@meinmono intense and finesse mate! 👏💣

Prolific Japanese producer T5UMUT5UMU has built up a reputation in the last few years for his ability not just to recreate club styles but to flip them into almost unrecognizable dancefloor hybrids. "Sea of Trees" follows a blistering run of Bandcamp releases where T5UMUT5UMU has melted together gqom and techno, deconstructed grime and welded dubstep to traditional music from Japan and India. Here, he's operating completely off the grid, pulling raw materials from across the globe and hammering them into confounding shapes and patterns.

On its surface, 'Fireball' sounds like a liquid metal approximation of South African gqom, but move in closer and you can make out dubstep bass squelches, trap hats, and industrial techno jet propulsion filling in the gaps with rubberized mortar. 'Desert' is the EP's most lightheaded cut, a psychedelic percussive spiral that curves micro-tuned mbira clangs around bee sting bass, aerated noise blasts and sub-aqueous kicks. It's a hard track to place, but fits in somewhere between Donato Dozzy, Menzi and 33EMYBW, all shifting rhythms and precision-edited sound design.

'Sea of Trees' retains this momentum, pushing the tempo and interspersing woodblock vibrations with syncopated bass drums and goosebump-inducing synths, while closer 'Bottomless Valley' shifts back into a gqom framework, shuffling the expected pulse with a powerful dembow swing, half step subs and Indian-inspired rattles. "Asyl" is a varied but shockingly coherent statement from an enigmatic producer who refuses to confine himself to a single path, and at a time when "cross-genre" is the norm rather than the exception, it's refreshing to witness a producer who's unafraid to truly make stylistic left-turns, rather than simply mash together top-level aesthetics.

Cocktail Party Effect starts 2023 with his debut release on Nervous Horizon: ‘Fixing The Roof EP’.

The South London via Berlin artist known for his jaw dropping releases on Tectonic Recordings delivers 5 solid cuts all with their unique style. Made with a bunch of battered vintage hardware: in particular 90s samplers, synths, filters and distortion units paired with the latest computer software, this project really pushes the sound palette beyond conventional club music. 

The opening track Fixing The Roof feels like a classic Nervous Horizon track from the time the label first started gaining traction. Safety Button is the bass heavy - dance floor pounder of the lot, a must in every set! 767 enters the “jungle experimentation” realm reminiscent of early Paradox (DnB producer Dev Pandya). Gecko Slide & The Police Took My Garden Away present copious amounts of analog distortion and explosive drum patterns that are really at the heart of the Cocktail Party Effect modus operandi.

Me In Mono - Reflections
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM104
Format: Digital
Release: July 7th, 2023

Me In Mono has been making music under various guises for 15 years, and during that journey through sonic landscapes one thing has been a constant feature: raw energy. Coupled with a taste for the peculiar, it’s no surprise that he finds himself most at home in the darker, dingier parts of the dancefloor.

An homage of sorts to the music that led him to produce in the first place, this collection of tracks explores the beauty in the weird, and the starkness in simplicity. Created for optimal energy, percussive elements and de-tuned synth's feature heavily, underpinned by subs that help to make the tracks ready to take on the most hardened dancefloor audiences.

The music itself is relentless and loopy. While the sound design is futuristic, in structure the tracks are more progressive, content to fully explore a certain space before moving on, wringing every possible nuance from each groove. The melodies for the most part aim to generate tension, in insistent sixteenth notes that detune gradually, until we reach ‘Roo’, where some respite is provided by a sensitive Rhodes. Closer ‘Stop Harping On’ goes further into melodic explorations, featuring hyperreal scalar runs that could have come from Ferraro’s Far Side Virtual.

@prestigepakuk donny and @all-centre-504822953 debutant Architect steps out with a one-two punch of drum-fuelled pressure. 

‘Italian Drop’ finds Architect at his deadliest. A landmark 50th release for the London label, the NTS resident maintains a low tempo while flexing percussive knowhow over two tracks that nod to hip hop, grime and dembow dancehall styles. 

Our premiere somewhat picks up the pace. Stepping on the gas a bit, ‘Drip Dilemma’ deploys vocal chops and field recordings of revving engines around a taut, seismic rhythm.

‘Italian Drop’ is out July 21st on All Centre.

Another project file lost in the digital ocean. This one is a long-form, psychosomatic, pulsating journey into introspective, rolling rhythm. Heads down for this one.

polite rudboi (2nd single from my upcoming album)

The lead track from @letsgomaroki second EP for @ano_ano pivots around a melodic acid line which slowly ebbs and flows throughout the track. It’s the anchor point for ethereal vocal sweeps and finely sculpted rhythms building to an emotive peak that proves rush-inducing, big room rave can be tender, too.
