Debba - Breathing Pillars (CloudCore)

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.

Sputnik One & EMBY - Supa Natural [N-Face001]

Rounding off the year on Redstone Press, Debba comes correct with a varied four-tracker laden with hefty subs and lock-tight percussion.

The A-side starts out with fast-paced staccato kicks and the oscillating, warped bassline of ‘Called Up’. These elements soon develop into a twisted, energetic romp, showing Debba’s innate knack for upfront, low-end percussive work. Continuing with this theme ‘Direction’ adds reverb-drenched vocals to the mix and ups the bass weight, with gritty, looping subs throughout. These two will put that soundsystem you’re dreaming of playing on, to the test!

The B-side is more restrained and meditative but retains the heavy subs, opening with the downtempo and introspective chords of ‘I Said’. The drop in pace gives Debba’s signature beatwork and melodic flourishes space to breathe with the dreamy synths of ‘Subtle’ building up, then breaking down into a low-slung UK Techno roller.

PREMIERE: Debba - I Said [Redstone Press]

The Baddest (Dual Monitor VIP) (clip / unreleased)

@stonestaro returns to Scuffed Recordings with three new UK-tinged club tracks, backed by a remix from @tim-reaper.

The trajectory of Kyoto-based Stones Taro and Scuffed Recordings have been intertwined since their earliest days, with Taro releasing one of the first EPs on Scuffed back in 2017 and releasing regularly with Ian DPM and Wager's label ever since.

Since then, his tracks have been supported by the likes of Ben UFO, DJ Q, Jamz Supernova, Conducta and Soichi Terada, with releases on Time Is Now, Kouncil Cuts, and his own co-run label NC4K.

The producer, DJ and label owner has always worn his UK dance music influences proudly on his sleeve, and his latest outing on the Ton Tan EP continues in much the same vein, with three new originals incorporating breakbeat house, UK funky-influenced percussion, and proto-dubstep wobbles.

Closing out the release is Tim Reaper, one of the vanguard of the jungle revival, on the remix for the EP’s title track - an all-out assault of hoovers and upfront breaks.

Skee Mask - Reviver (Stin9 Bootleg)[FREE TRACK THURSDAY]

@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.

Farsight - Sorted

Manchester’s Mercy System debuts on Of Paradise with Procedures, a unique, intricate, boundary blurring excursion through the heart of UK bass, dubstep, and garage. Comprised of four thought provoking and immersive compositions, Procedures feels almost monolithic in its sound, evoking vivid images of space, rugged landscapes, and dimly lit venues.

This is intelligent, forward-thinking dance music. A set of alien transmissions, reinterpreted and reconstructed for the club, and the perfect new addition to the label’s ever-evolving library.
