Night Slugs with Helix - 20 March 2025

Lately, DJ Shyborg has been fully submerged in the dubstep Renaissance - highly inspired by artists like Beatrice M., Mantra, Mia Koden – only to name a few. For this set, she wants to mix deep, organic and heavy bass tracks from this sonic world with more technoid selections heavy on bass and percussion. The mix will include some of her current favorite realeases on SPE:C, Bait, re:lax, QEONE, Comic Sans Records, Grid and many more. Genres: dubstep, bass, techno

The Rising Wave

futago w/ SlowRolla and amita - 29/04/2024

Featured here: http://hyponik.com/features/gary-gritness-brings-sleazy-g-funk-to-hypercolour/

Gary (who also goes by the name Slikk Tim) hails not from the streets of Detroit, Oakland or Atlanta, but from the post-industrial city of Nancy, France. While he might be a relatively new name as a producer, he’s got plenty of experience as a session musician for the likes of Dâm-Funk and Orlando Voorn, as well as having played for Los Hermanos, the project headed by Gerald Mitchell of Underground Resistance.

Indeed, it was Voorn who introduced Gary to Underground Resistance’s Mad Mike, who helped get him his first deal on Clone Records. Now Gary’s newest slice of futuristic electro funk – The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 1 - is being released on Hypercolour next month.

The EP’s not out until 1st April (no foolin’) but we’ve got the exclusive premiere of the lead track, ‘Preachin’ Some Tight Game’. A super-groovy blend of fluttering jazz chords, silky caramel bass, and raw drum programming courtesy of Gary’s trusted 606. Topped off with a squiggly little G-funk melody that’ll worm its way inside your skull and set up shop for the spring.


First Listen: Gary Gritness - 'Preachin' Some Tight Game' (Hypercolour)

Gary Gritness - Working Girls

Taken from The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol.1, released on Hypercolour on April 1st.

Gritty modern funk from Gary Gritness, aka Slikk Tim and drummer for CF favourites, DopeGems. Cosigned by UR's "Mad" Mike Banks, Gritness has previously released music on Clone and My Love is Underground, and now drops four analogue funk monsters for the UK house & techno label, Hypercolour.

From dark to sweet, the funk is prevalent over all four tracks. We're happy to share Working Girls, the sweetest cut for us.

PREMIERE: Gary Gritness - Working Girls

With two releases already under his belt on Clone, Gary Gritness AKA Slikk Tim lands on Hypercolour with “The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 1”.

Gritness may be a relatively new name on the block, but his session work for artists like Kenny Bobien, Louie Vega and Grant Nelson has marked up this multi-instrumentalist as a clear talent.  Hailing from France, Gritness had been spotted by Underground Resitance’s ‘Mad’ Mike Banks as ‘one to watch’, and on his Hypercolour release, displays a deft hand of producing futuristic funk sounds. 

A spot on blend of raw drum programming and blissfull jazz funk riffs, “Preachin Some Tight Game” sets the EP’s tone just right with its infectious melodies and cruising groove.  Darker 1980’s soundtrack vibes are explored on “Stayin’ Strong Hand” with its thick analogue atmosphere, whilst the laid back and freestyle vibes of “Working Girls” demands to be played in the Cadillac with the top down!  EP closer, “Fly Shit”, continues with the tranquil melodies and G-Funk factor.
