Lithe & NORA DRUM - Split EP 

Four slices of polyrhythmic bass and breaks. 

"Split EP is the result of conversation between two work colleagues swapping and sharing tracks while on shift, finding common interest in music that takes the core stylistic markers of drum and bass and breaks it down into new and exciting forms. The result is a venn diagram of Lithe and NORA DRUM’s individual sounds, often overlapping and feeding back into the other but distinctly their own. 

Lithe’s contribution is markedly lighter in tone. Opener ‘It’s Rhythm’ is an upbeat, hard drum-inflected take on polyrhythmic drum and bass with pitched percussion and wobbling sub bass. The follow up ‘Second Pavilion’ is a lengthy, progressive take on liquid drum and bass that sits somewhere between fast techno and the composition style of Forest Drive West. 

NORA DRUM takes an introspective turn on their half of the EP with both tracks allowing space for mood and texture. ‘Lungfish’ is a rolling dark d&b number where polyrhythms encourage the listener to stop worrying about meter and give in to the feel of the track, with chaotic breaks on the back end that offer little respite. Closer ‘I Can Tell That You’re Trying’ is the heaviest of the four, with a deep, weighty lumber that crescendos into distorted amens and hoover bass."

Premiere: Neana - Shocking

Forced to pause the events in the spring, our restlessness has manifested itself in the form of a debut label release: a 21-track genre spanning compilation.

We chose to work closely with friends and family, artists that have an affiliation with AM, each expressing themselves in their freest forms from broken-techno, glitchy breakbeats and mutant dancehall, to IDM & electro.

De Grandi - How Do You Know (Accidental Meetings)

HOVERCRAFT by @slickshoota

http://teklife57.com/releases/012-SLICK_SHOOTA/

Montreal-based producer & DJ Slick Shoota brings us Function, his debut LP and first solo release on the Teklife imprint. A native of Norway known for his renowned Oslo club night Ball Em Up, he’s been a member of the elite crew since 2015, contributing tracks to the label’s compilations such as On Life Vol. 2 and VIP Trax. Using a unique palate that combines both traditional footwork drums and eclectic otherworld sonics, this album expands on the signature sound he’s been brewing during the course of his career, celebrating his longtime love of the Chicago soundscape, with a healthy helping of UK rave, jungle, and vibes from other fast paced club realms.

Slick starts the record off with Hovercraft, a big burly mutant rap beat riding a glowing titanic wave of jungle subbass, with vicious hi-hats stabbing through the mix. Desire Path follows with hysterical horns cruising along a stampede of erratic Chicago percussion. A glitchy, malfunctioning computer meets drumline stomps on See Me Flex, resulting in a psychotic, yet psychedelic sci-fi soundscape. Ultra-distorted hardcore kicks open up Jellyneck, dropping straight into a dungeon of ghostly vocals and headlong toms. Warehouse 2K opens up the B-side with R&B chops and lasers floating on a charming cloud of pulsating pads. Mad doppler sirens loop around your head on Delahaze, as distant clangs and crashes fight an impatient, throbbing bassline. Classic rave atmospheres are met with Slick’s elegant sound design on MTL Hardcore, his ode to his adoptive city. The album closes off with Special Tek, channeling the signature quirky drum sounds of the late DJ Rashad over a pounding, fast paced house beat, a wonderful nod to the Windy City and its influential sonic culture.

Carving out his own sound from the legacies of Chicago, the UK, and other underground club hotspots, Slick Shoota has found his own recognizable voice within these realms of dance music, and this LP serves as documentation of that solidified voice. Years of studying the masters and immersing himself with their work has clearly paid off, and he’s respectfully taking these sounds he loves in exciting new directions. Bridging gaps both historical and geographical, Function marks a pivotal point in his career, and is clear evidence that Slick Shoota is vital member of the legendary Teklife family.

made a rmx of the amazing track god's chariots by oklou. i was quite fascinated with the arpeggios and the first lyrics. i thought i'd share this bop. had lot of fun doing it.

original track : www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvlJ3keIJdw

the whole album is such a nice pop record.

Note that all profits will go to the Utopia 56 association which does a great field work helping refugees in several part of France where our government is failing to take care of this, only using tools of repression...

Artist: @yilanmusic
Catalogue Number: IM085
Album: Suddenly I Am Falling
Release Date: January 29th, 2021
Format: Digital

Emerging for his second release on Infinite Machine following his highly acclaimed 'Regression' EP with Amazondotcom and Superfície, Leeds - based producer Yilan returns for 'Suddenly I Am Falling'.

The title track opens with polyrhythmic kicks, electric hats and cataclysmic atmospheres that are set to send the dancefloor into a frenzy.

'Static Void' is an authentic Techno Dancehall masterclass with a sharp snare dancing around the syncopated pulse of the track.

Collaborating with Ren for third track, 'Niffler', sees the duo lurking into 90BPM territory for an unstoppable groove with razor-sharp percussive brutality and a masterclass in futuristic sound-design that expands across the entire audio spectrum.

Track four, 'Underwater Construction', is a halftime roller with ramped up distorted hits that emanate from an abandoned warehouse, like machinery exhaling.

'AFADS', featuring collaborator Ebb, launches things back into a rolling abyss like a ticking time bomb of kick drums that poke and play around paranoid lazer stabs and an astounding middle section that will leave you gulping in shock.

Closing the record out with an ambient work 'Lost Signals' portrays softer timbres of birdsong and synthesised windchimes, allowing time to reflect on what is one of the most inspiring talents to come out of the UK underground.

Tracklist:

1. Suddenly I Am Falling
2. Static Void
3. Niffler (with Ren)
