Lithe & NORA DRUM - Split EP 

Four slices of polyrhythmic bass and breaks. 

"Split EP is the result of conversation between two work colleagues swapping and sharing tracks while on shift, finding common interest in music that takes the core stylistic markers of drum and bass and breaks it down into new and exciting forms. The result is a venn diagram of Lithe and NORA DRUM’s individual sounds, often overlapping and feeding back into the other but distinctly their own. 

Lithe’s contribution is markedly lighter in tone. Opener ‘It’s Rhythm’ is an upbeat, hard drum-inflected take on polyrhythmic drum and bass with pitched percussion and wobbling sub bass. The follow up ‘Second Pavilion’ is a lengthy, progressive take on liquid drum and bass that sits somewhere between fast techno and the composition style of Forest Drive West. 

NORA DRUM takes an introspective turn on their half of the EP with both tracks allowing space for mood and texture. ‘Lungfish’ is a rolling dark d&b number where polyrhythms encourage the listener to stop worrying about meter and give in to the feel of the track, with chaotic breaks on the back end that offer little respite. Closer ‘I Can Tell That You’re Trying’ is the heaviest of the four, with a deep, weighty lumber that crescendos into distorted amens and hoover bass."

More Time Records continue Timewarp, their run of 12 releases in 12 weeks, with a 3-track EP from Bristol based UK Funky producer aæe. His previous contribution to the label (last year’s raucous Switchblade EP, in collaboration with Bandi) was widely supported in the club by the likes of Martyn, Skream, Toddla T, Emerald and many more. 

aæe is a regular feature at club night’s in Bristol, also running his own series of events ESO which covers a wide range of music across the bass music spectrum. 

Dance Rituals begins with the rowdy ‘Pull It’ which is driven by a gritty overpowering bassline which still maintains enough warmth to sound sonically pleasing. “There wasn’t a lot of obvious influences for me on this track as it happened very quickly. I’d say if anything it would have been mainly from DJ Champion’s swing style drums and old-school growling basslines that I drew my inspiraton.” 

‘Get Up’ is originally a track made specifically for Skream’s UK Funky special on Rinse. It is another UK Funky banger but Jair pushes the sound to its limit, with a main ultra-garish synth line which has been tried and tested to move dancefloors. 

On the final track, ‘Drop’ which runs at 160 bpm, aæe utilises the signature “tribal” More Time sound and re-imagines it at a much faster tempo. “The influences for this one was mostly from artists like Dub Phizix and LEVELZ. I love the way their tracks punch through the mix with really heavy subs grabbing everyone’s attention in a club when it drop.” 

aæe’s productions pack bags of energy and he is definitely a name to look out for in the future.

Drop

The old church stood high on the hill, an ominous presence presiding over the small town. Not much care had been taken to keep the building in good order, its condition had slowly and steadily deteriorated over the years. Inside, however, the intricate paintings that covered the walls and ceilings still remained intact, dulled in colour but still a sight to behold. But it was rare anybody set foot in here anymore. Many spoke of haunted tales and strange unexplained occurrences; disappearances and people losing their minds. Now suspicion and fear had taken control...

Davis' ODDiscos present their final offering of the year, a compilation bringing together a host of artists who all add their own distinct flavour to the release. Curated by Martinelli, Ferramentas Vol. I is a useful set of tools showcasing a wide variety of sounds and styles, from the percussive works of Kakubo and Martinelli himself to the sonic musings of Letrícia and Zelada. Our selection comes from LA-based producer Dreams who's haunting and atmospheric breaks take you to a higher plane...
