Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood imprint dips back into the electronic melting pot to compile its fourth “electr*c” compilation in as many years. The fruits of intensive exploration of the cracks and crevices within today’s wonderfully fractured bass music movement, Brownswood electr*c 4 features exclusive music from a new crop of up and comers. Some like Frenchman Nikitch and Belgian wunderkind LTGL are fresh out of the blocks, whilst the likes of Deft, Adam Elemental, Glenn Astro, D Tiberio and B Lewis have cultivated relative online infamy in recent times, each carving out their own unique path and singular artistry. 

As usual we run the full gamut of styles, skipping from searing hypercolour hip-hop/bass hybrids; through ever so slightly wonky deep house; furious footworkin’ D&B that recalls vintage Metalheadz cuts circa ’96 (but somehow sounds steadfastly futuristic); awesomely drunken R&B; wrecking ball 808-driven bangerz; and introspective emo bumps… It’s a cluttered, chaotic, hyperactive kaleidoscopic trip – no doubt – but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Founded by Alex “Patchwork” Stevenson (Patchwork Pirates / Earnest Endeavours) in 2010, the aim of this series was very simply to replicate the ethos of Peterson’s much loved Brownswood Bubblers series and provide a platform for new, up and coming artists starting to make waves in the worldwide underground. It’s an approach that has characterised Gilles’s approach to DJing, broadcasting and music from the very beginning of his career and it lies at the very heart of his accidental slogan: “Searching for the perfect beat”.

The inaugural Brownswood electr*c in June 2010 provided a compelling snapshot of the dance music underground’s greyer areas, rounding up then newcomers (now major players) Shlohmo, Rockwell, 16bit, George Fitzgerald, Mosca and Mount Kimbie. Subsequent volumes burrowed deeper into the warren-like electronic landscape uncovering hidden treasures from Ta-ku, Koreless, Synkro & Indigo (these days known as Akkord), Stray (one third of Ivy Lab) and highlighted underground anthems by the likes of Dub Phizix and Krampfhaft, in addition to a whole raft of exceptionally talented newcomers.

Samename shares this Refix of the Wiley's legendary "Snowball" track. 
It has been done more than a year ago and have already been played by few big heads, but we really wanted to share this one with you because it really shows the journey Samename has done from the Eski huge influence to a more personal sound design.

Yume EP out May the 19th.

Genre-bending vibes on today's exclusive as we present a cut from Defrostatica's brand new 'Rogue Style' EP from HomeSick! Celebrating the crossover between hip-hop, footwork and D&B, 'Mass Appeal' lurches along to a fantastic swung beat as chops, slaps and snares rain down around soft, bleepy melodies. Futuristic and retro all at once, this is that crossover sound at it's best; look for this alongside new beats from Sinistarr, Kiat and Kabuki from May 19th.

Rad Attitude EP

Premiere: CM-4 'Acid Drop Gap'

Moving away from the mellower, Far East-influenced ‘Taiko’ EP from 2017 on the label, the Manchester producer exemplifies his range of sound with four weighty and moody tracks heavily focused on the dancefloor.

Elements of dubstep run through the EP, especially on the title track with its floor-shaking bass rumbles, accompanied by skitterings of percussion and warped cries of ‘murder’. In line with KAIZEN’s ethos, the rest of EP fuses elements of techno and grime to devastating effect, layered with spacey atmospherics and off-kilter rhythms.

With love already shown by Ben UFO, Pinch, Loefah, Object Blue and Klose One, there’s no doubt Walton’s destructive club cuts will be getting plenty of minutes in the dance.

The ‘Murdah’ EP follows Walton’s ferocious ‘Inside’ EP on Pinch’s Tectonic Recordings and his debut album ‘Black Lotus’ on the same label in 2018.

The forthcoming IMMINENT EP from our friends at Ten Toes Turbo is out December 16th and today we share with you the first listen to our favorite cut off the EP. 'Be On My Side' flaunts moody pad swells and tangy hi-hat patterns sprinkled with cleverly phrased breaks.
