Melbourne-based, UK-born Jack Rayner, aka Hedchef, is back on Ecke Records for a 4-track EP, with collaborations and remixes in equal abundance. He was first welcomed to the label via his electro scorcher ‘Solid Lobster Exoskeleton’ on our Various Artists release ‘Friends of Ecke’ (FOE101) back in 2021.

For this instalment, he leads proceedings with an absolutely pumping 4-tracker, presenting broken-beat electro, four-to-the-floor moments and 2-steps - melancholic bass-rave meets throbbing euphoria; raw power with added introspection.

Featuring collabs with electro-bass connoisseurs Doctor Jeep and Desinformant, with remixes from Hermeth and Ecke Records’ own production duo Squallfront.

Opener 'Could We Not Have Asked For A Smaller Void?' is a locked-groove broken beat melter, merging dramatic claps, whirring synth accents and an insistent, bleepy earworm motif to form an unorthodox yet dancefloor-ready DJ tool.

Hedchef joins forces with Brazil-born, Melbourne-based electro scientist Desinformant for the devastating breakbeat slammer 'Aiming For Oblivion' - strap in for disjointed vocal chops, space-age synth work and unrelenting bass pressure.

New York's notorious BPM cowboy Doctor Jeep works with Hedchef once again for 'Orders Of Magnitude'. Following on from the pair's collaborations on the Doctor's 'Deep Red' EP which dropped on Worst Behaviour Records earlier in the year, the energy is cranked up for an energetic bass-techno banger with unpredictable sound design switches and full-pelt kick drum assaults throughout.

Closing off the original cuts, 'The Presence Of A Gaping Hole' is a futuristic club weapon of two halves, opening with melancholic pads and gritty percussive rhythms before melting into a spacey and atmospheric four-to-the-floor pulse.

Ecke Records kingpins Squallfront take on the opening track for the first of two remixes, taking the catchy groove and screeching accents of the original and adding grime-tinged rhythmic switches, old skool electro fuzz and a chunky broken-beat throb.

Closing off the EP is an abrasive and uncompromising interpretation of 'Aiming For Oblivion' by electro-punk hero Hermeth, who twists the track into his signature distorted style with polymetric vocal hits and club-ready breakbeat force.

Undefinably pushing the boundaries of traditional electronic music once more, Typeless taps into the advanced and developed sound of Yerevan based electronic producer, Dave N.A. with the release of ‘Solo Move’.

Aligning with the label's recognisable mixture of both experimental and broken-beat sounds, Dave N.A. not only powerfully brings together both elements, but flaunts melodic ambient overtones – focusing this release on both the listener and the club.

Berlin-based Ecke Records prepare to issue ‘On How Not To Become The Monsters We Despise’ from UK-born now Melbourne-based producer Hedchef...Our pick is opening track ‘Could We Not Have Asked For A Smaller Void?‘. As the night begins, it feels like a deviant Gqom anthem blasting through a sultry warehouse in the middle of a semi-deserted grassland. With a blend of broken beat arrangements combined with syncopated chords and followed by mind-numbing vocals and dystopian arpeggios, Hedchef wraps up a peak-time cut that will please high-spirited villains only.

In making this track I accidentally deleted the original file. However, I'm pretty pleased with this version which I've been sat on for a while. So here's a free release of a tune that would otherwise just be sat on my computer.

The track samples the iconic footballer, TV host and musician Dion Dublin demonstrating his Dube drum.
