Livity

Taken from the 'Drums From The West' EP on Livity Sound.

The next drop on Livity Sound is the first collaboration from long-time label mainstays Hodge and Simo Cell. True to the styles the artists have individually marked out since first appearing on Livity Sound circa 2014-15, LIVITY050 presents fiercely imaginative, upfront club music across a spectrum of tempos. 

The supple, fluid approach to electronic music the two producers are separately known for feeds into a cohesive partnership, whether they’re turning their hand to dancehall-inspired, sub-100BPM heavy hitters or jagged, technicolour half-step tapestries.

Released 26 Nov 2021.

Medusa

Hodge & Simo Cell - Medusa

This Friday, @parris_dj releases his long-awaited debut album, Soaked In Indigo Moonlight, on the can you feel the sun label he co-runs with Call Super. The album is rooted in the pop music he loves but characterised by his own inventive rhythms, joyful vocal features and the many different emotions associated with personal relationships. It comes after years of colourful and psychedelic takes on bass and techno on labels like Idle Hands and Hemlock, and marks a new high watermark in his already assured discography.

On this week’s mix, Parris threads together all aspects of his sound - there’s restrained bass music, lively grime and novel techno. Each one is skewed through his own lens and served up with compelling energy. Despite the physical results, the dynamic grooves retain the sort of depth and detail that keep your head as busy as your heel.

Hodge with Rhyw - 09 December 2021

When Ploy released the 2018 club smash 'Ramos', it was clear he’d hit on a winning formula.

Like the music of his Timedance label mates Batu, Bruce, Lurka et al, this was slick, modern dance music full of know-how and technical trickery – but it was also cheeky, with an infectious energy that gave it head-turning appeal and real staying power.

Ploy's contribution to our Crack Mix series maintains this same energy as well, as it races through themes and styles that influenced his 'Rayhana' EP – out now via his new label Deaf Test.

Crack Mix 430: Ploy

For 10 years, south west label Livity Sound has been at the forefront of a wave of sound that’s been dubbed as anything from “distinct”, to “Bristol techno”, “dubby and innovative” to “broken techno”, even “Bristol bass-techno”. Whatever you want to call it, Livity has been busy capturing a fragmented energy of bassy and hybrid UK club sounds for the last decade.

Ahead of their birthday party here in Farringdon on Friday 6th May, honcho Pev has gifted us a mix – a flavour of what to expect when *that* Bristol sound comes to the club.

Al Wootton - 08 October 2022

Bringing in Tapes #86 is Violet. In her home city Lisbon, Violet is contributing to her local scene from different angles. She’s co-founder of online radio station Rádio Quântica and also resident at mina – a queer rave in unexpected venues. This work permeates Violet’s work as an artist, as she thoughtfully expresses the political history of dance music through her voice and her music.

As a producer, she has released music on One Eyed Jacks and Love On The Rocks, self-released collaborations with artists likes Elles, DEBONAIR and Nightwave for International Women’s Day, remixed on Cómeme and established her own label – Naive. The first self-released EP on it, “Togetherness” resonated widely, using the sound of familiar breaks and twisting them into new contexts with dub-inspired bass, brass flourishes and dreamy chords. 

Violet incorporates similar sounds from her production process into her DJing, melding breaks, extraterrestrial jacking rhythms, imaginative techno, acid house and more in a way that feels natural and challenging all at once.
