The Canadian label Chez.Kito.Kat Records publishes the new LP “Idiocratic Trance Music” by french duo KLUSA DABA. After having already released in 2018 their first glitch idm EP “Landscape”, they are coming back with a totally different mood on this new LP focused on trance experimentation. 
ITM (Idiocratic Trance Music) is a commercial product resulting from the intensive modification of EDMmainstream samples. The album contains 99% loops from commercial “sample packs”. These sound objects are crushed, transformed and deconstructed to make a work with a synthetic and scintillating aesthetic. The use of initial materials that we hated, however, allowed the design of a coherent post-trance album with grainy textures and punchy synths. We want to challenge the excessive commercialization of music where each sound becomes a product and each preset a source of profit. This album allows us to question the relationship between sound and its use. A sound, today, is just an object that must be sold.

Embark on an exhilarating musical odyssey with Neida's latest "Can't Get Enough EP", a mesmerizing follow-up to his standout contribution on June 2023's "Good Vibes Vol. 1". 
Unveiling a sincere exploration of sound and emotion through three original tracks and four remixes, blending rhythm and intensity in a way that keeps hearts racing and dance floors alive.

The EP's title track, "Can't Get Enough," thrusts us into a realm of frenetic beats and palpable energy, creating an immersive experience that feels both sweaty and liberating, while "Hydro" delves into aquatic dreamscape intertwining distortion and trap influences. 
"Trainwreck" propels the listener forward at breakneck speed, capturing the essence of a high-speed locomotive leading us to four visionary remixes adding a kaleidoscope of perspectives to the EP. 

Miss Jay's daring reinvention of "Dirty" sets the tone, with an intense video game-inspired groove evolving into drum and bass, infused with neurofunk influences. Portway's remix of "Can't Get Enough" takes the original into uncharted territories, fusing elements of dnb and electro, creating a futuristic yet vintage sonic landscape.
Galtier's reimagining of "Hydro" paints a sonic picture of fluidity, with a pacey, liquid-esque roller vibe that elevates the track into a conscious, heightened state of mind. Subsism then takes the reins, delving into dub, grime, and trance influences in the remix of "Trainwreck."

The result is a genre-blending piece that adds an extra layer of depth to Bad Tips' exploratory commitment.

Neida - Hydro (Galtier Remix)

Release date : February 16th
Pre-order : gridrecords.bandcamp.com/album/contrast-ep

Grid kick off 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian (@plebeiann). The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

With his EP Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener.

Contrast EP

Plebeian - Contrast EP [GRID012] previews

Devon Rexi return with Mini-LP “Biya Ba Man”, a new and improved take on the no wave steppers and post punk grooves of their debut “Tambal EP”.

The five track Mini-LP sees the band expand to a quintet, with originators Nic Mauskovic (drums and vocals) and Nushin Naini (bass and vocals) joined by Tobias Jansen on turntables, Lyckle de Jong on synths and effects and Goya van der Heyden on percussion.

The extra players collaborate to send Devon Rexi’s sound in new directions, amplifying the already extra-dimensional vibe. Synths and vinyl manipulation render a trip hop vibe to the post punk brew, reminding of zoned-out jams like Maxinquaye, or those heady early Mo’Wax.

Opening track “Sjikamo” sets the tone at a deconstructed hip hop tempo, samples spliced up like a classic Celluloid album. “Fargh Nimikoone” ups the pace with a funky 135 bpm lean, and Nushin’s harmonized vocal sounding ever more alien over the conga rhythm. “Marde Pir” closes the first side at another beatdown tempo, the drums flexing like factory pistons. 

The B side fires up with “Biya Ba Man Biya” - a proper steppers bounce, Nushin’s farsi singalong chorus is as catchy as it’s ever been. The Mini-LP concludes with “Koja Raftan” bringing plenty of Bomb Squad energy, crescendoing in fine maximal percussive style. 

It’s no wave, but not as we know it. With new members bringing effects and collage elements to the spacious minimal wave core, there’s plenty of avenues for future formations of Devon Rexi to explore.

Jonny From Space is the moniker of Miami-based producer, DJ, and co-founder of Impacto, Jonathan Trujillo.

After two EP’s on Omnidisc and a few more self-released, Incienso is excited to announce his debut solo LP, ‘back then I didn’t but now I do’.

Loping drum loops, warbling synth lines, sun-streaked pads and voice amble into the depths  of the humid world Jonny’s music inhabits, where tempos shift and often float off into the ether altogether. 

In the words of JFS himself- this album is “built 2 chill”

https://soundcloud.com/greenpiccolobeats is back with the second track of his self-therapy project !

« Ghetto Healing » is the melancholy follow-up to « Medipack ». Just like its predecessor, this relaxed trap beat was made for mental healing and is the perfect companion for self-therapy. Green Piccolo combines his signature deep bass with synthetic sounds such as organic piano elements to create a perfect symbiosis that blurs the line between past and future, grounding the listener in the here and now and providing the deepest sense of well-being.

In this EP, piaconcept and Lüma-G revisit the club with their respective artistic backgrounds.
One with her signature sound design borrowing from her IDM and lofi influences, the other with her rhythmic mastery of 90s house. Their common territory is jazz, its rhythms and melodies, but above all its freedom of musical structure !

All continuity includes ruptures. The ocean teaches us that when the current is too strong, we must let ourselves be carried along.

The A-side of the EP dismantles the traditional club structure to offer a version in which the artists allow themselves to break away from the sequencing system dance music. One could be mistaken for thinking that there are several tracks in one, but the ear is easily carried away by this game of questions and answers.

After a complex immersion in the elements of club music, Lüma-G and piaconcept finally concentrate on rhythmic sequences on the B-side. rhythmic sequences.

Tracklist: 

1- Lüma-G, piaconcept - seasick
2- Lüma-G, piaconcept - road to socoa
3- Lüma-G, piaconcept - galvanic corrosion
4- Lüma-G, piaconcept - gravlaxed
5- Lüma-G, piaconcept - seasick (Azo remix)
