PAR005 | EBB - TIME WARP TONIC EP

Rising up from the murky depths with a bassweight pressure that proves dubstep isn’t dead, Alan Johnson manifest in the form of four mutant species on Sneaker Social Club.

Tom Neilan and Gareth Kirby have been knocking around for a hot minute, slipping out some crisp steppy variations on the on-point Mindset label circa 2012, while as Alan Johnson they first joined forces for a 12” on Blank Mind the year after. Their appearances have been scattered since, but the work in the lab has continued apace, as was keenly demonstrated on a four-track drop for the Art-E-Fax label in 2020 – something of a sleeper hit for those with their ear in the bassbins.

On their first step out for Sneaker, Neilan and Kirby make a bold opening statement with ‘Stillness’. Reaching for an eternal poem by Count Ossie as a guiding voice, we’re thrown into a hall of mirrors where the dead space is as potent as the looming bass. Picking their stripped down sound kit wisely, Alan Johnson craft a minimal sound wrecker of seismic magnitude. Get this on a rig and all your questions will be answered.

Elsewhere, we’re treated to the seasick synth shanty ‘Compactor’, a dance stopper with audacity hardwired into its composition. The swerves come thick and fast, but executed with an understated poise. Over on the B, ‘Pleasure Principle’ hits with a freakish impact, all bruising pressure cross-contaminated with analogue mangling. ‘Duppy Sea’ completes the set with another surprise swerve towards a Johnson twist on dubwise abstraction. At this point it’s clear the pair have a sound – gritty, roughed up but still crystal clear in its execution, and they can turn it to a lot of different disciplines. Here’s four such demonstrations of their devilish intent – now where can we find more?

Alan Johnson - Pleasure Principle

Last Japan, Escha, Ausschuss, and Midwife hit up NTS once a month for a showcase of the best UK dance has to offer, picking threads through hardcore, jungle, garage, grime, dubstep and beyond.

In our last offering for '22, Ultraviolet takes over for an electrifying 150bpm ride through ambient jungle and electro, with a selection of his favourite tunes. Will had his Echo Train debut in 2020 with the mesmerising two track - G0-45T/U, and its an absolute honor to have him back for the mix series <3 //

LCY - 16 March 2023

The Hamburg - Berlin connection is strong at DARK REAL DARK. Not only because many of our members are living in these two cities, but there's also constant interaction and conversations between crews and artists from the German capital and the northern bass hub. 

One of the interesting new faces of Bassmusic there is Sarah Q, who blessed us with a stunning mix for our podcast series.

Music has always fascinated Sarah endlessly - ever since her brain started forming thoughts and maybe even before that. Her first rave experiences were key moments and she immediately knew that she wanted to DJ, but it took some years to move from the dancefloor behind the decks. It all started with her and DJ Babyblade (fka Claud) playing a back-to-back set for the capsule livestream. Shortly after, Freddy Kuno gathered Usus, Selsela, and Sarah Q to form the crew KINETIK SESSIONS. They started throwing small parties at Astrastube and also had slots at Waagenbau and Fusion Festival. In recent months, Sarah represented the crew at renowned clubs like Uebel & Gefährlich, Golden Pudel, and Südpol among others.

Her podcast for DARK REAL DARK features a mixture of deep and dubby afrobeat tunes with a dark tone running through the whole mixtape. Get ready for some future shit from Hamburg!
