Guava - Afterglow [FP008]

not even noticed are an incredibly talented German duo who have been laser focussed on their signature sound since their foundation in 2020. Hailing from Frankfurt & Leipzig, Carsten & Lucas have amassed a gorgeous catalogue of music that incorporates the ethereality of Trance combined with the gritty, heads-down feeling of classic Acid House and Breakbeat. Their latest EP Source Transformation lands on Faux Poly this Spring.

This release showcases the artists inherent flair for treading the line between delicately uplifting melodies and rattling heavy bass. Each track conjures up a beautifully atmospheric future-acid world that is a dream to get lost in.

Words from the artist:
We started producing this EP in the late summer of 2023 in which some of our project’s biggest releases had dropped. Seeking for a way to stick to our signature sound without repeating ourselves we aimed for new grooves and patterns to combine with our sound sphere. The first three tracks of the EP were produced within one month, while Astral Surge was a few months older and happened to be rearranged to fit into the overall vibe of the EP. When Joe and Warren reached out to us to work with them on a Faux Poly project we had a feeling that these would be the tracks that could make an EP. We’re even more glad the feeling was mutual.

PREVIEWS : https://soundcloud.com/fauxpoly/max-ulis-nina-adam-2-mythra-previews

Faux Poly welcomes more newcomers to the label this summer, this time with a heady collaboration between Vancouver’s underground mainstay Max Ulis and Bristol-based Nina (aka 1/2 of DE-TÜ), featuring a bonus track with Adam 2.

Their EP Mythra was born out of opportunistic collaboration in Vancouver, while Nina was in town for a show. The lead track Culture was put together quickly and instantly the two artists knew that they were on to something good. This track, along with Bumpa & Papaya showcases a confident, hardware-focussed minimal techno sound with unmistakable elements of classic bass & dub. In-keeping with the Faux Poly imprint these tracks comfortably straddle multiple dance genres and are built for the club.

Finishing off the EP is the stellar dubstep curveball Testify, a collaboration between Max & Adam 2 using the unique Soma Enner synth alongside vocals from Nina.

Max has been instrumental in the building of Vancouver’s thriving underground and is a regular on the West Coast festival circuit. Max’s diverse music productions have found a home on labels such as Turbo, VRNT, Iile, Club Designs, Sloth Boogie and Thirty Year Recordings, and has seen support from DJs such as Ben Sims, Prosumer, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flugel, Anz, Skream, B. Traits, Soul Clap, and Om Unit.

Londoner Joe Milli joins the Faux Poly family this summer with his instantly classic EP Manifest Leisure. As a long-standing staple of Peckham's music scene, Joe has held down residencies at Tola, Balamii, Rinse FM, and now SWU.FM, along with hosting a packed out in-store party at Planet Wax earlier this year.

Joe's sound is based upon Techno and UK Funky through and through. His radio shows and DJ sets reflect an eclectic taste, branching confidently from these genres, perfectly encapsulated on this release.

Together at the end of 2023, all four tracks rely heavily on the Vermona Mono Lancet bass synth along with steady drum-tool like rhythm, always shining a light on the delivery: super playable club music that isn't overworked. Spanning Techno & Bass, there's a proper UK Funky groove embedded throughout the whole EP.

`Running In Your Area` is our third release of 2022 from label bosses @kassiansound. The release solidifies the mood of the label, moving towards a heavier techno sound just in time for their Berlin debut at Panorama Bar this summer. 

`Off World Vehicles` is simple and surprisingly explosive, a weighty statement techno track suited for bigger rooms, featuring a slow churning acid line and cavernous vocal loop.

Faux Poly welcomes Jay Carder to the family with her debut EP Entropy, a headsy blend of UK Bass, Techno and Breakbeat.

