Mysterious supergroup Protect Ryan (@protectryan) make their HOMAGE debut with the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP, featuring four original rave bangers paired with remixes from five of the scene's most trusted underground producers. 

Protect Ryan unites three friends (all veteran producers) that first came together through their shared love of '90s rave culture. Their debut EP arrived on DJ Die's GutterFunk label and introduced the world to their distinct ethos, producing club-ready cuts that inject the dancefloor with big energy. Now they expand on their story with the purest form of their dynamic sound, the 'Self-proclaimed Critically Acclaimed' EP on HOMAGE. 

Leading off with 'Bro Magnum', Protect Ryan launch into an all-out assault of banging breakbeats and growling bass before a squelching acid line takes over. Then comes 'Liam Features', a track also forthcoming on TSHA's fabric presents compilation, which follows with more rouged rhythms paired with playful stabs transporting listeners back to the golden age of rave. Next is 'Senhor Whep' and its nostalgic drum breaks that lay the foundation for an absolutely naughty acid line building into peak time euphoria. Finally, rounding out the Protect Ryan originals is 'Unfinished BTEC' delivering the trio's most refined sound, with tight percussion and chopped vocals stacked on top of a smooth, deep, and emotive bass line. 

While the originals are enough to satisfy anyone's thirst for rave-ready anthems, the release is complete with a staggering collection of remixes. Building on the energy that was already laid out, Apparition (@apparition-noise) speeds up the bpm with their version of 'Bro Magnum' for a hyper bass banger. Then Club Glow's own Denham Audio (@denhamaudio) takes on 'Liam Features' with his signature breakbeat NRG before Boulderhead (@boulderheaduk) flips the same track into a bumping house cut highlighting the original's infectious bassline. Finishing off the release are two remixes of 'Unfinished BTEC', first by HOMAGE label co-founder Ryan Clover (@ryanclover) who's hard-hitting version highlights the deep squelchy bass and chopped percussion while Davis Galvin (@davisgalvin) delivers a sublime and ethereal downtempo chugger.

The fifth Redstone Press release comes from Glasgow based LWS, who is at the stepping off point of a soon-to-be prolific production career that has already drawn early support from the likes of Ben UFO, Elena Colombi and Surgeon. This is definitely a producer to keep two ears and eyes on.

The opener “Aerosol” showcases LWS’ flair for space, bass and catchy hooks with this stripped back percussive workout progressively morphing into a low end sound-system killer. The A2 “Spoker” is a far more chaotic and energetic affair, highlighting further LWS’ incredible detail for intricate, pulsating drum work, chopped vocal cuts and stretched out synths which draw you straight to the speaker. The B side contains two slower-paced and wonkier offerings. The groove-ridden and stumbling ‘“Chug Sequence”’ inexorably works its way into your mind via a mash of percussive hits, foreboding vocal whispers and rolling bass. Closing out the release is the slow burning “Rev Up”, LWS reverts to booming drums and stop/start beatwork that culminates in a rising, euphoric cacophony.

This one is a limited press of 100 records. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

For Dyslecta's debut on vinyl, and follow up to his contribution to Out of Sorts' inaugural VA, he serves up four slabs of rugged, UK techno, with influences from the early swamp sound, 2000s hard groove and classic tech house. The influences of the early 2000's early tech house scene are clear in Left on Para, a tasteful hypnotic roller which combines dubbed out vocals with a lurching bassline. Full release is dropping on 19th August, with only 100 records available worldwide, via the Out of Sorts bandcamp.'

PREMIERE: Lithe - Yammer [Meld]

Taken from "Everything Merged Vol. 1", a brand new compilation featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.


Everything Merged Vol 1

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations from 2021, and countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 1” features the awesome music of a group of 3024 alumni from across the globe, interpreting the post-pandemic phase of electronic music each in their individual ways. There are the contemporary percussive meditations of Adam 2, Solair, Klont and Brooklynite No Sir, the 90s garage and rave inspired music of Karis, Agôn, Slovenia’s Hatterri and Noise Casino from Colombia. The exuberant technicolorist bangers of Guava, Blu-e and Cress and the deep hypnotic explorations of India’s Chhabb, MarceauxMarceaux and The Exhausted.

Title: Burner FM
Catalogue Number: BP022SD
Genre: UK Techno / Broken / 140
Release: November 2022

Tracklist:

2. Earworm

Banoffee Pies Records welcomes Syz to the label with “Burner FM”. A two track single to warm the mood ahead of his full EP “Headspin” scheduled to land early 2023 from the impressive UK based alt. Techno producer.

Oli’s high quality output of playful and dynamic compositions on show yet again. A long path ahead for this kind soul and a good start point for this cohesive artist-label BPR hook up. Syz carves a distinct sound with clear intention in the cross hybrid field of techno leaning, drum heavy, dubbed out, and often grime inspired broken beat sonics. As always, there’s plenty of subtleties, chaptered progression and unpredictable flurries of hooks to keep you moving.

As Pugilist, Alex Dickson has a rich history of fusing multiple genres to produce unique soundscapes that occupy the collapsing space between techno, house, breakbeat and jungle. Extracting and distilling the crucial ingredients from each one and using them to conjure up rich sonic tapestries that are as vivid as they are intoxicating. With his debut EP for Of Paradise, entitled ‘Negative Space’, Dickson pushes his sound even further, serving up a masterclass in atmospheric club chemistry, purpose-built for a post-apocalyptic world.Featuring four deeply effective cuts caught somewhere between offbeat techno, lucid breaks and swaggering bass, ‘Negative Space’ is a four-track vortex born out of heat-soaked landscapes and executed with cold vein precision.

Orion - Undead Throne [H-Productions]

London label, Control Freak have made quite the impact since their first release last year. Welcoming Keplrr alongside debuts from Guava and label-head Customer Service so far, they pride themselves on a love for intricate sounds on wax. Seeding techno sensibilities with UK bass twists.

With yet another label debut on the way, this time we see Syz landing with solo EP 'Bunzunkunzun'. A trio of complex dancefloor rippers, it's an all-rounder with shades of brightness pitted alongside thick skanked up textures. 

The title track is the bounciest of the three. Showcasing Syz's clear aptitude for freaki rhythms, it's destined for show-stopping dancefloor moments. Heads down, hips twist, jaws swings. We can't wait to hear this fired up on a system to the masses.
