Full Discography

Houndstooth: Patterns

"French musicians Alban Mercier(Officium) and Eric Desjeux (Tzii) team up after years of friendship for a 9-tracks collaborative album that will be out on OKVLT. The duo’s first recording attempt is a highly evocative and melancholic album based on the pair personal archives, techniques and souvenirs. A collection of twisted voices, haunting synths and percussions combining Tzii’s composition skills with Officium’s field recordings, chant and bleak approch of sound.
“WATCHING MYSELF FORGET WITH NO RESISTANCE” is an intimate research on perception, memory and inward visions : sometimes violent, yet poetic and definitely elegiacal. "
Full streaming of Officium's track "Grey Blue Eyes". A tide of ethereal melodies and percussion instruments in a field recording backround, while the hollow bass kicks in, transforming everything to a slowburn beat with synth flexions and sliced and floating distorted sounds.

London-based artist @Wordcolour returns to Houndstooth with a new single ‘Bluster’

Support the artist: https://hth.lnk.to/bluster

In Wordcolour’s own words, "all the way back in January 2021, when the UK was entering its second national lockdown, I set myself the task of trying to write a club track. I wanted to avoid the lockdown temptation to write melancholic, dreamy dance music, and so found myself trying to remember what the club sounded and felt like at a time when raving was a distant memory.

The result, Bluster, continues some of the club experiments I began on my first EP "Tell Me Something", but with a beefed-up heavier sound aimed at slow, chunky techno sets. Like that first record, this track has a sense of humour - constantly cutting in playful bits of vocal and drum detail. Both the title and the artwork imply an undue swagger - a sense of winging it through changeable unpredictable weather conditions: a combination that, for me, sums up the feel of this track as well as the circumstances in which it was made."

We are excited to introduce you to London-based producer On Man, a musician whose previous collaborations include Giggs, Darq E Freaker, Zebra Katz and Mr Hudson amongst others.

Squares and Triangles features fellow London-based rapper F-M-M-F alongside this video directed by Ian Roderick Gray (The Banksy Job).


“Squares and Triangles was a turning point for the project - the first track I finished where I felt like things were heading in the right direction. F-M-M-F’s fantastic vocals hooked me straight away. They read almost like a film, exploring the tension of a doomed relationship when incompatible edges collide, crack and crumble amongst the lies.”


On Man’s creative roots lie deep. An artist with a unique gift for sound design, he’s able to conjure perfect pop songs and then corrode them, revealing the emotional truths underneath. An electronic artist with a human touch, he’s worked in the studio for an array of other artists, as well as delivering huge cinematic soundtrack projects, all while pursuing his own solitary agenda. "Squares and Triangles" marks the first step of this personal journey and more will follow later this year.


Lyrics:

You said it from the start
We’re more than a mile apart
Call me animal
Still looking for Noah’s ark
Call me a cannibal
Then I left a hole in your heart
Hole in your heart when I
Left my phone in your car
You’re like a loan shark
Once you let go of the past
I swear it’s been about a year
Guess my roly’s fast
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little dick is 
Gonna make her smile
Now it’s just me myself
And the only eye
Got my head doing circles
I guess it’s only pi
No apology from here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle?

You drive me round the bend whether
Automatic or manual
Upside down my
World’s feeling satanical
Text messages
Scriptures and parables
So many hate your
Shit is getting casual
Not to call you liar
I’m the person that fired you
Man slaughter killed it
But I was trying to 
Heartbreak will send a woman wild
And now some little mug is 
Gonna make her smile
Overreacting like there ain’t other guys
That lost their composure and told
A couple of lies
No apologies here
Coz I ain’t liable
How could you go and find a square
And make a triangle

Tapefeed, the Italian duo that holds a residency at our iconic London night club fabric, join us here at Houndstooth with Anterograde, their debut release on the label with a five track techno / experimental EP due out December 2nd.

Travelling through UK breaks touching on dub, deep experimental and techno, their inspiration roots in the types of sets they have been consistently laying down at fabric.

