Francis Harris is a founding member of the Scissor & Thread label - a Brooklyn-based imprint established 2011. Previously releasing under the alias Adultnapper, Harris established Scissor & Thread as an outlet for deeper, more personal sounds, as well as music from a range of associated artists including Black Light Smoke, Bob Moses and Aris Kindt. Harris’ own output has gone from tightly wound tech house bombs as Adultnapper to intricate and expressive musical journeys, and has seen him branch out with a new label - Kingdoms - a home for adventurous music from across the board.

More We Cannot Do is a perfect example of Harri’s feel for depth and dynamics - the track is seeming submerged warm amniotic fluid - cocooned in compression that the listener can get instantly lost in. A think, subby bass provides much of the groove, with skittering percussion on top and luscious fragments of melody. Minor Forms, the EP’s title track is cut from similar cloth - emerging form a subtly distant place to inhabit a melancholic, beautifully evocative space - somewhere between ambient, jazz and the dancefloor. Valentino Mora offers up two exquisite reworks of Minor Forms to complete the EP. Mora, the Berlin based Uruguayan producer, brings his own layer of depth to Harris’s originals - the Underwater Rephrase version adds a propulsive kick and manages to shimmer and shake in subtle, beautiful ways. The Cosmic Trans Rephrase is somehow even deeper - a bubbling bass pulse anchors the track while pads drift in and out, adding to the blissful, meditative whole.

Broshuda’s infamous social vocabulary is filled with obscure terminology and coded cross references to the likes of “Ambient Punk”, “Glambient" and “Aquatic Romanticism”. These might come as bizarre attempts to define his peculiar and hard to pin down style of electronic music, while simultaneously mocking the need to market music through highfaluting press and academia- approved labels. This same skewed ambiguity informs much of the berlin-based producer’s creative attitude and the rest of his output, for his first release for Haunter Records generating pieces of apparent simplicity that gradually unravel to engage in complex emotional vignettes, drawing from a limited pool of sound sources while paying a great deal of attention to detail in the construction of sound and temporal structure. Subtly tweaking and rearranging the focus, he emphasizes the background’s definition while meditating on blurring and masquerading what should have been foreground into new forms and shapes, evoking a world of hallucinatory sonical flora steadily in flux, descending and ascending through thick layers of shifting motions and memories, touching upon multitude of non-places along the way. An array of tools and techniques on display akin to those of classic dub, contemporary sound design on obscure and random equipment and post-rave power ambient poems, coalescing with a pronounced melodic element, giving the release a profoundly introspective and earthy character.

A soundtrack between smooth deepness and bleeping tech. An epic melody and long lasting hook. Welcome Rauschhaus with a first EP on Einmusika. “Folded Skies“ reminds you of summer nights and sunshine. More clean and sorted comes “Elysion“ which brings you back to the club and “Spectrum“ delivers the coldness of techno but keep some melodic moments.

„Dieser Track ist die Geschichte eines Treffens zwischen drei Universen“, sagt @key-be zu der Nummer „Eternal Ending“. Der Musikproduzent aus Paris kreierte das orientalische Werk gemeinsam mit @jugurtha-music und Dali Triki. „Wir haben diesen Track in meinem Studio in Montreal aufgenommen, als ich noch dort lebte“, verrät Karim Beltaief alias Keybe. Nachdem er für Dali Triki einen Remix zu dessen Stück „Om Kalthoum“ aufnahm, wollte er unbedingt einen Original-Track mit ihm produzieren. (...)

Release Info: 
Having rounded out our first year with 'Amene' being selected by Pete Tong as one of his Tracks of the Year, Superfriends look to kickstart 2018 with a fresh remixed version of andhim's 'Huso EP'. 

Friends and favourites have been chosen by the label bosses to lend their touch to the original tracks, each turning out fresh and exciting new versions of Huso and Amene. 

First up and reworking the synth-laden eastern vibes of the title track are Italian duo Armonica and exciting Berlin based collective Bakery. Both deliver contrasting yet equally emotive offerings. 

Staying true to the percussive flavour of the original, Sum Over Histories bosses Frankey & Sandrino gently guide Amene on a elegantly deeper path, while Tel Aviv's Autarkic maintains his stellar run of future-facing productions by turning the track on its head via some stirring dancefloor surgery.

Second Woman is the collaborative project featuring Turk Dietrich of Belong and Joshua Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv. 

Josh and Turk have been friends for over 17 years, having met in New Orleans in the late ’90s through mutual friend and future collaborator, Charlie Cooper. The duo have been working on music together on and off since that time.

The concept of Second Woman began with the idea of taking tropes from footwork, dub, house, and techno, and twisting these ideas into something kaleidoscopically liberated from the grid. 
Their work first materialized with two LP’s and an EP on John Elliott and Peter Rehberg’s Spectrum Spools. 

Second Woman tweak the perception of time and space within the audio field into something ASMR-inducing and ultimately satisfying to listen to. Both Josh and Turk experience ASMR in response to certain rhythms and sounds, and effort was made to incorporate these triggers into the music, hopefully for other people to experience as well. 

With Instant / Apart, Second Woman present their complete signature sound as well as a new, more measured dimension to their work.

Unfold 2LP is out now on The Death of Rave.

Gábor Lázár mutates 2-step, grime and electro prisms with economic yet ravishing effect on Unfold, his solo début LP proper for The Death of Rave. Following an  acclaimed split LP with Mark Fell ( which was deployed to stunning effect in Aphex Twin’s live/DJ sets of 2017), the Hungarian artist has harnessed the scything contours and mentasmic vamps of his earlier releases into 8 inexorably funked up frameworks set to brilliantly mess with modern ‘floors. Big recommendation if yr into Errorsmith, SOPHIE, Jlin, AFX, Lorenzo Senni...

Kerning classic styles with devious ballistics according to a mutant syntax reflected in the LP’s bespoke sleeve art, Gábor galvanises his signature flux of zinging mentasms and hyper rhythms with a cyber-mongrel gnash in Unfold. Drawing from the deeply affective and rude ends of South Yorkshire, Detroit and South London technous for inspiration, Gábor consolidates their mutual aspects by trimming the excess and stressing the funkiest points of syncopation with razor sharp, inventive edits. Whilst instantly recognisable as Gábor’s work, his grooves are more pronounced, and this time unusually riddled with melodic gestures that lead to moments of unexpected emotive relief. 

In the contemporary field, Unfold firmly lives up to comparison with the sexy retro-futurism of Mark Fell’s Sensate Focus, the advanced playfulness of Errorsmith’s Superlative Fatigue, or the fluidly knotted syncopation of Jlin, but does so with a singular mesh of style and pattern that Gábor can patently declare his own. Heard in context of the album cover’s bespoke GL sigil designed by Dániel Kozma, Unfold becomes an ultimate gesamtkustwerk whose audio-visual play of sensual/cutting contours and elegant brutalism resonate as much with the work of his idol, Mark Fell (SND), as the ultramodernist vectors of SOPHIE, the lush technicality of Second Woman, or the ballistic proprioceptions of Jlin.

In other words, it’s one of the most forward dance music records you’ll hear in 2018.
