‘Nelson of the East’ delves into new territory with this release; venturing into a new sonic landscape with a nod towards towards the club. However - the complex, percolating rhythmic flavours that have stood out in his previous productions remain at the forefront of all 3 tracks on this EP. 

The track, ‘Sub Erotic’ encapsulates this new stripped back yet sophisticated approach that has been formulated for this EP. 

A sparse arrangement leads to several meticulously crafted layers that interplay with one another throughout the entirety of the track - resulting in a simple yet absorbing outcome. 

The funk laden bassline underpins the body of the track providing a simple yet effective groove that’s oh so easy to lock into, whilst the almost metallic drenched percussive element add an ever-morphing layer of ear candy above. 

As in many of his previous releases, ‘Nelson of the East’ gives a nod to a host of non-western drum elements, patterns, and sequences that result in a dynamic yet organic rhythm that contribute to his truly authentic, creative and unique sound.

‘Nelson of The East’ - Sub Erotic E.P [TDE01] Available May 6 on vinyl and digital.

Ana Tijoux
Ana Tijoux (born in 1977 in France, daughter of Chilean exiles) is one of the most influential voices in contemporary Latin American music. Her style blends hip hop, conscious rap, and Latin American roots, with lyrics charged with social critique, historical memory, and cultural affirmation. From her beginnings with the group Makiza to her solo career, she has built a body of work that fuses rhythm and poetry with strong political and human commitment.

1997
“1997” is one of her most personal songs. In it, Tijoux returns to her intimate story, reflecting on childhood, displacement, and the scars of exile. With a melodic and confessional tone, the song connects the biographical with the universal, showing how music can be a space for healing, remembering, and resisting. Listening to it is stepping into the memory of an artist who understands creation as an act of identity and truth.

1977 (Sabroso Mix)

Haŵs Party Vol. 2 is a record of soulful, introspective tracks, as though you’ve suddenly become alone on the dance-floor and you turn inwards to explore. Whilst Haŵs Party Vol. 1 took an interstellar road-trip into space, the sophomore release takes a more drawn-out, lengthy cruise into the internalised, cerebral soundscapes of dance music. Wading through the borders between electro, breaks, acid and house, the second instalment from the Cardiff-based label and event promoters travels through uncharted regions of the sprawling atlas of music via another catalogue of exceptional names.
Jad & The’s honey-eyed electro opener ‘Digital Daintree’ is as groove-inducing as it is impassioned – a compact knit of synths, pads and rainforest samples that has no problem in stirring the creative hemisphere of the mind. The glossy interweave is torn apart swiftly, however, by the subsequent track; Dan Only’s ‘Pointless Melody’ is far from purposeless, but impishly bolts between weighty breaks and a greedy acidity that is tempered down by the dainty melody peering through the crevices. The final track on the A-side, ‘Hometurf’, comes from Aleksandir, who projects his lightheaded, wistful sound into warm breakbeats and a soaring repository of arpeggios that’ll have you ceaselessly yearning for some forgotten memory that you assumed had been lost forever.
Harry Griffiths’ ‘Llyn’ ushers away the breaks and replaces them with sun-dappled arrangements of chords and incandescent melodies that flutter like the hypnagogic visions that occur just before you dream. Carlo’s ‘White Lies’ takes the groove deeper than the fissures of the brain. Deliciously raw, balmy and with a frisky bassline, it’s a deep house track that gets back to the pure state of jamming through a wash of live samples from his collaborator, Nikoss. Does the past or future exist, or are we in the perpetual now? The existential rumination is carried gently back to reality with Sandboards rounding up proceedings. A placid coaxing out of the six-track reverie, ‘Japan Pt. 2’ scoops you up in nostalgic bells, pacifying drums and purring basslines until you’re ready to wake up.
It’s an internal excursion for all. Close your eyes, let the motions of your mind plunge deep into your soul, and have your body do the talking.

PREMIERE : Dan Only - Pointless Melody

We’ve observed the resurgence in broken beat and sometimes it feels like an over-used production hack. However, Parish gives the broken beat genuine purpose in this acidic, emotionally charged 7 minute sojourn. It reminds us a little bit of Tin Man, which can be no bad thing!

This compilation is raising money and awareness for @mentalhealthfoundation, a charity tackling an issue which the label and Flux hold dear. Please check it out and give generously!

WRECKS024 comes live and direct from Psy Def X, a new production project delivered directly from the minds of studio partners Luca Lozano and Tornado Wallace. Featuring proto-progressive rhythms and early trancin' flavours, the EP ranges from unabashedly bigroom to tripped out rainforest ambience and incorporates the early influences of a genre and sound that was both exciting and inventive.

We at Bolting Bits keenly anticipate every release from X-Kalay, a label outputting varied strands of house, techno, breakbeat sounds, electro and more. Recurring themes of music from the London label are gritty drums and acid-or-almost-acid textures, wrapped up in energetic dance floor material suitable for 1-3am peak-time club nights. So we’re unsurprised, in the best possible way, about their latest release.

Today we’re premiering Rest Assured, the B1 track from LT’s debut EP on label. The three track record certainly has a particular sound, an original style. All three tracks flow smoothly between sections of almost only drums and bass into long stretches of uplifting and brighter pads and chords. The result is that sweet spot between change and continuity.

Rest Assured is the slowest and our favourite of the three tracks. Heavy breakbeat rhythms pop up sporadically throughout the song, sometimes intersecting with long, drawn out pads. Electricsounding percussion is another nice feature. If that’s hard to picture, that’s because it’s hard to describe. Let’s go with something like high-pitched tom drums if they spoke robot? The safest bet is to check it out for yourself.

The A1 track, Sputnik (B.S.S.), on the other hand, is faster and more energetic. There’s a similar dynamic between breakbeats and pads, but the vibe is, unmistakably, designed for a warmed-up dance floor. B2 and the title track of the EP, Staminize, sits somewhere between the other two. It’s powerful without being forceful or abrasive and could feasibly be weaved into a set in the first or latter half of a night.

Staminize drops today, January 14. So, especially you crate diggers, do yourselves a favour and get on this one early.
