Love From Above

Microbead

Taken from the 'Drums From The West' EP on Livity Sound.

The next drop on Livity Sound is the first collaboration from long-time label mainstays Hodge and Simo Cell. True to the styles the artists have individually marked out since first appearing on Livity Sound circa 2014-15, LIVITY050 presents fiercely imaginative, upfront club music across a spectrum of tempos. 

The supple, fluid approach to electronic music the two producers are separately known for feeds into a cohesive partnership, whether they’re turning their hand to dancehall-inspired, sub-100BPM heavy hitters or jagged, technicolour half-step tapestries.

Released 26 Nov 2021.

Drums From The West EP

Medusa

Hodge & Simo Cell - Medusa

You might find that the piano playing at the beginning seems a little out of tune - that’s because I’m
not using the standard western scale known as equal temperament. I’ve actually tuned the piano in
line with the alp horn, the national musical instrument of Switzerland. It’s a really long (like, several
metre-long) horn with no holes in the sides so it actually plays in a natural harmonic overtone series,
so I think it gives the piano a beautiful clear resonance as well as (to western ears) a sort of gentle
wooziness. The rhythmic elements of the track are inspired pretty much directly by the original, just
translated into a quicker tempo with some added sound design. I’m really interested to hear what

people think!

Wordcolour - Bluster (Djrum Remix)

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-nativ-brittle

@noire-state next release is packed with an assortment of bass-boosted heaters: three originals and an equal number of remixes. Our pick ‘Brittle’ is a skeletal construction, but one that’s similarly potent.

Penumbra

Nativ - Brittle [Noire State]

Following a digital art renaissance, deconstructed-club tape on Lobster Theremin earlier in the year, and following their debut Berghain performance and Rinse FM Culture vs Reality residency, Overthinker Mob founder Bloomfeld readies six cuts of heavy-duty science techno and grime-laced fuck-step on Breaks N Pieces.

Whilst the Berlin based producers full length dealt with themes of live-action roleplay and anti-ego aesthetics, Probe Report 1 keeps its aim firmly fixated on the club experience. ‘Countdown Now’ is a mutated sequence of broken UK techno; wobbling, bleeping and wubbing its way through off-kilter percussion, icey synths and brooding bass. ‘U Damaged’ makes use of half-time percussive patterns and distorted bass on something that sits between dubstep and North African techno.

‘Window Matrix’ sounds not unlike the sounds emerging from Woozy Soundsystem in Dublin – again striking a delicate balance between 140BPM sound and future-facing techno – before we enter 140 territory entirely with a frightening soundboy grime-dub hybrid.

‘Phonk Off’ brings the tempo down a notch but maintains the high levels of energy thanks to its Pulse X-esque bass stabs and Walton-like textures, before the experimental music-box grime rhythms of ‘Glockk’ brings Bloomfeld’s melting and distinct experience to a close.

BRKN022 // Bloomfeld - Probe Report #1

Taken from "Everything Merged Vol. 1", a brand new compilation featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.


Everything Merged Vol 1

‘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 from 2021, and 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. 1” features the awesome music of a group of 3024 alumni from across the globe, interpreting the post-pandemic phase of electronic music each in their individual ways. There are the contemporary percussive meditations of Adam 2, Solair, Klont and Brooklynite No Sir, the 90s garage and rave inspired music of Karis, Agôn, Slovenia’s Hatterri and Noise Casino from Colombia. The exuberant technicolorist bangers of Guava, Blu-e and Cress and the deep hypnotic explorations of India’s Chhabb, MarceauxMarceaux and The Exhausted.

From the fertile ground that gave us X-Kalay comes a new initiative. Christened "Another Place", the inaugural release, courtesy of London’s Ocean Stirs (aka Tom Jarmey), sets the label’s stall out with a glorious volley of lush breakbeat ballistics. Future Retro founder Tim Reaper assumes remix duties, bringing a hefty dose of jungle acceleration 🔥

ANP001 | Ocean Stirs - Luminescent (incl. Tim Reaper Remix)

There were sirens echoing in the streets, it was cold out on the corner. The darkness of the winter months was oppressive and at times overbearing but it did bring with it opportunity.

Every night they gathered beneath the glow of the streetlight, it was important to show a signal, a sign of life to those who watched on from above.

The cameras were everywhere, picking apart the very fragments of society with a dystopian lens and a pixelated vision.

They remained out there though, in the city, in the streets of a time not far from now.

Plus One digs deep for an earthy, heads down EP on First Second Label. This one is the perfect soundtrack for a lonely late night bus ride, the hazy fog of a city morning and the atmospheric hum of a concrete jungle.

Catch Plus One in Dublin at a special label showcase tomorrow.

PREMIERE: Plus One - We Out Here [First Second Label]

Kouslin returns to Livity Sound with a second collection of slippery club tracks after the 2020 Vision E.P. With an emphasis on head-twisting sound design and a detailed line in percussive programming, the London-based producer continues to reach into intriguing new areas without forsaking soundsystem-ready physicality.  

The tracks which make up the Patterns E.P. stemmed from a period of personal experimentation, where Kouslin returned to making music for its therapeutic benefits rather than a fixed purpose. The loops and sketches he returned to and expanded upon for this EP bristle with originality at every turn. 

There is a continued exploration of dancehall rhythms on ‘King’, while ‘Five Four’ toys with time signatures for a jagged, fast-paced abstraction of techno. ‘Why Don’t You Don’t’ is harder to pin down thanks to its knotty beat and mutant synthesis, and ‘Michael’ flips the script further with an unexpected swerve into pearlescent melodic lead lines – the perfect demonstration of the honest and instinctive approach Kouslin took when making these tracks.
