traverse is very honored to unveil Berlin-based artist Prieste5s’s first EP on traverse, « Enchantress ».

Her music made its way through various platforms and labels, from Pino Peña’s W133 to Kangding Ray’s ARA and has always had a special place in our ears. Prieste5s’s workflow and research for organic sounds, paired with the minimalism of her production, brings a new depth and drive to her music. From Willow to 10,000 Lux she depicts a powerful landscape full of percs and toms that will get to your mind and feet.

Through Enchantress Prieste5s showcases her love for bass, percussion and hypnotic sounds, building a deep atmosphere and minimalist groove throughout the four tracks.

Prieste5s:
« Thematically, I take a lot of influences from the natural world, geology, and spirituality. Having studied evolutionary biology previously, I have a fascination for all things relating to natural-history. And as a somewhat spiritual person, I also enjoy exploring through my music the idea of one’s personal connection to the earth. I really like to play with the juxtaposition of technology and nature, both in the process as well as the materials I use. For me, it’s a way of showing that we should still seek harmony with nature even amid the chaos of the modern world. I feel like a big theme in my music is the ephemerality of the natural world and how we as participants of that experience can find ways to connect in a magical, childlike sort of way. »

@sub-basics's EP Cause & Effect will be Bait's first ever vinyl release. He's a key UK figure in the deep dubstep scene who has had big support for his tunes on the likes of Lion Charge, Foundation Audio and Juan Forte from Ben U.F.O. and Kia. First up he links with Toura for the liquid rhythms of 'Cause' while 'Effect' gets more prickly with a ticking lead synth and deep underwater dub vibes. 'Call' brings some deft melody and more trance-inducing grooves while closer 'Response' is a nice and punchy dub techno cut with ice-cold hi-hats.

You can now pre-order the vinyl via Juno.

Sub Basics 'Cause & Effect' EP (OUT NOW)

Building on the success of Procedures, his label debut, Mercy System, returns to Of Paradise with Othering, a momentous, street-savvy collection of sub-heavy and sleekly futuristic bass music custom-built for the more discerning dance floors out there. Featuring three original tracks and one inimitable and whacked-out remix by rising Nottingham talent Coralie, Othering demonstrates the clear-cut evolution of Mercy System's style, showcasing his ability to redefine the UK’s underground sound with each new release.

Dynamic in scope, Othering is a headstrong collection of contorted, lights-down dance music and sinuous atmospherics, and another standout release for artist and label alike.

Andrae Durden - Pira [SPE:C 015 25] PREVIEW

This is a 9 track album spanning a lot of different styles and speeds, made up of tracks recently found on an old hard drive, most of which were part of releases that didn't end up coming out including an album I was previously working on.
Almost all of my biggest influences are reflected across the tracks so I'm really happy to be finally getting them out there. I hope you enjoy and massive big ups to anyone who supports!
