Thick droplets of water hit the basin with a loud thud, like a ticking clock counting down to an unknown event. The room was cold and damp, the wall paper had begun peeling all over and thick layers of dust had settled on every surface; it was no place for a person to inhabit, at least not any more. Once upon a time this room and the home it was in had been a sanctuary to many; a place that brought comfort and happiness; a place that was loved and looked after - now it lay dormant, a relic of the past forgotten with time.

Doline's new release marks two big milestones for the artist and its home Grid Records; a debut album and the first long player on the label. The French artist and Sound Pelligrino affiliate has already released on the imprint back in 2021 and this follow up, Dompte-regard, is another showcase of his deftness at sound design and playing with mood and tempo. It's refined as ever, pairing melodic touches and glistening synth lines, which have it sitting somewhere between the club and home listening.

Tammo Hesselink - Paint Reduce Trick

Originally from Leeds, georg-i is a Bristol based producer and DJ. First releasing music in 2021 through YCO, as their second ever release, georg-i’s productions have been going from strength to strength. With follow up releases on French label Dill Dodos Recife, Perko’s FELT imprint, another outing on YCO with plenty more in the tank for the future. His love of fast and scrappy sounds, hardcore bands, big riffs and heart on the sleeve leftfield techno, georg-i has cultivated a sound that will have you barrelling along one moment and give you serious whiplash the next. As a DJ he has had appearances on Noods Radio, Rinse France, NTS, Anklav’s ‘Breaking the Border’ series and most recently Fact magazine's Mix series, showing he’s equally lethal behind the decks.


For the inc.ternational Mix Series, georg-i has provided us with more of a slower-moving and chug-intensive assembly than his latest outings, fitting right at home with the Weirdos Sound.

Just as you settle into the fantasy of spending your remaining years in objective bliss, along comes the EBM and Electro Territories Train to pump you into a heady, nostalgia-kicking reality.  On this train there are many stations, Slapping Acid, 90’s UK Progressive Trance, Techno Paradise, before coming to its final destination: Deep Tech and Indie Dance Delirium. 

George and I used to light up dawning Bristol mornings with wicked vinyl Back2Backs when I’d make trips over from London in 2015/16.  To this day he’s a prime B2B Partner, alas its been too long, the fantastic energy they bring behind the decks makes it an absolute pleasure to host them.

Viiaan - Fusagasuga (Honeydrip Remix)

After heavy-duty releases on self-administered imprints Low End Activism and Sneaker Social Club, as well as London’s beloved graffiti-laden mutant-bass stronghold Seagrave (RIP), the almighty Low End Activist makes a welcome debut with the ESP Institute. No stranger to mining distant regions the hardcore continuum and the residue of soundsystem culture at large, his relentless traversing and assembling of U.K.-specific rhythms demonstrates there is no end in sight when it comes to evolving the region’s musical gene pool. The 5-track 'Gossip Is The Devil’s Radio' strings together a smear of dystopian instrumentation—ghostly pads wrapped in melancholy, percussion that marries bleep with low resolution shrapnel, and vocal fragments that resemble a control tower’s two-way radio on the fritz—all imperfectly focused through a damaged lens of dancehall. We’re drawn to a dull moan that pervades throughout the record, reminiscent of the nihilistic moments in Abigail Meade’s score to 'Full Metal Jacket' where the sonics resemble a slow churn of molten steel occasionally punctuated and pierced by crystalline shards. The depth between the bone dry immediate foreground and distant wet background creates an exquisite sense of longing which isn’t inherently dark or menacing, but seductively bleak. As voyeurs, we may certainly appreciate the aesthetic LEA portrays, but we can’t fully comprehend the sense of escapism rooted within this music without having come of age in the damp and restless confines of England on the cusp of Thatcher’s abuse. Its a reminder that the light at the end of a tunnel, while it may be dim and grey, is still a light after-all, and the only way out is through.
