Veteran tech-stepper Trace returns to CNVX, this time teaming up with Kid Drama and Berlin based Survey, delivering 4 chunky chuggers doused in 90’s nostalgia in the Raise EP.

First up is the title track, Raise. Kid Drama joins Trace to produce a heavyweight sonic fizzer of a bassline, guaranteed to destroy a rig (or live stream from your kitchen) coupled with a stab that sounds like it could be straight off a Lucky Spin record. This track is set to please fans both old and new.

Survey jumps in the mix on Detroit, a tense, almost Source Direct string leads before dropping into sub-heavy drums and snarling reese-like bass. Tight engineering and razor sharp sounds complete this apocalyptic stepper.

Timps is a collaboration filled with industrial oil drum hits. Angry bass waves wash over a minimalistic beat peppered with vocal edits. Attention to detail is paramount here, with a cheeky throwback edit towards the end of the track.

Old-skool intro chords to start and film-like vocal before dropping into a clash of fighting breakbeats over a subsonic bassline. As the track progresses, we hear the introduction of techno elements wrapping up the final collaboration on this second CNVX outing for Trace.

Title: 2010 Again EP
Cat No. CNVX016
Release Date: 18/09/2020

Kid Drama returns to his label for the first time this year after the well received Ideal Form EP, he continues with his trademark infused mix of autonomic and 90s tech step to create the 2010 Again EP.

Pivot is an 8 minute journey which goes against the current disposable, quick hit club style tunes of today. Drawn out like a long unfolding trip, which could quite easily be the lovechild of Matrix and Krust, the progessive bass stabs and zaps build without any breakdown over the
span of the track. A hypnotic almost technolike offering.

Bay 6 Recordings' sister label Calibrate Records continue to impress with their high-octane mix of 'rolling beats, breaks and bass', drawing for that at maximum capacity here. We've witnessed the likes of Madusea, label boss Echo Motion, Rozfresh and more crop up on the imprint, who are pushing forward and going from strength to strength with each passing release. Now, they've locked the exciting, Chicago-based beatsmith Johnathan Thomas for a cracking 2-tracker, further embedding their commitment to driving a different sound than the sonics you can find over on Bay 6. It's a supreme, educated take on the vintage sound, evidenced in all its glory on 'A Vibe', a striking ode to the junglist, breakbeat era.

Marc Renton - Signal Waves [Premiere]

Diffrent Music preps two juxtaposing cuts from label stalwart Fearful in ‘FKD’ / ‘XINF’.

Summing up 2020 in name and sound — though actually produced prior to the current crisis — ’FKD’ brings darkness and danger via urgent beat shifts and shadowy tech contortions. A bouncy step keeps things moving, but this one is all about that distorted b-line tearing through the mix.

‘XINF’ couldn’t be more of a contrast. Playful percussive rolls fill an otherwise sparse beat, while huge swells of low-end and fizzing synth tones combine into an epic, uplifting cerebral crescendo. A classical masterpiece rewired for a hopeful future.

Both tracks hint at old school Diffrent vibes, but applied from a fresh perspective not heard before on the label. Fearful’s ‘FKD’ / ‘XINF’ is out Friday 27th November on digital and limited edition 10” vinyl.
