After an amazing response to an open call for demos last year, Sounds of Lava Lava is proud to present the first edition of its various artists compilation; WAVES.  All five tracks span the vast Electronic genre, from deep and mesmerising grooves to rough and raw dance floor weapons.

Mirko Hecktor kicks off the compilation with Aquaborn; a slow burner laid out over almost 7 minutes where delicate arpeggiated synths bounce alongside soft drums, warm bass lines, wandering keys and chopped vocal samples to create a hypnotising and almost meditative track. Following up is a debut from Scottish producer Lobos.  Hailing from Fife and now a part of Glasgow's thriving music scene, his track 5am Sunrise has an energy and excitement which is reminiscent of early 90’s UK dance records.  Looped synth lines and melodies playfully develop and distort throughout while driving kicks and clean percussion lead through moments of euphoria.

Chris & Reece keep it low and slow with Red Right Hand.  Squelching acid-tinged bass lines weave between thumping drum patterns and gritty piano stabs while Reece’s echoing vocals create an almost tangible atmosphere.

Making a return to Sounds of Lava Lava is Glaswegian duo Pentland Park.  With Never Go Back they take the energy up a level with punchy drums and chest-shaking sub bass tones.  Delicate vocal samples contrast with the sharp percussion, adding a layer of beauty to this raw groove.  Finally Max Raskin closes out the compilation with California Honey.  A true hardware enthusiast, Max combines crunching synth lines, shuffling drum patterns, spiralling keys and reverberating vocal hooks to make a true dance floor heater.

PREMIERE : Lobos - 5AM Sunrise

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Keepsakes. "Quit Your Dancefloor Yarn" comes off the new EP, Lead Popsicle, forthcoming on Boys Noize Records. Following on from recent releases on Hector Oaks’ KAOS/OAKS imprint and formidable London label Perc Trax, Christchurch, New Zealand based techno power-house Keepsakes comes forth now with a 4-track EP of wonky and cheeky heavy-hitters. Combining the left-field sound design and heavy drums of his industrial background with the funk and groove of late 90s and early 2000s techno and second-generation Chicago house, the EP presents a tough yet playful side of the ever expanding Antipodean producer’s sound. Today we premiere the EP's second track. 

Lead Popsicle is out July 19th. Get yours at: https://keepsakesish.bandcamp.com/album/lead-popsicle?label=2654647537&tab=music
