Following a short break, Virtual Forest Records are back with a 6-track EP by Fluid Matter, one of the three label founders.
Located on the more bassy side of their universe, Fluid Matter operates here between territories of leftfield bass, post-dubstep, and electro with hints of techno and UK Funky. A release definitely darker than most, deeply rooted in club aesthetics and dedicated to showing specks of light shining in the murkiest night.

Introducing @lo_chi as the artist for Different Intel’s inaugural release.

Bristol-based Lo Chi touches down on Different Intel with an expansive 4-track EP for the label’s inaugural release. This EP explores the versatility of his sound across varying genres and tempos, showcasing outstanding sound design and intricate stylistic choices throughout its entirety. Moving forward Lo Chi is definitely a producer to keep both ears on, backed with major support from prolific prodigies such as Henry Greenleaf, as this EP signifies the first full release in his forthcoming production career.

Pre-orders are available now, massive thanks to those supporting the label so far. To celebrate the launch of the label there is also a bonus track in the contents for supporters of the full release.

Introducing Pala EP, the first instalment of Pressure Dome’s new tape series and a PD debut from London’s City Kudu. So far finding its home across Manchester’s Access Memory imprint, and Kudu’s own beloved brainchild, Kite Hill Records, the emerging producer’s discography toys with space and rhythm to create immersive environments.

In keeping with this theme, Pala EP is a thoughtful display of the ways in which light and shade can co-exist in dance music, each track bolstered by driving bass lines and accented by delicate melodic flares. Honeysuckle and Jade draw on dubbed-out soundscapes taken from the schools of Basic Channel and SND, both enlivened by the dynamism of tuned drums. The former is haunted by a fragmented voice, whilst the latter is bathed in a plaintive ambience. Connected in their half-time pace, Pala and Twine work to further emphasise the dichotomy between light and shade. The title track’s dancehall-indebted rhythm accompanies radiant pads, whilst Twine represents its gritty counterpart, not a far cry from the work of Livity Sound extraordinaires Toma Kami and Kouslin. 

Exclusively on offer to those swift enough to get their hands on a limited edition cassette, the B-side sees Kudu wear the EP’s influences on his sleeve, offering an inspiration mix featuring music that has fed into the sound of the EP.
