London-based producer, DJ and writer Dome Zero gives us a signal on this rowdy dub anthem, ‘Chewing The Scenery’, who makes his debut on South London’s All Centre label - also his first solo release. The track finishes with an unexpected turn, showcasing Dome Zero’s playfulness and disorienting take on bass-driven productions. 

Dome Zero has previously contributed tracks on labels such as Accidental Meetings, Shubzin, Das Booty and more. He also runs the monthly radio show Tinned Heat on Soho Radio where guests have included Jana Rush, Tim Reaper, Comic Sans Records, Diessa, Angel D’lite and more.

Chewing The Scenery

Premiere: Dome Zero - Chewing The Scenery (All Centre)

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.

“Seven tracks of primitive-futuristic percussive imbued with grotesque noise and whirling voices debut from BHKT.”

"Retaww" refers to BHKT's hunting and gathering era. An album that propels us into a vast land of chaos, brutality, ecstatic and blunt. It's obvious how BHKT pushes the boundaries of structure in his music, challenging the listener to think freely.

@qeeiqeei - Luminous
CAT#: IM102
Format: Digital
Release: April 14th, 2023
Artwork by Bungalovv
Mixed by Ro Stambuk & Tatiana Heuman
Mastered by Fausto Mercier

Luminous is the new EP by Tatiana Heuman. This record is a resignification of her nomadic condition and the exploration of what it means to belong to a place called home. It represents the long search for an ideal, luminous space that she can call her own.

Having taken the title of her previous release as her own artist name, she seems to be telling us she has now fully embodied her music, living comfortably in it until she and it are indistinguishable. The new resulting work confirms this. 
Where QEEI the record felt experimental and even tentative, Luminous by QEEI the artist feels self-assured and definite. Structures were restless and meandering, at certain moments they edged toward pop; now they’ve been (mostly) streamlined in favor of club propulsion, with a newfound patience to explore the full potential of every section. 

Where voice was previously at the forefront it has now (mostly) been mangled into submission and made to blend into a more forceful sounding whole. The percussion, which was timid and darting before, has (mostly) also been put to the service of Groove, often locking into dense, forward-moving patterns that are sure to be effective on dancefloor bodies. 

“Mostly”, because Luminous is not without its tender moments, namely the stunning sister pieces ‘Alarma 1’ and ‘Alarma 2’. Here, the muscular percussion drops out and the voice returns as the main character for two beautiful, haunting interludes. 
While still on a search for a base, a physical terrain with which to identify, her progression as an artist tells us that she is firmly on her way to making a luminous shelter out of her music.

@renslink - !85 EP
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM103
Format: Digital
Release: May 26th, 2023
Mastered by Fausto Mercier
Artwork by Luis Tomita

UK producer Renslink calls IM103 his first effort focused on the dancefloor, but it belies a lifetime steeped in it. This is prime material for the most advanced of DJs.

The first cut, Static, blends heavy, droning atmospheric sound design with the half-time template of dubstep, complete with jungle vocals. Before reaching the first half, however, it goes into a healthy techno gallop, making the track a perfect set opener if drama is your thing.

From that we go into the three-on-two mindbend of In My Mind, full of beautiful rhythmic trickery and rave culture nods in the sampled female vocals.

Cenotaph feels like a Pinch & Mumdance dub that they kept for themselves around the Control/Strobelight era, all rolling, persistent kick, dubbed-out dready vocals and dystopian hoover.

In Touching The Void we find a moment of drama and relative tenderness, as cinematic strings and choir soar over a busy rolling breakbeat. Occasionally, the proceedings are punctuated by a reese bass and bleeps fill that keep it fresh (an you on your toes).

Closer Silence is a mutant dembow wobbler with alien vocals by Nivalis, like dancehall for after the nuclear apocalypse, when we’ll have all the extra limbs we’ll need to dance to music like this.

Absence of Facts label head Orion returns to his own imprint, delivering a potent three-track statement of raw, hypnotic techno.

Opener ‘Late Arrival’ builds a pressurized atmosphere, driven by a deep, pulsing rhythm and a stripped-down aesthetic. The EP continues with ‘Verentia,’ which pushes further into immersive sound design, weaving a web of psychedelic textures and hypnotic patterns. Closing the release, ‘Comatose’ lives up to its name with a heavy, relentless groove. Its broken-beat character and somatic low-end make it a formidable tool for the deepest hours of the night.
