@larus-sounds

FF011 sees Bristol-based DJ and producer Larus flip a Kendrick classic into a devastating 160 number. This Kung Fu Kenny anthem has been particularly popular recently with Ferguson and nickname providing huge edits on Taipan Trax and Extra Spicy. However, there's no doubt that Larus puts a unique spin on the sample. Samurai-style choppage and a contorted bassline will almost certainly blow your system :)

As a co-founder of excess, who have quickly become renowned for their ANY BPM mantra, Larus is pushing all kinds of leftfield goodness out of Bristol. With previous releases on excess and Nu Kvlture, as well as a stunning 100% Dubs mix, there's no doubt that Larus is one to watch! 

Big thanks as always to Zonna for mastering and Alex Kubis for the unreal artwork!!

Third single of Maloca, Vol.2 forthcoming on Dec 8th
maloca.bandcamp.com/album/maloca-vol-2

« Founded almost four years ago, Le Motel’s Maloca Records has excelled in world-building as it tirelessly brings together some of the best and most innovative artists from different pockets of the club community around the world. This is showcased most notably through the compilation series which returns for its second volume on the 8th December as it combines both established and breakthrough artists.

Across 17 tracks, Maloca, Vol. 2 features both label family and exciting debuts with the likes of Farsight, Griffit Vigo, and DJ JM returning to the imprint. The rest of the compilation sees knockout contributions from the likes of Bambounou, Flore, Konduku, Tristan Arp, NVST, De Grandi, Neida, Cheb Runner, Malo2k, Leese, Ultima Esuna & Destrata, Mika Oki, M I M I and Space Drum Meditation. Whilst these artists may be from different cities across the pond, they all have something in common - they are leading the way for the next wave of club music. Whether that’s the riotous sounds of NVST, Griffit Vigo’s ever- evolving landscape of gqom, Tristan Arp’s signature insect-inspired soundscape, the emerging Brussels-based artists M I M I and Mika Oki or the trippy, introspective melodies of Konduku and Space Drum Meditation. Maloca, Vol. 2, captures a mind-melting moment in time.

The artwork is by Brussels-based painter Anastasia Bay who’s work presents a renewed vision of the human figure. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, Anastasia Bay’s work is all about contrast and balance. The choice of a precise fragment of reality in her works dissolves any narration. »

More Time Records continue Timewarp, their run of 12 releases in 12 weeks, with a 3-track EP from Bristol based UK Funky producer aæe. His previous contribution to the label (last year’s raucous Switchblade EP, in collaboration with Bandi) was widely supported in the club by the likes of Martyn, Skream, Toddla T, Emerald and many more. 

aæe is a regular feature at club night’s in Bristol, also running his own series of events ESO which covers a wide range of music across the bass music spectrum. 

Dance Rituals begins with the rowdy ‘Pull It’ which is driven by a gritty overpowering bassline which still maintains enough warmth to sound sonically pleasing. “There wasn’t a lot of obvious influences for me on this track as it happened very quickly. I’d say if anything it would have been mainly from DJ Champion’s swing style drums and old-school growling basslines that I drew my inspiraton.” 

‘Get Up’ is originally a track made specifically for Skream’s UK Funky special on Rinse. It is another UK Funky banger but Jair pushes the sound to its limit, with a main ultra-garish synth line which has been tried and tested to move dancefloors. 

On the final track, ‘Drop’ which runs at 160 bpm, aæe utilises the signature “tribal” More Time sound and re-imagines it at a much faster tempo. “The influences for this one was mostly from artists like Dub Phizix and LEVELZ. I love the way their tracks punch through the mix with really heavy subs grabbing everyone’s attention in a club when it drop.” 

aæe’s productions pack bags of energy and he is definitely a name to look out for in the future.
