ONNA BUGEISHA EP

Amaliah’s edit of ‘Pass That Dutch’, now entitled ‘Throw That Dutch’ carves an acid line with bass heavy notes and sharp percussion in a lead up to the recognisable rap verse from Missy. Varying vocal chops and a techno melody give it that edge making it one for the darkest of booths.

Y2SLAY Edits is out now via Bandcamp!

Amaliah - Throw That Dutch

Fuzzy Logic

Pangaea - Still Flowing Water (Edit)

The Copenhagan-based DJ, producer  and founder of SWANA-focused club night Bukhar follows a prolific run of EPs in 2022 with two more cuts that blend propulsive club beats with percussion inspired by his Kurdish heritage. ‘QAAR A’ peppers its driving, four-to-the-floor techno beat with finger cymbals, darbuka drumming, mizmar-like melodic samples and vocal chops.

Mastered by Danish techno producer and Kulør-affiliate, Sugar, both tracks on ‘QAAR’ boast an irresistibly revved-up velocity. It’s no wonder the EP’s artwork takes visual cues from the drift-driving community in Amman, Jordan.

Speaking about the significance of incorporating Kurdish instrumentation into his music, Muskila says: “Kurds currently live under a tremendous amount of pressure. My aim with my music is to create more awareness around the Kurdish struggle for independence.

Ineffekt and Tsepo both make their return to Intercept, but this time as a duo. ''After we met at a Bicep show in Paradiso, Amsterdam and got to know each other more, we noticed our taste was slowly moving closer to each other. We exchanged two unfinished tracks, and the rest was history. The EP came about faster than anything we've ever done; you can hear that. We didn't overthink it but had fun which shone through on the tracks. For us, that has been a big lesson. It's an unconventional fusion of music heard on the two-tracker, making for a refreshing sound.'' - Tsepo & Ineffekt

Since his last outing on Control Freak with the sold-out Bunzunkunzun EP, Syz has built a reputation as one of the UKs most distinctive club producers, weaving playful, percussive techno with soundsystem-driven bass music. Releases via Shanti Celeste’s Peach Discs and more recently on Banoffee Pies have cemented his position as a rising star of the UK scene.

Much of this acclaim started with 2020’s Mindforms - a self-released mini-LP which saw the young producer step away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one’.

The original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms, housed in full-colour centre-cut sleeves featuring an adaptation of the original artwork by Jamie Fallon (Ghost Cell), reworked by London-based designer Blixa Aguerreberry.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes. Daisy Moon takes a decidedly Bristolian approach, delivering a scorching hot, bass-driven club stomper.

@paurrro lands on @sistersofsoundsos this month with a new psychedelic two-track release. "'Naginata / Sable' is a more trippy, experimental and raw track than the rest because it was one of the first sessions in Ableton I ever started and that I really liked," says the producer. 

"At the time I wanted to experiment with synths and arpeggios, and I used a pad chord that I love and that I used later for Galvisión but with a very different mood. I like the psychedelic and dark feel it has."

Premiere: Paurro ‘Jingū Kogo / Emperatriz Jingū’

Mexico City’s Paurro is the next artist to release on marginalized gender focused label SOS Music. Having been quickly recognised and taken on by the Discwoman collective, Paurro has been making a noise in the electronic world with RA, Mixmag and DJ Mag all singing her praises, as well as being resident at Mexico City’s YuYu Club & Funk Club.

With Onna-Bugeisha being her biggest EP yet, you can understand through listening to each track that she’s really thought carefully about the ideas and themes around the release, resulting in a beautifully eclectic package of five solid, interesting and unique bodies of work.

In reflection to the unsettling femicide rate in Mexico which has been causing political stir in the country, Paurro wanted to explore themes around female warriors and forgotten women. The EP title is a term referring to female samurai warriors that existed in pre-modern Japan, whose legacy was ultimately erased from history because of their gender, in response the tracks are in ode to those forgotten women, each in their different way.
