Chrissy Murderbot is already known as one of Chicago’s finest purveyors of juke and footwork, the man behind the Dead Homies and Sleazetone labels, and with releases on Planet Mu, Halocyan & more.  And he crops up here on Hypercolour under his Chris E Pants moniker, unveiling a superbly varied EP.

Lead track ‘Can’t Shake Loose’ takes no prisoners, a belting 909 kick and a disturbed acid line evokes shades of old school pioneers like D.H.S. and Green Velvet, touched by the hand of rave!  On ‘Tare’, Chris E Pants getting all melodic on us and all the better for it, a cool little heads down number…

Title track ‘Fallout’ is a sweeter affair, flecks of female vox over a sturdy house beat are held up with the mother of all b-lines and gnarly synth work, and on ‘Call Me You’, Chris takes it one deeper for a flute laden, tight jacker, slightly reminiscent of that classic Plez track (Can’t Stop).  

Judy Judy Judy follows the 4/4 path on this EP, all bleepy and moody vibes, and a killer one to finish off a well rounded and expertly executed Extended Player for Hypercolour.


Chris E Pants - Call Me You (HYPEDIGI036) (clip)

Sehr smooth und synthblubberverliebt, der Titeltrack. Dazu noch dieser fast schon vergessene spanische Sprechgesang. Ach. Herzig. Und dabei übertreibt der Track nie, sondern bleibt immer vor allem smooth und bezaubernd. 

Ein Stück für die Afterhour auf Ibiza. Klar, aber dabei dennoch klingelnd glücklich. Und noch besser “Soledad”, auf dem die Synths erst mal die Hälfte des Tracks solo vor sich hin glucksen können. 

Der Remix von Bearweasel macht House draus, was mir im Zusammenhang mit der Stimme einen Hauch zu klassisch ist aber Pedramovich’s-Glass-Table-Remix hat etwas von einem geschliffen klaren Robert-Hood-Mix auf Abwegen.

Garchantes (Bearweasel RMX)

CCL launches their subglow label with Rebuild, an EP from Bristol club provocateur @georg-i, featuring remixes from @Metrist and the elusive B. McQueen.

Rebuild is influenced by math rock's feverish and cataclysmic energy, eschewing conventional club BPMs in favour of dizzying tempo trickery and polymetric wizardry. “Torn In Two” gets off to a slow, chugging start, with raucous synths riffing over emphatic drums, but soon swirls into a juddering, pointillistic frenzy. “Bridging The Gap” is a cathartic shout, an acidic crescendo whose triplet meter offers tempo-transitioning opportunities for adventurous DJs who don’t mind a bit of maths. “Communication” gallops along cathartically through ricocheting synths and drums, unfolding into a thrilling breakdown. On remix duties, B. McQueen re-imagines “Torn In Two” as a sultry, dubbed-out roller, charting groove across a heady plain, while Metrist’s ambitious rework of “Communication” amps up the tension and primes it for a peak-time dancefloor sometime in the next millennium.

Singapore-born, London-based producer yingtuitive introduces herself with Letters To Self 寫情書, a deeply personal debut LP arriving on Will Hofbauer’s Third Place.

A classically trained pianist whose musical identity draws from Southeast Asian traditions, electronic experimentation, and diasporic reflection, yingtuitive crafts soundscapes that feel both intimate and expansive. The project is accompanied by two stunning reworks from esteemed creators: South Korean ambient duo Salamanda, known for their lush, meditative textures, and US artist Tristan Arp, celebrated for his organic, shape-shifting productions.

“Every musical moment in this album is essentially a letter to my self in some form…” - yingtuitive

Across eight original compositions, Letters To Self 寫情書 unfolds as a sonic diary, a search inward, a series of tender emotional missives to the self. Gamelan-inspired textures glimmer alongside field recordings captured in Singapore and the UK, while delicate, improvised piano passages echo memories of home. These elements intertwine with fragments of film samples and experimental electronics, resulting in tracks that glide through ambient, ethereal, and blissful terrains. It’s music that floats and envelops, as though nature itself had grown into sound, serene and rich in emotional resonance.

Written during a period of deep reflection, the album meditates on identity, homesickness, belonging, and the overwhelming noise of the world outside. Each piece feels like a still moment within chaos, a soft conversation between past and present selves, where harmony emerges from internal conflict. From angelic piano melodies to glitchy bursts of experimentalism, yingtuitive bridges her Singaporean roots and UK influences with blissful grace. Letters To Self 寫情書 marks not just a debut release, but the formation of a unique musical voice, gliding between cultural languages with honesty, vulnerability, and quiet strength.

96 Back - 27 June 2025

It's certainly one of my best recorded mixes. There were no imperatives, no obligations, no need to do this one. Just two afternoons, one to dig and one to record.

This mix transcribes my influences and my musical universe with enthusiasm. With lots of new tracks this time. 125 to 140 bpm.

Thanks to everyone who sent me their music. Uk Funky, Percussive club, Dub, Techno, Hardgroove & UK Garage.

I promise you it was a fashionable haircut in the 90's.

Hypercolour proudly announce the latest long player from UK stalwart, Ed DMX AKA DMX Krew, the visionary British electronic producer who has been responsible for a slew of excellent releases for labels like Rephlex, Spectral Sound, Permanent Vacation and his own Breakin’ Records and Fresh Up Records since the mid 1990s.

‘You Exist’ is DMX Krew’s debut appearance on Hypercolour, and as expected the record features nine tracks of beautifully crafted, melodic electronic sounds.  From the opener ‘Spiritual Encounter’, DMX sets the tone perfectly with oodles of pitch perfect synth riffs and driving drums, working his way through snappy and bright pop moments like ‘Hard Copy’ to more melancholic, darker cuts like ‘Computational Paradigm Shift’.  DMX breezes in and out of electro techno territory to more contemplative IDM vibes with ease, testimony to the guy’s talent (that’s also seen him wear the hat of over 10 aliases throughout his career to date).

‘You Exist’ captures a very true and genuine musical form, produced and delivered with love from one of the scene’s unsung heroes, and makes it a great companion piece to another Hypercolour released album from similar stock (take your pick from Luke Vibert’s 2014 ‘Ridmik’ album or his latest Kerrier District LP).  A consistent and engaging album then from DMX Krew that will pleasure the ear buds of discerning listeners everywhere.
