Animalia presents the first in a series of 2 x 12” compilations… For volume one, comes Microevolutions… An homage to the label’s continued growth and evolution, a label dedicated to authentic celebrations of talented local artists. Here, Animalia returns to its roots with a release compiled by the members of Menage (plus special guests Ebbs n Flow), all compiled in the northern suburbs of Naarm (Melbourne).  The compilation showcases the various moods and facets that make up the deep yet somehow undefinable Animalia sound.  From deep techno to UK garage and everything in between, Microevolutions is an earnest reflection of the diversity of sound that makes Animalia so special.

Microevolutions (previews)

For our newest release, Animalia enters a new and exciting realm, with four fun, teched out, minimal grooves from local producer Dolly ( @dollllly ). Formerly known as Udmo, the producer made a name for himself in the local scene with a pair of beautiful ambient releases on local imprint Analogue Attic. Now has come the time for Dan to reveal his cheeky, more dance-floor oriented side, under the new alias.  Four tracks for different moods, keeping in line with Animalia's melodic flavour... all inviting a sense of euphoria and dance-floor bliss.

A subconscious inhale of precious tranquillity, Step No.4 hosts a rare and sentimental collaboration between Roza Terenzi and Australian virtuosic enigma jd. An intrinsic connection of friendship, understanding and mutual exchange of instinctive musical roots in the form of EP Third Nature. Divided by different continents, live recordings from a studio in Melbourne have been sent via cyberspace and sculpted into four genre expansive explorations, from new-age junkyard to devious dnb.

Textural research is extensively carried out through the records A side; polyrhythms galore as hand drums collide with shimmered shakers; forming tripped out tessellations. A leftfield nod to Madonna drools below the opening track, an anchor for mind-wandering timbre and chordal bliss, glorious saxophone trickles throughout an uplifting swell of suspended melodics. Constant evolution as things progress to a downtempo subterranean soundscape, A2 dropping deeper into pulsating bass, ricochets of drum cuts flickering in and out to haze out rhythmic stagnation yet maintain a complex flow. In contrast, the B side speeds soar, firstly a dreamy, steamy progressive peak timer; playful in nature yet packing a punch. The closer showcasing a sexy sinister side, dark drum and bass where pitched gongs hover and drip, rough and ready bass growls and breaks are sliced and diced with Michelin quality.

This highly anticipated pairing proves a contemporary form of analog/electric hybrid collaboration; an endless portal into groundbreakingly tweaked visions and the mergings of minds.

BP004 Command D - Clone Dialogue EP(snippets)

A1. Virtual Language
A2. Pulsar
B1. Shapeshifting
B2. Ocean Drifter

The project of Julien Huynh and Will Holden, Hybrid Man returns after releasing four spacious cuts of downtempo breaks and house in 2019. This time debuting on Butter Sessions, the tracks on Shapeshifting feel like a natural progression, equally well-crafted with the DJ in mind but with a slightly more trance influenced modus operandi.

Opening with ‘Virtual Language’, the duo seemingly nods in the direction of Richard H. Kirk’s seminal Virtual State album, inspired by the futurism and warm robotic soundscapes of the 90s ambient techno scene. Dub FX and swirling basslines underpin the stylistic make-up of the EP, sharp breaks on the title track recalling 5AM catharsis in a pre-lockdown state of loved up rave bliss. Combining propulsive sequences with melancholic pads and melodies that are as easy to grab onto as they are lost the morning fog, the pair show a talent for holding the attention of the keen listener as they might the dancer. Indeed, those already attuned to the contemporary Australian underground might recognise Holden’s name from his slower paced work with Low Flung (also previously on Butter Sessions).

“The debut LP from duo Sunflower Aquarium offers a full spectrum bloom into the electronic ecosystem. Dylan Batelic (Paper-Cuts) and Thomas Martin (Furious Frank) fuse together for a 7 track collection of low-slung immersive deepness, embodying a cycle of life via the ebbs and flows of sonic seasonal evolution. A collaboration of cyber synthesis; written simultaneously Melbourne through Adelaide during late 2021, the result a refined yet spontaneous take on dubbed downtempo through to driving dance deviance.”

