Embodying the mutant nature of club music in the modern age, Cocktail Party Effect comes bowling into Sneaker Social Club with a taut, wiry sound which joins dots and melts barriers at will. 

The brainchild of Charlie Baldwin, who previously recorded as Kasket, Cocktail Party Effect has been forged over the past six years through heavy bursts of sound design anchored by soundsystem dynamics veering between 140 and 160 tempo zones. From 2020’s self-titled LP on Tectonic to drops on Osiris, Cold, Transfigured Time and more, Baldwin’s deftly avoided allegiance to any specific scene and instead deployed shock-inducing gear for DJs with fortitude to test on their crowds. 

On SNKRX010 the commitment to physicality is prevalent across all four tracks, veering from the deadly broken beat barbs and artful fills of ‘Racka’ to the splintered breakbeat rushes and stop-start aggravation of ‘C.A.T.C.R’. ‘Grims8’ is perhaps the purest manifestation of the Cocktail Party sound though, all monochrome rigour with the contrast turned way up, powered by steely, gleaming rhythmic impulses and writhing with dense layers of sonic matter. Watch out for the glutinous bass snarl of ‘58bethe7’ though, which slams in sideways with an unabashed rave instinct crushed through a post-modern production lens. 

Baldwin may be operating on his own terms, but on this 12” he demonstrates versatility to match his originality, resulting in four inventive dance destroyers tooled to bridge between styles, sets and scenes.

lyrics:
would you take me back if i let you go
shelter me if i lost all hope
be my guidance and be my home
would you save me forever
would you take me if i was all alone 
take me in under your halo
shine my way in the darkness
would you save me forever

Premiering "Sing Gaily" by Tooth Rust taken from "Glut" EP out on September 2nd via Early Reflex

Buy: https://earlyreflex.bandcamp.com/album/glut

Alternated rhythmics and melodic synthesizer mix together in ‘Sing Gaily’, the closing track of the EP, where the producer brings together all the core elements characterizing her recent work into a melancholic downtempo outro.

The producer from London debuts on Early Reflex with the experimental downtempo three-tracker ‘Glut’, which blends both organic matter and artificial elements yet thinking about the club.

Tooth Rust said:
“Glut is an attempt to shove organic matter into a grid and introduce it to artificial and synthetic friends, with the hope that they will dance together.”

[Premiere] Tooth Rust - Sing Gaily (Glut EP out now via Early Reflex)

Romain Dessert is a French producer hiding under the alias @snakeleserpent. His previous releases have fed the catalogues of labels such as Le French Work, Club Late Music and Polaar. The guides label's fourth catalogue number goes to this artist.

In 2021, SNKLS released the Half Horn EP, which can be considered one of last year's most interesting footwork offerings. It featured futuristic mutations of footwork music and 160 bpm tempos. The release stood out for its unusual vision and flair. SNKLS's latest album "Glu River" should be considered in a very close sonic relationship precisely with this EP.

"Glu River" starts with a very distinctive opening. The monumental and slow bass strokes of "Sad Bucket" alternate with raspy and mechanical sounds, situating the whole release in a very concrete sonic context. "Le Feticheur" (i.e. Romain's favourite character in the third part of Diablo) is a rushing tangle of sounds from different traditions - elements of IDM, techno, raggatone, metallic drum & bass can be heard here. "Wasp" is an uncompromising production that is set on a powerful beat with a ghetto house provenance, around which futuristic imagery shifts. "Ended The Discussion" consistently combines illustrative and spatial radicalism with massive rhythms at 160 bpm. The title track keeps the listener's attention with cascades of non-obvious sounds that find their continuation in "BT23". - it is here that the vast and ambient landscapes are most strongly associated with the monumental constructions of composer Hans Zimmer. The album-closing "Definition" seems to be a respite for the listener, but the rhythmless spatial composition still manages to inspire anxiety with its dehumanising sound.

'Glu River' is an extremely challenging proposition. Although it is set on a distinct rhythm that refers to the footwork and techno tradition, it creates non-obvious and unreal worlds that can mesmerise the listener thanks to its unique imagery.

We have your first listen to Samsara's next forthcoming EP! Dub Beans is a producer and musician from Rostov-on-Don, Russia. His production style is a blend of Footwork, Halftime, Jungle and Bass Music. He has released on labels like Good Street Records, Iberian Juke & Slime Recordings. 
“They say, the best music is made during the worst times. ‘No EP’ wasn’t an exception for me. All these tracks absorbed all the anger and pain I experienced during 2019. Each punch in someone’s face was transformed into a kick drum punch and each teardrop was transformed into a massive bass drop. Every single emotion has found its interpretation in sound and I’m happy all these emotions left my head and turned into something that inspires other people.”
release date April 20, 2020
