Lyrics:
Attends Attends, C'est Gênant
[Intro]
Yeah…
Dans la city y’a l’vent froid qui gratte les murs…
Mais moi j’avance…
Toujours sur mon poney, frère.
L’imprimante tourne, thé à la menthe sur le comptoir,
J’pense à demain, à hier, à tout c’que j’voudrais revoir.
Lait d’amande dans le café, j’me soigne comme je peux,
La flemme me guette, mais j’lui ferme la porte des yeux.
Tu cherches trop loin quand la réponse est dans la ruelle,
Dans la lumière des lampadaires, sous la bruine éternelle.
Ici le temps s’arrête, mais les rêves courent en survêt’
Et la street te teste toujours, elle prend jamais la trêve.
[Refrain]
J’galope dans la ville sur mon poney en freestyle,
Le béton est froid mais j’pose la chaleur sur les tiles.
TikTok m’regarde, la rue m’a pris comme un fils,
Rien ne cloche, j’trace ma route même quand tout glisse.
[Couplet 2]
Le père et le fils marchent dans la nuit sans un mot,
Tu sens l’histoire dans leurs pas, y’a du vrai, du costaud.
Ici les cœurs sont fatigués mais restent debout,
Même quand la vie tape fort, ils lâchent jamais le verrou.
J’porte mes histoires sur les épaules comme un hoodie,
Mais j’garde l’œil ouvert, même quand la nuit s’épaissit.
Dans l’quartier y’a des rêves coincés dans les fenêtres
Alors j’rappe pour leur donner un peu d’air à remettre.
[Refrain]
J’galope dans la ville sur mon poney en freestyle,
J’ramène un peu de lumière dans un décor hostile.
Pas d’bling-bling, pas d’armes, juste ma voix qui glisse,
Dans la ville qui dort, mais qu’un battement réveille vite.
[Pont]
On veut respirer, sortir du gris sans faire de mal,
J’fais tourner la joie dans les halls, dans les escaliers sales.
Le monde tourne à l’envers mais j’lâche pas l’équilibre,
Même ghetto, même sombre, on peut rester libre.
[Outro]
Yeah…
Sur mon poney dans la city…
C’est pas l’conte de fées, c’est juste la vérité.
Mais j’avance… encore.

The Lobster Liverpool wonder Stu Robinson aka ASOK comes flaming back onto the white label series. Out of the Greggs oven and into the fiyah!

On four pastie-flaked tracks we're slowly enveloped in waves of euphoric pad work, cut-up ratcheting UK breakbeat, furiously choppy rhythms, melodic and winding arpeggios, and texturally complex ambient drones. Stu back in the driving seat and taking us on a trip back through the 90's. 'BBC 2 darts at midnight'-level weaponry!

Pre-0rder - https://pressuredome.bandcamp.com/album/pdcomp001

The Pressure Dome crew are back in full force with something fresh out of the lab. A cold fusion of other-wordly rhythm and pulsation, a blueprint of Bristol's sonic underground and its uncharted voices of vibration.

From chuggy dancehall rhythm and energetic breaks, to intricate, atmospheric techno, electro and grime, these fifteen broken-beat builders take us on on a journey through crafted cadence and dynamic metronomy.

Wanting to give back to the city we live in and one that inspires so much creativity in those fortunate enough to access opportunity, all proceeds from PDCOMP001 will go to Caring in Bristol, a homeless charity providing services and shelter for those most in need.

Orbit EP

PREMIERE: Elisa Bee - Rave 90 (Balkan Digital)

Solidifying a productive year with dozens of releases, the Droid aka Ben Evans, marks his Woodwork debut with a power packed EP of intriguing electro tracks, delivering monstrous remixes alongside.

Opening with 'paranoia', the Droid's style immediately becomes apparent in its minimalist sonic landscape. Framed in classic 808 rhythms, Evans hits a quirky, abstract nerve with aggressive bass hits and resonant LFO synth tweakery. A solid mix layer, serving as a constant energetic ride.

The title cut, 'rewire the system' offers up the same punchy beat foundation and gets a little deeper, with breaks trading off against four-to-the-floor. The retro flavour of the pads and cosmic flow of various swells, miniature funky bass lines and anguished robo-vocalizations perhaps portray a machine striving toward a more human experience.

Mr. Gentle steps up for the first altered version and gets straight into dramatic sci-fi territory while maintaining the original spaciousness of the Droid approach. He succeeds in taking the beats to an alternate energy level while implementing some ominous breakdowns and infectious acid work to further the plot line of the track.

We are in for a noticeably trippy excursion as Francois Dillinger takes the helm. The 808 feel is drastically withdrawn and chill, with a rolling, funky resolve that perfectly sets up the smoky tapestry of psychedelia over top. The bass and atmospherics are drawn out to an expansive harmonic rhythm somewhere between deeply groovy and completely zoned-out.

The Droid meets Pablo Splice for 'beat the machine'. The two combine opposing aesthetics to craft a unique hybrid contraption from spare parts. The Droid's cycling repetition and minimalist sound design are on lock over his familiar 808 stylings. Pablo Splice counters this with a characteristic, snaky, atonal stab melody underpinned by a complimentary mid-range bass line, with both elements achieving a brash, down-sampled, digital edge.

Lloyd Stellar crafts an impressive thematic rework of 'beat the machine' that features a relentless upbeat swagger - a proper battle workout for the floor. Expanded sonic movement in the bass, twisted harmonic pad variations, tough and punchy blips, urgent vocoder verses, and a massive anthemic section of rave hits, keep this catchy remix moving through exciting revelations from start to finish.

The Droid saves a profound statement for the end with his 'amen experiment'. This unique track recalls a laid back 808 feel, similar to the previous Francois Dilinger workout, but then treats this to subtle ambient chord shifts behind some carefully layered breakbeats. These elements clash and combine wonderfully, ending this EP in an absorbed but lucid mood.
