FKOF Premiere!

Hit the buy link to bag from 24/02/22! 
 
"Bristol-based excess are back with a brand new series of collaborative 4-track releases hoping to forge unique and interesting productions from some of the label's favourite artists.

Stepping up for the first edition, Aussie 140 Maestro & excess alumni Ape Suit brings his signature sound on "Mistaken Identity", a stoic dark dubstep banger with snarling basslines we can't wait to hear this one in a dark room with a hefty Soundsystem. 

"Spanning 140, half-time jungle and leftfield bass XS001 sees excess live up to their 'anybpm' mantra."

Mistaken Identity

Ape Suit - Mistaken Identity (XS001) [FKOF Premiere]

The night was dark and cold - it was surprising quite how chilly it could get once the sun had sunk beneath the mountains. For during the day it was the polar opposite - heat beamed down upon the great desert and left no room for anything to grow.

As they travelled across the outback, the only noise they'd hear was the intermittent rumble of thunder in the distance as another storm broke. The wind howled against the rickety old buggy as they sped across the wild sands, across dunes and great plains. 

How had they found themselves out here? So lost and all alone.

It's a bassy heavy Friday we tell you! Drone is a Bristol based producer and dj set to release a new EP packed with raucous sounds for the heads. This one will be released by Sector 7 Sounds and tonight there's a release party happening for those of you so inclined.

"The tracks in Hesitate were largely born out of constraints; some self-imposed and some naturally occurring. A busy home life on top of a fulltime job in software engineering restricted my time to create. Surprisingly, this time crunch was the main driver to compose these tracks at a consistent pace. Given I typically have roughly 20-30 minutes at a time to make progress, I learned to use time efficiently. Allowing space between creative spurts also gave my ideas breathing room and resulted in fresh ears for the following session.

My history of using Max/MSP and experimenting with generative music gave me an appreciation for imposing additional creative constraints, intentionally starting with only a few simple sounds and ideas and slowly building out the structure of the track.

The sounds in these dance floor-ready selections share a common thread, largely centered around foggy or misplaced memories of past decades that evoke a personal yearning and nostalgia. I felt the title of Hesitate was fitting given the feeling of unease provoked by particular rhythms and sound placement in time. The title track, little-o and Keep present this unease through off-beat and broken break patterns and switch-ups.

A huge thank you to my wife Jenny (featured vocals on Sneakers)."

Om Unit and Cosmic Bridge announce "Earthbase" a new club focused release series.

Over to Om Unit for the full announcement.

"I am excited to announce 'Cosmic Bridge - Earthbase Series' a new series of releases that will showcase the more 'club' side of what we do at Cosmic Bridge. The EARTHBASE catalogue numbers will represent music aimed at the dance, whilst Cosmic Bridge's main label series will continue to examine the possibilities offered by exploring the depths of space..."
 

Earthbase begins with TMSV - a label favourite who with his past releases for Cosmic Bridge, have showcased his unique approach to 160-170 bpm music, melding tropes from dubstep, footwork and jungle with apparent ease. as TMSV, Tomas Roels has influenced a new generation of producers operating at these tempos while simultaneously being a central figure in the modern dubstep movement, where he continues to release explosive sound-system weapons.

Om unit says... "TMSV is the perfect candidate to begin our journey with Earthbase. His precision sound-design and expertise as a DJ make for a explosive mix in the studio, so we proudly present EARTHBASE01 - TMSV - 'Ego Death'."


The EP opens with 'Ego Death' - A title which gestures towards the phenomena often reported by psychonauts during psychedelic experiences, a chugging half-time workout complete with old skool dubstep elements and dizzying synth lines. The A2 comes in form of 'Nobody Asks' which goes for the jugular with a 170bpm half-stepping jungle-led frenzy complete with enourmous bass-drone and piercing drum programming aimed straight for your nearest forest rave. The B side kicks off with 'Smarter Than You' which is a thick slice of energetic dancehall junglism with some grime elements thrown in for good measure, finishing with the contrastingly mellow and spacious 'Ending One' which harks back to Cosmic Bridge's early days, taking in a loose 'wonky' feel whilst maintaining wisps of the modern jungle sound. 

All in all a well-rounded set of gear that whilst aimed for your local sound-system, works equally well in the headphones thanks to Tomas's legendary sound-design and mixing skills.

Released on 12" and digital on 8th March on Cosmic Bridge - Earthbase Series.

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.
