FLO - Baby

Working Title; a project in co-curation

In the postmodern world of today, the work of curators has become increasingly diverse. The job content has shifted from a simple model of guarding, keeping or acquiring a collection, to a compound model, adding the possibility of acquiring a semi celebrity status identity.

We are part of a generation that has spent their childhood growing up with an invisible third parent, the internet. We are able to discover music faster and easier than ever before. But even with all these options, an individual curator can never truly see the whole picture.

The idea for this project is simple and goes as follows;
Instead of curating artists ourselves, we will have others curate together. Our project can be seen as an exercise in joint curatorship. We have invited fourteen different collectives, labels and individuals who in their turn curated one artist.

Dread System - Dungeon Terror Stories [KSH02]

Never Sleep are proud to release the next Parisian star Poter Elvinger on the extended EP 'Holy Water' and this ones special.

Brimming with rave, jungle and youthful exuberance it touches upon a sickly sweet stadium amplification tears and IDM masterclass synergy spot.

'Like...Uh' starts the whole thing off with almost Oizo energy but touches upon a much darker sound, 'Holy Water' separates the boys from the men with next level use of voc chops, hybrid EDM cacophony of immeasurable bass and signature off piste jungle drums, 'Already There' steps into the melodrama with a loving tone built for the afterafterafterparty and ending with 'I Cant Get You' which closes the whole thing out longing for more

A masterclass in the menage of senses and as delicate as it is full on dance music.

Gestafelstein and Goldie throw a joint daughters bday party in Ampere.

Release Date: May 17, 2024
Info: Subliminal is very clearly a club record. A series of tracks in the 150/160 BPM range, anchored in a 4/4 rhythm, full throttle. Containing very few melodic elements, this is an EP anchored in the strength of rhythm. On the one hand, there is a certain familiarity with Chicago Footwork, mainly in the prevalence of certain rhythmic elements such as snare drums and the use of sliced vocal samples. On the other hand, there are also reminiscences of a certain rave aesthetic, such as punctual breaks, or basses that sometimes appear either more “subby” or more “trancy”. But let's break this down. “Pra Tirar” opens the EP with the combination of a very raw rhythmic pattern, marked by the presence of restless snare drums, with a two-note trancy bass. From time to times a break punctuates and animates the pattern. In “Jump That” the rhythmic complexity expands through the insistence on triplets. Different snare drums and sidesticks populate the rhythm that transforms around a continuous and persistent sub. The voice sample is multiplied into different slices and retriggers, which, due to the triplet sequencing, end up giving the sensation of being out of sync sometimes. “Downdale” was the track that sold us the record! Repeated snare drums and the insistence on a 4/4 boomin kick replacing the bass. Simple and efficient. “Get Down” is also driven by voice samples and their multiple slices, combined with intricate rhythmic patterns. Footwork madness in full force. “I Need What” is the most contrasting theme, as it is not based on a clear “4 to the floor”. The aesthetic here is closer to electro, with the broken kicks and the snare drum appearing on every upbeat. The bass has a lot of modeling in the filter envelope in order morphing the track which is also built around different slices of the vocal samples. A contrasting change of energy evidencing a necessary slowdown that heralds the end of a very sweaty journey. BLEID is Rave Royalty!

*PREMIERE* BLEID - I Need What

Digital Hundebiss is back, even though it's not Bandcamp Friday—because not even Bandcamp wants us rich. To be completely fair, it's not even Friday. 

This month, we have a special delivery from our friend Assyouti. 

https://assyouti.bandcamp.com/album/tough-choices-mister-blister

"Tough Choices" is a 167 BPM drumfunk-influenced percussive exercise, layered with Assyouti's signature distorted vocal samples and a roaring bassline. This high-impact combination of texture and rhythm is sure to feed hungry sound systems. 

Meanwhile, "Mister Blister" rolls in at a brisk 100 BPM, delivering a double-time momentum that drives the track forward with relentless force, exuding a sense of urgency and energy.

After 5 standout releases, including debuts from many fresh faces to the left-of-field underground scene, Plasma Sources presents its inaugural compilation: Multi-Source. It brings together the current label family and a slew of other artists operating on the cutting- edge of dance floor electronics for a multi-genre, sound design heavy, wild ride. In turn, the label takes aim at establishing itself as one of the most exciting imprints in the experimental club scene.
From the 90BPM cinematic, Lorn-esque sludge of newcomer Guide’s ‘Gemological’ to the crisp staccato transients and negative space of Ziyiz’s ‘Plastic Sentiments’, each track adheres to one of the guiding principles that the label has employed so effectively to curate it’s platform, irrespective of tempo: a love for sci-fi aesthetics and a desire to transpose these into sonic equivalents.

Plasma Sources has always prided itself on delicately balancing dark and light, release to release. On Multi-Source, this broad spectrum is in full vision. Reinartz offers up dubbed- out, IDM-esque desolation on ‘Action Bias’, whilst Stolen Velour’s ‘Suigetsu’ brings a bright playfulness - high-pitched vocal cuts marry pulsating, organic beats which sound like if Untold’s Hemlock output got a 2024 facelift. Some tracks, like Prior Self’s brooding yet fidgety ‘Turn Out’ and Klahrk & Atrice’s flange-fuelled ‘You’ve Changed’ occupy the centre of this continuum with their takes on high-tempo techno-influenced mutations.

The full label family comes back to join in on the fun. HYPNA and NIQH team up on a collaboration which perfectly unites their sounds under a 4-bar bass-heavy roller laden with noise. NIQH offers up their own track, exploring crystalline club structures on ‘Pressure’. unearth’s cinematic, wasteland-ridden sound is in clear focus on ‘Safe Tread’ and Beton Brut’s signature grime-concrète comes through loud and clear on ‘WWW’.

Cortical offer up ‘Hammer’, a continuation of their relentless avant-techno manifesto established by their debut, whilst J-Shadow rounds things off with a space-age jungle- exploration on ‘X-38'.
The juxtaposition of dark and light. The delicate balancing of experimentalism and dance floor sensibilities. The interweaving of sci-fi and biologically-infused sound design. These are the key aesthetics with which Plasma Sources has approached its output ever since release no.1.
Multi-Source acts as a confirmation of this manifesto as it looks forward to 2025 and its future as a key player in the experimental club scene.
