Field Of View EP - ECR007

Linking up with some of our current faves to mark the label's third anniversary, resulting in these four diverse cuts stretching across trippy prog, crisp electro and slo-mo acid.

Anniversary Sampler

PREMIERE: Baby Rollén - Metallic Humanoids [Gestalt]

Label founder Holly Lester pools together a selection of her favourite artists from across the globe to form the first volume in the Duality Trax Visions compilation series. Bouncing from the U.S to Europe, the VA travels through a multitude of moods and genres across seven tracks - including acid tinged electro from New York, breaks infused garage from Chicago, rave-fuelled house music from Belgium and a pulsating trance-inspired club track from Estonia. 

Today we bring you the first listen of 'Umwaya', a dreamy breakbeat number that beautifully rounds off the compilation from Belfast hustler Optmst.  

Keen to reflect the core ethos of the label, the compilation series name serves as a nod towards her ideals of a more equalised future in electronic music - something which is fittingly demonstrated throughout this stellar lineup. 100% of compilation profits will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, who provide medical care to casualties of war in Gaza, Syria, Yemen and much more. The organisation has also worked tirelessly to provide Covid-19 related aid to countries hit the hardest throughout the pandemic and are currently lobbying for a global waiver of patents on COVID-19 technologies.

Premiere: Optmst - Umwaya [Duality Trax]

It’s time to take a trip to the other side of the world and see how they are doing it over in Melbourne Australia. It’s now very well documented how much heat is coming out of the fine city of Melbourne at the moment and that rich vein is set to be continued right here, right now.
suki & Sniper1 come correct with four of the dance flooriest bangeroos I’ve heard in a good long while. There is barely a moment’s rest on this record and that is just the way I like it. If you like making people dance to the absolute max and I mean to the MAX then there is simply no excuse to not have this record in your bag.

It’s as simple as that.

OK enough of my blather. Go and listen to the damn things yourself and decide if you like them, rather than trying to work it out from reading a bloody press release you weirdos. 

All four tracks are produced and sculpted for the club. They want big sound systems and dark rooms. 

Close your eyes, hold hands and experience transcendental space flight...

Double Stars; often orbiting in tandem and gravitationally bound together, are usually mistaken as a singular light. An unmistakable parallel to the Space Cadets, Leeds trail blazers Lisene and Adam Pits join in magnetic union for Planet Euphorique’s big 1-5 to showcase their sole vision; superior prog synergy. Warp Drive gets flung into hyperdrive by your local enigma Rudolf C and the B side is a case of nuclear audio fission, splitting the duo so their individual and technical flair can shine. No doubt you’ve crossed paths with something hot on this disc in the encompassing party atmosphere; four straight up essentials for a function of chaos. 

The title track breaks in the EP with frisky righteous drums, precision in rhythm; swinging stylishly. Cosmos loom within reach, infinite rolling with baselines built for the long haul; an expertise in tension and release revealed through sonic sweeps and delicate filter explorations. A match made in heaven, Rudolf C has been gliding on similar trajectories; elevating the Warp Drive to a celestial level; the Psychedelic Envisionment accentuating the original's intricacies whilst maintaining the swagged flow and dancefloor steeze. Distorted pulsations and modulations swirl above head to signal the B side split show; driving bass anchoring the higher frequency expeditions, Lisene mastering the spectrum of sounds with Moral Panic and breaking up the 4/4 pursuit. Meanwhile Adam Pits closes things out with an ethereal highway drive; cruising, twinkling and boasting telescopic trance like skills. 

A perfectly balanced blend of modern, innovative and familiar, veteran status technological slick hits; you’re in good hands.

Mother Of Pearls (@mother-of-pearls), the duo of Tom Jarmey (@tom-jarmey) and Ed Hodge (@edward-hodge), are back in action after gracing listeners with their earth-shattering debut and sophomore releases nearly two years ago. Now they land firmly on the prolific Brooklyn label HOMAGE with their 'Gelexian Protocol' EP, serving up four delicious slices of rumbling bass and breaks along with a remix by Viers (@viers).

