Memory Distorted

FKOF Premiere! 

Stoked to premiere new French imprint @baitlabel and their debut release from @hyaser. In their own words, Bait is "a French label focused technoïd-dubstep fitting the likes of artists like Killawatt & Ipman, Kryptic Minds or even Pinch. It's groovy, it's trancy, it's the melting pot of exciting genres resulting in a deep and dark soundscape fit for the club."

This is the first tune from BAIT01EP, with the second from @artroniks coming shortly after. You can pre-order via the buy-link, or wait for the EP to drop 30/06/23. 

ICYMI, label boss @beatrice-triste guested on this month's FKOF Sessions show with an hour long techno/ dubstep/ everything in-between mix. Check it for a taste of what Bait has to come!

"Up first, we've got French-bass talent @hyaser, capable of mastering any kind of UK-influenced genre, whether it's garage, dubstep, jungle or breaks. Alongside his beautifully groovy track, we've got legend ARtroniks back with his unique sound: unclassifiable cross-breed dubstep. His track 'Tension' certainly lives up to its name. It's an honour to have him on the label, as his production were a huge influence in the artistic direction."

Korzi - Shatterproof

Marking a triumphant return to Left, Right & Centre after a four-year hiatus, Korzi unveils his latest EP, Cracked Plates. The Manchester-based producer, who co-founded the label and party series back in 2018, delivers a bold and boundary-pushing release just as the collective celebrates its seventh anniversary this spring.

Off The Hook leads listeners into darker, more mysterious territory. With echoing claps and a tension-building framework that has become Korzi’s signature, the track feels like an eerie descent into the unknown. Wobbly basslines and light overtones provide a flicker of optimism amid the track’s shadowy undercurrents.

PREMIERE: Korzi - Off The Hook [Left, Right & Centre]

Peace Portal is pleased to premiere Should Be Looking by @arinakrondeva forthcoming on @maudevos @delusional_records

Full release available here:

https://arinakrondeva.bandcamp.com/album/scattered-2

Influenced by her current Florida home, Arina straddles the long stamped history of Florida breaks and modern day experimental club music. With this body of work, Arina carves her own path of zany eccentricities, emotive solitude & club kinship, while paying homage to the influential club scene that shaped the breakbeats we know today. 

The sounding of Scattered materialized during a time Arina was fuzing the old and new elements of self. She funneled the overwhelm of feeling "scattered" & torn into this EP. We feel the energetic push and pull throughout this body of work in her quest for clarity & connection.

Hear more from Arina via our interview on the Peace Portal website:

PREORDER: https://echotrainer.bandcamp.com/album/ecva002-5-years-of-echo-train

'ECVA002', aka '5 Years of Echo Train' is a newly announced compilation by the Ōtautahi/Christchurch label of the same name. The imprint is celebrating its fifth year in rotation with a collection of tracks contributed by those who have already featured in its half decade life span.

One such contributor is Jagā, Echo Train's founder & conductor. 'Beam Trace' is a spacious showcase of Jagā's evolution not only as a label head, but a producer too. Rhythmic percussion is met by sci-fi melodies and breathy vocal samples, pushed along by electro-inspired key stabs.

Of the track, Jagā shared:

"The core of the song is from a dream I had aboard a distant space station. A pervasive vocal features throughout, which channels the crew's voices across the ship's intercom. The song unfolds through three emotional phases - a descent into darkness, a brief moment of uneasy stillness and an overwhelming intensity.

It all makes sense to me when listening, haha. It's always fascinating to hear how others perceive my art."

The release is in part dedicated to Lui Mill, a collaborator & friend of Echo Trains who sadly passed away last year. "We are honoured to have his incredible talent featured on this release," Echo Train shared.

'ECVA002, 5 Years of Echo Train' is available via Echo Train's Bandcamp & a very limited number of cassette tapes this Thursday, May 8.

PREMIERE: Jagā - 'Beam Trace' [Echo Train Records]

The 3rd track off Lurka's EP 'Signal' on GRACE is a breakbeat trip through skippy, swirly incantations. 

Lurka - Spells (GRACE003)

PREORDER: https://echotrainer.bandcamp.com/album/ech011-dharma-rats-flying-brick

Ōtautahi/Christchurch label Echo Train Records returns in 2025 with the release of a double single by Social Sport, his first since the alluring 'Lora/Lexa'. 'Dharma Rats/Flying Brick' is a dive into the producer's forward-thinking approach to electro, techno and UK bass.

'Dharma Rats', featuring label cohort Shli, is a pulsating, drum-heavy heater sure to electrify any floor. 

Of the release, Social Sport shared:

"I didn’t have any reference point for these tracks, the inspiration was more of an image than a sound. I wanted to capture the static electricity of a dark, crowded room, everyone locked in to the flashes of white light.

The first track features a cerebral vocal chop from Tim (Shli), lifted from an unreleased idea we made together about five years ago. Our tight-knit Ōtautahi bass scene is always a subconscious backdrop for my work, so having Shli on the release felt like a meaningful way to close the loop."

'Dharma Rats/Flying Brick' releases via Echo Train's Bandcamp this Friday, August 22.

PREMIERE: Social Sport x Shli - 'Dharma Rats' [Echo Train Records]

Label boss Dubrunner steps into the ring to close the EP. His remix of Onstera strips the original down to a raw, incisive workout — razor-sharp drums, heavy on the bass. Built for a sound system dystopia.

brrrr (extended)

Constant, denial.
You are not enough. Are you not enough?

The friction of thoughts will always be there.

Take a breath. Look at the sky.
