“Pulses and Resonances” is Rene Lorenzo’s debut album on Subtempo. This album represents a culmination of more than 20 years of electronic music exposure as a DJ and a clear point of view. We can hear influences of broken beat, techno, drum & bass, all through the unique lens that Rene brings to the table, deeply steeped in ambient, deep techno and downtempo. Even though this isn’t a dance record, it’s filled with energy and drive. It is an out-of-the-ordinary album, with intricate shifts and turns with well-crafted kick drums, round bass lines and enveloping subs. A record filled with warm sounds, head-nodding rhythms, and rich textured spaces. It’s all woven into an easy-listening experience, without demanding the listener’s full attention, but creating a landscape that is unique and varied throughout. We can hear references to artists like Boards of Canada, Jan Jenilek, Synkro and the like.

Premiere | René Lorenzo - Beauty Cycles (SBTMP023)

Well, it's really like that, by surprise, that the second release of the year arrives! On Valentine's Day, Diogo brings us a warm and sweet song, composed in January 2019 with Swilaw. The original track is mainly a House tune with a well-chopped think break and vocal extracts reminding us of Salsoul. A slower than usual track, which ended up being orphaned and which, in 2024, will finally see the light of day.

Completing the release comes a remix by Mário Vinagre, aka Moreno Ácido, which takes one of those soulful vocals, and rebuilds the track, giving it a more melancholic and nostalgic tone. In between, some saxophone solos accentuates the taciturn mood that seems to recall a possible loss. If the original theme is sunny and passionate, this will certainly be its lunar side.

A bitter/sweet treat capable of pleasing everyone, depending on their mood on the occasion.

PREMIERE | Low Tape - Searching Of The Heart [TAKT] 2024

Following 2020’s 'Point Vacancies', the debut EP from Jamie Paton and Mike Bourne’s collaborative act Metal, the duo return with a trio of dubwise remixes from Mr Paton himself as well as a peak-time stormer from fellow Bristol artist, Hodge. The latter immediately sets the record ablaze with a driving thump, duo of grainy hi-hats and a chalky clap. He layers an anthemic three-chord pad progression, building octaves, peppering in arpeggiated bleeps and articulate lead melodies, then tops it off with a few modular elements that retain the character of the original, before climaxing in true rave fashion. Proper. The following three mixes by Metal’s own Jamie Paton make apparent his sonic obsession — the type of infinite tweaking that sees some artists/producers to the edge of madness, or at the very least satisfies some dragon-chasing addiction. There’s a successive deconstruction from 'Remix' to 'Dubwise' to 'Dubwise II', most notably a reduction of rhythm and drum machinery, but also in general tonality. The melody remains central but is gradually obscured, taking on a less and less recognizable form, and by the end we’re left with a skeleton of the track, quips and cranks, an assembly line of aluminum sheeting punctuated by demented nuts and bolts. As with the previous EP, the sparsity of elements illustrates just how far one can twist aesthetics, proving that self-imposed limitations can often propel an artist’s process and land them somewhere unfamiliar, somewhere foreign, somewhere enchanted.

Marking their fifth release, New York-based imprint Artificial Owl gear up to issue the 6-track extended player 'Diskordant' from collaborative duo A_A - a live performance project by Satoshi Tomiie and Nao Gunji...Our pick is ‘Radiant I‘ – a 117 BPM free-spirited dub techno track delving into a below-grounded network of steamy pipelines under the bustling streets of Manhattan. With its dubbed-out rhythms and sluggish soundscapes enhanced by far-out human echoes, 'Radiant I' sounds like a thrilling voyage in which the duo turn back the annals of time.

Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

EtherwerkZ is back with "Ascension Vol. 2", the leftfield-infused second volume of their VA series, once again serving up high vibrational frequencies to create that magic transcendental dance floor experience.

The compilation kicks off with a heavy, raw halftime/bass-hole riddim from Bristol Amity collective's unstoppable Soundboy Elpac, who has delivered nothing but fire output in 2024.

Xen Chron returns to the label with his Xenology-influenced style, sounding something like a 2-stepish take on Autechre remixing a track by Stinson's legendary Transllusion project, perfectly exemplifying his USA - UK relation and connection.

UK bass first team player Product Toss keeping game deep and rolling, but a bit more percussive and bassy, preparing the road perfect for the late night driving in Kid Kun-s German whip with his sub-loaded darkside stepper.

Mexico City's exciting underground club scene don Octoptic delivers an idm-ish technoid breakbeat weapon, ideal for late-night club...

PREMIERE: Kid Kun - Lunar [EtherwerkZ]

The graveyard was empty but for her, she sat perched on a bench looking out as the wind blew softly through the trees. She came here every year to pay homage to what had once been - all the bad, good and all.

Perhaps it was 4hersins that she suffered. Perhaps it was some other reason entirely.

She sighed as he began to walk across the empty field, listening out for the rumbling in the clouds up above, for they always rumbled. Especially in May.

Mulholland is set to release a heavy hitting EP via Amity which features brutal bass, deep subs and enough wobble to blow your bass bin to pieces. Just the way we like it. This one bangs all the way from the top down.

PREMIERE: Mulholland - 4UrSins [Amity]

Andrea Manchini, better known as Cleveland, is next into the FH mix series. Originally from Luxemboug with Italian routes, and now residing in Brussels, Andrea has firmly carved his name into the underground circuit; a result of quality output on releases from the likes of John Talabot’s Hivern Discs, Oscar Offerman’s White label, and most recently a stellar EP on Kalahari Oyster Cult. 

Andrea takes us on a trip for over an hour and a half; deriving styles and intricately hopping from one sound to the next, serving up a contribution that makes seriously thought provoking listening for those mid-pandemic.

In Andrea’s own words: "This mix is a soup of ingredients that could be found in a live club set of mine, mixed with interesting weirdo groovers and some new and unreleased music of mine."
