Before you can add to the art form,
you first have to humble yourself to the art form.

Even if you want to destroy it,
you need to know what you are destroying.

Gabe & Jude - Humble Yourself to the Art Form (GANDJ005)

[PREMIERE] Compass - Scaefa | Dürüm Records [2023]

K-LONE returns with his second full length project, ‘Swells’: a kaleidoscopic and expansive record that looks to deep house, synthpop, leftfield R&B and beyond for a spellbinding masterwork of melodic electronica. 

The first single ‘Love Me A Little’ sees K-LONE cherrypick influences from inside and outside the club - decorating house and UKG rhythms with angular, noodling pop melodies that recall Kitsune and Greco Roman in their heydey. Fizzy, lo-fi drums accompany an ear-worming bassline and lush JUNO chords for a summery club-non-club anthem that that marks a new high point in his ever-deepening discography.

K-LONE - 'Love Me A Little' (WSDMLP005)

Watching from the window, it was clear to tell that nobody was home. The rain rattled against the glass and the frame shook from time to time as the wind howled in the cold darkness of the night. All evening had been spent watching, waiting and pacing. Surely they should be home by now?

It was hard to think of oneself as a voyeur yet chance after chance had lead to the miserable, mysterious circumstances by which now must be lived.

Every time the glow of some car headlights passed was enough to stir and shake the senses no end. Hopefully the taxi would return soon and put this sense of urgent dread to bed for one evening.

No Sir is a Brooklyn based DJ and producer who has released music on the likes of 3024 & W133. Now they step up to Faux Poly with a punchy release which fully establishes them as an artist. No Sir reflects on the inspiration behind the record below:

“I started producing this EP at a really challenging moment last summer after I got a concussion that left me pretty much bed bound for a month. During this time I also quit drinking, so my relationship to music and going to clubs saw a complete overhaul. This EP is my attempt to find a space in between the hours spent at my quiet apartment and my return to these loud, dark spaces I see as another kind of home. The title track, Voyeur, was the first piece of music I made after the injury”

PREMIERE: No Sir - Voyeur [Faux Poly]

This EP from German duo @not-even-noticed is a music production lover’s dream. Honestly, the sound design and production levels are just beyond belief in my opinion. Needless to say, they have been on heavy rotation since I first received the demos and they aren’t anywhere close to getting old yet.

They somehow straddle the line between beautiful soundscapes and absolute face melting, eyes rolling back, grabbing the person next to yours’s shoulders heat. Does that even make sense? Well I think you get what I mean.

The EP is out next Friday the 21st. 

Absolutely boomin!

The Cardiff-based duo join the Hotflush family with an EP of the most high-impact examples of their revised output to date. The tempo is up and the edges are harder, and while the classic house inflections are still audible, the influence of European techno and UK bass is the dominant force on these standout cuts.

Carlton Doom’s “Fine EP” sees a return to Hypercolour, adding to a strong discography, including releases on the likes of Hotflush, Neutralizer and Deep Sea Frequency.
 
Armed with intent, the Belfast-based producer & DJ calls on all things dark and distorted, as twisted sound design meets brutal raw breaks in this fervent 3-piece collection.

“I’ll B Fine” sews together shuffling industrial breaks with a grungy, mangled synth drone. “I Miss You” draws on cold steely drums laced with sparkling arps, and “Cesspool” provides stormy synth lines, alongside raucous rumbling drums.

Where I Belong (LUXE Remix)

Premiere: Big Miz ‘Where I Belong (LUXE Remix)’

From the Pulse Modulation EP on Livity Sound. Out 6th October 2023.

Pev swiftly follows up the Pulse EP with another four tracks of sprightly club gear that continue to shape out his current areas of exploration in the studio. As ever, there are no fixed concepts or approaches - just an instinct for energising, inventive tracks taking in a range of tempos and rhythms.  

The first half of Pulse Modulation EP is marked out by linear rhythms which showcase the most techno aspects of Pev’s sound. ‘Pulse V’ is charged with the kind of alien synth lines which could only come from his studio, but also draw a line to the hi-tech soul of foundational Detroit techno. ‘Pulse VI’ has a starker, bleep-led sound pitched towards tougher dancefloors. 

’Pulse VII’ strips things back in comparison, leaning in on a blanket of bass and keeping the drums sparse and to the point - a study in soundsystem pressure.  Widening the spectrum of the record, ‘Pulse VIII’ sees Pev make a rare push up into 160+ territory - something normally reserved for his DJ sets. Swerving obvious break edits, his take on jungle is lean and crisp, delivering a fresh slant on the sound while maintaining the sharp focus of his current output.

London-based duo D3U5E & Gav shatter the mould and incinerate the pieces with Origin Unknown, an otherworldly collection of hydro-dipped bass music and heat-treated breaks that occasionally ventures into experimental techno territory.

Fully loaded with four bassbin bothering cuts, Origin Unknown is arguably the duo’s most accomplished work. It’s a midnight tour through each of London’s 32 boroughs, a glistening and explorative journey through thought-provoking and disruptive dance music, and an extended player that cuts razor-sharp through the noise.

PREMIERE: D3U5E & Gav - Tokyo Drainpipe

Get Movin!. The gunslingers are back in town. Full wild western Darkside drum & bassery.
