x-Press 2 - Supasong

Despite taking its name from a rather ludicrous imagined instrument, its been apparent from day dot that Lobster Theremin very much mean business. Since starting in the latter half of 2013 with Palms Trax's instantly beloved 'Equation' EP, Jimmy Asquith's label has churned out wax at a rate of knots. Whilst each release occupies its own stylistic niche, a 'Lobster Theremin sound' has gradually crystalised over time - with the label now recognised for its dusty interpolations of classic Midwestern American House and Techno.

Their latest release continues down this path, with Asquith once again unearthing a gem of an artist in the shape of London based newcomer, Ozel AB. His four track 'Crimes' EP starts with 'Sidestep To Your Left', a smokey cut that sultrily emerges from the mid-winter gloom. The press materials liken it to a, 'forum weirdo's reinterpretation of Moodymann's 'J.A.N' - which isn't far off the mark at all, given its ever so slightly off kilter Motor City throb. There's a slight distance about everything here too - from the detached insouciance of the sampled vocal, to the insistent yet softly lashing chords. With the EP's other three tracks continuing down the opaque trail blazed by the likes of Actress and his Werkdiscs cohorts, 'Crimes' is a collection that's deep, dark and imperfectly formed.

First Listen: Ozel AB - 'Sidestep To Your Left' (Lobster Theremin)

With “Road to Solace,” JÏMONO distils melodic Afro tech to its essence: bold synth motifs, metallic percussion that shimmers and strikes, and a deep, rolling groove holding everything in place. The track unfolds with patient momentum, layering tuned hits, complex textures, and rising synths work into a warm, widescreen sound. It’s the kind of cut that locks a dance floor without shouting, drawing you forward bar by bar.
The arrangement favours feel over flash. Rhythms interlock and breathe, synth lines answer one another, and subtle FX swells keep the energy in motion. Hints of classic melodics sit alongside Afro-percussive push and pull, landing in that modern space where atmosphere and movement carry equal weight. Whether opening a sunset set or peaking a late-night run, “Road to Solace” is built for long blends and heads-down immersion.

GRD004 - Solitary Dancer

Out 30th September 2016 on Vinyl & Digital - https://tinyurl.com/GRD004

For its fourth release, Harry Agius aka Midland's Graded label has signed its first new act in the form of Montreal-based Solitary Dancer. With ‘Desire & Apathy’ being instantly familiar to anyone who heard Midland's Essential Mix earlier this year— in which it subsequently proved to be a much asked about inclusion— this eponymously titled release marks the debut of Solitary Dancer, as well as Agius' second time stepping into the role of label A&R following Hubie Davidson's appearance on Graded's ‘Regraded' sub-label last year.

From the opening moments of the EP's title track it is apparent why Aguis welcomed this release to the label, with 'Desire & Apathy' highlighting Solitary Dancer's similarly shared talent for elegant, richly-sculpted sound design and a knack for propulsive club rhythms that eschew rigid 4x4 drum patterns. 'Desire & Apathy' takes a classic electro beat and through the use of elegaic pad washes and swells of sinister bass notes morphs it into persistently engaging shapes. 

The B-side's 'Paradise Found' is a suspenseful coralling of intriguing sonic elements, with its fractured beats combined with a cinematic sense of drama and melancholy that's brought to the fore on the beatless 'Rapture Version' which brings Solitary Dancer's first release to an impressive close.

@bawrut - Sub Club on Orchid-AM presents Unity. 

While scientists are working on finding a cure for the COVID-19 virus, we, humans, can only spread love and support each other. Orchid-AM can only spread love through music and by uniting artists and clubs that are kept apart at these difficult times. 

We have asked producers and musicians represented by the agency to come up with some new music in one week, and then name it after a club they hold close to their heart. We have packed it all in a ten-tracks compilation released digitally via @Bandcamp, in hope for a return to normality soon. 

All sales will be equally shared between artists and clubs.
