Joey - Ten Sixty [ELCT02]

🇫🇷
Presque un an après le premier volume, la série Risky Business est enfin de retour avec un nouvel assortiment de riddims endiablés, concoctés par un assortiment de talents internationaux :

Étoile montante de la scène montpelliéraine, affilié à Plaisance Records ainsi que l’équipe Monstart, c’est Pura Pura qui ouvre l’EP avec un riddim sombre et martial.

C’est ensuite le nantais Dites Safran, récemment aperçu sur l’excellent label de Toma Kami Man Band qui lui emboîte le pas avec un morceau aux sonorités organiques et méticuleuses.

On traverse ensuite l’atlantique avec le montréalais SIM, sorti à plusieurs reprises sur l’inimitable Nervous Horizons avec un DJ tool mélodique et entêtant.

Retour en Europe avec l’irlandais Glimmerman, boss du label Thrust Collective et auteur d’un EP remarqué sur First Second Label.

Le bristolien Jurango, signé sur Livity Sound, Pressure Dome et plus récemment chez nos camarades parisiens de Resources est également de la partie.

Et pour compléter cette belle équipe, le londonien Dome Zero, vu sur Accidental Meetings et All Centre, livre un morceau syncopé au sound design biscornu.

Almost a year after the first volume, Risky Business is back at last, with a new roster of mad riddims by a selection of international talents :

Rising star of the Montpellier scene, affiliated with Plaisance Records & Monstart, Pura Pura opens the release with a dark and martial track.

Then come Nantes-based Dites Safran, recently seen on Toma Kami’s Man Band outfit with a meticulous and organic sounding riddim.

We then cross the Atlantic to find Montreal-based SIM, multiple Nervous Horizon signee with one of his melodic DJ tools.

Back to Europe with Irish producer Glimmerman, boss of Thrust Collective and author of a remarkable EP on First Second Label.

Bristolian Jurango, signed on Livity Sound, Pressure Dome and more recently our parisian colleagues Resources also hops on the roster with a sick riddim.

And to round up this brilliant team, London based Dome Zero, seen on Accidental Meetings & All Centre, signs off on a syncopated, left-field banger.

@syzuk self-released his Mindforms mini-LP in 2020, stepping away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one'.

The original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes. @tammohesselink brings deep, European techno flavours to the slate.

MR002 sent in direct from Brno covers a sub-scape of sounds reflecting a current shift in the scene. Count’s sophomore EP showcases a versatile and refined style both in idea and application. Brno’s newest emergence has already had a hand in much that the scene has to offer. Between being a resident/booker at filtr and a regular host on Infame Radio, many have heard count playing at other venues such as Vitamin, Fraktal, and Ankali.

Taking form over a range of bpms, three original tracks accompanied by two remixes come together to shape this tightly knit project. The first track on the EP aptly named “WORK” is an enigmatic drum puzzler highlighted by the familiar voice of Missy Elliot. The track also comes as break-y dance floor heater when remixed by Brazilian -> Berlin based producer/DJ alys(alys)alys. Moving forward to “SPLIT”, a slow stepping wub of a track that is sure to take even the most menacing systems to the red. Stocked with its fair share of change ups, the track also gets tuned to run quick in a remix by Australian producer Lithe. The remix features a rendition of the track reminiscent of a calmer time, although still with its full share of sub attacks. The EP closes with the more introverted rhythm of “STICK N POKE”. This final track finds its niche within the opening or closing of a set when atmosphere is at a premium.

Fetus, who has been gaining more attention with releases on Turing, the label he co-hosts with Oyubi, and on TREKKIE TRAX, will be released on 85acid.

The album begins with Wave Wave with its uplifting bass arpeggio, followed by Martian with its unique breaks and organic vibes. The title track, Flat W, showcases an even kick, and closes with Bug Bait, one of the most functional DJ tools on the album, with precise programming and sound design backed by Drum'n'Bass' experience. The ultimate club tool has been completed.

Artificio’s cofounders, Passq (fka Arcane Prospect) and Rainmaker, take their sound in bold new directions with a four-track EP that mixes raw energy with sharp, forward-thinking production. Kicking off with «Midas Touch», Rainmaker blends his techno and ambient roots with fresh ideas, setting the tone for what’s to come—deep basslines and rich atmospheres that hint at his past while pushing into new territory.

Passq follows with «Sin Perse» and «Randy», where intricate sound design, distorted rhythms, and heavy bass are combined with a touch of dark humor. The EP closes with «Amour Fou», a “hyperbass” track, filled with both longing and optimism, echoing a desire for transformation.

A Fuego Y A Fondo is Artificio's statement of intent—a fierce commitment to pushing sound to its edges, challenging norms, and keeping dance music untamed.
