Australian producer @ben-fester presents his first solo release in the form of ‘Lock Box’ - our premiere ‘Play-Doh’ features a shuffling, bass-heavy groove with the kind of crisp snare that checks you’re still awake.

Batu - Solace

Building on the promise of nearly 10 years testing limits within club music, Batu presents his debut album Opal. Experimentation is a well-established facet of Omar McCutcheon’s identity within the leftfield techno zeitgeist, but more than ever on Opal he seizes the opportunity to incorporate ideas beyond dancefloor impetus into his animated, forward-leaning sound.

Melbourne-based producer @pugilistmusic serves up some punchy dub on @branchpoints forthcoming label compilation, sounding not dissimilar to Shed’s finest output.

Pugilist - Apple Core [Branch Points]

Taken from "Everything Merged Vol. 1", a brand new compilation featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.


Everything Merged Vol 1

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations from 2021, and countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 1” features the awesome music of a group of 3024 alumni from across the globe, interpreting the post-pandemic phase of electronic music each in their individual ways. There are the contemporary percussive meditations of Adam 2, Solair, Klont and Brooklynite No Sir, the 90s garage and rave inspired music of Karis, Agôn, Slovenia’s Hatterri and Noise Casino from Colombia. The exuberant technicolorist bangers of Guava, Blu-e and Cress and the deep hypnotic explorations of India’s Chhabb, MarceauxMarceaux and The Exhausted.

Guava - Believe In U (3024-MEN4)

A pair of grandiose double doors marked the entrance to the house; they towered far overhead, seeming almost menacing in their presence. This wasn't how she'd remembered this place, it all seemed completely alien to the building she knew as a child; it no longer felt welcoming, it no longer belonged in her memories. She toyed with the idea of ringing the bell, of seeing who now called this place home, but something stopped her, she wasn't sure she really wanted to know. 

More Cowbell has been running since 2019 as a space for "all things percussive and bassy". Operated by DJ and producer Eich, and comprised of a club night, online community and record label, the platform is dedicated to exploring the plethora of UK bass and techno sounds coming out of the UK.

After making her production debut on Dublin-based label Woozy's VA compilation at the end of summer, Eich is now sharing her first solo release, Red. It's a rhythmic trip through the music that influences her, touching on dark UK techno and stripped back Chicago house, inevitably permeated with low end frequencies and tight drum patterns.

PREMIERE: Eich - Red [More Cowbell]

There were sirens echoing in the streets, it was cold out on the corner. The darkness of the winter months was oppressive and at times overbearing but it did bring with it opportunity.

Every night they gathered beneath the glow of the streetlight, it was important to show a signal, a sign of life to those who watched on from above.

The cameras were everywhere, picking apart the very fragments of society with a dystopian lens and a pixelated vision.

They remained out there though, in the city, in the streets of a time not far from now.

Plus One digs deep for an earthy, heads down EP on First Second Label. This one is the perfect soundtrack for a lonely late night bus ride, the hazy fog of a city morning and the atmospheric hum of a concrete jungle.

Catch Plus One in Dublin at a special label showcase tomorrow.

PREMIERE: Plus One - We Out Here [First Second Label]

Rounding off the year on Redstone Press, Debba comes correct with a varied four-tracker laden with hefty subs and lock-tight percussion.

The A-side starts out with fast-paced staccato kicks and the oscillating, warped bassline of ‘Called Up’. These elements soon develop into a twisted, energetic romp, showing Debba’s innate knack for upfront, low-end percussive work. Continuing with this theme ‘Direction’ adds reverb-drenched vocals to the mix and ups the bass weight, with gritty, looping subs throughout. These two will put that soundsystem you’re dreaming of playing on, to the test!

The B-side is more restrained and meditative but retains the heavy subs, opening with the downtempo and introspective chords of ‘I Said’. The drop in pace gives Debba’s signature beatwork and melodic flourishes space to breathe with the dreamy synths of ‘Subtle’ building up, then breaking down into a low-slung UK Techno roller.

PREMIERE: Debba - I Said [Redstone Press]

Following up on his much acclaimed debut album ‘Opal’ released in 2022, Batu heads into a new year introducing A Long Strange Dream : a new imprint dedicated to his spontaneous musical explorations, conceived with the aim to follow curiosities and share his own music in a back-to-basics and spontaneous fashion.

The inaugural release « For Spirits » is packed with some of the Bristol based producer’s most psychedelic dancefloor studies to date. Flowing seamlessly as a whole piece, this long-form EP showcases Batu’s versatile and deep personal sound, as well as a riveting talent for electronic experiments ranging from trance-inducing ambient to peak-time techno wreckage.

Jen Hartley aka Yushh @yushh established herself as one of Bristol’s most exciting new faces on the scene. As a local selector, she has turned her attention to the groundswell of talent the city has to offer when it comes to the cross-section of bass music with her new label project, Pressure Dome @pressuredome.

On this inaugural VA release, she proposes us a beautiful selection of artists, tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, where each producer brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The release provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks.

All five tracks ooze individuality, yet subtly tie together with influences and sounds of a city that naturally nurtures progressive experimentalism. Pressure Dome’s offering is a fine example of burgeoning collective, with like-minded producers set on an uncompromising approach to the broken beat.

We have the pleasure to share with you the track "Always, Always, Nevr On Time" from Yushh, showcasing intricate percussion and delicate melodies that roll with energy over subby baselines.

Welcome To The Pressure Dome
