We're in Waterford for our latest premiere where an exciting new label 'Off The Beaten Track', has just launched with an EP from Akari. We premier his track 'No Escape'. 

Off The Beaten Track is a sister label to Seems Legit! and they will both take on new roles as the former will feature a series of eclectic, off-centre releases, and the latter will focus on the more dance floor focused sounds. 

The first release on OTBT is from Akari aka Davin Coady, who hails from Waterford city. This release is reminiscent of low-fi acid house and trip hop styles that would be heard in chill out rooms at raves in the 90s, a slight departure from his more established house and disco style, but still produced to the high standard you would expect from him. 

We look forward to hearing the other artists and sounds discovered by the label, and encourage any artist who feels they have a track that would suit them to get in touch. 

You can check out our premiere via our SoundCloud page, plus support the artist and label by picking up Akari's 'Parastic' EP via Bandcamp.

@djmorrice is no less than a pioneer of Portuguese techno, churning out high-octane bangers and rave-tinged rollers alike from his hometown of Porto since the mid 90s. Lucky for us he didn't slow down, and his fresh offerings are as enticing as ever - we got our hands on some of the finest crop of Morrice's characteristically deranged, sonic techno and 'Back on Tracks' was born.

One can hear the realness of a legend-worthy path in dance music in every tough beat and in every bass line twist and turn: the opener 'Dirty Smack' is a raw, no-frills mutant banger that will throw even the most bashful raver into a frenzy, reminding us all why we miss dancing together so much. 'Stress Will Kill' is a tense, paranoid techno roller featuring a super effective lead over an economic but super banging technoid beat&bass. 'Synth Lies' is another trip recalling Midwest movements and exuberant composers like Poindexter.

On the flip, you'll find the soulful depths of a warm 'Doctor' as well as the wonderfully Detroitian-via-Douro dream of 'Acorda', all silky pads and stabs. The record closes with a 'Dirty Smack' remix by Paraíso regular @violet who infuses the original with broken rhythms and percussive highlights.

One of Fanon Flowers best works finally reissued on Mojuba sub label a.r.t.less! As a very eloquent discogs user once said: “Absolutely essential hard, minimal, detroit-style techno. One of the finest examples of the mid-late 90's minimal sound. Aggressive, spare, funky...much like Robert Hood's seminal masterpiece, Minimal Nation LP. Unlike much of the mindless, meathead bangers of hard techno, this single is tastefully understated. Taking cues from early g-man (and perhaps less directly from Basic Channel) this record doesn't oversaturate with a barrage of hard beats...it holds back and leaves the listener hypnotized and wanting more. This is hard techno that works. It jacks; it throbs; it fills the dance floor. It's smarter than the rest, and it isn't afraid to show its detroit roots. It's everything that the idiom of hard techno should be and rarely was able to achieve. This record is the undelivered promise of the hard, detroit sound and one of the best examples of the Robert Hood/Jeff Mills legacy.“ There's nothing more to add ;)

Buy via Hard Wax!

Fanon Flowers - Trackmodes EP - A.R.T.LESS 2188 (Preview)

"ASCENSION" is the debut album release from artist ston, an independently released project. 

For Ascension, I set out to explore hard house, bassline, and electronic elements throughout.

This body of work means a lot to me; it took up six months of my life and taught me so much about music production. It also taught me the importance of committing to what you set out to achieve and the struggles that can come with that. Most importantly, it showed me that imperfection is okay when the alternative is procrastination.

I created this album using the DAW FL Studio, and as of its release, I’ve begun transitioning to Ableton, a commitment I set for myself when I first began this project.
Through this experience, I’ve learned that moving forward, I want to dive into more intricate ideas and trust my creative process without falling into the trap of comparing my work to others. I’m eager to experiment with more abstract percussions, deeper emotional progressions, and unconventional grooves. It’s going to be a journey, but I’m excited for it to begin.

If you connected with any of the music from this release, I’d love to hear from you.  I’m excited to continue exploring!
