The sky seemed darker tonight, even the pollution of the nearby city didn't effect its clarity. Usually the stars were barely visible, lost behind a murky opaque film but this evening they were more dazzling than ever before. As if by magic, a shower of meteors cascaded across the sky, bursting forth and illuminating the atmos. In that moment there was no picture more beautiful than the heavens above.

New York's Club Night Club return for their second release following Herron's 'Lowflow EP' in February. This time they've set their sights on Paris and mysterious producer Design Default, who delivers a package of club-focused productions, which mark his first proper venture into peak time sonics. Alongside a remix from label co-founder Significant Other, the ‘P.H.A.N.E.S’ EP matches frantic broken rhythms, metallic textures, rumbling low end and dystopian atmospheres.

XTCLVR, the brainchild of Ukrainian sound artist and audio producer Artem Diachenko from Buchan near Kyiv, is set to release a new album titled 'INVERSE' on Standard Deviation. XTCLVR cinematic soundscapes have been featured in Standard Deviation’s audiovisual project 'Ridne' showcased at the CTM Festival in Berlin, ICA London and La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris. Known for his deep involvement in Kyiv's underground music scene, Artem is also a key member of the Pep Gaffe and Ejekt collectives, representing a fresh wave of Ukrainian independent artists dedicated to alternative and experimental sounds.

XTCLVR's music is characterized by deep, enveloping ambient passages and sharp synthesizer elements that often transform into hip-hop and dub bass lines. The name XTCLVR (ecstasy lover), created in 2019, humorously echoes with the techno culture.

'INVERSE' unveils a different facet of XTCLVR’s sound, with heavier and more aggressive tones. The traditional genres dissolve, and a grotesque tone draws the listener into a surreal, chimeric journeyThe album blends rich synthesizers and post-club polyrhythms with euphoric, upbeat elements, maintaining his distinctive style. Written throughout 2022-2023, the tracks on 'INVERSE' reflect a time of emotional instability and a dream-like state: is this all for real? The music features liquid sonic textures that escalate into distorted synths, fractured noisescapes, and eerie melodies. A standout track, 'FEEL ME', poses a bold inner dialogue, questioning reality itself.

'INVERSE' will be released on Standard Deviation on the 12th of July 2024.

We are proud to present a very special V/A on Loose Lips, bringing together a range of artists from across the world who we’ve connected with throughout the last 6 years of our LL journey!

The wide range of music chosen echoes our passion for unique music from all horizons. From raucous soundsystem music of many forms through to pertinent poetry, crazy industrial experiments, chilling ambience and eccentric breakbeats.

100% of profits from this release will be donated to a very worthwhile cause, the Ruff Sqwad Arts Foundation - Grime pioneers Rapid and Slix (Prince Owusu-Agyekum and Ebenezer Ayerh) started this foundation in 2017 in order to help create opportunities for young people who have incredible talent but who are from a less advantaged background, thus potentially not having the chances to develop their skills to the fullest.

Having been inspired by the sounds that spawned from Ruff Sqwad, other Grime originals, and so many other resulting waves of UK music, it was so energising to find out more about this amazing work that has evolved from it.

They approach education and collaboration in an incredibly genuine and musically apt way - creating a bridge between grassroots ethics and industry ambition.
