Marking the second EP of the year for London based label Vief, Once You Pop is a bass driven two-tracker by Product Toss.

With the two tracks set at 125 and 145 BPM respectively, this short but sweet release packs one hell of a punch. Equal parts eerie and menacing, the listener is treated to two gigaton basslines and a multitude of sharp, crisp percussion throughout.

All process from this release will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Deep within the freeway buzz of dystopian Los Angeles, there exists an unstoppable sonic gathering of minds, who call themselves “Fast At Work” and abide by a belief in the deeper potential of higher tempos. However, lately there has been some debate about the true existence of the Fast At Work mantra. Just as the debate was reaching its climax, seemingly out of nowhere, a helicopter emerged containing a musical capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). The group accepted this music as scripture, and coined it “Soft Fascination,” – naming group member Carré as their chosen matriarch. Through the title hymn “Soft Fascination,” Carré preached a proto vision of a classic dubstep bassline and tender pads. With “Cute Mad,” Carré magically induced a sense of positivity and bubbly bass. And with the third offering, “Glowing,” she pushed her audience closer to understanding simplicity and space. Finally, in an effort to expand their gospel to the furthest realms of their musical world, she recruited Priori and James Bangura to create their own missions, rooted in the original offerings of the alien helicopter’s capsule disc. While Priori expertly rearranged “Soft Fascination” into a shiny mind-melter, James Bangura expanded on the lightness of “Glowing,” creating his own lucid dreamscape of deep melancholia.

FAW001: Carré - Soft Fascination EP w/ Priori + James Bangura Remixes

Following his 2021 debut on the reverse label with Retreat Ites EP and a spot on the Molten Mirrors compilation, Jurango is back on Livity Sound with another four tracks of low-slung soundsystem pressure. 

On An Amorphous Mass EP Jurango presents a particularly focused sound which draws on halftime D&B, dancehall and broken techno all filtered through the meditative pulse of low tempo club music. The measured pace of the tracks doesn’t detract from their weight, whether it manifests in the heavy roll of murky opener ‘Big Saver’, ‘Inner Seam’s mutant dembow rhythm or the heady breakbeat chops of the title track. The stripped-back subs and fractured percussion of ‘Muni Ce Boa’ close the record in potent yet understated style, proving minimal music doesn’t have to compromise on impact for the dance.

A versatile approach characterises Manuela Mannarini AKA Yas Reven’s ‘HARD20’, her debut release dropping on DJ Cosworth’s Bristol-based Hardline label. It draws on bass, techno, and club around the 140bpm template, coming with a hefty dose of infectious energy and creative rhythms. As a DJ, the Milan-based artist is well established in her homeland, having played all over Italy, including a Boiler Room session at Polifonic Festival last summer. “For my debut release, I began the project thinking that I didn't want to focus on a specific genre, but rather, I wanted to experiment with various genres with extreme freedom and without limitations. The project indeed, consisting of three different tunes, represents a sonic adventure encompassing diverse paths fueled by passion and born out of the necessity to make the body move.” - Yas Reven The rubbery and elastic grooves of ‘WHoO-Oo!’ in Yas Reven’s ‘HARD20’ bounce up and down as light vocal chops keep up the energy. Following suit, the Dublin-based Dylan Fogarty skillfully flips the track into a straight-up techno pumper with warm, forceful kicks and insistent synth stabs to take things to the next level. The compelling broken beats of Yas Reven’s ‘Sensible Shoes’, marked by its vast hits and supersized drums, keep things moving via warped vocal bass and string-like stabs. Closing out the EP, the innovative rhythms of ‘Little Breake’ then has its percussion scattered around a booming kick, making for a dynamic and unpredictable groove that is sure to work the floor into a frenzy.
