Time Warp Tonic

PAR005 | EBB - TIME WARP TONIC EP

Madison, Wisconsin producer SamLink exploded onto the breaks circuit with his debut EP on Prague-based record label YUKU – exploring classic underground jungle and juke templates and stretching them into new and distinct formats – and now the emerging artist readies four varied cuts of stylish, club-ready breakbeats and bass on Low Battery.

With one gun-finger fixated on the past and the other firmly pointing to the future,  Sam implements a unique form of production within his work. Holding down a full-time job as an artist is never easy, so Sam now works in 20-30 minute bursts, capturing the creative spurts and happy accidents, and allowing space between creation to allow ideas to breathe.

Ragga-tipped jungle at break-neck pace kicks things off on ‘The Breath’; a cut of vortex-breakbeats that strikes a fine balance between meditative and energetic, like all great ragga-inspired cuts should. ‘Uproar’ lowers the tempo slightly in favour of stretching basslines, underwater-wubs and murky atmospherics on a growling cut of breaks that transatlantically shatters over the UK-sound.

‘Chance’ puts the emphasis on ‘less is more’. Stripped-back percussion, nature-atmospherics and hefty low-end bass vibrations combine on a minimal jungle cut designed to vibe in the rave, before Teklife and Cosmic Bridge affiliate A.Fruit rounds out the release with a stuttering breakbeat-footwork remix of its predecessor.

Atlanta resident Nikki Nair invites you to join his new 4 track EP on Astrophonica - ‘Renormalization Support Group’. It’s a place where we can share our experiences via the help of Nikki’s special ‘not quite sure what you call it’ bass lead Electro Breakbeat programme.

Track one is ‘Plug’ - An uptempo low slung booty shaker which will have sound engineers scrambling at cables and faders trying to work out wtf is going on. We’ve all been there so let’s talk about it.

Track two is ‘Where Are U’ and encourages us to ask ourselves that question through the exploration of full speed Breakbeat Electro. If we know where we are, we can begin to look into where we are going. Probably the dance floor.

Track three is ‘it’s NP-Complicated’ which sets out an uncomplicated blend of bubbling bass and simple sympathetic drums, providing us with a network to feel more empowered
and to build a sense of community.

Track four is ‘Donut Time’ - Well done for finishing the course! You can congratulate your self with a donut full of squelchy acid jam, glazed with frosted pads and hi hat sprinkles.

“Together we can help ourselves be alone together.” - Nikki Nair

Resound - Rhytual : Pagan (dBridge's Haltija Mix) [SUBB016]

I was kindly asked by the amazing VST/Plug-In creators Arturia to make a track utilising the new version of Pigments in return for being laced up with a copy and the new complete Arturia V Collection (which has been an absolute must for me for ages - beautifully made and almost impossible to tell the difference VST re-makes of some of the greatest hardware synths in history)

I thought I'd get cocky and make an entire track purely using Pigments - I enjoy limitations, but this was not a limitation; Pigment's is so insanely versatile while also being wide open, nothing hidden so idea to sound to composition was extremely free and exciting.

I used 9 instances of Pigments for this track, no external effects as the effects and modulation you can link up in Pigments is incredible - I highly recommend to fans of Vital, Serum & Massive - this takes things a step further in every way.

As for the track itself I went with a pretty raw 'minimal but confusing' approach - taking a lot of influence from Grime, Dancehall & Techstep DnB and a slight bit of footwork - I often enjoy runnning different sequences in different timings e.g. kicks in triplets, snares in dotted, and delays, reverbs & LFO's all in different speeds of the above - while not a complex track by any means it's proof that you can create a pretty hoofing and mentally engaging track with purely one synth and a few simple tricks

I'm hugely against Hardware Fetishism and hate how electronic music (music as a whole) is becoming an art form for the privaleged - you don't need anything but ideas and great and affordable software.

We asked Om Unit for some more info.. here's what we know.

"Phil called me up in the early Spring telling me a load of tall tales about apparently having been abducted by aliens. I didn't really know what to believe because the stories were all pretty weird tbh and I can't really go into it here but I'll just say he's soundtracked some of what happened in the form of a set of DJ tools for Astrophonica' This is going to be the third and final Philip D Kick release for Astrophonica to complete a trilogy. What the future holds who knows!"

Kicking off 2023 as we mean to go on Pugilist & Tamen step up for the 1st of a flurry of release’s that we have planned for this year, Luke & Alex emerged on the Melbourne scene in 2016 when they moved from NZ/Barcelona respectively and were united through their love for Drum & Bass/Jungle music The prolific pair have put out music on labels such as 3024, Trule, Tempo Core, Repertoire & Run It Red.
This release sees them cover a wide range of styles all set within 160 + BPM  Jungle / D&B framework “Lithium” sets the tone of the EP with frantic Hardcore Drums underlined by the deepest of subbase’s set against dark & brooding soundscapes.  “Myth” takes things a little deeper but still keeps the energy levels high with 4X4 kicks Jungle Tekno style, accompanied by rolling breakbeats & Lush pads.  “Synesthesia” is more dubbed out affair with tape delayed chords, woozing pitch shifted bass notes and razor sharp break edits. To round off the EP we have killer remix from contemporary Jungle dons Dwarde & Tim Reaper who take the title track up a gear for full on breakbeat Jungle Armageddon !  This is pure sonic weaponry of the highest order all 4 tracks guaranteed to test sound systems enjoy!!

DEXT017 - Pugilist & Tamen X  Dwarde & Tim Reaper - Lithium EP (Clips) Out 17th March 2023

Three years after their first collaboration, culminating in the release of “The Passenger”, Om Unit and Martyn are back on 3024 with another four track exploration of tempo and vibrations on a new EP called “AJ^6”.

The two ‘veteran’ producers have been highly prolific over the past years, with Om Unit making waves with his massive Acid Dub Studies project as well as new work under his Philip D. Kick alias, and Martyn spearheading and mentoring a robust group of new musicians responsible for no less than five (!) compilations on 3024. What brings the two producers together in the studio once again is the constant hunger for new and interesting sounds on the outer rim of the ‘bass continuum’. Instead of tirelessly rehashing old tropes they are continuously inspired to write new music that’s both current as well as firmly in their aesthetic profile.

‘Basilisk’ and ‘The Trenches’ are great examples of the duo blending odd tempos with dub wise heaviness. ‘Basilisk’ has already been doing some serious damage on the dance floor with its punchy 107 beat structure and headzy breakdown, while the almost imperial march of ‘The Trenches’ introduces a bubbly bass line. ‘Illroy’ and ‘Dragonfly’ both inhabit a dreamier, more melodic universe and have a timeless, ambivalent quality to them, somewhere between a lost b-side of an early 00s Hospital Records release and something on Scuffed. Enjoy!
