BLUFF004

OS Premiere: Holloway - Old Dog New Tricks [Bluff Records]

Brooklyn producer Doctor Jeep returns to the fold with the Reflexing EP on DRX, the label’s first release since 2019. “Reflexing” finds the ever-evolving producer on a speedy 4x4 tip, while “Necka Pill” harkens back to the golden age of 90’s breakbeat rave. Closing out the package is “Key Activation”, a dark garage number built for hazy London basements. An ode to the Return Of Clubbing™ from a musical shapeshifter.

Doctor Jeep - Reflexing [DRX005]

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

DRUMSKULL / MANI FESTO
PHASE VELOCITY EP (DSSR090)

01 Drumskull - Phase Velocity (Original Mix)
02 Mani Festo - Hours (Original Mix)
03 Drumskull - Phase Velocity (Mani Festo Remix)
04 Mani Festo - Hours (Drumskull Remix)

Hot off dropping an EP on Hooversound, East London DJ and producer Drumskull launches his own eponymous label with a double-header featuring Club Glow co-founder Mani Festo.

The four-tracker includes an original from each producer – both tracks previously released on Seagrave before it closed its doors last year, taking its back catalogue with it. With these reissued versions remastered, each producer then remixes the other for a fresh, new take.

Drumskull's 'Phase Velocity' displays the same genre fluidity highlighted on 2020's debut album 'Interlocked'. Starting out with a footwork stutter, lush chords floating over booming 808s, the vibe evolves, rolling breaks adding in a jungle intensity. Mani Festo reconstructs this for 140 floors, his club kick pattern providing the bounce as flanging, time-stretched breakbeats keep it rooted in the hardcore continuum.

Mani Festo, aka South East London DJ, producer and graphic artist, Nick Marks, has previously appeared on labels such as Rupture, E-Beamz, Sneaker Social Club and Club Glow, which he runs with LMajor, Borai and Denham Audio. 'Hours' highlights his background in drum and bass, rude basslines running under techy, metallic breaks. Reduced down to 135 by Drumskull, deep, deadly subs and bumpy, swung drums focus it into a dark, shuffling groove.

Combining two of the leading lights from the new wave of breakbeat music, the Phase Velocity EP is released digitally on Friday 24th March 2023 with a limited run of lathe cuts available via the launch party at Planet Wax in London on the same date and to follow on Bandcamp.

@gesturesound presents three new tracks exploring contorting, glitched-out breaks on his INTO EP.

Debuting the Gesture alias in 2021 with an appearance on the Scuffed Presents Vol.7 release, the London-based producer immediately showed his unique take on production with ‘Skynet’.

The ‘INTO’ EP carries on the development of the Gesture sound, with its three tracks united in their frantic breakbeat workout and distinguished by their unconventional use of samples and instrumentation. Stretched vocals, pounding bass, and winding melodies are the name of the game as Gesture puts his stamp over the entire release.

@djfarsight is back on Scuffed Recordings with three new transatlantic bass heaters on his El Mago EP.

Since his earliest releases, Farsight has become a go-to name for high-impact club tracks that defy categorisation. With appearances on labels like Femme Culture, Tropopause, and [Re]sources, the San Francisco-based artist has continuously evolved and embellished his sound across the course of his career, tapping into myriad global styles on each of his tracks.

El Mago is Farsight’s third EP with UK label Scuffed, continuing a relationship that began with 2019’s Oaktown EP and followed up with his Renegade EP in 2021. Most recently, Farsight appeared with his Breaka collab ‘Flow State’.

As ever picking from a wide palette of influences from across the club music spectrum, Farsight runs the gamut across the EP - variously taking cues from UK funky, drill, dubstep, techno, D&B and footwork over the release’s three tracks, all of which were showcased in Farsight's hyped Boiler Room set in June 2023.
