Acid Julz - What has been seen, can never be unseen

“Tropical Mindset” is a smooth blend of sun-kissed melodies, deep grooves, and carefree vibes. A track made for golden sunsets, ocean breezes, and letting your spirit drift to warmer places. It’s not just music—it’s a state of mind

Tropical mindset

http://hyponik.com/features/first-listen-caski-structures-four-seasons/

Caski has been enjoying something of a period of gestation in his adopted hometown of Bristol since making the move around three years ago and retreating from the 140bpm templates in which he first made a name for himself.

2014’s emf:004 for Indigo’s Electro Magnetic Fields imprint offered a glimpse at the fruits of the producer’s sonic maturation: a stripped back handful of mould-busting beats littered with pitch-bent vocal samples.

Continuing in the same percussive vein as Four Seasons’ inaugural release from Callahan (AKA Pasteman), Caski’s Structures EP is a groove-stuffed romp that blends industrial strength kicks and claps with field recording snippets and shuffling hats to create a moody, eyes-down three track batch that somehow remains utterly danceable.

All of dubstep’s minimalist hallmarks are still here – and the sub-bass too – but rhythmically there are elements of techno, dancehall and grime all battling for the steering wheel.

In fact, in throwing out all notions of singular genre category compliance this record probably has more in common with the original dubstep movement than an idle first listen might suggest. And it’s arguably this that makes it so appealing.

Check out the exclusive premiere of the title track above, and pick up the rest of the Structures EP – available on 12” and in all the usual digital formats – from February 8th.

Catalogue Number: BP013
Title: Common Ground
Artist: Lisene / Hartta / Sourpuss / Interplanetary Criminal
Genre: Drum & Bass / Jungle
Release: June 2020

Tracklist:

B2 Interplanetary Criminal - Vapour

Banoffee Pies Records drop the 13th release in the original series. This VA entitled "Common Ground" is a crossover of influences from 4 artists with a selection of tracks all above 150bpm from producers of a similar generation giving a nod to their youth and early musical journeys, largely inspired by Drum & Bass and Jungle raves across the UK.

The release divided in two with a Dark A side and Light B side offering two moods of liquidity. The opening track "Class Of '92" comes from Leeds based Lisene, one half of the Space Cadets duo, with previous releases on Seven Hill Records and more. The A2 from Bristol based Hartta offers a more spooked bass heavy cut with "Hauntology".

The B side begins with title track "Common Ground", an ode to dusted jungle and liquid drum & bass from another Leeds head Sourpuss, known for running the Stretchy Dance Supply parties. The last track on the disc "Vapour" comes from Manchester's Interplanetary Criminal. With his UKG EP "Move Tools" on BP010 landing on the label and many dance floors at the end of 2019, this nostalgic drum scattered jungle cut stylishly closes off the compilation. Limited Press.
