3rd Party “War Dust” ROIS003
						
		1. 3rd Party “War Dust”
		2. 3rd Party “Sniper Surfer”

Release Date: 01.11.2024


3rd Party is a new project from Matt Kowall (AKA EZ Jam) and electronic music veteran Mark Hawkins, which is abstract Bass-music focused. 

This debut outing focuses squarely on updating the early 90s Jungle paradigm with more modern sound design, that additionally draws influence from grime, and other more contemporary sounds, with an attention to maintaining high levels of production, guaranteed to bang any system it’s played on.

These two cuts reframe and breath new life into the breakbeat aesthetic, by seeking out new drum breaks to cut up, rather than just rinsing out the tired usage of the legendary Amen break, but nevertheless remaining very much in the same ball park as the much used sample that was originally performed by soul group The Winstons way back in 1969.

So, as always, play it loud, annoy your neighbours, crank it up on the car stereo with your windows down at the red traffic light and enjoy!

Exocet is a much older piece, dating back a full seven years, which is reflected by the more restrained pace, and refusal to adhere to clichéd tropes, clinging on to the old adage  popularised by Jeff Mills, when he was quoted as saying that Techno should be “sounds that you’ve never heard before”.

Dark Energy reframes the early nineties upbeat euro-with-a-hint-of-detroit sound, counterbalanced with slick 21st century production values, it’s frantic 144bpm tempo likely to appeal to the new generation of thrill seeking techno kids looking for something to raise their pulses.

FIT SIEGEL + TIM "LOVE" LEE - LIVING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS (ORIGINAL MIX)

This summer Tom Scholefield a.k.a. Konx-om-Pax will release the very welcome 'Refresher' EP, his follow up to last year's album, the popular 'Caramel', which explored and disassembled the afterglow of warm rave memory.  

The EP kicks off with the joyous actual rave of Cascada, a piece of sunny techno with a modulating, catchy stab riff over strong kicks. Next up, 'Species with Amnesia' starts of with hazy bells and synthetic, warped bird-like sounds, before dropping into a chugging Italo disco bassline and a relaxed synthline which snakes around the chords in unexpected ways as the track progresses. 

The first of two remixes, the µ-Ziq mix of 'Caramel', is recast to maximise it's airiness, its soft chords building into epic slabs of choral sound over loose breaks. The EP finishes on the slowly evolving dawn ambience of Huerco S.'s 'Extended Stay - The Morning Version' of 'Beatrice's Visit', eleven pure minutes of gentle bliss to get lost in.

Tevatron is back on its Metrohm label with its "My Origins" concept. Inspired by the fathers of Techno he synthesizes his influences
and his project is quickly acclaimed by one of the masters of the genre like Derrick May in others. "My Origins Part2" is an invitation
to discover the roots of Techno, with this new version, Tevatron returns to the sources by offering us two beautiful timeless tracks
powered by bass lines based on arpeggio, powerful beats with a groove supported, striking agreements with a backbone very
representative of the Techno of the mid-90s. Laurent Garnier considers this EP as a new classic of its kind.

B1 TEVATRON - MY ORIGINS PARTII (Spatial Mix)

Next up in this ongoing split-ep series are two equally talented producers from different ends of the spectrum, both sharing their unique viewpoints on that special dreamspace of self-awareness and how the way there actually sounds like!

Following his explosive Figure-EP just this recent summer, @juxta-position-1 now reveals his more sublime side on these two technoid journeys. Keeping it raw and beautiful, the analogue lover lets his synths engage in dialogue, floating through murky realms and simply getting lost in the groove. 

A new face for Figure and definitely one to watch is @pablo-mateo-10. Taking a likewise subtle yet distinctly more grounded approach, his tunes unfold slowly and each tell their entirely own storyline. Tomo is an extraordinary specimen of how a track grows past its confines, into something genuinely touching and can eventually open up that space inside and what lies beyond!

(A1 from upcoming Superstition EP)

Joining forces for the first time are label founder Len Faki and Juxta Position, a rather fresh yet already integral member of Figure. How effectively the prolific producers worked them machines with combined strength shows in every fiber of this four-tracker.

The record‘s sides feature two alternate mixes of each track: Superstition tempts with is sultry vocal, driven by an irresistible acidic groove, fusing Juxta Position’s preference for rough and analogue sounds with the tight programming Len Faki has become renowned for. Paying tribute to UK’s gritty brand of warehouse-techno, A2 introduces a more swinging and all-out version of the track.

A lot more tender than its counterpart, Gathering Clouds slowly builds from jagged synths and droning basses, brewing up a vivid tempest of anticipation. Verging carefully on the moment of emotional release, we are left to imagine the theatrical scenery cooked up in this delicious blend of the two artists’ singular skills.