Together with an accumulation of releases on labels Mord, Metempsychosis and Abyss, in 2021 Tapefeed launched their imprint “Inveterate” to focus on the duo’s vision.

Following notable releases on Editions Mego as Electronic music duo LCC, and multiple singles and collaborations on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People label and Modern Obscure Music, experimental electronic artist Ana Quiroga (@ana_quiroga) announces her debut album Azabache for release on 8th September via Houndstooth. Ana also shares the first single from the project ‘Wallada’ which is available now to buy digitally and stream.

A personal odyssey, shaped by Ana’s deep connection to her homeland Asturias and her experience since moving to London, underpins Azabache. From the rich Celtic heritage of Asturias – the mines, minerals, and mystical feminine energy – to the urban occultism of their now-home London and the enchanting streets of Hackney and the East End, Azabache embodies the connection between deep and highly symbolic ancestral roots and these contemporary new beginnings.


Written, composed, produced and pre-mixed by Ana Quiroga Olavarrieta / Mixed by Paul Corley / Mastered & cut by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London

Wallada: Bass guitar by Chris Norrish. Additional vocals by Catalina Barceló

Inner City Light: Written in collaboration with Gorka Molero. Bass and backing vocals by Gorka Molero

Devon Rexi return with Mini-LP “Biya Ba Man”, a new and improved take on the no wave steppers and post punk grooves of their debut “Tambal EP”.

The five track Mini-LP sees the band expand to a quintet, with originators Nic Mauskovic (drums and vocals) and Nushin Naini (bass and vocals) joined by Tobias Jansen on turntables, Lyckle de Jong on synths and effects and Goya van der Heyden on percussion.

The extra players collaborate to send Devon Rexi’s sound in new directions, amplifying the already extra-dimensional vibe. Synths and vinyl manipulation render a trip hop vibe to the post punk brew, reminding of zoned-out jams like Maxinquaye, or those heady early Mo’Wax.

Opening track “Sjikamo” sets the tone at a deconstructed hip hop tempo, samples spliced up like a classic Celluloid album. “Fargh Nimikoone” ups the pace with a funky 135 bpm lean, and Nushin’s harmonized vocal sounding ever more alien over the conga rhythm. “Marde Pir” closes the first side at another beatdown tempo, the drums flexing like factory pistons. 

The B side fires up with “Biya Ba Man Biya” - a proper steppers bounce, Nushin’s farsi singalong chorus is as catchy as it’s ever been. The Mini-LP concludes with “Koja Raftan” bringing plenty of Bomb Squad energy, crescendoing in fine maximal percussive style. 

It’s no wave, but not as we know it. With new members bringing effects and collage elements to the spacious minimal wave core, there’s plenty of avenues for future formations of Devon Rexi to explore.

Glenn Echo & Daniel Meinecke - What Happened To Yesterday?

Djrum's first release since 2019, the Meaning’s Edge EP is an introduction to a whole new world. For the artist also known as Felix Manuel, it was created in the final stretches of six rather traumatic years work. Having carefully honed his techniques and aesthetics, and learned some hard-won emotional lessons over this time, finally he began to work in a quicker, lighter fashion – and to cleanse his palate a little by bringing in a fresh ingredient: his own flute playing. For listeners, though, it will serve as an appetiser, a way into the delights and complexities of this new phase of his creativity.
 
It’s a serious work in its own right, mind. The use of flutes – including Bansuri, Shakuhatchi, Western Classical, and synthesised all blending and blurring into one another – gives it a coherence and a sense of airiness that unites the five tracks over half an hour, however divergent their beats get. And as in all his music, 
 
Here you find the opening track ‘Codex’ which alone touches on OG dubstep, Aphex Twin-like braindance, post-classical exploration, movie themes and more. The gentle tones and melodies that rise up out of it perfectly conjure Felix’s running theme of a protective bubble that provides a sense of safety and tranquillity even as the beats and acid gurgles and spurts all around it conjure up the slings and arrows of life’s difficulties.
 

… and it’s only just the beginning. This is the return of a master craftsperson more focused than ever on his vision and vocation and ready to blow your mind all over again.
