Bottoni - Raster

sept7 'Résilience' is a colossal 5-track EP featuring a remix by Kessler. This collection of pure peak-time bangers is stamped with the  producers signature sassy rave aesthetic. The artist's ability to seamlessly weave various genres brings a dynamic range of elements to the table, showcasing a production style that defies classification.
'Rush' kicks off the EP with an insanely catchy stripped-back bassline, hop-scotching percussion, and elegant discordant synths peppered with dope vocals. 'Future Step' fuses techno, bass, and breakbeat, veering into madness with its revving engine sound effects and slick dub samples. It's a Lewis Hamilton-approved banger. 'Resilience' shines with warmth from the start, featuring beautiful vocal samples that give way to a world-class heavy bass track. The oxymoronic tension between soft and big is a standout feature.'Check One' showcases tripped-out vocal samples and a clipped bassline, forming a dance-heavy groove with its 4/4 floor beat and subtle background breaks. 

Kessler's remix of 'Resilience' is a mind-altering, transcendental masterpiece. The Northern Ireland producer displays his insane drum and percussive capabilities, fusing modern dubstep head-banging sounds with UK Bass influences.

PREMIERE: Sept7 - Resilience (Kessler Remix) [DMC028]

Athens wonder-kid Poor J’Darr unleashes ‘Power Strike’ —a high-pressure, percussion-heavy transmission that carries the torch of the label’s legacy into a new era of rhythmic warfare. 

Passed down from the baton of Walton and Silas & Snare, the signature style of percussion and pressure is alive & well in Andreas Nikoloulias’ KAIZEN debut.

Kindness is so scarce these days, it drives me mad.

A.Fruit flies off the hinges — and with her, Egor Konstantinov and Maria Poroshina — in Qurgōn’s third piece: a tribute to the rage that demands to be let out.

For our first release, we teamed up with Teen Film Lab, curated by Lena Vanina and Kirill Kulagin. They co-author with kids from post-Soviet countries to explore how they see the world. Through that lens, beauty sometimes emerges from the mundane; sometimes it zeroes in on what’s unnoticed or hard to put into words.
On this journey, you never know what you’ll find — so off we go.

Viner - Qurgōn (A.Fruit Remix)

"It feels like at the moment, we're lost in the long dark tunnel. Plenty of dance music seems to operate in a revivalist form, within a regression cycle, it's hard to pinpoint the exact sound of "now" without it referencing other points in history.

"We're trapped in 20th century culture on higher definition screens", poses Mark Fisher in a seminal lecture, and thus, exposes Berardi's concept of the Slow Cancellation of the Future. "Nothing ever really dies, but that's not good". In 1992 it was impossible to imagine the shape of music 6 months into the future, so why are we now constantly going back to these genres?

My aim with this release was to try and participate in the legacy of the Hardcore Continuum within the sonic context of the current world. A hyper-online, overstimulated landscape where our attention is constantly invaded by notification after notification, stimulus after stimulus. I try to materialise this by reshaping sharp noise into pulse, genre staples like the breakbeat get torn apart and forced into a brand new skeleton, and riot-invoking grime chants are repurposed into music set for a bleak now. Jungle, Dub, Grime, Garage, they are all present here, but the heavy gravitational pull of their legacies presents to me as a black hole I've tried to encapsulate in this EP.

Why is the future vanishing?"

"Claustrophobic, disorienting, uncomfortable - ‘Only Time Will Tell’ consists of 3 of my latest attempts to push functional club tools as far into the realms of dissonance and abstraction as possible whilst retaining their inherent purpose as body-moving dancefloor tracks.

I’m drawn to sounds that are insistent, deliberate, futuristic and unorthodox. YUKU have always shared a similar vision, so it was little surprise when the label picked the very first 3 tracks I sent over in a large vault of demos - the exact 3 that I quietly hoped that they would take, in the exact order I felt would be most effective.

‘Inertia Of The Real’ has been the closing track for many of my sets over the past few months - unhinged electrical zaps appear out of nowhere and rain down over a sparse grime rhythm to catch the crowd off-guard and cause as much chaos as possible.

‘Plated Brass Recursion Mechanism’ continues the theme of frantic digital laser assault, but this time with a locked breakbeat groove and unyielding low-end snarl - more conventional beat patterns for electro and techno lovers, but weird and unpredcitable nonetheless.

Lastly, ‘Fool’s Errand’ dials back the intensity just a touch, with eerie pads and disembodied vocal chops cutting through machine-gun hihats and start-stop call and response in the low end.

My attitude to production has always been a rejection of the nostalgic rehashing of sounds from the 90s and 00s that has come to dominate the dance music landscape in the current decade. If there isn’t at least one sound in a track that’s surprising or new to my ears, I’m not interested. As a statement of intent, I hope that ‘Only Time Will Tell’ will bring something exciting to the listener in that respect. Endless love to YUKU and everyone who gives the release a spin - getting the chance to share my music on such a perfect label is really such an honour."

Typeless welcomes Bristol based producer Portway to the roster with a bold 4-track EP that pushes boundaries, while staying focused on the club. Showcasing his flair for sculpting adventurous sound design into rhythm driven forms, the release fuses percussive chaos, low end pressure, and eerie atmosphere.

Immersive, cerebral, and unapologetically future facing, it pulls listeners deep into the world where experimental club music thrives. A remix from Parisian standout De Grandi seals a debut that hits hard and echoes long after the final kick.
