==================
Everything Merged Vol 2
(release Dec 2)

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations in 2021, as well as countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 2” features both artists debuting their first tracks on a label as well as mainstays of core local scenes like London, NYC, SF and Berlin. From the percussive mastery of Sister Zo, Arcane Prospect and Manchester's DR MYSTERY to the sly techno mutations of Kudeki, Clay Wilson and Pino Peña, this collection highlights the wide variety of sounds and influences inhibiting the current electronic scene. Especially check out the post-pando exuberance of uuklyph, Henry Kerins and Padoa and the bass mutations of Dutch duo TMSV & Case, Kenji Ko, Ragdy and Rex the Bard!

Hessle Audio welcomes Toumba to the label with the four track EP ‘Petals’. Based in Amman, Jordan, Toumba explores Levantine microtonality, rhythms, play styles and timbres across the record. Lead track ‘Istibtan’ is a twist on a typical Jordanian wedding song with deep subs providing the foundations, while 'Petals' rides on the heavy swing which is unique to music from the south of Jordan. On the flip side, 'Hazzeh' deconstructs Dabkeh, while the EP is rounded off with 'Identity Crisis' which is four minutes of lilting melodies all in Maqam Rast but played in an untraditional way.

Toumba is a producer, DJ and sound designer and is a curator at MNFA, a club and arts space in Jordan’s capital Amman. A nationally respected artist, Toumba also holds a residency at the MMAG Foundation. The foundation works with a selection of the most gifted artists in the Levant, providing a space for artistic research, production and critical discourse.

@stonestaro returns to Scuffed Recordings with three new UK-tinged club tracks, backed by a remix from @tim-reaper.

The trajectory of Kyoto-based Stones Taro and Scuffed Recordings have been intertwined since their earliest days, with Taro releasing one of the first EPs on Scuffed back in 2017 and releasing regularly with Ian DPM and Wager's label ever since.

Since then, his tracks have been supported by the likes of Ben UFO, DJ Q, Jamz Supernova, Conducta and Soichi Terada, with releases on Time Is Now, Kouncil Cuts, and his own co-run label NC4K.

The producer, DJ and label owner has always worn his UK dance music influences proudly on his sleeve, and his latest outing on the Ton Tan EP continues in much the same vein, with three new originals incorporating breakbeat house, UK funky-influenced percussion, and proto-dubstep wobbles.

Closing out the release is Tim Reaper, one of the vanguard of the jungle revival, on the remix for the EP’s title track - an all-out assault of hoovers and upfront breaks.

Out April 21st:

@syzuk self-released his Mindforms mini-LP in 2020, stepping away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one'.

The original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes. Syz reworks ‘1E’ in his own inimitable style for his ‘2Es VIP'.

Label boss Bluetoof returns for his second contribution to the INFA series 
the third release on the label. the e.p titled "diggin a hole" explores the sonic identity of 2 found artefacts, pictured in the artwork. 

the title track "Diggin a hole" starts slowly setting the scene for the rest of the project, building atmosphere, with dubbed out percs and spaced out foley, echoing a feeling of tension and unease until advancing into the next stage of the "dig"progressively through the track a mind warping arpeggio leads the track into the final percussive advance. 

the second track "the hole got deeper" mimics a lot of structural elements of the A side, peppered with heavier drumming building constantly throughout, crescendoing into a synth line that becomes almost completely silent, before a dubbed out siren opens the main drop, a hollowed bass melody carries the track through to an optimistic ending and change in mood symbolising the discovery of the pictured artefacts. 

the final track of the release "cavernous" is a sonic representations of the environment the found artefacts occupied in the time they where made, an eery call echoes at the start of the track, with an advancing synth line leading the percussion forward giving the sense of a hunt taking place. the eery dubbed call continues to be repeated through the track with the constantly evolving percussion paired with the footstep like kick drum patterns, reinforcing the feeling of being chased or escaping something. 
the track intensifies as the melodic percussion rushes to a drum heavy summit.

INFA003 BLUETOOF "DIGGIN A HOLE" CLIPS

hree years after their first collaboration, culminating in the release of “The Passenger”, Om Unit and Martyn are back on 3024 with another four track exploration of tempo and vibrations on a new EP called “AJ^6”.

The two ‘veteran’ producers have been highly prolific over the past years, with Om Unit making waves with his massive Acid Dub Studies project as well as new work under his Philip D. Kick alias, and Martyn spearheading and mentoring a robust group of new musicians responsible for no less than five (!) compilations on 3024. What brings the two producers together in the studio once again is the constant hunger for new and interesting sounds on the outer rim of the ‘bass continuum’. Instead of tirelessly rehashing old tropes they are continuously inspired to write new music that’s both current as well as firmly in their aesthetic profile.

‘Basilisk’ and ‘The Trenches’ are great examples of the duo blending odd tempos with dub wise heaviness. ‘Basilisk’ has already been doing some serious damage on the dance floor with its punchy 107 beat structure and headzy breakdown, while the almost imperial march of ‘The Trenches’ introduces a bubbly bass line. ‘Illroy’ and ‘Dragonfly’ both inhabit a dreamier, more melodic universe and have a timeless, ambivalent quality to them, somewhere between a lost b-side of an early 00s Hospital Records release and something on Scuffed. Enjoy!
