Over the last six years, Worst Behavior Recs has been championing the most exciting producers coming out of the bass underground around the world. Worst Behavior, Vol. 4 is the final installment of our Worst Behavior compilation series and it’s truly a global affair, uniting producers from Amman, Moscow, Bristol, NYC, Los Angeles, Austin, and beyond over 16 tracks that show the excitement and kinetic energy of soundsystem music and culture. 160 bpm heaters have been our hallmark, and this compilation definitely delivers on that front, but also includes a wider range of sounds, speeds, and genres than ever before.

Forward-thinking, high-quality, and fun, these tracks connect the dots between the bass-loving underground worldwide. Lock in!

Worst Behavior, Vol. 4

Kindergarten Records readies a new V/A compilation with Fluo III - a three-tracker that injects ongoing futuristic dancefloor forays accompanied by kaleidoscopic club sounds. 

Two brand-new voices make their debut on the label, as New York-based artists Palitra and Martini make their presence felt alongside a solo track from label founder Ma Sha.

Palitra leads off Fluo III with “Cold Shoulder”, a methodically bass-churner that invokes a time-warp tunnel between early 2000s sound design up until now. Palitra’s globe-spanning upbringing shaped his influences and experiences - originally from Kyiv and then moving to the
mountainous ranges of Virginia, the constant shifts between time, space and pace developed into distinct sonic sensibilities upon his move to New York. 

From Palitra himself: “Around that time, besides the obvious reference to Source Direct, I was also discovering mid 2000s drumfunk and listening to records from labels like Scientific Wax and Inperspective. The lean, vascular sound and rhythmic structures of the hits of that era inspired the idea behind Cold Shoulder."

pi pi pi premiere: Palitra - Cold Shoulder (Kindergarten Records)

With summer and festival season in full swing, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for us to release the third installment of our ‘Club Drums’ series packed full of dancefloor-wrecking heaters, provided by an eclectic roster of international producers.

Kicking things off is Leed’s own Yilan, previously seen on Grid, Infinite Machine and Earth Movement, he opens the release with a slow yet stomping riddim, with flurries or darbukas banging on your eardrums. 

Hailing from New York, Sister Zo follows up after her banging EPs on Scuffed Recs and 3024 with a deep and hard hitting roller that’s guaranteed to make you move. 

Following up is Rinse France resident, producer and vocalist NOIRE, delivering a menacing and gloomy 4x4 banger. 

Egregore member and release co-curator Kaval comes in next with his trademark ‘FR Funky’ sound everybody is now very familiar with. 

With previous releases on Berlin’s infamous Tresor and All Centre, Zambia’s finest SHE Spells Doom also joins the roster. 

Rounding up this amazing selection of producers is Kindergarten Records’ Despina, ending this musical onslaught with a wonky, breakbeat-infused dancefloor weapon.

@WorstBehaviorRecs release the final volume, Worst Behavior, Vol. 4 on August 18th. 
Future sound system music, let's go. We're premiering the juke/jungle fusion of @AddisonGroove 's 160 Cowbells

In Addison Groove's wild domain,
160 Cowbells played, insane.
On Worst Behavior, they did prance,
Dinging and donging in a merry dance.

No rhyme or reason, just a crazy clatter,
Cowbells ringing, what's the matter?
A musical riot, a topsy-turvy show,
Their melodies went to and fro.

In jumbled tunes and disarray,
They ruled the night and ruled the day.
Addison's streets filled with the sound,
Cowbells echoing all around.

So if you visit that mystical land,
Embrace the chaos, take a hand.
Join the madness, don't be shy,
In Addison Groove, let nonsense fly!

Curated by Anna Morgan and Bell Curve, the compilation boasts 16 tracks of forward thinking bass and breaks from all over this globe Since its inception in 2017, Worst Behavior Recs has championed the bass underground, with this worldwide instalment they unite producers of hard-hitting snaking techstep, R&B-meets-rave and dreamier vibes to boot.

Ma Sha - Elastik EP

Release date: 27 October 2023
https://ma-sha.bandcamp.com/album/elastik-ep

Nervous Horizon is delighted to welcome New York-based producer and DJ Ma Sha to the roster with a high-voltage three-track EP titled "Elastik".

For her Nervous Horizon debut, the Kindergarten' honcho immerses herself in a solitary sonic journey drawing inspiration from the concept of self-isolation-induced time distortion and the interplay of the diverse rhythms intertwining in her environment. From the quick motion of people outside her Ridgewood apartment juxtaposed with the slow, fluid movements of her indoor plants, to the intense traffic on Myrtle Ave contrasting the flowing red light shadows on her studio walls, Ma Sha blends warped reality and sound exploration forming the perfect collage.

Shaping her distinct solo sound with a focus on finding a balance between her critical thinking and intuition, each track resonates with different emotional states. By aligning heavily time-stretched elements with chopping and granulation techniques, Ma Sha skillfully incorporates the altered time concept within the tracks' structure. If "KV December" mirrors unpredictable emotional fluctuations, in both "Myrtle Warp" and "Psyspi" vocal textures' shifts and layered synths co-exist with bold and sharp percussion. Accompanied by a fresh take by Ehua on one of the originals, the EP unravels around a warped perception of time while consistently maintaining the playful atmosphere that defines Ma Sha's personality and the music that truly inspires her.

Ma Sha - KV December

Woozy delivers its most ambitious statement yet in WZY3.5; a bumper-packed compilation that features ten talented artists from across the globe who are championed by the label’s founder EMA for their exhilarating cross sections of dub-futurist club sounds.

MSJY commences the dance, wrapping some deft breaks around a steamy reggaeton shell. Viiaan douses the loose dembow groove with a hypnagogic mood and chuggy bassline. Dåser maps out an itchy labyrinth of percussive electro that relentlessly mutates. Mossambi unfurls a futurist digi stepper brimming with excitable technoid energy. Octoptic indulges late 00’s dark 2-step but updated with remarkably modern sound design. Elpac and Mulholland combine to burn twisted breaks within an all-consuming rave menace. Baitface provides us with a loving throwback, an unreleased gem from 2012 fit with dub momentum and snappy snares for the headbangerz. Henzo flicks the hood up and gets nasty for a dialed-up skankstep wonder. Soreab opens his third eye with a haunted drumtastic half time chug. soltura sees us out with an icey wub finale of stirring synth-etic emotions amidst a melodic wonderland of sound.
