Bristol-based producer QGB returns their second album ‘A RECKONING’ out on the 8th April via their PRESENT TENSE imprint. The album was recorded over a three year period, with another year to get it together to release it. 

As mentioned to Accidental Meetings recently, GQB said of the album, “it’s aggy and a bit broken but I hope there’s also grooves and danceable sections in there and it’s not all heady self indulgent nonsense. I guess each track was its own little process but a lot of what inspired me at the time was working with more generative techniques, basic chance/randomness not wanting it to be academic and dry but making it feel a bit alive and unpredictable.”

This is their first release on the label since 2018’s release of ‘Hornet’ - a record which was supported by the likes of Truants, Call Super, and Resident Advisor to name a few. Slowly becoming a go-to producer for your favourite DJs, we’re super excited to share one of, ‘PIGS’ from the album - one of the most in-your-face, all encompassing tracks on there.

Embodying the mutant nature of club music in the modern age, Cocktail Party Effect comes bowling into Sneaker Social Club with a taut, wiry sound which joins dots and melts barriers at will. 

The brainchild of Charlie Baldwin, who previously recorded as Kasket, Cocktail Party Effect has been forged over the past six years through heavy bursts of sound design anchored by soundsystem dynamics veering between 140 and 160 tempo zones. From 2020’s self-titled LP on Tectonic to drops on Osiris, Cold, Transfigured Time and more, Baldwin’s deftly avoided allegiance to any specific scene and instead deployed shock-inducing gear for DJs with fortitude to test on their crowds. 

On SNKRX010 the commitment to physicality is prevalent across all four tracks, veering from the deadly broken beat barbs and artful fills of ‘Racka’ to the splintered breakbeat rushes and stop-start aggravation of ‘C.A.T.C.R’. ‘Grims8’ is perhaps the purest manifestation of the Cocktail Party sound though, all monochrome rigour with the contrast turned way up, powered by steely, gleaming rhythmic impulses and writhing with dense layers of sonic matter. Watch out for the glutinous bass snarl of ‘58bethe7’ though, which slams in sideways with an unabashed rave instinct crushed through a post-modern production lens. 

Baldwin may be operating on his own terms, but on this 12” he demonstrates versatility to match his originality, resulting in four inventive dance destroyers tooled to bridge between styles, sets and scenes.

Premiering "Suspire" by Laenz taken from "Undue Valence" out on August 5th via Early Reflex
Bandcamp: https://earlyreflex.bandcamp.com/album/undue-valence

For EYX008 Early Reflex introduces Brooklyn (NY) based artist, producer and DJ Laenz debuting on the label with the eerie sonic world from her new EP ‘Undue Valence’.
Laenz has an approach to production that is closer to a surveyor of textures and oddities, processing observations informed by the complexities of evolving and eroding infrastructures as well as any corresponding personal entanglements.
Inspired by the physical and intangible infrastructure underlying within the experienceable world, the release results in a five-tracker where the American producer translates these patterns into an unprecedented kaleidoscopic sonic model.
The EP shakes the listeners from its beginning, kicking off with the hooking bass melody, the atmospherical pads and unpredictable drums of Being Into Nothingness.
A distant lamenting call signals the start of Suspire, characterised by clashing metalling percussions and an incessant downtempo drum programming.
Leopard Gate, anticipated by eerie pad sounds, blends together sweeping laser synthesisers, distorted vocals, a catchy guitar riff all over a head nodding beat.
The tension rises in Wetware, an explosive laboratory experiment of field recordings, broken glasses and a hypnotic rhythmic session.
Title-track Undue Valence, is an unconventional dance tool which brings together all the infrastructure elements into a formula akin to club music.

Premiering "Sing Gaily" by Tooth Rust taken from "Glut" EP out on September 2nd via Early Reflex

Buy: https://earlyreflex.bandcamp.com/album/glut

Alternated rhythmics and melodic synthesizer mix together in ‘Sing Gaily’, the closing track of the EP, where the producer brings together all the core elements characterizing her recent work into a melancholic downtempo outro.

The producer from London debuts on Early Reflex with the experimental downtempo three-tracker ‘Glut’, which blends both organic matter and artificial elements yet thinking about the club.

Tooth Rust said:
“Glut is an attempt to shove organic matter into a grid and introduce it to artificial and synthetic friends, with the hope that they will dance together.”
