Last Magpie – AdLibitum EP 
HYPEDIGI034

1. AdLibitum (Original Mix)
2. Empire (Original Mix)
3. Leavin’ Me (Original Mix)
4. Still Walking

Release date: 28/10/13

Fast becoming a main feature on the Hypercolour and Losing Suki labels, Craig McNamara AKA Last Magpie delivers his another polished EP for the label.

Title track ‘AdLibitum’ is a brooding, slow chugger, it’s dense and minimal beat coming alive with reverberating vox and melancholic chords.  ‘Empire’ ramps up the BPMs, but keeps the dusty production and stripped back drums, a spacious and on point house jam right here.

‘Leavin’ Me’ is a bassier affair, a tom led b-line and some bright and shuffling hats lays the bed for Last Magpie to get playful with an old acapella, whilst the EP closes on the devastating ‘Still Walking’, perhaps the most club-centric of the tracks on this release, it’s bouncing garage vibe and vocal chops should win this Leeds based producer plenty of fans.

Bareskin – Distorted Symmetry EP 
HYPEDIGI035

1. Distorted Symmetry
2. The Shape Of It
3. I Was Born To A Woman From Space

Release date: 18/11/13

Having already made a splash on Hypercolour and Losing Suki back in 2012 (‘Eyes’ EP and ‘Flow Control’ EP respectively), Bareskin makes a return to the roost in November with a sure fire packet of three.

Lead track ‘Distorted Symmetry’ is a deadly slab of pacey and techy house, its vocal bringing in a decent amount of soul to the proceedings.  A proper modern day house record, the production is first class, its reverberating and glitchy beats working a treat amongst the deep melody.

‘The Shape Of It’ comes deeper than a wizards sleeve, a twisted vocal hook held up with fat pads left, right and center, the minimal beats almost lending a pure ambient vibe to this one.  Bareskin AKA Josh Thompson, signs off with the cosmically titled ‘I Was Born To A Woman From Space’, a meaty beatfest, evoking shades of Mood II Swing at their dubbiest, with some extra terrestrial flutterings and deft keys holding up another cracking female vox line, defo one for the erection section.

Releasing, as he calls it, ‘boom boom music’ on labels such as Hotflush, Lobster Theremin and Neutralizer, Belfast based producer Carlton Doom tees up another set of slammers for this second release on the Hypercolour label.

‘Down In Red Light’ EP features a trio of raw and uncompromising bangers, breaks zip past and the rave is strong in these ones, with Carlton Doom deploying mega bass and brain scrambling motifs with serious intent.  Reger is enlisted for a top-drawer remix of ‘Wolf Whistle’ to boot!

Peter Kremeier, AKA Losoul, has always been an artist we’ve greatly admired here at Hypercolour, so it’s a real thrill to have him on the label at long last.  A huge catalogue of eclectic, distinctive and funky music for labels like Playhouse, Moodmusic and Freak ‘n’ Chic, Losoul turns in two exceptional tracks on the ‘Slowly Turning’ release here.

‘Daddy, What’s A Rise?’ is classic Losoul; a heavy low slung groove never lets up, with micro disco stabs and distant vocal snippets, looping round and round for over 10 minutes, but without ever standing still, the filtering and deft touches keep things moving at just the right funky pace.

B side cut ‘Time & Space’ is a glitchy and dubbed out affair, a solid 4/4 beat underpins a myriad of delayed percussion and panning synths, spatial effects and an incessant chord stab, head music for the heads indeed!

Losoul contributes to the Hypercolour resurgence that has pulled in left of center releases from the likes of Eliphino, West Norwood Cassette Library, Will Azada and Maya Jane Coles over recent months, with plenty more goodies lined up for the coming months ahead.

Jamie Russell and Alex Jones set up the Hypercolour imprint back in 2006 and the label continues to dish up genre bending bangers two decades down the line.  For the label’s milestone 100th release, KiNK cues up a killer four track release with ‘For The People’.

One of house music’s most in demand producers and remixers, KiNK has delivered time and time again for labels such as Running Back, Royal Oak, Macro and his own Sofia Records label, and so it’s with great honour that the Bulgarian artist commemorates the label’s centenary with a kaleidoscopic bundle of hyperactive bangers!

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.

Space Dimension Controller touches down on Hypercolour with a heady eight track EP ‘Na Púcaí’.

Having dropped the infectious ‘Cro²ma’ release on the label back in November 2022, SDC takes flight one more with a collection of esoteric sounds, granular electro beats and a nostalgia for electronic music that always sounds futuristic.

Eats Everything - Fries With That (Main Course) Mini-Mix

Blue and Green is the combined production efforts of Josh Thompson AKA Bareskin and J. Wiltshire.  The two young producers both have history with Hypercolour; Wiltshire having recently dropped his ‘False Awakening’ single on the label, and Bareskin having contributed to both Hypercolour and Losing Suki imprints in the past.

Emotive territory is plundered on ‘The Wait’, a breakbeat flecked and pacey production that blends introspective vocals, dark guitar melodies and distorted bottom end with refreshing results.

Alan Fitzpatrick, picks up the mantle on the first of two remixes on this
single.  The Drumcode regular has been firing on all cylinders these last 12 months, with class remixes for Trus’me and dubspeeka and releases for Hotflush, Figure, Cocoon and Adam Beyer’s aforementioned Drumcode label. Fitzpatrick strips back the vocal and creates a peak time rolling Dub Mix in his own solid and inimitable style.

