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.

Based in Brighton, @parryy is a music producer, sound designer, and DJ who fuses together a hybrid of UK club sounds with his own field and bird recordings.

Bird song forms the basis of inspiration for his music, and pairing this with his love of software plugins, hours are spent creating completely new sounds that spark initial ideas.

Debuting in 2022 on Scuffed Recordings with his collaboration with fellow Brighton producer Tamlin on the breaks-focused ‘Rush’, his first solo EP Ashdown / Wren moves his sound into a different direction.

Ashdown takes the form of a UK-techno-inspired roller, with dense rhythms and percussion throughout. The B-side titled ‘Wren’ brings the BPM down with its ethereal pads and dancehall-inspired rhythms.

12 years since their original limited vinyl-only release, Pinch has re-mixed and mastered his deep, dark and deadly Swamp81 tracks “Croydon House”, “Elements”, “Retribution” and “Get Out Of Here”. Now presented digitally via Pinch’s own Tectonic label, these 4 club destroyers are joined by brand new remixes from the legendary Shackleton and rising star Adiel.

If you missed these tracks the first time around - and there’s a good chance you did - now is the time to catch up on some of Pinch’s most critically acclaimed tracks.

Woozy’s annual WZY.5 compilation summit gathers for its fourth instalment, celebrating 9 artists of dubwise disposition that maintains the label and its founder EMA’s spellbinding tradition in futurist soundsystem music. No Sir, Maude Vôs, Jossy Mitsu, Chewlie, Beaabea, Mantra, Introspekt, Ila Brugal and Honeydrip all feature for another bumper showcase of ambitious club sounds.

WZY4.5’s welcoming address looks to No Sir’s Dilate, an elastic-shock of icy swagger that rudely snaps under the serious sub pressure. Maude Vôs’ Faerie Ring gurgles with psy-eye wonder amidst its half-time hypnosis, before the chromatic piston-breaks of Arena bounce around Jossy Mitsu’s irresistible kinetics. Chewlie’s Blaze Of Sobriety is a crooked stepper of wide-eyed abstraction that swivels on an addictive head-nod lurch, while Pixelate’s taut trip through Beaabea’s stern kick-drum ballistics offers some dastardly club drama. Mantra then signals the rave siren, meditating on a percussive half step before igniting the jungle (dub) tekno fervour of Bedrock. Introspekt’s naughty 2-stepper Digital throbs in a see-saw of LFO menace and crisp swung-drum mechanics, before Moth’s blunted dancefloor haze illuminates Ila Brugal’s effortlessly rolling groove. On closing remarks is Honeydrip with Aspire, a zooted stepper of heavenly breakbeat joy that skanks sub-heavy style to its and WZY4.5’s glorious conclusion.
