Today we premiere Doubt’s new track ‘Friotaíocht’, releasing as part of the Chancers Vol. 1 compilation, on the new City Imp Records imprint from Roo Honeychild and City Imp, who are releasing their debut compilation with some rising talents of Irish dance music and “weirdo pop”.

With the announcement of Chancers Vol. 1, ‘Dublin Club Queen' Roo Honeychild launches her new label ‘City Imp Records ’. The philosophy of ‘City Imp Records’ as a label is not to take itself too seriously, according to City Imp its “music for messers”. The stunning artwork designed by DJ Egg provides a graphic of all artists on the VA which includes Roo herself, Selky, Sweet Philly, Toké O’Drift, and more.  

The anything but-over-serious compilation links club sonics derived from genres such as Jersey Club, Industrial Rap, Trance and Hard Drum but all full of Irish Humour and nostalgia and appreciation for “Irish Institutions” such as “shifting someone’s mate at a teen disco, cúpla focail Gaeilge briste and drinking cans on public transport. Iconic samples included on the compilation include some vocal chops from Enya, B*Witched and that viral video of the Kerry Family that failed to catch the rogue bat in their kitchen, but you’ll have to wait to hear them all! 

Doubt’s track ‘Friotaíocht’ is today’s premiere from the compilation. ‘Friotaíocht’ is a fast paced track with the kick pattern and breaks of Jersey Club  Music but with that Hard Drum sound Doubt's production is known for along with hypnotic trancey synths and samples from this moment on Talbot Street a few years ago when Pegida fascists were chased out of Dublin City. 

There has been no slowing down for Doubt in recent years, he is the co-founder of Cork’s ‘Flood’ label with Syn and Tension all of whom have pioneered a forward thinking percussive sound in Irish dance music. Flood as a label have provided an extensive discography of hard drum releases and have been supported internationally by heavyweights such as I Hate Models and Lyzza to name a few. He recently released ‘Soilse’ as a single on the label earlier this year, which is another beautifully produced melodic track, while also making his debut appearance on Rinse FM with Object Blue back in February, who states Doubt as one of her all time favourite producers. 

Check out Doubt’s track below from ‘Chancers Volume 1’ on our SoundCloud now and be sure to follow City Imp Records and Doubt on their socials. Pre-order for the compilation is now available on the City Imp Records Bandcamp with a release date of Wednesday the 28th of April.

A1. Asymmetric Information - @HomemadeWeapons Remix
A2. Don’t Crush The Acid - @Viels Remix 
B1. Don’t Crush The Acid - @black-jazz-consortium Reshape
B2. Inner Sunset - @Soramimi + @CoryJames remix 

For its ninth release, Dusk Notes invites 3 guest artists, each gifted and stylistically distinctive in their own right, to reinterpret tracks from Imagery’s self-titled album. Wide-ranging and divergent in genre, the compilation closes out with a remix from the label founders.

Homemade Weapons’ striking take on “Asymmetric Information'' features his signature audio sculptures of precise and militant choppage. Viels’ intricate rework of “Don’t Crush the Acid” is marked by commanding breakbeats and ominous ambience. Fred P’s version of “Don’t Crush the Acid” embarks on a jazzy groove with musing and yearning melodies. Soramimi and Rondec take us inward at eventide with a hushed and intoxicating montage of “Inner Sunset.”

Confusion Is Next

Tom Dark

Bright Sounds welcomes prolific Dutch artist Boris Bunnik for a new EP under his most celebrated alias, Conforce. The regular Delsin artist saves this project for his more dance floor driven work and that is the case across all four of the atmospheric tracks here. 

‘Virtue Signalling’ is slick techno that mixes up sci-fi sounds with cavernous dub pads. It’s cerebral and cinematic as well as being driven by the rubbery drums. ‘Black Mesa’ is darker, with a meaning synth line coming in spurts over punchy, broken drums. It’s grand in architecture but still has plenty of rich sonic details. On the flipside, ‘Compulsion’ is more watery, with little life forms suspended in a backlit ocean above slippery drums, where ‘Alka’ is another underwater affair, with beams of light penetrating from above as a dubbed out groove undulates way down deep. Once again then here, Conforce marries form with function in exquisite ways.
