Thin That Blood Down (Excerpt) [RENT016]

Bluetoof & Theo Everyday - Spillage In The Arcade

Destrata - Muscle Memory

Grid Records turns one. A widely welcomed addition to the scene turning out consistent releases that have landed in the bags of Ben UFO, re:ni and Giant Swan.

The French mainstay is headed up by Gautier Scaringella, aka Clad which places an emphasis on forward-thinking artists from all over the world, showcasing artists such as Kevin Murf, Christian Coiffure, Reality Check & E-Unity. Clad's eagle eye comes into the fray by uncovering superb artists such as Doline and Ltd Colours, each with their own debut EP on the French imprint.

The label has gone from strength to strength over the past twelve months, showcasing how diverse the palette of this label is becoming. From the polyrhythmic techno of qwqwqwqwa to the intricate sound design and ambient soundscapes of Kincaid. Clad has set the foundations for a superb imprint that is set to stay for a long time.

Their one-year compilation celebrates heavy-hitters such as Henzo, Sputnik One & Tristan Arp and then flipping it to the more intricate sounds from K Wata & Mistareez.

Grid has really come together with an all-star lineup for this record, a beautiful demonstration of an exciting beginning.

Da Capo al Coda

PREMIERE: Sputnik One - Connected by a Wall [Grid Records]

Following a debut appearance on the reverse label in 2020, Bristol-based artist Ido Plumes is back on Livity Sound with four tracks of experimental dance music for soundsystems. Plumes established his sound with pointillist drums and echo chamber atmospherics the first time around, and now he builds on that premise with a more dense and dramatic approach.
Plumes’ layered tracks follow non-linear narratives, switching lanes and exploring unusual, evocative landscapes while retaining a fundamental physicality. Longer form tracks like ‘Afloat’ cover a lot of ground across their run time, while the likes of ‘Been Here’ revel in audacious plot twists to create strikingly confident and original variations on the UK dance music tradition.

Waiting 4 Us

Ido Plumes - Waiting 4 Us

The 12" brings these four artists who have close ties to Chris Farrell’s Bristol based label and shop.

Bruce with a contemplative dancefloor dub in tribute to Alex T, esteemed Leeds record shop worker and DJ.

K-LONE delivers a subtle and subby house roller.

Rhythmic Theory with a bumpy and bassy techno track.

Glances bring a deft funkiness to the broken techno sound.

This is the end of a chapter. The last Idle Hands release for the time being. The shop continues and new projects beckon

@awo_ojiji debuts on Control Freak for the long awaited return of our White Label series with his ‘Solidify EP’ - four percussive, wonky & propulsive club cuts, complete with a remix from label heads Customer Service & Finnaman.

Based out of Graz, Austria, Awo Ojiji has been quietly carving out his own lane in the leftfield techno & bass music world. Distinct, detailed and fundamentally genre-fluid, his oddball productions cross a range of stylistic influences and tempos, purpose built for the explorative DJ.

Early support on this one from Laksa, re:ni, Gramrcy & more - very limited pressing of just 300 hand-stamped records - don’t miss your chance to grab one.

Awo Ojiji - Solidify EP [WLFRK003] - Previews

We’re thrilled to welcome Jabes for his debut on Timedance, following up on releases for Klunk and collaborations with Happa.

The London-based producer delivers a couple of tried and tested peak time mind-benders. Both tracks are designed to encapsulate the feeling that the entire room is about to take off, speakers, dancers and yourself included.

Super charged with bass weight, this pair of tunes carries irresistible propulsive powers fueled with scintillating hi-teq sonics and sleak percussion work, providing the prescription to help dancefloors ascend into pure madness.

Taken from DJ Plead's "Quick' EP for Livity Sound out 28th Oct 2022.

Two years since his Going For It EP, Livity Sound is pleased to welcome back Sydney’s DJ Plead for a second round of versatile, psychedelic club variations. Since debuting around 2018 Plead has forged a distinctive sound which focuses on inventive use of percussion and elegant melodic hooks that draw lines between global dance music cultures without adhering to any fixed formula. 

From the carnival futurism of lead track ‘Come Quick’ to the infectious reggaeton lilt and understated trance synths of ‘El Es’, Plead presents a sound as playful as it is serious, predominantly exploring the 100 bpm tempo range. Shaped out by acutely angled rhythms, shifting time signatures and bold licks, Quick EP further establishes him as a vital, individual talent with the kind of flexible club tracks that bend between scenes and inject vibrant energy into the dance.
