Hessle Audio are excited to announce the release of the self-titled debut album by Pearson Sound, aka label co-head David Kennedy. Characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide. Recorded between 2013-4, Pearson Sound documents a distinct phase of Kennedy's studio explorations. "I had a signal chain set up that I was really happy with, and I started sending my machines through the same processes" he says. Expanding upon the techniques underpinning his recent REM and Starburst 12"s, its tracks emerged swiftly through improvised jam sessions; some were captured in a minimum of takes, while others later took shape through extensive sculpting and post-processing. "A lot of it was made by feeding the the same sounds between two different pieces of equipment and they'd end up feeding back between each other and snowballing. On some tracks it's about harnessing that and taking it to the brink before it disintegrates, and some of them are about just letting it go full-blown out of control." The result is a record of striking contrasts: bold, stark and visceral, yet also subtle, harmonically complex and deceptively playful. While Pearson Sound's livewire percussive energy remains inextricably rooted in the club, this exploratory studio process has created Kennedy's most wide-ranging yet coherent body of work to date: a suite of thrillingly impulsive, expressive and open-ended music, untethered from restrictions of form.

Music is my heart feat Jimmy

The wheel within the wheel kept spinning as the motor from within began to roar. The engine gasped and cried as he pelted full throttle across the bareback desert. Sand roared under the screeching tyres. The brakes shuddered under the strain. The wheels kept spinning, an infinite loop, a dada loop of the most hideous of proportions. The sport had long been associated with trouble but for one reason or another nobody had been able to bring themselves to call time on the event. This was it. 

Fly High Society come correct with a split ep from Contours & Dada Cantona. Here is the Contours track which blends elements of jazz and house in a soulful fashion.

You know when you're itching for a certain someone to release new music...you're not sure when it will arrive but you're confident it'll be class. This time around, those records come from Brisbane producer Charles Murdoch. After catching the ears of the Future Classic crew many moons ago, thanks to his ever-graceful productions, he's been on a steady incline.

After bunkering down for a good half year or so, we now have the 'WTBL' EP and we're wrapped to be premiering its title tune. We've been told Murdoch invested in a new toy not too long ago, namely, a modular rack synth. This fresh piece of gear has lead him to explore an after dark avenue, or early morning one, however you look at it.

'WTBL' is a twinkling rave. Crunchy percussion and erratic synths engage in a brilliant conversation. An abrasive thing of beauty I'd call it. I once went to an illegal rave in a drainage pipe and I would have loved to have heard this there. The rest of the EP is in a similar vein, bar the opening tune 'Annoying' which is like a trip to Saturn's rings.
This latest body of work, will be out via his fellow countrymen Beats Of No Nation, who've previously pressed records for talents such as Leon Revol, Jad & The and Chord Memory Band. Charles once played in a band (Super Fun Bumper Edition) with the legends who now run B.O.N.N. It's great how things come full circle.
