- E-Unity (FTD Records, TEMƎT Music / Paris, FR)

@e-unity

Loïc Berger aka E-Unity is an established thinker of the french leftfield techno scene. He’s released several records, tunes and remixes since 2017 through labels such as Oscilla Sound, FTD, Peach Discs, PAN and TemeT. With an EP in 2020 and a mini-album in 2023 on the Simo Cell’s label, Loïc refined his signature sound echoing pop music, the hardcore continuum, urban sounds, latin music and the post-dubstep era with emotional and introspective melodies, heavy bass vibrations, spacey synths and hybrid rhythmic compositions. 

With his new record « E-Ternity », E-Unity keeps pushing his positive and emotive sound towards a dystopian and uncertain world. This bouncy and ascencional EP, which may be his most club-oriented work so far, is made for pure summer hedonism where time and space cease to exist. 

The visual and narrative aspects that have always lied in E-Unity’s music are more present and tangible than ever in this record, each track evokes scenes like musical novels. These musical scenes are reinforced by the visual universe developed by him (through his creative studio Unité Services) and 3D artist, Laurent Allard.

- Galtier (Nostro Hood System, Infinite Machine / Bristol, UK)

@galtier
@nostro-hood-system

Galtier’s is an artist who hones in on amalgamation as the focal point of his output; his works occupy an expansive somatic energy that has evolved significantly over his decade-long presence in the global electronic scene.

Sporadic unexpectedness in rhythmic pace and structure coupled with a coagulated sense of mood is the formula for Galtier’s productions and DJ sets; a willingness to explore change and progression in sound while maintaining a sense of driven cohesion has been a driving force throughout his foray into sound design. 

The productions on both his 2018 'Terran' EP and his debut album 'Pulchra Es Elementis', released in 2021 are essentially 'Blade Runner soundtrack with Drums' utilising impactful, theatrical melodic qualities and borrowing heavily from Techno, UK Bass, world influenced percussive rhythms, Drum & Bass, Dancehall and Ambient. His distinctive interest in the myriad world of rhythm and percussion - coupled with a love for 1980’s science fiction & fantasy that he grew up watching - help sculpt these compositions into imaginative, thematic electronic tracks.

Later works have been experiments into raw signal music, heavily FM-oriented and further into the abstract alien. Galtier’s 2022 ‘Imitation Plantae’ EP and his latest 2023 release ‘Nausea Signal Studies’ are examples of said evolution, with the inclusion of hardware frequencies into the mix and a further delving into resonance and organic movement of processed noises. The palette is far more erratic and bulbous; the immenseness of the soundscapes have caved in on themselves, feeling more like a black hole than the spiritual vastness of space and the emotions that come with this sensation. 

Galtier has offered up mixes on reputable platforms that include Fact Mag, XLR8R, Inverted Audio, Rinse France and has contributed endlessly to the enormity of independent music publications that are making humble moves. Throughout, minimal restrictions on BPM and a desire to keep things ever-changing result in massive shifts in tempo throughout even a brief Galtier set. His cohesive understanding of music accompanied by his passion for creating his own unique and stylistic approach has won him admiration and respect on an international scale.

He has worked with such labels as Infinite Machine, NAAFI, [re]sources, TRRUENO, 10 Label and in 2015, Galtier introduced his own label Nostro Hood System to the world; nestled in the thematic concept as a label focused on the xenological discovery of an alternate galaxy to our own that sets out to showcase the musical artefacts that originate from it. The output has hosted releases from such production greats as Amor Satyr & Siu Mata, Atrice, Amazondotcom, Siete Catorce, Aircode, Avernian and Galtier himself.

- Akanbi (Groovy Groovy / New York City, USA)

@andrewakanbi
@gggroovyyy

Meet Akanbi, founder of ‘GROOVY GROOVY', Akanbi is leading a new generation of dedicated underground ravers in NYC. Raised in Lagos, Nigeria, with a huge thirst music and no internet access. Moved to NY in 2010 and immersed himself into every corner of dance music as a serious dancer and eventually became a DJ. Overtime he cultivated his own style that delivers whip-crack bangers with insistent percussion, pounding breaks and slow-burning experimental descents. In 2016 he started a party movement under the name ‘GROOVY GROOVY’, a judgment-free atmosphere for wild dance floors, radical politics, and a much-needed dose of fresh young talent.
Akanbi quickly made an impression with incendiary sets at ‘New York’s Mutual Dreaming’ & ‘Fourth World’ & Tresor. Featured on the Fader mix series, and has been highlighted by Resident Advisor as a key performer at the New York DIY festival, Sustain-Release.

"Recorded live on Planet Groovy."

"It's rare to find a producer that toes the line between creating a body of work that has meaning and narrative outside of a dancefloor-oriented environment while retaining a club-ready approach, but that's exactly what Yip Wong AKA Deft has accomplished over his decade-long career in beat-making."

We're incredibly excited to present the latest installment in the Booms and Claps mix series, BnC Mix 044: Deft! It's quite the journey, so check it out and make sure you cop his most recent album "Cracks" on Ivy Lab's 20/20 LDN imprint at the link below.

The experimental bass scene is on the rise, but few have cut through the noise like New Orleans duo, sfam, comprised of Jacob Hoerner & Michael Pearson. They’ve positioned themselves as one of the most impressive and innovative new acts in bass music.

Taking inspirations from their love for heavy bass and minimal trap beats - sfam has formulated a dark, distinct sound of unique, amorphous, original beats that have gotten them support from industry tastemakers such as UZ, Bassnectar, Dirt Monkey, sumthin sumthin, Kai Wachi, Toadface, CRAZE & more.

Fresh off the release of their latest EP on Drama Club Recordings, sfam proves that they are here to stay as their sound continues to evolve with every release. Locked and loaded with an arsenal of unreleased music for the upcoming year, 2019 is set to be a true breakout year for sfam.

- Cyan85 (Lunar Orbiter Program, Voitax / DE)

@cyan85

Hailing from the rough depths of Eastern Germany, Cyan85 brings a diverse sound to the thriving electro scene that drifts effortlessly from soulful and warm sun-drenched anthems, right through to in-the-red, robotic slammers.

It’s easy to draw parallels between the industrialised East and the infamous US area code 313. The discarded remains of a once-thriving center of manufacturing provide many havens for electro lovers in the form of abandoned factories and warehouses. Similar to the Detroit forefathers from whom he draws his influences, it was in these concrete spaces that Cyan85 first cut his teeth a little over half a decade ago.

Since then, he has garnered a name for himself as a capable and versatile DJ, traversing multiple genres as he brings his sets from dreamy, downtempo lushness to hard-hitting machine-driven funk. Eclecticism is a deep part of his musical identity and one that is clearly apparent in his debut EP “Bay of Sampieri”, released on the seminal, Berlin-based label Voitax.

Cyan85’s bouncy, energetic sound comes from a music-making process with live, hardware-based improvisation at its heart. Nestled in his cosy studio next to Kalif Storch Club, he jams out on a variety of vintage synths and drum machines. He then edits, processes and augments using a collection of software plugins to create his own, modernised take on that classic Detroit style.

The System 108 anniversary record sums up the label's five-year work without words. The new collection is an impression of everything that the team has become during its existence. System 108 has matured nominally and stylistically, defining for itself three main directions: post-industrial, techno and break-beat, disco and house.
