20🐍5

London-based Benncart returns with another instalment of his Heartcore series, which explores the legacy of British dance music through a footwork-inspired lens with humorously added romantic undertones. Focusing on the first half of the glorious 90’s when jungle reigned supreme, the second volume incorporates numerous tropes signature to the style at the time. Pout-inducing bass, heavily chopped-up breakbeats, dub sirens, and ragga vocal samples are married with futuristic sound design and syncopated rhythms, while simultaneously giving a small nod to golden era hip-hop. The two presented tracks are in significant contrast with each other – “Heartcore Theme” brings forth aggressive, distorted tones, while “That Heartcore Shit” mellows things out with ethereal pads and a more melodic approach reminiscent of the so-called intelligent strain of jungle prominent in the mid-90’s. Both pieces deliver an idiosyncratic take on both sides of the hardcore spectrum that should satiate all junglists and junglettes hungry for a fresh take on the classic UK sound.

Eyes stare 
A Feather flutters 
Can’t see 
But feel the others 

Beaks glare
A shrieking bird call
The tree
From the top they fall

Their flick
It just snaps the bone
A grunt
That shatters stone 

Now quick 
Have to make a run
The hunt
At last has begun

Plasma Sources is proud to present nosync’s Soundsystem Music, an EP which provides a fresh perspective on the high-fidelity and sci-fi influenced electronic music the imprint is known for. 

nosync’s work sits in a truly unique space in the sound system/club music-o-sphere. This in large part is due to his heavy deployment of progressive metal instrumentation, from chugging walls of overdriven guitars to relentless double-time kick patterns. On paper, utilising this palette in a club-music context may seem like an impossible task. However, where others might see a chasm of disparity, nosync has deftly identified the bridge connecting these two genres, seeing in these two landscapes the same desired emotional state - despite the different methodologies used to achieve this. 

“This record attempts to make the case that the essence of what makes these sounds so obsessively loved are one and the same. Gripping dramatism and intensity are the overlapping themes that I have attempted to bring out here, through the record’s sound design and film-like structure.”

Indeed Soundsystem Music as a whole feels wildly cinematic and is as much an exercise in atmosphere creation as music for sound systems, with nosync citing the video game Dead Space and its sequel as key influences for this body of work. From the claustrophobic, elasticated wind chamber of ‘Traced’ to the broken choir voices and FiS-esque ambient abyss of ‘Dead Land’, nosync has expertly matched the pace and atmosphere of these hugely iconic and utterly terrifying video games and channeled them into a purely sonic experience. 

The metal influences nosync brings to the table slice through the entire corpus of Soundsystem Music, although the linkage is perhaps at its most clear on ‘Airlock’, which features a full-on death-metal guitar chugging through the first half. In perhaps the most surprising switch-up of the entire EP, things suddenly twist into a guttural underwater club track a third of the way through. 

nosync’s love for the vast ecosystem of club/soundsystem music also comes through loud and clear on this release, from the grime-inflected leads and hyper-detailed polyrhythmic noise workouts of ‘Unregistered Hypercam’ to the reverberated metal clangs of ‘Kauket’s Arena’ which feels like witch-house on steroids - the soundtrack to some final boss battle with some type of nightmare-demon-entity. 

nosync has achieved something unique with Soundsystem Music. By drawing together a hugely disparate corpus of influences and pummelling them into a noise-fuelled apocalyptic aberration, he has created a sound which feels consistent, fully his own, and in many places, utterly dread-inducing.
