2016 Tracks

New London-based label Sans Absence launches with the debut EP from rising North London DJ and producer Luke West. The five-track ‘OOOOO’ EP, which has picked up early support from Sound Pellegrino label boss Teki Latex and Trax Couture’s Rushmore 
amongst others, is set for digital release on 22nd January. 

Across three original tracks, West blends stripped-back, propulsive UK Funky rhythms with minimal melodies and a dark sound palette to deliver a rugged EP that is built to test the biggest of systems and light up the airwaves. The EP is completed by a pair of remixes 
from label owners Akito and D Warrior. 

The EP opens with the booming sub-bass, rattling percussion and ominous vocal chops of the titular track, kicking in to gear with swaggering Soca snares and rebounding melodies laid over a deep bassline. Up next, ‘Litework’ builds on this framework with its strippedback drums, hypnotic synth riff and low-slung bassline sculpted for maximum impact. ‘Worl’ completes the trio of original tracks with its stuttering rhythms set against echoing synth stabs and expansive pads. Label heads D Warrior and Akito round off the EP with their takes on ‘OOOOO’ and ‘Litework’ respectively; up first D Warrior reworks ‘OOOOO’ with new synth arrangements and a barrage of sharp snares, while Akito injects ‘Litework’ with his signature rhythmic energy to powerful effect. 

Sans Absence is a platform for uncompromising percussive, bass heavy and dancefloor ready club music, made available to everyone digitally.

In our home all day I waited for the change
Something warm that I could say
Somehow I don't care
Though I love the clothes she wears
And I love her body bare

So I pray that it wont feel the same
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart.

Here I pass the day in a most peculiar way
Watching ships out on the bay
And I swallow so hard
Am I too weak to fight
As the day becomes the night and I don't want to be right

So I pray that it wont feel the same
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart.

"Uncompromising percussive, bass heavy and dancefloor-ready club music" is the name of the game today. Step forth LDN sentinel and father of the new Sans Absence imprint, Akito. With an already strong reputation for spinning UK Funky and grime - example #1 being that Jerimih vs Wiley mash-up of yesteryear - him and D Warrior's new venture bows at the same tabernacle, albeit "with a slightly more de-saturated sound palette".

Fellow London producer, Luke West, is the first to draw blood with the OOOOO EP, which features three original tracks shouldered by remixes from the label owners. "Worl" is something of a midnight creeper; embodied by an unfussy, yet purposeful drum foundation and brass horn pumps that periodically fly by like road lights on a nocturnal drive.

SANS01 lands on January 22 2016.

Luke West - OOOOO

Mr. Mitch's first foray of the year comes from 'cold war grime' specialist who graced our screens in our latest Boxed All-Stars episode, Loom. Following on from a 2015 run which struck Tarquin, Bloom and Iglew off their most wanted list, the European Heartache EP is next off the Gobstopper Records conveyor belt.

A struggle with identity forms the core theme for the project. "What's my identity when society dictates how I should present myself because of my race, sex, religion, sexual preference?", asks the young beat fiend in his press release.

Our choice, "Nylon", is the epitome of that heartache; a plunge into the deeper, more romantic realms of instrumental grime and led by the yearning cries of a square wave topline.

European Heartache EP is set to be delivered in time for Valentine's.

​Time to step into the dark and dangerous. Bristol legend Pinch is back on home ground as he prepares to serve up his next release on his own label, Tectonic. Aimed straight for the dance floor, Screamer, sees Pinch team up with recent collaborator and grime legend Riko Dan who lays down his impeccable trademark vocals over the industrial garage-esque beats. The beat, which sees pinch head down a more dark and gritty 4x4 route, is the perfect complement to the sonic dark side of Riko’s flow which goes straight in, no holes barred. Having already been aired by Benji B on Radio 1 as well as support from the likes of Mary-Anne Hobbes, Leofah and Mumdance, its time to delve into the i-D premiere of the forthcoming Screamer. It really is a screamer.
