BUCKDUN (M.I.A dub)

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

Sorry Records is happy to reunite with our friend and overall powerhouse east coast dj/producer vet PlayPlay for their latest release -- Maneuvers EP featuring an array of club-ready remixes from a global survey of bass excellence including Scuffed Recordings vets Farsight and An Avrin, Sorry Records' not-so-secret-weapon / Kindergarten fam Drummy, and Parisian producer, vocalist, remixer and dj Jaymie Silk (Shall Not Fade, Pelican Fly) !

"This EP speaks to the journey of learning how to maneuver emotions while staying true to oneself, staying rooted amidst chaotic emotions and yet embracing emotions as a catalyst for creative inspiration. Using emotions strategically without being swallowed up by them. I created Maneuvers while channeling strong emotions into something creative and club-ready." - PlayPlay

This is PlayPlay's second record for Sorry Records following last year's collaborative release PowerPlay with C Powers featuring Bored Lord and Escaflowne remixes.

Coming correct with a strain of UK informed club music shot through a US prism, Patrick Brian makes his first appearance on Sneaker Social Club with six beats that show how much space for exploration there still is within the Hardcore continuum.

Transmitting out of LA and bringing some undeniable West Coast influence to his productions, Brian breaks a momentary hiatus after a knockout run of singles on Plastician’s Terrorhythm label circa 2014-15 and occasional stealth drops on the likes of White Peach.

From the covert creep of ‘Flooring It’ to the tense pressure of ‘Cry-Baby’, the square wave bass flex of ‘Giant’ to string-stab drama of ‘Ill Wishes’, Brian’s sound is razor-sharp and loaded with detail. Crucially, the productions are agile and weighted and certified by DJ Oblig who’s caned them regularly on his Rinse FM shows.

Sounding distinct from the OG London sound while still nailing the fundamentals, Brian’s generous drop for Sneaker Social is a must for anyone devoted to the progression of Grime and Drill.

Gimme A Break Records present the debut EP from Brazilian DJ and producer ERAM, co-founder of ZONAexp and member of Tijolo Records. Following releases on Raiders, Das Booty, Caldo, ChoccyBiccy, Macro Hits, ZONAexp and a widely acclaimed self-released EP “Music Is My Life”, ERAM explores her far-reaching influences, including juke, breaks and jungle, in “High Winds”.

The EP opens with two frenetic, juke-inspired club tracks, the second of which features long-time collaborator Tabu. “Gimme Gimme” provides an old-school breaks interlude fitted with mesmerising melodic sequences and pulsating harmonic elements. Bandcamp exclusive “L0V3 S3NS4T10N” transforms a Loleatta Holloway classic into a jungle tekno anthem which caught the ears of many during ERAM’s recent European tour. Finally, Nova Cheq provides a hauntingly pensive remix of “Gimme Gimme” to bring the release to a close.
