@flowerstormhq (aka @kasra-v and @sepehr-a return with a second chapter of mythical club mutations with 'Do' EP, delivering five aural incantations forged and fortified in the flames of fabled rites of past times and nu-club sorcery.

'Do' (meaning “two” in Farsi) takes the duo's sonic further into the psychedelic realm with the continued use of ethereal vocal samples alongside a profusion of genres.

The car accelerated quickly forward as it moved between gears. On either side he could see faces flashing by as the pace grew faster and faster. It was dark in the distance, soon the crowds would cease and he would be left with only the other racers for company.

He could hear the engine roaring beneath him, it was strained and mighty.

Smoke billowed from exhausts, then it all went dark as they hit the end of the tunnel and returned to the night.

Guava holds no punches with a new EP for Faux Poly, this one is a bass focussed affair with rising synths, frenetic energy and a sense of immeasurable tension. This will do damage in the clubs. Be warned.

The cave was pitch black, inside there was little sound but for the occasional drip of water which would send a ripple through the pond below. Looking down from up above, they wondered what lay in the murky depths of the quarry. What surprises might be but round the corner? What creatures? What comforts? What tricks? What treats?

That’s when there was a deep rumble from the ground below. It bellowed up through the cave like some loud drum before enveloping their eardrums with a might thud.

Then they flew forth, bats and bats and bats and bats.

Will Hofbauer steps forth for an EP on Will Saul’s longstanding record label Aus. This is a record built of playful bouncey house grooves, oddball sounds and fun. It’s destined to work a treat in the clubs with a silly sense of purpose and a tongue n’ cheek approach to the dance.

PREMIERE: Will Hofbauer - Ah! Bats! [Aus]

Can you feel the Synergy? @blackartistdatabase (B.A.D.) is back with 'Synergy Vol. 2' – this time across an expanded repertoire of 12 tracks.

The release maintains the core vision of the B.A.D. label as one of, quite simply, celebrating the kaleidoscopic range of contemporary Black electronic producers. The likes of AGY3NA, Carista, and @ehuamusic grace a tracklist that dips and bends between heady dancefloor stompers and sunrise cool-downs, and crosses continents with offerings from Nairobi to Naarm. 

B.A.D. is throwing a party at fabric on Saturday, May 18. Tickets here: https://ra.co/events/1883481

Premiere: Ehua 'Kallisté'

Pre-order: https://ditto.fm/duality-blumitsu

‘THE FORMULA’ is the debut release from @blumitsu, the combined forces of UK club heavyweights @bluetooof and @jossymitsu, exploring their shared love of electro and techno.

Opener ‘DUALITY’ encompasses the approach perfectly with its sinister arpeggiated bassline and dystopian voice sampling laying out the conceptual framework of the project: “The state of having two opposing parts combining as one.”

Premiere: BLUMITSU 'DUALITY'

London outfit Kassian continue their broadly-evolving yet highly detailed journey through and beyond sound towards something ever more expansive. Their second release for !K7 Records comes in the wake of creating a dedicated hardware-forward studio in a Northeast London container complex, where they have the freedom to interlink their machines. This renewed focus brought them to Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

The immediacy of the restless rhythm and bass-led funk of “Yena” forms a sweet spot where double-time and half-time can coexist. The word Yena translates to ‘he / him / man’, and the punchy male vocal loop punctuates the track’s deep swing, enhanced by amapiano log drums sped-up to a glassy pitch.

“Yami” (‘mine’ in Zulu) is a slinkier proposition which sheds prominent percussion in favour of a weighty, fluid, acid-informed bassline undulating from below. Contrasted against its jutting female vocals and sharp synth pads, the track cultivates dancefloor anticipation, accented by skittering percussion and time-stretched acid disintegration.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

A dubbed-out groove dominates the bottom-heavy “Sistema Baile”, established by a leading Roland System 1 synth line. It is a groovy, steady roller that chugs and propels and chugs with head-nod hypnotism through an intricately minimalistic approach.

PREMIERE: Kassian - Yena

Liebus had his first release on the Holding Hands Submerged label a couple of years ago now with four killer eyes down cuts and now he’s stepping up on the main label with some serious peak time action.

Every track hits you straight in the chest and should send any hardened dancefloor warrior into fits of gun fingers and stank faces. Believe me, I’ve seen the evidence myself on many occasions when I’ve been testing these out in clubs over the last few years.

Stand back and take notice because Liebus has arrived and he’s taking no prisoners.