Having proactively set the pace of the Danish scene for the past few years under many guises and just as many records for an array of premium labels, Regelbau spearhead Natal Zaks alias Central, aka Picture this time around, joins the Kalahari Oyster Cult fold with a quartet of fresh-minded, bouncy joints taking the classic Aarhus vibes for a trip into further hypermodern melodic grounds.

As per the artist's wish, this release is vinyl only.

CALLING ALL FRENETIC LOONS - cursed to strut on thy toes, or to point them to the sky. Has a lack of dance based activity made you weary? The deprivation of bass inflected oxygen surging thru your body resulted in a euphoric fatigue? Well rise and shine all you
Spiritually Deluded kinder, the hit parade is back, with Roza T & D. Tiff tip-toeing in with 8 tracks high in kinetic synergy and low in “bOriNGG!!”. The sound of 2 artists; serious in their intent yet blowing raspberries at the cork sniffers/snobs, obstinate to the world of industrial decay press shots + plastic ravers.

Instead they straddle the Edge of Innocence. Residue of lines once written, now your own personal tightrope. You wobble to and fro as part of a troupe of ethereal jesters, composed of Lil’ Drummer Boi’s pitter pattering on Gravity Bongo’s. Both tracks repping and following the rhythm of the ozone bounce house. With enough elasticity you’ll ^^break thru^^, experiencing Possession by momentary ascension. The weightless sensation of falling in a circle; catch yourself if you please. Such transcendence is lucrative, the Paparazzi on hand to flash and burn the retina, providing instant short-circuit delusions of grandeur. Sonically every hard knock is met with a “bOinKK!!”, illuminating the dark yet cartoonish nature of the practice - guaranteed to make u skip, achieve the perfect sly pout. You and your gang can terraform into bodacious bass-bins, and cast your personal Redemption Arc onto the ether.

Inhibitions are to be absolved, and fat kickdrums to be followed. In this hyper-informed yet unknowing present tense, who can ignore the beat based intrinsic incentive to fuck up the circadian rhythm - the music becoming a byte-based silkworm, spinning its digital silk from synapse to synapse, until your brain is a translucent cocoon playfully ricocheting, the cranium its pleasure dome. Call the drum dealer.

Roza Terenzi & D. Tiffany - Edge Of Innocence [DR004]

The Space Between Us is honoured to announce its next offering - Corner Taken Quickly - the debut EP from Naarm-based artist Al Dente / @al-den-te. The intriguing producer, who comprises ⅓ of the acclaimed Neurocrank / @neurocrankk family and ½ of Nebula / @neb-u-la, shares what is quite possibly the most positive thing to come out of Melbourne’s extended lockdowns - the Corner Taken Quickly EP. Propelled first and foremost by a love of soccer, Al Dente’s EP title pays homage to one of the most iconic moments in Liverpool’s history – fans will know. Spurred on by other influential factors, from film to TV shows – and of course, much musical digging during months spent at home, the EP is sonically metamorphosed into this warpy, wonky 5-tracker which doesn’t take itself too seriously. With a collaboration with fellow Naarm-based producer @explicitjoy and a harmoniously energetic remix from none other than Montreal’s queen of turbo, Maara / @maara, the EP is primed for the most quirky and adventurous of dance floors –  and is as bendy as Trent Alexander Arnold takes his corners.

Setting the overarching atmosphere, Little Jerry is a dark cauldron of bubbling, fizzing electronics. Foreboding pads swell and deflate amongst skittish percussion to cook up the most off-kilter opener – almost as off-kilter as the Seinfeld episode for which is this track’s namesake – if you know, you know. The Translator turns up the temperature – an assembly of oddball percussive elements which skip alongside the warpy bassline and eerie echoes of Scarlett Johansson’s iconic vocal. Tension builds amidst sinister pads before making space for high hats and the kick – a wobbly intro which steadies itself all the way to the dance floor. 

Stepping wholeheartedly into emphatic club territory, Seven maintains the air of spookiness embodied throughout the release with its snarling bassline which rolls against familiar warps and vocal splinters. Next, Al Dente collaborates with Explicit Joy on Sonic Dialogue; a bouncy, stripped back, continuation of quirky, club-oriented moods.   

Last but not least, Maara takes the power output dial on The Translator and turns it up to the maximum; generating her Transductor Mix – an electrifying reimagination of the original. An explosive end to Al Dente’s EP – in true Maara style. 

Tracklist:
1. Little Jerry