Jay is already one of the busiest DJ’s in the UK, bubbling up rapidly because of her stellar DJ sets that step effortlessly between sub-genres of Techno, Bass and Garage. Since linking up with label bosses Kassian several years ago, Jay has been working out of their studio (38 East) in Hackney Wick to refine her sound and prepare her first release. The result is a gorgeous and carefully considered set of club tracks that faithfully reflect her DJ style and energy, this one is not to be missed.

A note from Jay on the EP: “The idea of Entropy has always fascinated me – the idea that the world is always degrading/moving into disorder and towards chaos. As humans we are always trying to actively stabilise this. Which feels like a good way of describing this EP”

Brooklyn newcomer No Sir (@no_sir) joins the Faux Poly family with their new EP ‘Voyeur’, a release full of rich syncopated percussion and expressive soundscapes that document the artists’ evolving perspective on club spaces and home listening.

The record leans towards sub heavy broken beats, resulting in a confident contribution to the flourishing NYC Bass scene. Despite being based in Brooklyn, No Sir has already broken ground in Europe with singles on 3024 & W133.

“I started producing this EP at a really challenging moment last summer after I got a concussion that left me pretty much bed bound for a month. During this time I also quit drinking, so my relationship to music and going to clubs saw a complete overhaul. This EP is my attempt to find a space in between the hours spent at my quiet apartment and my return to these loud, dark spaces I see as another kind of home. The title track, Voyeur, was the first piece of music I made after the injury” - No Sir

1. Shimmer
2. Fade
3. Hollow

Continuing the vein of transforming their creative process, label bosses Kassian release their 4th EP on their imprint Faux Poly. ‘Intimate Empty Club Room’ delivers rich layered soundscapes full of experimental harmonics and an unwillingness to be tied down to any specific club genre.

The EP explores different senses of space, tone and reverberation, which are characterised in the name of each track; Shimmer, Hollow & Fade. The names themselves reflect the aesthetic of the rooms that the tracks were designed for.

PREVIEWS: soundcloud.com/fauxpoly/remixed-003-previews

Faux Poly wrap up the first wave of remixes to their early catalogue with Remixed:003. Once again calling on friends & family throughout the scene to contribute something new to the early sounds that established the imprint back in 2022.

Kicking things off is Edmondson with a stunning garage reinterpretation of Kassian’s ‘San Junipero’, the track that launched Faux Poly. Labelmate Ste Roberts’ follows up with a bursting dancefloor flip of ‘Actions’, and Manuel Darquart joins the ranks with an intricate Italo-inspired version of ‘Off World Vehicles’. Poison Zcora’s impressive melody-driven adaptation of ‘No Clear Shape’ draws inspiration from Funk, Afrobeat and Broken Beat, blending chords with off-kilter melancholy melodies. Christian Nielsen's curveball remix builds on a darker Techno aesthetic half-timing and transforming via a completely unexpected Dub breakdown.

Blomfelt & Narby, as well as Long Island Sound, seamlessly fuse big room Trance elements with intimate Electronica harmonies and melodies Bristol based duo Earthnut delivered a playful Garage pinger of Jay Carder's heavy hitter 'Eva's Stoned’, whilst Tom Jarmey’s remix of her track ‘Reverse Disorder’ pays homage to the expansive sound design of Dub and Trip-Hop. Completing the lineup is Geneva-based DJ and producer Olive T with a stunning ethereal remix of Akkala Falls, and finally London’s Joel Blaise with a groove filled lofi remix, rounding off another Faux Poly: Remixed series.

2023 has been a great year for Bradley Hutchings aka Guava. Alongside many successful dance singles and remixes, his self-released debut album ‘Out Of Nowhere’ is a gorgeous blend of indie electronica that steps away from his typical club focussed productions. 2024, however, sees Guava move back towards the dancefloor with his latest EP Afterglow, which drops on Faux Poly on March 8th. Since rooting himself in Berlin, Guava has drawn inspiration from across the different facets of the city, something that is strongly reflected in this release.

