Honey Badger Records seemingly keeps piling on the heat year after year. The label, which was founded in 2014 by JNS is one of the oldest and most well-known record labels in Seoul. The releases on the label to date straddle the line between house and techno, while maintaining a clear sense of forward-thinking dance music.

For Honey Badger’s latest release, they are re-joined by South Korean producers Wooseok Choi and Minseop Lee, collectively known as Two Tone Shape, with their Every Minute EP. The EP, which marks the first release of the 2022 for both Honey Badger Records and Two Tone Shape, showcases the impressive depth of the duo’s live-programmed productions. Each track on the EP features a unique sonic flare, ranging from expansive breakbeat, deep & slow-burning house, as well as rave-leaning techno. 

The second track of the record keeps up the introductory pace set by the opener. Persistence of X is an expertly crafted house music gem. The bassline conveys an indisputable bounce while nestled between a kick that drives the groove home. Two Tone Shape pays homage to classic rave samples yet keeps things interesting with synthesis magic that the duo seems to do again and again.

This release continues the positive trajectory that both Honey Badger Records and Two Tone Shape are on.

Every Minute EP

PREMIERE: Two Tone Shape - Persistence Of X

Time is a funny thing; some wish it away while others are desperate for more. When we’re young you want to fast forward your life so we can be adults and when we’re old we yearn for our youth. Being present in the moment and enjoying every minute is difficult but it’s the only way time will remain on our side - the only way we can make time work for us and not against us.

Seoul-based duo Two Tone Shape return to Honey Badger Records for their second EP, following 2020's Fantastic Machines. Made up of long-standing house producer Wooseok Choi and Minseop Lee, who's output revolves around UK Bass and French electronic music, when the pair come together they pair their shared love of Detroit House and UK electronics - influences that are ever-present on their sophomore release Every Minute. Choi is in charge of the synthesizers while Lee takes care of the drum machines, and the results are a batch of five hypnotic house tracks full of momentum and force.

Sojeso to release his second full-length album ‘Sonatine’ on Honey Badger Records on April 27th, 2022.
Sojeso is Song Kwang Ho's personal project name. Sojeso strongly appealed to the listener as a solo producer through his first EP album 'Tape' which was released as digital and cassette tape at the end of 2016. His first full-length album "SPEND" released on Honey Badger Records in 2018 is also an extension of the music he has shown in recent years.
After that, he continued to develop his own sound in the collaboration with many musicians, including ’90 Broke' EP with his friend Mignon on Honey Badger Records, and also ‘Dizzy Days’ album with WDRW last year.
The ‘Sonatine’ is an album that captures his taste, who usually likes 90s Japanese music and oriental elements of Japanese films, and chill house music vibe stands out. Inspired by the atmosphere of Takeshi Kitano's film 'Sonatine', entire album was created while watching Sonatine's movie scenes. ‘Sonatine’ means easy sonata, it is an album that is easy to listen to and reinterpreted by adding elements of Reggae and Acid house with a focus on simple sounds.
 All tracks of ‘Sonatine’ can be played on Spotify, Apple Music and purchasing is available on Bandcamp.

PREMIERE : Sojeso - Sonatine

POH (Point of Hue): It’s all about colors. Closet Yi sees the world in vibrant hues, as a sonic exploration of her kaleidoscopic vision. Seeing herself as more of an observer than a doer, she testifies her unique perspectives of the world in each track with all different
hues and emotions.
Instinctively catchy and affecting, the four track dance EP is full of intricate textures, unexpected harmonies, and subtle sonic flourishes that reveal themselves with each listen. Written and mixed in her hometown, Seoul, the infectious EP is a collective of warm, floating yellow purple molecules in the air with introspective shades of cobalt and sage. As much as she has a wide spectrum of taste, Closet Yi cements her core to its place where the most exciting and new coming artists are now.
“POH (Point of Hue)” EP will be released on October 6th under Seoul based label Honey Badger Records.