Based in Manchester, both Tom and Ed have quickly become consistent fixtures of clubland. Tom's releases on Holding Hands, Lobster Theremin, Dansu Discs, and more, and Ed's releases on Tresydos, Gestalt, Shall Not Fade, and Dansu Discs have proven that both artists are dependable purveyors of underground dancefloor material. Their debut collaborative EP on R.A.N.D. Muzik Recordings and their sophomore release on Gunfinger Food introduced their distinct sound in 2020 and 2021 and their third full length here will deliver the next chapter of their story.

Leading off the release is 'Hive' with a weighty bassline and brain-tickling textures underneath a haunting vocal, clearly setting the tone for an A-side aimed at the most transcendent moments caught in the dance. 'Machine Language' follows appropriately with a deep chest-rattling low end and breakbeat rhythms wrapped in a warm blanket of atmosphere, earworm synths, and seductive vocal stabs. On the flip side, Mother Of Pearls amps up the energy and taps into the duo's rave influence with 'Peace On Halcyon', pairing hyper rhythms with a piercing synth and booming bass. Rounding out the originals is the Ambient Mix of 'Machine Language', with meditative textures delicately guiding the listener on a blissful sonic journey. Finally completing the release is the Viers remix of 'Peace On Halcyon', completely flipping the original into an otherworldly bass anthem that fits right at home on this stacked release.

If you have not been keeping tabs on the burgeoning club scene of Melbourne, you have truly been missing out on some of the most forward-thinking, self-reliant producers in electronic music today. Unlike the established communities of Berlin, London, or even New York City, Melbourne's music is relatively new and coming to life before our very eyes. I believe the thousands of miles that separate the city from traditional music hubs have created a DIY attitude amongst its artists - forcing them to rely on themselves and what they absorb from the internet to develop their signature sound.

Although it's difficult for us to describe what that "sound" is, the lads over at Echocentric Records have set out to capture it through their upcoming three-part vinyl series that aims to dig deeper into the Australian underground by showcasing its emerging talent. Titled "Musica Australis Incognita," this phrase roughly translates into "Unknown Music From The South" and plays upon the Latin roots in which Australia's name is based upon.

The first entry of this series is "Field Of View," which is an EP from Benjamin Stendell aka Solar Suite. The record includes three original tracks and a remix from fellow Melbournian upstart Escape Artist. The title track, which we are premiering today, exemplifies the kind of traits that are emblematic of the city's developing sound. Drawing on breakbeat and trance influences, Solar Suite melds together an ambient mixture of rippling synths and booming bass that undulate between moments of peaceful euphoria and chaotic dance. The track also contains some heavily-reverberated vocals and galactic bleeps and bloops that give it an otherworldly feel seemingly fit for a rave in space. 

Fortunately, you do not have to leave orbit to possess these melodies. They can be safely consumed here on earth. All you need to do is pre-order the vinyl by following the link above. 

Field Of View is set to hit stores on October 16th. 

The rest of Echocentric's three-part series is expected to come out in early December and late January, featuring music from the likes of Point Guard, PMA, DJ Life, and Rudolf C.

PREMIERE: Solar Suite - Field Of View

Hailing from Melbourne, Australian, Solar Suite delivers the account opener for Echocentric Records' new three-part series titled “Musica Australis Incognita”. The series focuses on showcasing timeless and captivating contemporary electronic music from a new-generation of Aussie producers. While the upcoming instalments will feature music by Point Guard, DJ Life, Rudolf C and PMA, Solar Suite sets the tone with an excellent 4-tracker, including a remix by Kalahari Oyster Cult releasing artist Escape Artist.

Premiere: Solar Suite - Outer Orbit (Escape Artist's Inner Orbit Mix) [Echocentric Records]

@adampits is as quintessential to the label as it gets. His first two Eps were full on baskets of dynamite and number three is no different. He has three variations on a theme in A Minor, and the theme is...absolute slammeroos.

Remix duties come from great friends of the label and Slam Jams 1 gang, @Tape-Fear. They’ve come correct with an absolute hound dog of a 2-step take on Variation 1. Turn the subs up and dive on in...

Vinyl release is February 26th.
Digital release is March 26th.
