Forest Drive West 'Neptune' [Rupture]

Lunar

Black Sky

New French imprint Bait is a label focused on the cross over of two spheres: snare heavy bass-music and immersive mental techno. The outcome is technoïd-dubstep that is psychedelic, minimal, contemplative and at the same time calls for gun fingers and backspins.

The label's 4th release, 'In the Dark', is an EP by Ambit, an Irish producer and DJ whose dubstep and drum & bass releases have been energetic and dark, notably on Woozy label (Dublin).

This release is made up of 3 tracks, the title track 'In the Dark', a second track 'Run', and a remix of 'Run' by Parisian 140 boss Argo himself. 'In the Dark' lives up to its name, offering percussive halftime sounds with undulating basses, dark vocals and a generally abysmal ambience. Argo's remix flirts with techno and dubstep traits, creating an elegant yet chaotic jerky rhythm.

To celebrate the release, Bait is inviting the Woozy label for a collab party at Point Ephémère in Paris on January 27th 2024.

Aroma Nice and Earl Grey’s Monologue duo debut on Rua Sound with Keano Traxx. A playful study of technicolour breaks in 4 wide-eyed varieties, stuffed with tight drumfunk dynamics and melodic warmth.

A junglist’s haze shrouds the muzzled braindance ballistics of Monologue, a musical partnership that pairs a 15-year friendship in drum-cutting with a keen flair for melody. 2022’s debut EP Acid Settee for YUKU set the scene, now Rua Sound helps prize open further trails along their introspective club voyage.

Basic Rhythm - Blood Of The Gods (MN012)

Orion Sound Sample Pack here: bit.ly/APHA032_Sample_Pack

Astrophonica welcomes Austin, TX-based finger-drumming beatmaker Flobama to the label for the first time with Orion Sound—a raw, undiluted, and psychedelic take on Jungle, infused with shades of classic Hip-Hop, Jungle, and that indefinable celestial fusion underpinning Astrophonica.

With a background in instrumental Hip-Hop, Flobama has performed live alongside Blue Lab Beats, Shigeto, and The Alkaholiks using a Roland SP-404 sampling workstation. He has also built a dedicated online community on Patreon and Instagram, creating official live video content for Red Bull Music Academy and Roland.

Orion Sound takes this U.S. instrumental Hip-Hop foundation and blends it with modern UK Jungle through a cosmic lo-fi lens. The entire EP was crafted using PotenzaDSP’s recently developed Amigo Sampler, which emulates the signature gritty sound of the 1980s Commodore Amiga—the machine that helped define early UK Hardcore and Jungle music.

Despite Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry being part of the world premiere of the Amiga 500 in 1985, the affordable home computer never penetrated the studios of underground producers in the U.S. as it did in the UK. While the U.S. is known for lo-fi beat machines like Akai’s MPC range and the E-Mu SP1200—pushed to the limits by greats like Dilla, Pete Rock, and Madlib—the original Amiga alumni were dominated by a crew of UK junglists such as Bizzy B, Equinox, Urban Shakedown, Dlux, TDK, Zinc, and Paradox. It’s suggested that megastars like Aphex Twin, Calvin Harris, Mike Oldfield, and Kanye West have used Amigas running various pieces of tracker software, but that distinctive sound will forever be linked with raw, DIY bedroom Jungle.

Orion Sound takes all of this and mixes it into a well-seasoned sauce that is as tear-out as it is cook-out—combining the laid-back, loud-pack sunshine of Texas with the wall-slapping intensity of an East London rewind. Low-riding at higher tempos, it’s not Footwork Jungle, but it occupies a similar furtive U.S./UK mash-up space once held by Machinedrum, Om Unit, Rashad, and DJ Spinn.

To celebrate the EP’s crunchy, cosmic origins, Fracture and Flobama have collaborated on the Orion Sound Sample Pack, created with the Amigo Sampler and available separately from the EP on the Astrophonica page. The pack features 255 scratch-built, handcrafted sounds using hardware such as Korg SV2 keys, a Mackie 1604 desk, and more—all sampled and processed in Amigo. It includes breaks, pads, and bass samples drenched in glorious 8-bit, low-sample-rate sonics—go wild.

Orion Sound is available as a four-track 12” vinyl and digital release, featuring a collaboration with label boss Fracture and artwork by Utile Creative.

Kindness is so scarce these days, it drives me mad.

A.Fruit flies off the hinges — and with her, Egor Konstantinov and Maria Poroshina — in Qurgōn’s third piece: a tribute to the rage that demands to be let out.

For our first release, we teamed up with Teen Film Lab, curated by Lena Vanina and Kirill Kulagin. They co-author with kids from post-Soviet countries to explore how they see the world. Through that lens, beauty sometimes emerges from the mundane; sometimes it zeroes in on what’s unnoticed or hard to put into words.
On this journey, you never know what you’ll find — so off we go.

ITOA EP

ITOA - ITOA EP (RNF006) [FKOF Promo]

@DrJeep makes his triumphant return to Aufect after his previous outing last Summer, that made the title cut “Dissociate” an anthem heard at festivals across the globe. He has gone from strength to strength and continued to release his music on a diverse selection of labels like Tuba, Tumble Audio & Enchufada. Our boy Andre proves that his reputation for producing infectious ear worms is not unfounded and he has provided these completely unique, yet at the same time, familiar tunes. They live up to the hype of last year’s release and build upon Jeep’s already immense stature.
~
This EP is comprised of three original Jeep MD tunes, plus two superb remixes courtesy of our pals Fixate and DJ Madd, whom need no introduction. The whole package beckons to be played at festivals and we’re already delighted with the responses we’ve seen so far. There is absolutely zero fucking around on this EP.
~
“Jawbreaker” gets things rolling with it’s hypnotic drums, which drop into portamento synth riffs bobbing and weaving themselves into the rhythms. Every sound used sparingly and to great effect. “B.C. Mosh” builds with an ominous flute riff that gives way to a catchy saw bass hook, that beckons to its forlorn partner and they have some brilliant moments calling and responding to one another. “Laff Trak” takes layers of sparse percussion and layers an atonal mid-bassline with a warm, low frequency sine wave. Constantly morphing as the low frequencies are filtered in unexpected and clever ways. Fixate’s understated but fierce re-imagining of “Laff Trak” bring us back to a dingy warehouse in 2009, where we’d expect to see Skream or Coki dropping Dubstep classics. However it seems he forgot the sequencer on 170 bpm instead of 140 and we’re treated to something that sounds equally classic and weighty, while deceptively simple. DJ Madd brings the heat on the final remix of “Jawbreaker”. Heavy 808 subs pulse, while a trademark DJ Madd hook skitters around your ears. Layers of programmed breakbeats keep the energy high and bring the release to a satisfying conclusion.

Subliminal Messages (available on Bandcamp)

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.

I like lots of music.
