Gent1e $oul keeps evolving his dancefloor meta with "Block Printing '', the latest EP on Fast Castle. This DLC consists of 5 stripped down, effective takes on UK Bass, Dubstep, Grime and Baile - excellent for outright late game domination. The vinyl comes in hand-crafted sleeves produced in an ancient woodblock printing method on a manually operated, pre-industrialisation printing press.

Sonically, Gent1e $oul further distills his style by fusing different sonic spheres and bass music styles across “Block Printing''s chapters: Profoundly effective 4-bar grime meets transparent electro breaks on “Heated Shot”, with it’s hi-tek sounds forcing early reactions from the floor. “Siege Ram” is a techno x steppers crossover that packs the punch to keep your opponents stuck in the dark ages forever. “Untitled” channels baile cues into a rigid, progressive club cut, while the B-Side offers a UK Techno meets dembow deepness with “Fortified Walls”. Rounding off the proceedings, Rolex3k makes here exec. producer debut with a feature on “Turtle Ship”, a deeper-than-deep dub stepper.

"Block Printing"’s cover, conceived by Fast Castle’s visual mastermind Jonas, depicts an emblematic circle monograph hinting to prehistoric scenes and ancient legends. Special care went into the production of the DIY-printed record sleeves: Individually crafted on an ancient 1820s mechanical press and printed in a block printing-like technique from a laser cut wood negative, each of the edition-of-200 vinyl copies is a one-of-a-kind artifact to worship and rinse repeatedly.

Very special shout outs to Jonas from 200 Kilo on this one conceiving and realizing our most ambitious artwork project to date. Also, out to Scape Mastering for the sound optimization and RWDFWD and DnP for international distro services!

I recorded this EP during 2023 in Janakpur, Nepal. I woke up at 3AM and started recording sounds of trucks and cars passing by giving a doppler effect to the tracks and a chilly wintery night atmosphere.
I know I have been putting out a lot of music, I think it's time to slow down a bit.

Berlin-based French artist Vonverhille and Parisian composer REMO, the duo behind DEF MUSIC, have unveiled the project’s debut EP ‘Life Drawing’. The project finds its home comfortably on LAN, an originally Berlin but now Naarm/Melbourne-based label by Willis Anne.

‘Love Audition’, the release’s 5th track, is a pacing, speedy and introspective dive into EBM and proto-trance.  Swirling synths are kept in line by consistent claps and percussion, peppered with moments of reprieve and punchy kicks. 

Of the release, label head Willis Anne shared that:

“Fusing REMO’s deep-rooted psytrance and bass influences with Vonverhille’s signature experimental and electro sound, the release channels their distinct musical journeys into a raw, club-driven experience. Hybrid creation, 'Life Drawing' offers a vivid portrait of their shared sonic universe, and marks the culmination of their years-long collaboration, first sparked by a track on a compilation, now fully realised in this electrifying joint release.”

‘Life Drawing’ releases digitally via LAN’s Bandcamp this Thursday, April 10.
