Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Ayesha lines up a four-track EP with Scuffed Recordings, channelling percussive techno, breaks, and bass.

The Potential Energy EP bears all the hallmarks of the sonic universe that Ayesha has made her own on previous releases for the likes of Fever AM, Kindergarten Records, Control Freak, and Daytimers.

Ending the EP is ‘Dark Matter’, the fastest and heaviest track of the bunch, which saw its first outing during Yung Singh’s already-legendary Boiler Room set as part of the Daytimers takeover.

Eclipse Tribez return with an EP from London based produced Dervisis.

Dervisis is a producer and DJ with an idiosyncratic sound. In his output he intertwines references from different styles and origins into percussive-driven productions with organic sound designs and addictive hooks. 

Dervisis studies the application of the shared rhythms of the Eastern Mediterranean into contemporary club music, which noticeably comes to on this club-focussed roller '05تتφιÇ', from four-track EP titled 'Akθάλασσαتاعاقيإ' (which means "Eastern Mediterranean Rhythms" for those of us that are yet to master Turkish-Greek-Arabic).

RENT001: this is the first in a series of one-off tracks from Mosca.

The Optics was the A-side to my forthcoming release on Whities / AD93 but finding a suitable B-side was getting long, and I wanted this to be available sooner rather than later as I've got ppl asking about it. There's only so long you can keep a track with a baby crying in it back from the masses

Clemency presents References (Remixed) - three re-interpretations of her debut EP by Perko, Boofy and Jennifer Walton. 

Each remix builds on the sparse dissonant sounds of Clemency’s original production into three heavyweight soundsystem workouts. 

Perko works ‘Testimony’ into a wriggling, hypnotic drum workout; 
Boofy leans into ‘Biblical Names’’ subby rhythmic momentum; 
Jennifer Walton pairs ‘Mimic Animals That Are Easy to Love’s menacing sirens with apocalyptic 303s and unforgiving percussion. 

References was originally released with a collection of Clemency’s own personal references - including poetry, fiction, coordinates and cosmetics - that inspired the record. References (Remixed) comes with new references from each remixer to accompany their interpretations.

Label: Banoffee Pies Records
Artist: Cassius Select
Title: Heavyweight
Catalogue Number: BP015
Genre: Techno / Broken Beat / Grime
Release: November 2020

Tracklist: 

A1 Born To Defence 
A2 Honda Civic
B1 Sicko Groove
B2 Guia Circuit


Banoffee Pies Records 15th Original Series release comes from Cassius Select. Canadian born producer Lavurn Lee, now residing in his home city of Hong Kong, drops his latest solo EP “Heavyweight”. His unique style and selective output has drawn our attention for some time. This release does exactly what it says on the tin. With previous appearances on the likes of Matthew Herbert's Accidental JNR., Hypercolour and more, he has maintained a primary focus on rhythmic structures, alienated textures and eerie vocalisations that flaunt a strong influence and appreciation for UK techno, Hip Hop, Garage, and all things Broken Beat. 

The release kicks off with “Born To Defence”, a mood setter scattered with punchy drum rolls and wild toms that set the tone for a harmonic palette across the 4 tracks. The A2 “Honda Civic” displays a tougher edge using a hybrid of sound. Pulsing late night business - Hatchback style. “Sicko Groove” gets the B side off the ground with a chest rattling, Grime inspired club track, sliding further up the weight divisions before things close off with “Guia Circuit”, a more techy low end tool with notable energy shifts. BP015 sustains stripped back but relentless percussion throughout. “The Original Circuit Training Soundtrack”. Love BP x

Hessle Audio welcome Laksa to the label with three tracks of rowdy and forward-thinking dance music, following his last release on Timedance in September.

On the A-side, ‘Fire Kit’ sees the London-based producer and DJ approaching his sound from a different direction, with dancehall infused percussion offset by enveloping layers of sub-bass warmth at 95bpm.
The B side jacks up the tempo with a raucous energy as the temperature drops to below freezing. Basslines rumble in ‘Belly Brocka’ and ‘T’s Tent’ like an approaching storm and snares lash through the mix like ice picks, with the broken rhythmic energy driving the dance forward in 2021 and beyond.

Running the club night and monthly NTS show ‘re:lax’ with re:ni, Laksa has been consistently pushing bass mutations since his early EPs on Beneath’s Mistry label. A Bristol bass bobbler at heart, his hybrid sound has found a home on many respected labels such as Timedance, Ilian Tape and Whities, cementing his place amongst the latest UK talent.

London label, Control Freak have made quite the impact since their first release last year. Welcoming Keplrr alongside debuts from Guava and label-head Customer Service so far, they pride themselves on a love for intricate sounds on wax. Seeding techno sensibilities with UK bass twists.

With yet another label debut on the way, this time we see Syz landing with solo EP 'Bunzunkunzun'. A trio of complex dancefloor rippers, it's an all-rounder with shades of brightness pitted alongside thick skanked up textures. 

The title track is the bounciest of the three. Showcasing Syz's clear aptitude for freaki rhythms, it's destined for show-stopping dancefloor moments. Heads down, hips twist, jaws swings. We can't wait to hear this fired up on a system to the masses.
