CNPVA001 • Various Artists Compilation - @slolek
[Ltd. Edition Cassette/Digital DL]

OUT NOW: canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/cnpva001

Limited run of 25 cassettes, recorded on high quality ’Super Ferric’ tape.

“We are thrilled to present CNPVA001: a curation of boundary-pushing electronic dance music, courtesy of the extended Canapé family.

Across its 8 tracks, CNPVA001 sees some of the UK’s most inspired underground producers explore an open-ended spectrum of club sounds, true to the unbound spirit of the label.

Rudimentary jungle, garage and dancehall flavours are met with an unquenchable desire for re-invention and reconstruction; a desire that is shared so readily amongst Canapé’s community of art-makers and consumers, and is sincerely embodied in this release. We hope it brings you joy.”

Mastered by Charlie Stork at Canapé HQ.

Hailing from Tokyo, Prettybwoy stands as an emblematic figure within Japan’s burgeoning experimental bass music scene. Following the success of his 2021 album released on the esteemed Chinese label SVBKVLT, Prettybwoy makes a triumphant return to POLAAR with a fresh EP featuring two original tracks and a pair of electrifying remixes. 

London-based sound artist and producer Delay Grounds steps in to reimagine “Purify,” amplifying its sweeter notes while preserving the grit and energy of the original composition. The result is a captivating contrast that invigorates the track.

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

For their ninth release, Redstone Press welcomes Tano to the roster, accompanied by remixes from Toumba & Delay Grounds. Having all embarked on making music around the same time and connecting through sharing said music, it felt only fitting to bring them together for this release.

Delay Grounds' remix of "Blend of Poetry" closes out the EP, taking it to new stratospheric heights. Elemental staccato synths hover above expertly balanced drums and bass, reaching a fever pitch of ecstatic euphoria. Through the subtle introduction of airy percussion, the track culminates in a classic, tranced-out breakdown adorned with bright luminescent horns and pulsating sub-bass.

Release Date: September 1st 2023

Full of unusual textures and grooves and conceptually underpinned by ideas,'Sun Blind, Running On Wet Sand' is a confident statement from the young producer, tapped into a new wave of queer artists taking dance music to higher euphoric levels.

Premiere: Delay Grounds 'Sun Blind, Running On Wet Sand'

The second single of Bastian Benjamin's forthcoming album "Elixir". 
A hard-hitting melancholic electro-banger that takes you on a journey.

Transitioning between realities becomes effortless. From dusky swamps to abandoned towns, from frozen lakes to lava plains. The landscape grows increasingly saturated, the sun intensifying its heat, while plants become withered. In the absence of sunlight, darkness envelops everything in pitch blackness. Surprisingly, this darkness provides a much-needed break. The transitions between dreamscapes keep accelerating relentlessly. You’re starting to yearn for peace of mind. The world has surpassed a threshold of which there’s nothing but infinity left.
