On ACEN048, Outsider makes her All Centre debut. Following standout appearances on four Pressure Dome compilations, the Derbyshire-based artist presents two forward-thinking, experimental club tracks.

Good Bone Structure opens with tense rolling snares and a shimmering pad as kick drums articulate the track’s broken rhythm. The arrangement builds to the introduction of a two note bassline which shifts and evolves into new and unpredictable mutations throughout the 7 minute track, underpinned by hard drums and embellished with ecstatic synth melodies.

Stick Shift opens with forceful four to the floor kicks and a dubbed-out, restless chord progression which darts around the percussion. The synth moves and grows, alternating with and reacting to the track’s ricocheting bassline, whilst syncopated claps keep the track’s compelling rhythms in check.

Good Bone Structure is available across all digital platforms on the 26th May.

Pangaea returns to his own Hessle Audio imprint with 'Installation' - cut-up vocals collide with an instantly memorable, pop inflected, queasily fidgeting bassline hook. Dancefloor carnage with a techno-pop sensibility.

Featuring music HGHR LVLS, Bastian Benjamin, Nerds With Acid, |grens|, Odaira and Oosterse Lach, and the label head himself, the VA vinyl release explores the fringes of acid, electro, techno and bass, with the aim of showing the world what’s happening in this lesser know underground scene.

Klasse Wrecks is happy to welcome new Berlin-based producer Jotel California to the family. The emerging young artist provides a strong and varied EP that introduces his deft production skills and understanding of balanced sonics. 'Borrowed Time' traces the lines of traditional electro but stirs the pot with new flavours and the result is something that is both unique and powerful. Late 90s Techno is referenced on the title track, a dark and haunting driver that emerges into euphoria later on in the journey. While the A1 features the cut up vocals of Babyblade and takes the listener on a pulsing trip that thrashes back and forth before restlessly settling down

"Solastalgia is a new concept developed to give greater meaning and clarity to environmentally induced distress. As opposed to nostalgia--the melancholia or homesickness experienced by individuals when separated from a loved home--solastalgia is the distress that is produced by environmental change impacting on people while they are directly connected to their home environment.
[…]
Worldwide, there is an increase in ecosystem distress syndromes matched by a corresponding increase in human distress syndromes. The specific role played by global-scale environmental challenges to 'sense of place' and identity will be explored in the future development of the concept of solastalgia."

Oso Feo is a true advocate for the underground, and lives by the ethos of building and uplifting community. He is half of curation and management for the online radio station and studio SutroFM, which provides a platform for both new and experienced DJs to share their music through radio shows, and live broadcasts. 

On the decks, he can only be described as a masterful vinyl technician. His sets will keep you locked on the dancefloor as he seamlessly transverses through electro, broken beat sounds, hypnotic techno, and psychedelic house. His musical style has been described as “TexMex ravescapes infused with lush Bay breakage.” He’s a true gem and rising star of the Bay Area underground electronic scene.

“Picture hanging out somewhere in the Northern California coast; you are beside all your besties and the sun is just starting to set. The night just started, the vibes are getting freaky, and maybe a stimulant is kicking in. This is the vibe I went for — an introduction to a psyched out renegade where the bpm is still quite slow.”

SLA24: 'Symbol Drama' by @icahera

Type: EP
Format: Digital
Releasedate: March 28th
Cat. number: SLA24
Artwork: Jaan Pavliuk
Master: Joel Krozer

‘Symbol Drama’ is London-based, Estonian artist Icahera’s Slagwerk debut.

Three tightly coiled portals to control and release within. It begins with the low-lidded smokestream on ‘Dusk’, bringing with it all the tension and temptation of a nocturnal ride through the glimmer and grime of a sinister, teeming metropolis. The hyper-disciplined body-lock of ‘Re-amp’ brings motion — crosshairs calibrated, levitating, a state of flow beyond conscious thought. It’s primal and physical, subtly smeared textures over Villaloban drumwork that moves and swings and propels forward with intent beyond the banality of conscious thought.

Per the artist, this is “music for an imagined club space”. Closer ‘Nylon’ brings the space to full being: darkness and concrete, scuffed surfaces and sweat, a place where shadows thrive and bodies surge with synthetic inputs and newfound sensations. Strains of dub and progressive house and techno run through this music like chemicals through blood — ‘Symbol Drama is body music, it’s music that’s serious about pleasure.
