There were rules to this business, it wasn’t like any stranger could walk in off the street and make it to the top with a few flashy moves. There were principles which had to be learnt, experiences which would humble even the hardest of street veterans.

This sort of stuff took time, time he didn’t have.

Instead, he was looking for the quick, fast flick which might separate him from the rest and streamline his career to the top rank.

Some sort of trick, some sort of technology which might short circuit the whole game.

Cassius Select brings the Bass on a new compilation for Bristol label Amity. Featuring alongside the likes of Pluralist and qgb – this one packs a punch, the kind which stings for a while after.

KILLS TWO BIRDS

PREMIERE: Cassius Select - TRICKNOLOGY! [Amity]

New two tracker showing two sides of bass music I'm very fond of. One heavy side for the club and one for the deep broken beat hours. Only available through bandcamp. Enjoy!

"It feels like at the moment, we're lost in the long dark tunnel. Plenty of dance music seems to operate in a revivalist form, within a regression cycle, it's hard to pinpoint the exact sound of "now" without it referencing other points in history.

"We're trapped in 20th century culture on higher definition screens", poses Mark Fisher in a seminal lecture, and thus, exposes Berardi's concept of the Slow Cancellation of the Future. "Nothing ever really dies, but that's not good". In 1992 it was impossible to imagine the shape of music 6 months into the future, so why are we now constantly going back to these genres?

My aim with this release was to try and participate in the legacy of the Hardcore Continuum within the sonic context of the current world. A hyper-online, overstimulated landscape where our attention is constantly invaded by notification after notification, stimulus after stimulus. I try to materialise this by reshaping sharp noise into pulse, genre staples like the breakbeat get torn apart and forced into a brand new skeleton, and riot-invoking grime chants are repurposed into music set for a bleak now. Jungle, Dub, Grime, Garage, they are all present here, but the heavy gravitational pull of their legacies presents to me as a black hole I've tried to encapsulate in this EP.

Why is the future vanishing?"

Alas, spring is finally here… and while we’re at it, so is MR007)) This latest endeavor, brought together by Entrañas, offers an inspired take on traditional Ecuadorian rhythms like Bomba and Albazo. Criaturas, as the name suggests, dives into various animalistic tendencies, showcasing them across five heavy-hitting tracks.

Sapo (frog), as described by the artist, is someone who likes to gossip. As a final scathing exclamation point for the project, Sapo joins us in two forms: the first being a 160 bpm tidal wave from Entrañas, and the second a grime-riddled remix from Rizla Ops. Both cuts employ various dancefloor tactics to stir movement inside and outside the booth, and we couldn’t imagine a better sonic marriage of label friends, both new and old. We’re particularly fond of the crescendo nature of both tracks as they warp through the speakers and are feeling lucky that they’ve found a home here at the Road

Till next time,

Entrañas - Sapo (RIZLA OPS REMIX)

OMOB (formerly Overthinker Mob) is rebooting—here to stay, and more committed than ever to probing and archiving the innovative fringes of culture.

“The Dance of All Creation” compiles a neo-Afrofuturist moodboard of music, visuals, and haptics. This release recruits a weighty international lineup of pioneering forces and sonic architects: Bloomfeld, DJ Lag, DJ Spit, Mafou, Mukuna, NVST, and State OFFF.

[As we further distract ourselves from our environment, we channel our collective intelligence into solving problems of our own design. Our intuition—once attuned to the endless cycle of transformation—fades, taking a backseat to progress. In our pursuit of control and dominance, we decrypt nature’s patterns, quantify its rhythm, mimic its choreography— all the while unlearning how to dance the dance ourselves. Figuratively and literally]
