Fibre Optixx presents his 3rd EP ‘Body Thing’ on KANN. Split into two parts, the release draws on a deep love for the fundamentals of 90s dance music. Constantly chopping in chunks of influence, Body Thing is an ode to the frameworks of house and techno.

“What If” is a deep and groovy cut from the first half of the release, with a psychedelic mantra that rolls over the tracks percussive repetitions.

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.

For our 176th podcast we invited the Parisian born and Berlin based Lea Occhi, mother of Spectrum Waves in Paris. She is no stranger to the scene anymore and therefore doesn't need much introduction. Lea is committed to promoting values of tolerance, diversity and freedom within her musical journey and music has always been an important part of her life.

Londoner @ddanvers brings three new turbo-charged hardware jams to Scuffed Recordings on his ‘Living In The Sends’ EP.

Danvers’ productions have been building pace over recent years and he has gained a reputation for his intricately-produced but high-octane club tracks, both as a solo artist and as part of the duo Kassian.

As a solo artist, Danvers has built a diverse catalogue, appearing on labels like Fantastic Voyage - where he released his debut album ‘Gently Ascending’ in 2022 - as well as Holding Hands, SlothBoogie, and CoOp Presents. As part of Kassian, Danvers has released on such labels as K7, Shall Not Fade, 17 Steps, alongside running their own label Faux Poly.

On the ‘Living In The Sends’ EP, Danvers expands his explorations into hardware-focussed production, describing the release as ‘experiments crossing in between different genres’. Across the EP’s three tracks, Danvers darts between breakbeat, electro and UK techno influences, from the lurching opener ‘Cascade’ to the blistering breaks of ‘Sprites’, and finishing with vocal-led roller ‘Jus’ Fine’.
