Listen to "Deconstructivisme" by NAKANO BLU & Berman taken from "Sentadona" EP out on 1st December via Sann Odea

Pre-order: https://nakanoblu.bandcamp.com/album/sentadona-ep

Sann Odea welcomes NAKANO BLU to the label with his spectacular ‘Sentadona’ EP. The Amsterdam-based producer means business and delivers four high-energy club tracks.

After his early days of lo-fi house and dub techno, his practice moved into the sounds of IDM and diasporic-latin influenced club music.
This evolution is evident in the title track, where the Spanish-born artist showcases his talent for blending unconventional rhythms, dark textures, and FX, all while maintaining a danceable and effective style for the club. On ‘Deconstructivisme,’ NAKANO collaborated with fellow Amsterdam-based producer Berman, resulting in a bass-driven journey featuring a catchy melody and an unexpected twist. As for ‘Broken Glass Inside My Shoes,’ the title speaks for itself. NAKANO’s experimental side takes the lead, crafting an eerie yet bold track with enough subs to shake your core.

The EP concludes in style with ‘Ortiga,’ where NAKANO switches to the ever-effective 4x4 rhythm for the first time, showcasing his ability to contrast raw organic sounds with the synthetic nature of electronic club music.

[Premiere] NAKANO BLU & Berman - Deconstructivisme (Sann Odea)

Rinse FM Podcast

Swimful - 02 July 2024

Patrúin mark their long awaited return with Wastee, from Wastefellow. A trio of marble-cut dance tracks etched out of wonky bass-driven styles on the label’s first release since 2020.

Diolmhain Ingram Roche enjoys a cult-like status within Ireland’s underground. A polymath of electronic music, he’s primarily known for releasing experimental pop as Wastefellow and subsequent affiliation with Kojaque’s Soft Boy Records. In recent years, he’s led the no-nonsense band, Really Good Time and toured with them throughout the UK, EU and Ireland.

Amidst all this, Wastee has been Diolmhain’s guilty pleasure, a lesser-known project dedicated to strict dancefloor business. He debuted the alias with the 2017 ‘Cola’ EP on Lyxliv, which garnered attention from Vice, DJmag, and Apple Music. Wastee reappeared on the P.U.P. Volume 1 compilation in 2021.

After a two-year break from electronic music, Diolmhain returns, integrating the Wastee alias into his main project and creating his most substantial offering of club cuts yet. The final Wastee release, but the first of many more for Wastefellow, this marks his first outing with the cult Dublin label Patrúin, co-founded by Oli and Fes in 2017, which has been notably absent from release schedules since 2020 until now.

‘Haunt You Back’ shuffles its breaks-y deck amongst some angled drums and sprightly croons, temporarily loosening its grip to deal a dialled-up signal that bursts into pop-a-delic techno delirium. ‘Squished Activity’ swirls amongst the claps before nose diving into a sub-heavy broken beat undergrowth that blossoms into a divine club strut of heads-down attitude. Our finale is ‘Your One To Me’, a large chromatic 2 stepper that boasts anthemic vocal cuts and monolithic production chops for a large-and-in-charge closer.

Wastee is a vital extension of both Wastefellow’s musical being and Patruin’s label legacy, 3 exquisite dance tracks from a true talent and a welcome return for the imprint.

50% of profits from the release will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Nina Tamtam & Rodrigue Dubois - Memory Card

injection w/ [kevinindafield] x TUBB - 13/08/2024

Paperfunk Recordings has always respected — and will continue to respect — the technoid and techno-DnB sound, and we've always strived to contribute as a label to the development of this branch of Drum & Bass.

While techno-DnB emerged back in the early 2000s alongside titanic subgenres like neurofunk and techstep, technoid drum and bass was born under far more intricate and subtle circumstances. The rise of the technoid subgenre is directly tied to a particular group of artists and their unique sonic influence during the years 2007 to 2011.

Its peak — the true triumph of technoid — was in 2008, right at the center of this period. That was the golden age of the subgenre we love, when labels like Offkey, Sinuous, and many others were putting out astonishingly heavy releases with utterly mad and unpredictable sound design.

We’re bringing that tradition back. We’re reviving the raw power and chaos of technoid and techno-DnB — and with great pride, we present to you our new compilation: TECHNOID: GREATEST COMEBACK VOL. 1

This series will feature works by artists who embody the very essence of why these subgenres continue to captivate us. The scent of kerosene, automatic hydraulics, power machines, mechanical undertones, and metal slams in place of drums — this is what awaits you when you press play on TECHNOID: GREATEST COMEBACK VOL. 1.

We are tickled pink to be announcing this top draw bit of tackle from label affiliate Troy Gunner with a killer Herron remix to boot. After his contribution to Unperson’s remix plate it felt right to ask him to put his shin pads on and wade into a 4 tracker. This EP sees Troy traverse a multitude of tempos and forms, using foreboding sonics and clattering percussion to create feelings of pure angst aswell as elation and we can’t wait to hear these in a club setting. Big love to Charlie Maclagan on the art and JGD on the design as per.
