ne of the great losses in our modern download era has to be the erosion of the link between music and physical art. In the days of vinyl records the artwork, the best of which was often on large gatefold sleeves, would be taken home and pored over by the music buyer. This made it a massive part of the experience, with artists being specifically chosen to create work to compliment what you were hearing. This relationship was certainly damaged by the shift towards CDs as the importance placed on the visual element was reflected by the physical reduction in size of the images. As we moved more towards transferring our music to digital forms, the CDs would often be left on the shelf, never to be picked up again, the booklets often never having a page turned. With many of us purchasing music outside of any physical format altogether, the once all important cover art has been reduced to a digital thumbnail that hardly warrants attention.

Four Three Six are seeking to replenish the links between audio and visual artforms in a highly original way. Rather than creating release artwork to be be put on a shelf, or even on a wall, their concept is to create 'wearable releases' by first passing the music to a physical artist and asking them to use it as inspiration for a piece of design. This in then screen-printed onto high quality T-shirts along with the tracklisting for the release inside the shirt. A tag on the shirt carries a unique code to download the music itself. Rather than taking the artwork home, you get to take it out with you.

For its first release Four Three Six turn to two men at the top of their game. The music comes courtesy of James Mannion, who has been honing his craft for half a decade producing music from right across the electronic spectrum before engaging fully with Bass music. The 'Creeper' EP sees him taking elements of House, Garage, Breaks and Dubstep and merging them into something unique. Dark and sinister but driving and dancefloor in equal measure. Lead track 'Pronto' has already picked up DJ support from Sinden, Doctor Jeep and Vanilla Ace.

The T-Shirt design comes courtesy of Bristol-based and internationally-exhibited artist and designer Mr Penfold. Working in sculpture, painting and screen-print Penfold takes classical and street influences and blends them into his own signature style and here he presents bold and futuristic shapes that marry perfectly with Mannion's sound.

Four Three Six will look to offer something new in this more disposable era, with both fresh new talent and established names on board. This release is the first of just seven planned for the next year, the focus being on quality rather than quantity. With the music being mastered on analogue equipment to give extra warmth and events featuring DJs and live musicians combined with wall projections and live painting, the world of Four Three Six promises to be a totally immersive one too.

A driving force of rhythm from Brazil’s underground, RHR (@rhrmusiq) grew up in the favelas of São Paulo, where the raw pulse of the streets, from the directness of rap to the fire of funk and the thunder of drums, became the foundation of his life and the essence of his sound. It’s a sonic DNA that makes his work impossible to imitate. Whether channelling techno infused with grime, or reworking bass, dancehall, electro and baile funk, he bends each form into something feral and untamed, igniting heat and blood rush on the dancefloor.

To date, RHR has released five solo EPs, each one a kind of sonic document, mapping the layered histories and realities of São Paulo and translating them into electrifying soundscapes. Alongside collaborations with Mamba Rec, Omnidisc, Pac Recs and Nice and Deadly, he is also a core member of New York’s TIJOLO Records, leaving a distinct imprint across the global underground network.

On his birthday, we are honoured to share this special mix, a journey deep into Brazilian culture, both rugged and refined, primal yet intricate. It stands as a mirror to the country’s underground: wild, turbulent, and utterly magnetic.

*recorded live in Field, ON at Best Out of Town Year 5 (08/31/25)

Misty river, gentle day break, paradisal peaks. This was more than a sunrise set from a featured guest. Toumba generously wove the varied throughlines from across this year’s lineup into a deep, driving, and fresh as hell testament to the power of shared sound. Only an astute listener can pace and phrase like this - cymbals come and go with ease, vocals extend and recede to make space for new melodies, and before you get too comfy there comes a new low-end theory to unfurl. Whether or not you heard it live, welcome back to the suspended reality of a longform party with plenty of life left.
