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.
