For the 25th broadcast of Ashtray Monuments, we're thrilled to have our longtime homie and early supporter SBR aka "B-sides Braun" (@brn451)on board. Dive deep into an eclectic interplay between straight drum patterns and broken beats, dubby chords, deep pads and unpolished sounds!

ASHTRAY MONUMENTS VOL. 25 - SBR

London based producer, Morse Audio co-founder and Origins Sound resident Primrose readies five cuts of green coloured robotics and underwater-pop on Situ Records with the Highways and Treetops EP. 

Channelling the worlds of dream-pop, house, funk and techno, Primrose has carefully crafted an aesthetic that he calls ‘Blade Runner Techno’; honing in on cinematic experiences and blending them with deep rhythmic patterns and emotional otherworldliness. 

‘Impossible Summer’ is a chugging cut of atmospheric brain-dance; a wiggling sequence of uplifiting contemporary club, delivered in Primrose’s fresh and distinctive aesthetic, that blurs the lines between introspective home listening and front left.

The EPs title track is a psychedelic trip through the treetop highway. Mushrooms, woodland creatures and colourful flora & fauna appear in the clouds as the walls begin to breathe; angelic analog at its finest.  ‘QTPi’ channels synth-pop influence and combines it with glassy clinks and warm atmospherics on a tropical-trip through the multiverse. 

‘Mourning Song’ takes the EP on a left-leaning route – experimental patterns, brooding bass and glitching electronics threatening to spill onto the floor – before ‘I Tried To’ stays on the exploratory route with something of a shimmering cut of future ambience.

“In this mix, I tried to find a nice middle ground between my old style and what I’ve been into lately. I’ve been moving away from four-on-the-floor rhythms and moving more towards broken patterns, but I wanted to throw in some bass infused, atmospheric and dreamy techno to tie it all together. Overall, the idea behind this mix was to go for a more clubby sound - energetic, percussive and hypnotic, but with some unexpected turns.”

Star-Kid / Lenson / Ian Martin / 543ff @ LRC label launch 14.4.2023

Helsinki based label Friendship & Decadence consists of talented local producers who aim for uncompromised originality and by the sound of their first release deliver it with a bang. Joint Minds - which is a collaboration formed by Kade, Satoi and Poly Sone - debuts on the imprint a two track, acid laced yet ethereal techno record.

Commotion ticks all the boxes for the means to get the crowd moving on the dancefloor; an acid infused bassline, a crunchy rhythm section, a repetitive vocal cut and an uplifting arrangement.

On the b-side the trio takes a step towards a more deeper and modern end with their delicate and atmospheric piece titled Headerstuck. Great track to bust out in most occasions from early evenings til the morning dawn.