The opening track ‘Angel’ is a dark trip, born out of experiments with reverb and guitar harmonics influenced by UK Bass and Dubstep, an ethereal techno track described by the artist as “guitar music for Berghain”. Next up is ‘140 Drums’, an essential DJ club tool, a chopped stuttering break and hoover bass roll through a restrained but surprisingly heavy hitting finale to the EP. 

‘F641’ accelerates with continuously pitching synth stabs and a rumbling low end. Inspired by F1, the track hits hard and never stops ramping up. Finally the title track ‘Afterglow’ brings a lightness and warmth to the release, delicately catchy and rooted with a bouncy house beat, the sound of Berlin in Guava’s productions is unmistakably clear. 

Words from Guava:
"Putting together this EP has been a joy for me. All of the tracks are little bookmarks for the past year. I live in Berlin, and it has had an immersive effect on my music. From the grey and cold winters, trudging down a windy street in Warschauer Straße, to the hot summer in Neukolln, where the air is thick and warm, and dance music echoes off the city buildings

Afterglow [FP008]

PREMIERE: Guava - Angel

The car accelerated quickly forward as it moved between gears. On either side he could see faces flashing by as the pace grew faster and faster. It was dark in the distance, soon the crowds would cease and he would be left with only the other racers for company.

He could hear the engine roaring beneath him, it was strained and mighty.

Smoke billowed from exhausts, then it all went dark as they hit the end of the tunnel and returned to the night.

Guava holds no punches with a new EP for Faux Poly, this one is a bass focussed affair with rising synths, frenetic energy and a sense of immeasurable tension. This will do damage in the clubs. Be warned.

Faux Poly welcomes more newcomers to the label this summer, this time with a heady collaboration between Vancouver’s underground mainstay Max Ulis and Bristol-based Nina (aka 1/2 of DE-TÜ), featuring a bonus track with Adam 2.

Their EP Mythra was born out of opportunistic collaboration in Vancouver, while Nina was in town for a show. The lead track Culture was put together quickly and instantly the two artists knew that they were on to something good. This track, along with Bumpa & Papaya showcases a confident, hardware-focussed minimal techno sound with unmistakable elements of classic bass & dub. In-keeping with the Faux Poly imprint these tracks comfortably straddle multiple dance genres and are built for the club.

Finishing off the EP is the stellar dubstep curveball Testify, a collaboration between Max & Adam 2 using the unique Soma Enner synth alongside vocals from Nina.

Max has been instrumental in the building of Vancouver’s thriving underground and is a regular on the West Coast festival circuit. Max’s diverse music productions have found a home on labels such as Turbo, VRNT, Iile, Club Designs, Sloth Boogie and Thirty Year Recordings, and has seen support from DJs such as Ben Sims, Prosumer, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flugel, Anz, Skream, B.

Joe's sound is based upon Techno and UK Funky through and through. His radio shows and DJ sets reflect an eclectic taste, branching confidently from these genres, perfectly encapsulated on this release.

Together at the end of 2023, all four tracks rely heavily on the Vermona Mono Lancet bass synth along with steady drum-tool like rhythm, always shining a light on the delivery: super playable club music that isn't overworked. Spanning Techno & Bass, there's a proper UK Funky groove embedded throughout the whole EP.

Tracklist: 

Joe Milli - Mono

PREMIERE: Joe Milli - Body [Faux Poly]

We kick off our brand new Faux Poly Mix series with our latest signing Joe Milli / @joemillimadeit - Taking us through his eclectic world of UK Funky, Techno and bass music.

"A mix to me is a really good DJ diary entry, I don’t like to plan too much but more gather a bunch of tracks I like, pick a start middle and end and got from there. The fun is in the spontaneous energy being made to constantly think on your feet. 

This mix is made entirely of new finds, recent selections, my own productions and some Percy’s thrown in for good measure. I always try and chuck in some tracks from friends and family where ever possible!" - Joe Milli
