noRecall - Kinda Squishy [OMM011]

Just in time for the season of air-so-thick-you-could-cut-it-with-a-knife, Ommaya co-founder noRecall is back with an icey haul of season-ready tracks. His third EP on the label - dubbed 'Kinda Squishy' - focuses all of his efforts on what he knows best - otherworldly sound-system music. The four original tracks - 'Blah,' 'Fake a Smile,' 'Squish,' and 'Look Man' - are classic noRecall, worming their way into your mind and feet.

Supporting him are four of contemporary club music's most provocative purveyors, all hawking their brand of high-octane, unrelenting styles for the dance floor.

Mirin Doja, a fellow Seattleite and celebrated high-bpm academic, making appearances on labels like Juke Bounce Werk and Delusional Records, takes the track 'Look Man' and gives it her gun-finger treatment, flipping it into a heaving UKG slammer.

The similarly Seattle-based Jason Code (a Terminal 8 alumni and co-head of Seattle's rising club night Data Club - a who's who of IYKYK dance music energy helping to revitalize the city's scene,) lends his signature Jason Codification to 'Squish,' imbibing it with the energy of a grinning, toothy, ear-to-ear grin.

CDMX's own Octoptic - co-founder of WavaWava - returns to Ommaya after his fan-favorite contribution to Ommaya's Solstice compilation in December 2023, bringing along a non-stop, high-energy rendition of 'Look Man' with enough momentum to break through peak-time in a packed room.

Last but not least, Egyptian club music wizard 3Phaz - fresh off a year of features on labels like TraTraTrax, YUKU, and Low Income $quad - graces the label with his flip of 'Fake a Smile' - upping the pace by more than a few notches and turning it into a chugging, metallic heater sure to find its way onto plenty of USBs this Summer.

PREMIERE: Racing Nokia - Lurk Hard (Dusty Dan Remix)

The percussive pulse of dance music, particularly the kick drum, exhibits a curious parallel to contemporary socio-political dynamics.  The kick drum's rhythmic rise, that anticipatory build-up preceding the drop, can be interpreted as a sonic representation of the escalating tensions inherent within current societal structures.  This cyclical pattern of tension and release mirrors the collective anticipation of societal shifts, reflecting a desire for resolution within the socio-political landscape.

The kick drum itself acts as a microcosm of revolution. Each beat signifies a momentary disruption, an assertion against the prevailing sonic quiescence.  This resonates with the dynamics of social movements, where individual voices coalesce into a collective demand for change.  The rhythmic insistence of the kick drum further amplifies this analogy, mirroring the persistent push for progress despite systemic inertia.  The subsequent "drop" in dance music, the moment of cathartic release, becomes analogous to the desired outcome of these socio-political movements: a palpable shift, a tangible change, a sense of collective unity.

In considering T-Pain's "Up Down," a hypothetical modification of the title to simply "Up" presents a compelling thought experiment. While "Up Down" captures the oscillatory nature of societal progress, the singular focus of "Up" offers a more potent message of unwavering forward momentum.  By eliminating the "Down," the revised title eliminates the implication of regression, suggesting a relentless pursuit of advancement. In the context of the current socio-political climate, this unyielding focus on upward trajectory resonates deeply, offering a powerful sonic metaphor for the pursuit of positive change.

Dusty Dan's "Up Up," in its titular evocation of ascent, directly addresses the perceived incompleteness of T-Pain's "Up Down."  While T-Pain's track acknowledges the oscillatory nature of progress, "Up Up" opts for a singular, unwavering trajectory.  By focusing solely on the upward movement, "Up Up" captures the essence of the kick drum's socio-political resonance: a persistent striving for positive change. This sonic affirmation of continuous ascent acts as both a reflection of current societal anxieties and a hopeful anthem for future progress, offering a potent response to the cyclical nature of T-Pain's "Up Down."  "Up Up" posits that, despite the inevitable ebb and flow of societal forces, the overarching trajectory should always be towards a higher plane.

 Default Mode by Raleigh & Takenaga continues the newly established X series – Harmony’s platform for new voices and limitless exploration. Hailing from Prague, the duo embodies the next wave of adventurous sound design and musical talent from the imprint's hometown.

Incentive Program opens the EP's A side with a drifting, trance-tinged flow wrapped in sweeping pitch movements and fractured vocals. The track sets a shadowy, almost sinister atmosphere, pulling all witnesses into its slow-burn gravity. It's a steady build, tipping the floor over the edge. Stiff Envelope pulls you into its depths as it continues to build tension with resonating synth hits that quiver over a powerful trance foundation. With a few moments of silence that let its unsettling atmosphere settle across the stereo field before swinging back in at full force, this one is tailor-made for big systems.

B side's Ground Floor carries on with metallic swells and shimmers that ring underneath the surface as the tension built on the A side bursts, settling into a grounding four-on-the-floor moment and leaving just enough time to breathe before Raleigh stirs up a concoction of devious vocals, snappy percussion, and a seductive bassline that lifts the mood tastefully. Takenaga wraps up the record with Head Count, a razor-sharp blend of crisp percussive cuts and stuttered crumbles that are seeking the perfect pitch all the way, climbing up and down. Heads are counted on a lively groove that radiates playful momentum and commands the dance floor to get in formation, keeping a tight rhythmic focus. Infused with the pulse of UK club culture, this track delivers a fresh and forward-thinking sound perfect for adventurous turntables.

https://ceadcead.bandcamp.com/album/impurity-a-hole-in-the-sky

"A Hole In The Sky was written solely out of nostalgia for the old Dubstep nights of the lates 00's. Dark rooms with only a light on the decks, an overwhelming stack of speakers in proportion to the room size that would tend to have subs that would make your body feel like you were falling through a hole in the sky.

Havanna Laffe was written in an attempt to capture the atmosphere and energy of mid-summer garden parties in Liverpool."
