brothers’ LR Groove is back on his own Renk Groove label with a five-track special poised to wreck the dance. The Cantankerous EP is headed up by ‘Nuclear’, a war dub built especially for a b2b DJ set featuring the mighty Troublesome shelling down in his inimitable toasting style. 

A dancehall MC who got his taste for the studio in Trinidad and in Jamaica, Troublesome found his voice working with the likes of Daddy Noddy in Brixton and has since gone on to a two-decade-deep career taking in garage and jungle as much as Jamaica-rooted sounds. LR first clocked him on a white label Huckleberry riddim back in 1999, and when an opportunity arose to have Troublesome throw down on one of his war dubs, he jumped at the chance – ‘Nuclear’ is the right word for the end result.  

As one half of Tribal Brothers, working with the likes of Scratcha DVA and DJ Polo and dropping the heat on labels like Livity Sound and Nervous Horizon, LR has more than proven his worth in recent years, but his legacy reaches back to the breakthrough years of UK garage. The decades of dedication shine through in the versatile club weapons he crafts on Cantankerous EP, where the foundation of sub bass and stripped-back, crooked grooves act as a springboard for the LR Groove sound. It’s a style which responds to the cross-pollination happening across UK club music, as the influence of amapiano, footwork, gqom and dancehall all feeds into a razor-sharp style steeped in flair, and there’s space for the drama of techno as much as UK funky’s upfront drops. From ‘Middle Finger’s teasing tension and epic synth sweeps to the raw bleeps and nagging drum pressure of ‘Clap Back’, this is an EP loaded with neck-snapping gear that sits comfortably across a whole range of scenes in the current UK club music climate.

Cantankerous

PREMIERE: LR Groove - Middle Finger [Renk Groove]

Site-██, deep snow and high-altitude mountainous conditions. “Maul Rheo” repair/destruction cycle is internalised but maintaining a safe distance was necessary to avoid triggering its violent programming.

“Maul Rheo” appears to possess an amorphous body capable of self-repair and self-modification. Discovered in the ███████ Mountains. The entity exhibits a perpetual cycle of self-inflicted violence, leading to continuous destruction and reconstruction of its form. This cycle is believed to be a result of its original programming, its behavior suggests a programmed directive, compelling Maul Rheo to engage in intuitive violent behaviors. Future research should endeavor to trace a genealogy of violence.

Body is composed of an unknown metallic alloy, showing properties of both high durability and malleability. During its self-destructive episodes, body parts can be observed to tear, split, and then reform. The process is accompanied by the expulsion of a black oil onto the white snow. This substance quickly solidifies in the ice.

Encounter with Ziyiz:

An interaction between Ziyiz was recorded on ██/██/████. Ziyiz attempted communication with “Maul Rheo” using a series of synthesized electromagnetic propagations. This interaction led to a temporary cessation of “Maul Rheo’s” violent behavior, but it’s internal directives could not be dissuaded. Further research into the effects of acoustic frequencies and speculative technologies on programming is recommended.

PREMIERE: Ziyiz - Illusory Volition [REMADE]

Vief’s next fundraiser compilation, as voted for by the 14 contributors to the release, is raising money for Palestine Solidarity Campaign to aid their work in building public support for an end to atrocities currently taking place in Gaza.

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7th October 2023, the disproportionate response by the Israeli armed forces and government has led to (at the time of writing):

• At least 31,923 people killed, of which more than 13,000 are children (Al Jazeera)
• The destruction or damage of more than half of Gaza’s homes (360,000 residential units) (Al Jazeera).
• ‘Catastrophic’ levels of hunger for more than 1 million people and an ‘imminent’ famine in northern Gaza (the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification).

On 26th January 2024, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take “immediate and effective measures” to protect Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from the risk of genocide by ensuring sufficient humanitarian assistance and enabling basic services. Amnesty International and Oxfam have accused Israel of defying this ruling.

“Israeli authorities are not only failing to facilitate the international aid effort but are actively hindering it. We believe that Israel is failing to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide.”

Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam Middle East and North Africa Director. Oxfam.

It has been heartening to see the volume of fundraisers in the dance music world for this cause, and we all really hope you like the tracks in this release. Any support will be very much appreciated!

After a short hiatus at the beginning of 2024, we couldn’t be more excited to return to the digital series with it's fourth addition, courtesy of Newcastle-based Lace Atone.

The vocal sample in the title track, 'Beacon', features snippets of Joe Strummer's iconic wolf-like calls and creatively incorporates his in-between interval breaths from The Clash's post-apocalyptic anthem, 'London's Calling.' With Lace sharing, “The whole 'London is drowning' still resonates and holds true today."
