Laenz - After Sunset [WZY004]
Announced: 13th Mar 2024
Release Date: 29th Mar 2024
Preorder: https://woozydublin.bandcamp.com/album/wzy004-after-sunset

Laenz joins EMA’s beloved Woozy family with After Sunset; an extended player of haunted dub architecture, set out within a found-sound planetarium of deconstructed rhythms and textural deviancy. Seminal UK producer and Hemlock Recordings’ founder Untold also features with his first remix in 9 years. 

Brooklyn-based Laenz reimagines the expansive structures of her native city as aural scaffolding, reconstructing indeterminate spaces via an emotional rendering process of world building. It’s music that explores the duality of shape and unform, immersed in traditions of sound design and latter-day UK broken beat techno binded by a tender hauntology that’s sublimely immersive as it is intimately personal. After Sunset is her debut for EMA’s boundary-pushing Woozy imprint, following releases for Early Reflex, Rhizome and Eastern Margins, a project detailing elongated processes of varying intensities evoking a rawness which she described as a “war on the heart”. It’s a body of music that’s a direct portal into Laenz’ singular vision, and highlights her inimitable talent amongst the milieu of bass-leaning producers of New York and beyond. 

Ballad Before The Break intros us with a garbled chug of out-of-body proportions, before Choices marches in with an uncanny half time of tense textures and After Sunset follows with trip-hop adjacent psychedelia gorged in subs. B-side opens with Echoes Until, a lurching wormhole of disorientating skank while wiL offers a gorgeous ambient epic circled by a percussion-heavy concrète of breakcore abstraction. Untold sees us out with a remix of Choices, a trip into his unrivalled sound world, buoyant by throbbing modulation and rolling kicks of pure surreality.

Laenz - After Sunset WZY004 (Previews)

Fresh up on the docket this fine Wednesday morning is from the latest release on the supreme Qeone imprint. Helmed by Polygonia, as one of her many projects, she strives to release only quality and we are no strangers to supporting her endeavors. As part of the seventh release, she looks to Mexican producer Gerardo Torres aka MirrorLake and his club friendly Moa EP. Chock full to the gills with a swelling combination of dub and deep techno, the four tracker is another excellent addition to Qeone’s catalog.

Flora Imaginaria leads off the Moa ep, setting a tone for what is to come later. Breakish percussion joined by dubby chords gives a backdrop to a delightfully dancey affair. Images of hazey clubs and nights out abound as MirrorLake’s swelling melodies ebb and flow.

Flora Imaginaria and the remainder of the Moa EP will be released on March 20th.

Dutch live-act and DJ duo Artefakt return to Delsin Records with an intricately produced three track release entitled ‘Falling Into The Light’ this May.

Real names Robin Koek and Nick Lapien, the duo began releasing music together as Artefakt in 2012 and now boast a discography spanning Field Records, Konstrukt and Deep Sound Channel, not to mention regular appearances on Delsin where their debut album entitled ‘Kinship’ dropped last year. Returning to Delsin, the pair’s next outing once again demonstrates their ever-evolving sound and is an exciting precursor for the launch of their own label later this year.

Rolling drums open the release in ‘Blue Hour’ as murky synths join hazy atmospherics, making way for ‘Weltformel’ with its racing syncopated percussion and ethereal pads that ebb and flow throughout the mix. Finally, ‘Falling into The Light’ combines springy kicks with crystalline melodies, metallic elements and rattling effects to conclude a mesmerising release.
