On ACEN043 we welcome Istanbul-born, Strasbourg-based artist Vod Kasat. On their debut solo release, they showcase their broken, leftfield sound with an expansive 6 track EP.

Title track Mavi Maskara opens the record with glitched breaks and pummeling sub bass before propelling into the groove. Cavernous, fluctuating pads enter the mix, adding an atmospheric edge to this rolling percussive work-out.

Next up, Soap enters with staggering percussion and dubbed-out chords before launching into a high-octante electro-inspired rhythm. Cutting arpeggios drive us forward as disorientating sound design drifts through the mix.

Passenger Princess lowers the tempo significantly, alternating between super-time-stretched breaks and slo-mo gabber kicks. The disorientating groove progresses as a whirring siren hovers above.

Dur U kicks off the second half of the record in a tom-driven house groove. Overdriven, haunting vocals glide through the mix as Vod Kasat hits us with arresting, industrial percussion.

15 Feb opens with mangled breaks before entering into a chaotic, high tempo rhythm. A heavily distorted synth provides the hook as hard-hitting kicks command the dancefloor.

Closing track Raindrops On My Tongue opens in contrastingly serene fashion with waterdrops and ethereal pads. Heavy kicks and hectic percussion dance between glitchy melodies before experimental sound design brings the EP to a close. 

Released 21st February

Hold onto your seats as pq returns to the spooky shit imprint with a racing new EP, ‘exhaust loop’. Described in the press release as ‘balloony tunes’, it feels like the most appropriate way to talk about these weird and wonky tracks. With the release coming up next week, we have the exclusive stream of the turbo-charged ‘cheek’ leaving you breathless in your tracks. 

Founded by pq, ekhe and spooky-j, spooky shit was launched in 2019 as a platform to house their boisterous, in your face club records whether that’s solo or under their trio moniker Hot In Da Club. 

‘Exhaust Loop’ by pq will be released on the 4th November via spooky shit - pre-order here: https://spookyshit.bandcamp.com/album/exhaust-loop

London-dwelling Quiche Lorenzo (Laurence), is frankly known for absolutely nothing. However, to a certain group of individuals, he is known for curating the podcast entitled, @theafterparty - a frenetic show where he and 2 other music enthusiasts invite artists and guests to natter about the sentimentality and stories behind their favourite music, even if it is indulging in children’s tv show theme tunes and talking about mayo. Much like the podcast, Laurence’s musical interests centre around silliness and controlled chaos - whether that be jungle, DNB, hardcore, footwork, PC, psytrance and seemingly bloody anything that your parents would disapprove of and will get your hips a-tremblin’. He enjoys bringing composure to chaos in his mixing (or at least attempts to) and production. But a jot of jazz or a pinch of punk on a piping cold day never goes amiss in his downtime. With some projects underway, and some events in the pipeline for The After Party, keep your eyes peeled for more to come!

Me In Mono - Reflections
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM104
Format: Digital
Release: July 7th, 2023

Me In Mono has been making music under various guises for 15 years, and during that journey through sonic landscapes one thing has been a constant feature: raw energy. Coupled with a taste for the peculiar, it’s no surprise that he finds himself most at home in the darker, dingier parts of the dancefloor.

An homage of sorts to the music that led him to produce in the first place, this collection of tracks explores the beauty in the weird, and the starkness in simplicity. Created for optimal energy, percussive elements and de-tuned synth's feature heavily, underpinned by subs that help to make the tracks ready to take on the most hardened dancefloor audiences.

The music itself is relentless and loopy. While the sound design is futuristic, in structure the tracks are more progressive, content to fully explore a certain space before moving on, wringing every possible nuance from each groove. The melodies for the most part aim to generate tension, in insistent sixteenth notes that detune gradually, until we reach ‘Roo’, where some respite is provided by a sensitive Rhodes. Closer ‘Stop Harping On’ goes further into melodic explorations, featuring hyperreal scalar runs that could have come from Ferraro’s Far Side Virtual.
