We Out Here

We Out Here is the highly anticipated debut EP from Dublin’s Plus One on First Second Label. The prolific musical polymath lays down 4 sub-wrenching club tracks indebted to hardcore futurism with a canny pop sensibility.
Plus One is an alias of cultishly adored producer Matt Finnegan, a veteran beatsmith behind multiple productions for Irish rapper Kojaque, amongst other impressive credits on an expansive CV. He concurrently eyed up the dancefloor, stocking an impressive hard drive of unreleased club tracks that were subsequently rinsed heavily by the likes of Ben UFO, re:ni and EMA to name but a few. 
This is his solo debut proper, and comes impressively fully formed from the off. We Out Here starts the engines with a deliciously sub-y stepper of epic big room potential, with a fittingly large bassline to boot. Hood Up Head Down is suspended in an aqueous ambient-drowned RnB bath before unfurling into lush 2-step in romantic fashion. Kiki bobs assuredly along a breaks-y techno pulse amongst a twinkling twilight melody and an emotive reese-bass stunner of a line. Me concludes the EP on a necessary 160 tip, flexing a modern jungle rinse out with sharp amens and soaring melodic subs to round off this statement of intent. - Nevan Jio

Devon Rexi return with Mini-LP “Biya Ba Man”, a new and improved take on the no wave steppers and post punk grooves of their debut “Tambal EP”.

The five track Mini-LP sees the band expand to a quintet, with originators Nic Mauskovic (drums and vocals) and Nushin Naini (bass and vocals) joined by Tobias Jansen on turntables, Lyckle de Jong on synths and effects and Goya van der Heyden on percussion.

The extra players collaborate to send Devon Rexi’s sound in new directions, amplifying the already extra-dimensional vibe. Synths and vinyl manipulation render a trip hop vibe to the post punk brew, reminding of zoned-out jams like Maxinquaye, or those heady early Mo’Wax.

Opening track “Sjikamo” sets the tone at a deconstructed hip hop tempo, samples spliced up like a classic Celluloid album. “Fargh Nimikoone” ups the pace with a funky 135 bpm lean, and Nushin’s harmonized vocal sounding ever more alien over the conga rhythm. “Marde Pir” closes the first side at another beatdown tempo, the drums flexing like factory pistons. 

The B side fires up with “Biya Ba Man Biya” - a proper steppers bounce, Nushin’s farsi singalong chorus is as catchy as it’s ever been. The Mini-LP concludes with “Koja Raftan” bringing plenty of Bomb Squad energy, crescendoing in fine maximal percussive style. 

It’s no wave, but not as we know it. With new members bringing effects and collage elements to the spacious minimal wave core, there’s plenty of avenues for future formations of Devon Rexi to explore.

SON12-005 - Devon Rexi - Biya Ba Man (snippets)

Jonny From Space is the moniker of Miami-based producer, DJ, and co-founder of Impacto, Jonathan Trujillo.

After two EP’s on Omnidisc and a few more self-released, Incienso is excited to announce his debut solo LP, ‘back then I didn’t but now I do’.

Loping drum loops, warbling synth lines, sun-streaked pads and voice amble into the depths  of the humid world Jonny’s music inhabits, where tempos shift and often float off into the ether altogether. 

In the words of JFS himself- this album is “built 2 chill”

Ar Ais Arís Compilation 001

Bonk

Dublin’s @plus-one1 chases his Hessle and Four Tet-tipped hit ‘Bonk’ with five cuts giddy garage, bass and dembow for Galway's @ar-ais-aris

Premiere: Plus One ‘Sweaty’

We're delighted to premiere the brand new track "BOMBER' from Plus One as he returns to Ar Ais Arís records following the spectacularly received ‘Bonk’ last April for the West of Ireland label and club night. This time, Plus One delivers a full five-track EP and the London-based Dubliner takes the opportunity to flex some bass heavy styles.

The EP opens with saucy summer garage, delivered over quivering bass and a killer vocal hook. Elsewhere, the intensity (and BPM) gets dialled up a notch on more energetic bangers like ‘I Can Live’ and ‘Sweaty’. The EP concludes with dark, dembow riddim ‘Zero Chance’, laden with bass and detail - a firm AAA favourite.

Ar Ais Arís Vol 2 is out this Friday and you can find the the purchase link here: https://mattfinneganplusone.bandcamp.com/album/ar-ais-ar-s-vol-2-plus-one
