“Chop chop chop” – as the distant sound of a rhythmic reckoning grows closer and closer, we as rave disciples in our purest form can be reminded of both the beginning of this story, as well as its current flourishing state. We recall that past scripture speaks of the birth of our beloved helicopter, which contained a sacred capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). While this capsule exists as physical, musical, fundamental proof of the durability of our “FAST NOT HARD” belief system, we know that all systems must morph into new forms and individualized movements.

With this in mind, we praise the emergence of the HOVER CAPSULE – the first of many sub-discs that expand upon the fast-not-hard gospel through a divinely anointed group of master apostles, each with their own distinctly resonant vision of musical ascendance and serenity. On the A side, three separate offerings point to an originalist form of heli-dogma (chop, chop, chop, indeed!), led by first chosen FAW matriarch Carré and her elected counterpart, the legendary phonic guru Addison Groove. Joining them in spreading this up-tempo vision of sonic prayer are rising duo Baalti, and London underground priest Adam Curtain, each delivering a firm yet fluttery hymn of audible togetherness. On the B, the deeper potential of higher tempos displays in its purest and most tangible form. While Ruby May Moon & Emanuel showcase an offering chock full of emotional, poetic intensity, Introspekt churns and chops it up a notch, infusing dissonance with her signature two-step religiosity. Data Plan & 11:68PM round things out, en(capsule)ating the true musical connotation of an ethos that continues to expand and spread – well, hover.

Syz launches his new label Vitalizm with VTLZM001, a 4 track sure-shot from its founder of wily club rhythms mutated anew through adventurous construction and intuitive dancefloor nous.

Club rhythms for the soul; a nourishing manifesto for the rave, and for Syz a vital spark through which energy and groove emanate. A prolific producer with a beloved back catalogue, he is no stranger to the sounds that embody the propulsive nature of UK club rhythms. Vitzalizm though is a new venture, his inaugural label founded on the promise of showcasing new and varied developments along the Syz sonic journey. It’s a wide-ranging ethos informed via a complex web of influences that continue to make afresh of club music, while also paying homage to the culture of yesteryears with small vinyl runs and limited lathe-cut dubplate specials.

On VTLZM001, the label’s inaugural release, its founder gets right to it. Down & Twist steps first with an all-round sexy affair, a 2 step mover that swivels deftly on its latin inclinations while updating the early 00’s garage template with fwd> attitude. Next, Bakayadaskunka writhes as a complex beast, busy through the broken beat while its tactile low end purrs and throbs within. Fidget goes faster, a tribal wonderland that pumps giddy yet nimble across its myriad of basslines. The Lizm sees us off, a supple percussive playground which swings playful and loose amongst a livewire of subs, weightless pads and a faint dub echo.

A succinct dancefloor statement of intent from Syz, and an exhilarating beginning for Vitalizm.
