The room was vast and cold, decked with floor to ceiling mirrors that reflected the hazy light streaming through the dusty windows. It was clear that this house had once been a spectacle, owned by people with far more money than sense. But now it lay derelict and abandoned, forgotten by its owners who'd left it in a complete state of disarray. Like those who'd once owned this grand house, its history had been completely wiped out; lost in time and space...

London-based imprint Pseudonym Records entered the world at the end of last year with the first V/A release in their Corporeal series, bringing together several emerging producers operating in the spaces between broken club music, UK Techno and DnB. Now they're returning for the second release in the series, tasking a new line up of artists—Sputnik One, FoxMind, Palf, Big Hands and Thodén—with cooking up another EP rife with percussive, breaks-driven and bass-heavy sounds.

PREMIERE: FoxMind - Mirror Bounce [Pseudonym Records]

Taken from SBKT048: 33EMYBW & Gooooose - Trans-Aeon Express

Artwork: Weirdcore
Design: Luke Griffiths
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Release Date: 25th March 2022

In late 2020, in the midst of lock downs and worldwide uncertainty, London based visual artist Weirdcore presented his first solo exhibition, ‘Orient Flux’, at SKP-S in Beijing, supported by Kennedy London. Developed and produced remotely due to travel restrictions, the exhibition spanned 7 interconnecting audio-visual installations forming a ‘train station from the future’, with music and sound design by 33EMYBW and Gooooose. Initially arriving at the ‘Stellar Lounge’, passengers traversed through the ‘Oblique’ security checks, decompress and adjust their bodies for travel in the ‘Microcosmic’ zone, and pass through the ‘Infinity Gates’ and ‘Dimensional Horizon’ to finally board the ‘Trans-Aeon Express’, an illusory bullet train, to embark on a spatio-temporal journey through time.

‘Trans-Aeon Express’ by 33EMYBW and Gooooose is a continuation of this project, with music and sound design from the exhibition, as well as new tracks inspired by and sampling elements/ambience from the various installations. Released on a limited-edition LP, as well as digitally, the album features new artwork by Weirdcore, updating and evolving the original Orient Flux emblem, with graphic design and layout by Luke Griffiths.

Special thanks to Kennedy London and SKP-S Beijing.

NHD006 - Henzo - Stretford Blues

https://henzo.bandcamp.com/album/stretford-blues-ep

Finishing off Henzo’s banner 2022 that has seen releases on YCO and Peder Mannerfelt Produktion, the Manchester based producer dials back the tempo into 5 cuts of gloom-ridden dancefloor damagers for his Nervous Horizon debut. Running the gamut of Dancehall, Techno and Drum & Bass, the EP’s refined palette is laser-guided in its intention of favouring groove and atmosphere over melody and hooks.

The opening track, 'Survivorship Bias', rolls out a lurching and smudged drum break over an equally sketchy Donk and vocal sample in a Bolton-meets-Belgium chug affair. 'It’s Ours and Hours Alone' and 'Writhing' lean more towards a typical Dancehall rhythm, smattered with the reticulated percussion that Nervous Horizon have been known for, saturated and growling. 'His Troublesome Knees' sees a variation on the theme of the opener, with the addition of harrowing, gnarly strings that posit drama in the riff that runs almost throughout; An inescapable tension that juxtaposes the highly danceable groove. Rounding out Stretford Blues, 'A Pocket You Didn’t Expect' feels like 3 tempos at once: 82, 164 and 328BPM. The battering, unrelenting kicks laced over taut breaks and hats hark to Jungle Techno and Tech Step in their composition, but the drawn out and bleak orchestral breakdown, coupled with a barking, irate bassline, suggest that Henzo shows no allegiance to nostalgia and is moving intently into the future.

Henzo - His Troublesome Knees

With a name like “Le Matin” - French for “the morning” - one could be forgiven for expecting something mellow. Gritty drums are layered over revolving time signatures, taking inspiration from footwork, grime, hip hop and rave. Le Matin celebrates the power of a vocal sample, chopping, reconstructing, looping to infinity and re-emerging with momentary clarity before diving back into disarray. Claiming that “we can change the party”, or “I just took my first shot”, his sense of humour is as strong as his sense of rhythm. Noisy hits pan and shake from one side to the other, turning the body to butter, Le Matin is a master of deranged patterns. Simple yet effective, his latest release is sure to unhinge any joint.

Everything by me

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Closure of my eyes so excited for the future
Let go of the past imma kill an old tumor
Imma always win I can never be a loser
Minds so fucked up I wish noticed sooner
But its ok im on top just like a ruler
Programming the script just like its a computer
Posted in the skys and im flying with my tutor
Pulling up with the guns gonna murder the abuser
Getting so much money im kinda like a looter
Yeah I fuck with art rather not be a consumer
Lurking in your dreams damn I feel like freddy Krueger
Living lifestyle I was born a new producer
Kinda feeling trapped so I had to call an uber
Fuckit ill be fine ian riding inna cruiser

[Verse 2]
Damn its getting lit I don’t need a babysitter
Everyday I tell myself cant help but be a sinner
Loss of control closure but my visions getting bigger
Seem me die a couple times i always come back richer
Seen me die a couple times I always come back bigger
Grinding for my future going up a couple figures
Getting so damn rich bruh im sorry if i litter
Always talking money mantra its a go getter 
I was in so deep taught myself to be a digger
I dont like this system but im also not a fixer
I dont fuck with drugs keep away that elixr
Sad im looking back cuz I knew i was a mixer
Fuck the world around me whole time the problem bigger
Glad Im zooming out now I see the bigger picture