A second remix comes courtesy of techno psychonaut, A Sagittariun.  The Elastic Dreams boss follows up singles on HypeLTD and Secretsundaze and remixes for Permanent Vacation and Futureboogie with a distinctively warm and telepathically charged “Re-Dream”.

A riotous romp through imaginatively used samples, familiar piano riffs, customary beats and other rave tropes, the master of mischief Luke Vibert puts together a 10 track ode to the era of M25 convoys, mobile phone hotlines and raving amongst dogs on strings in British aerodrome fields. 

With a long and extensive history in the UK’s dance counterculture spanning three decades, Vibert has released a barrage of inventive and animated music over the years that really doesn’t take itself too seriously, and is all the better for it.  LPs and singles for Mo Wax, Warp, Planet Mu, Ninja Tune and Rising High really speaks for itself, so it’s a honour to welcome Vibert back onto Hypercolour (after 2014’s ‘Ridmik’ album and 2015’s return of his Kerrier District moniker).

Vibert stiches together a collage of sounds, samples and beats for ‘Luke Vibert Presents UK Garave Vol. 1’ that captures the essence of the rave era perfectly.  Shuffling breakbeats and spine-tingling synths provide the flashbacks on ‘Heard It All B4’ whilst an onslaught of classic vocal hits come at the listener faster than a double drop rush on ‘Feel The Melody’.

‘Feel The Riddim’ doffs it cap at the dawn of UK garage with big bass bin rumbling riffs and Todd Terry beats on +8 whilst ‘U Can’t Touch Dat’ fuses skippy garage beats, rave-tastic stabs and another rewind on the ‘Can You Feel It’ vocal sample that never fails!

Whether you are an ageing raver, or a wide-eyed newbie, ‘Garave Vol. 1’ is a hugely enjoyable frolic in rave’s DAT tape archives, with Vibert playing master of ceremonies to a musical genre that quite simply refuses to die!

As proprietors’ of the Will & Ink label, Yaleesa Hall & Malin Genie have been maintaining a busy and consistent release schedule of top notch techno sounds, largely releasing their own, well received, productions. The duo appeared on Hypercolour’s “10 Years” compilation in 2016 with the excellent “Buchan Trap”, and we’ve been blessed to secure a full single release with the on-point pair.

The mechanical funk of “Artin” swings with plenty of assured groove; the shuffling hats, dense kicks and dubby stabs that ping pong across this fierce production mark this out as a real killer cut.

Dario & Marco Zenker, AKA the Zenker Brothers, take time out from their busy Ilian Tape operations to remix “Artin” into a brutal yet funky techno goliath. Congas perpetually roll forward, with frenetic 909 hats and raw and ready stabs in what may well be one of the Zenker’s finest remixes to date.

The essence of funk continues in Hall & Malin’s music, with “Cahen”, a great slab of compelling techno that never slips too far into darkness, instead keeping an ever evolving groove and some abstract drone like synthesis to keep the mood buoyant.

Wrapping up the release is “Brown”, a track that finishes as urgently as it starts, perhaps with a cap doffed to the Purpose Maker sounds of a certain Jeff Mills, but broadening the palette to allow some trippy sound architecture and an effective breakdown mid way through.

Modern day techno supplied by a duo that will most certainly flourish over the coming months, Yaleesa Hall & Malin deliver the goods aplomb on this Hypercolour single.

The Hypercolour train picks up yet more steam with their next release, a double A side from Maxxi Soundsystem Featuring Name One on vocal duties and legendary sonic inventor Matthew Herbert in the remix role. Brighton based beatsmith Maxxi Soundsystem has risen to the top of the pile in recent months with heartfelt jams for Needwant and Futureboogie all fusing uplifting melodies with melancholic beats. 

And it’s a similar MO on this unassumingly anthemic new track, ‘Regrets We Have No Use For.’ Characterised by a wavy, frayed synth line that grows louder then quieter in the mix, soft shakers bring some wiggle whilst the breathy voice of Name One floats up above. It’s charming and sultry, slowly working its way under your skin at the same time as making you dance all under pinned by a monstrous, all consuming and grumbling bass line that makes your chest throb and head bob. 

Found sound innovator and general all round music chief Matthew Herbert goes for a much less soupy sound on his remix. The beats here are less smooth and more splintered, propping up the now distant, filtered vocal that drifts in and out of focus. Of course, the background synth are now much more unhinged and trippy in Herbert’s hands, with the resulting effect one suited to darkened back rooms in the dead of night. 

As ever, an unpredictable release from Hypercolour but that sounds as unique as anything the label has offered up in the past.

You know we are in for a treat when Luke Vibert, exponent of electronic beats and breaks since the dawn of rave, delivers not one, not two, but three new album projects, each with a specific musical theme and thread.  A set of three long players, collect them all like bubble gum stickers and annoy your neighbours by playing at high volume!

Vibert’s previous album projects for Hypercolour, both as Kerrier District, and under his own name, have always excelled, not to mention his ground-breaking and brain scrambling long players for Warp, Rephlex, Rising High Records, Planet Mu and Ninja Tune.

Vibert revives his Amen Andrews moniker after over a decade lying dormant.  Squarely aiming the sound at the ‘Amen break’, ‘Luke Vibert presents Amen Andrews’ brings together 14 slabs of raucous breakbeat bangers, riddled with cool as fuck samples and bass bin shattering sub!
