Pünktlich zum Bandcamp Friday erscheint am 02. April 2021, zeitgleich zum 9-jährigen Jubiläum der Münchener Bassschmiede BREAK IT DOWN, eine neue EP von Cruel Culture & Kit Curse. Gute Nachrichten also für alle Fans zeitgeistiger Bassmusik, die hier traditionell mit intelligent-komplexer Soundtextur zu überzeugen weiß. Inspiration ist hier durchaus das Zeitgeschehen 2020/21 – wie sollte es auch anders sein. Es entsteht dabei ein beindruckend kreativer Ausdruck dunkler Gedanken und Stimmungen. Depression in Moll als Escape Strategie, als Verarbeitung, vielleicht auch als Heilmittel.

Just in time for Bandcamp Friday, a new EP by Cruel Culture & Kit Curse will be released on April 2nd 2021, coinciding with the 9th anniversary of the Munich bass company BREAK IT DOWN. Good news for all fans of contemporary bass music, which traditionally knows how to impress with its intelligent, complex sound texture. Inspirations are definitely the current events of 2020/21 - how could it be any different. The result is an impressively creative expression of dark thoughts and moods. Depression in minor key as an escape strategy, as a processing, perhaps also as a remedy.

In the last few years, Lewis James has gone from being an artist on the rise to establishing himself as one of the most exciting act to emerge from electronic music. His debut EP on Exit Records backs this statement up without question. The features on the EP speak for themselves: Lorn, dBridge and Alia Fresco. Aesthetically Lewis James has put together an EP that traverses different shades of electronica whilst not losing a sense of identity, an identity that is truly Lewis James by way of Exit Records.

Earl Grey - Infinite Loop (LORE 009 A1)

Taken from Artilect - Infinite Tension EP [SMDE21]

Out now on Limited Marbled 12" and Digital - https://samurai.lnk.to/smde21

Artilect's third EP for Samurai steps up the brute force and reflects the current global climate of frustration and constricted energy poised to explode. The title track steps with creeping malice, packing taut combustion with nods to the best of 90's era Dillinja. 'Spiral' is the highlight track here - pure futurism, a frenetic unravelling fireball punctuated with searing amen slices and sub punches. 'FK' is a rugged collab with Quartz that perfectly references and updates the golden era of DnB with tear-out amens and dive-bombing sonics. Final track 'Turmoil' is the 'Spiral' companion track, slicing up the clenched sections with rapid fire break hits that unknot themselves in focused propulsion only to be reeled back in tight for the next release. An EP for our times, Artilect continues to establish himself as one of the DnB scenes most promising names advancing the art form.

Infinite Tension

Artilect - FK (feat Quartz) [SMDE21]

Exit Records is at forefront of electronic music, constantly pushing the envelope in terms of aesthetic and execution.
Label owner dBridge strikes a careful balance between releasing music that serves a purpose for dancers and thinkers alike. The roster of artists involved in the label is allowed express themselves as they see fit with only one stipulation; pushing the genre forward.
The Exit Records club nights are typically riotous affairs- they stand as a mix of the most cutting-edge music crossed with a firm eye on the dancefloor, from stages at festivals to residencies at clubs across the world, the events are known to sell out.
As the label enters its 15th year of existence a confidence in sound and direction has come to the fore and this is what cements Exit Records as a go-to label for those inside and out of the genre.
