Midnight Manoeuvres steps out of the shadows, scans the room and proceeds to melt minds and bodies with Pastime, a freakishly accomplished 4-tracker that sees the London-based artist carve out a new breaks inspired direction for himself.  

An intrepid and meticulously realised effort, Pastime sees the scales perfectly balanced between retrofuturism and cinematic club pressure and marks out Midnight Manoeuvres as the perfect torchbearer to move Badlands forward.

Next up in our Floorless Festival takeover is resident DJ Flatcap who's speedy subterranean session is a masterclass in tension building as it excels in pace, rolling through trippy techno and electro weapons with interims of blissed out dub and bass to bring you back to Earth. 

Flatcap is a London based DJ, formally piloting Bristol’s Beeswax parties, now long-term Floorless Resident and co-founder of forthcoming label/party Elastics.

Taking place from the 4th - 6th August, Floorless Festival was a natural response to those lonely months brought on by the pandemic. The Floorless brand originally started as a series of club shows run by a group of friends who are DJs, promoters, producers and music lovers and have since hosted parties at venues such as Corsica Studios, The Glove That Fits, Venue MOT and The Carpet Shop. Over the years it has grown into an event with a real community spirit, seeing the same faces on the dance floor of every event. This extends into the festival where the music policy represents a breadth of UK clubland with a focus on local talent; last year's festival line-up included the likes of Mi-el, Allecto, Alicia, EMA, Melati, Manami, FAFF and more.

Floorless Festival takes place from the 4th - 6th August - buy tickets here: https://floorlessfestival.eventcube.io/events/41856/floorless-2023/

After heavy-duty releases on self-administered imprints Low End Activism and Sneaker Social Club, as well as London’s beloved graffiti-laden mutant-bass stronghold Seagrave (RIP), the almighty Low End Activist makes a welcome debut with the ESP Institute. No stranger to mining distant regions the hardcore continuum and the residue of soundsystem culture at large, his relentless traversing and assembling of U.K.-specific rhythms demonstrates there is no end in sight when it comes to evolving the region’s musical gene pool. The 5-track 'Gossip Is The Devil’s Radio' strings together a smear of dystopian instrumentation—ghostly pads wrapped in melancholy, percussion that marries bleep with low resolution shrapnel, and vocal fragments that resemble a control tower’s two-way radio on the fritz—all imperfectly focused through a damaged lens of dancehall. We’re drawn to a dull moan that pervades throughout the record, reminiscent of the nihilistic moments in Abigail Meade’s score to 'Full Metal Jacket' where the sonics resemble a slow churn of molten steel occasionally punctuated and pierced by crystalline shards. The depth between the bone dry immediate foreground and distant wet background creates an exquisite sense of longing which isn’t inherently dark or menacing, but seductively bleak. As voyeurs, we may certainly appreciate the aesthetic LEA portrays, but we can’t fully comprehend the sense of escapism rooted within this music without having come of age in the damp and restless confines of England on the cusp of Thatcher’s abuse. Its a reminder that the light at the end of a tunnel, while it may be dim and grey, is still a light after-all, and the only way out is through.
