Hidden under the veil of anonymity for years, Grant - now known to be Anthony Collins, half of Brooklyn’s revered Frank & Tony and co-founder of Scissor & Thread - has been a game changer in the lo-fi house scene. Pairing classic sounds from Detroit & Chicago house with complex textures and deep soundscapes, he’s created a powerful signature sound of his own. Having put out 6 impressive records under the wing of the Lobster Theremin family and his self-titled Grant offshoot, his partnership with head lobster Jimmy Asquith continues as he marks the second release on Asquith’s new label SITU Records.

Today’s premiere is the A2 off this new venture, titled “Dash”. Things heat up as a moody bassline and 909 beat strut along in good Chicago fashion. As the track breaks down, pads ebb and flow, shimmering, plucky synths breeze in, distant strings echo, and a stuttering vocal emerges. The combination of elements prove effective as they all combine to make the perfect slow-burning groover, perfect for eyes-closed dancing in the morning hours.

Across the Long Game EP, Grant offers up 4 cuts of moody oldschool house, taking us on a journey through the deeper end of things. Though never straying too far from his roots, Grant manages to sound fresh as ever, always bringing new energy to the table. Another buy on sight release from a masterful producer.

Started in 2015, Lissoms is a Berlin imprint founded by Newcastle artist and producer Edmondson. Best known for releases like 2013's Chestnut Ave EP on Hypercolour, Edmondson has recently decided to pair up with his long time friend Practitioner for Linhope - a split 12” featuring three tracks from each.

Following on from last year’s Hemisphere release popping up everywhere from Panorama bar to Radio 1, Edmondson brings cosmic house & leftfield techno to side A. Not too surprising, we have decided to premiere one of the cosmic house tunes from the record. This one is titled "Kloof," which features a playful assortment of sampled vocals and sashaying synths that delicately dance around a bassline whose sole purpose is to get you up on your feet. 

On the other side of the record, we have Practitioner - who has been active for well over a decade under numerous aliases and producing electronic productions floating ambiguously between UK-centric bass music and Romanian minimal.

Once a resident at the notorious Berlin institution Tacheles, he has material forthcoming later this year on Well Street Records, amongst others. His side of the record encompasses soundscape dub techno and 130 beat abstractions, sounding both meandering and monolithic.

If "Kloof" tickles your fancy or if you're curious to hear what the rest of the record sounds like, feel free to pre-order Linhope by following the link above. It's set to hit the shelves on May 25th!

Coymix Ltd., a new Estonian/Finnish label from Steffan Todorović (one of the minds behind Gestalt records) and Timo Rotonen (founder at Echocentric Records) has launched its maiden journey with a release from South African producer Terrence Pearce, aka Biodive. Here he rolls out a complex but direct 4-track journey of synth-buoyant and euphoric blissful mania.

Most of these tracks were originally planned for release on Gestalt Records, but after a bit of self-deliberation, Steffan figured it’d be best to start a brand new label to house the project. Having already been close with Timo, the two often helping each other with their respective labels, Steffan passed him the tracks and the two decided it’d be a good idea to launch Coymix Ltd. together. It’s no secret that the type of cosmic, pumping deep house that Biodive has delivered is trending right now, and for good reason. The music is of superb quality and emotion, and you’d be missing out not to grab this for the bag (or stick) before it sells out.

Plane of the Ecliptic leads the release with its big festival stage sound, first capturing attention with beautiful melancholic chords before introducing a pulsing subaqueous bassline that slinks over an otherwise calming ambient soundscape. The energy is serene but powerful, and I can already imagine massive crowds collectively losing their minds to this at the grand summer festival stages. The tune is never too busy, and Biodive does a great job building tension and releasing energy in an arrangement that really works to guide the listener through different states of feeling.After more than a year in the works, the project is set to release on both vinyl and digital formats on July 1, 2020. Support the label and grab the excellent debut project.

PREMIERE: Biodive - Plane Of The Ecliptic

2019 was the year of breakthrough for Amsterdam-based talent and De Lichting staple Eversines. Continuing on his ascension, we’re chuffed to welcome him to the fold with ‘Plooi’ – a stupendous mini sonic odyssey of sorts, taking us from vaporous skylines to brightly hued seascapes. Both captivatingly melodic and kinetic to the full, the four tracks composing the backbone to Eversines’ new jaunt into elegiac dance territories work their magic in the gap betwixt zen-like atmospherics, velveteen acid, sun-bleached electro and chiseled breaks that step up to the plate.

Whilst the OG version of ‘Plooi’ eases us into a shape-shifting environment, swinging the pendulum between nu-age infused / Sino-flavoured harmonics, lysergic bass phrasing and muscular breaks straight out the UK rave scene’s heyday, the remix from De School resident DJ Oceanic alters the original into a subaquatic dub weapon, navigating its way across frothing and bubbling synth lines to emerge in geysers of thermal bleeping and rhythmic outbursts. A more jacking affair, ‘Efbol’ carves out a lane of its own in between angular techno and playful, retro-laced electronica a la KLF meets James Holden in his ’Idiots Are Winning’ days. Completing the set on a more understated note, ‘Missing’ in collaboration with RDS promises to fill your headspace with thoughts of beauty and quiet. Merging FX-dipped piano chords, laid-back junglism and heavily verbed-out envelopes to form a well unique piece of ambient lushness, Eversines ushers us into a world of vibrant musical rapture, nestling away from standardized tropes and patterned behaviours.

X’trapolis is under threat... 

Word is spreading fast that the powerful and long-feared Agamid lizard known by many as Reptilius has been sighted building a dangerous army on the outskirts of Squamata, exhausting the forests natural resources and leaving previously thriving, culturally significant and beautiful areas decrepit and lifeless in a greedy, capitalistic move to gain control. 

Completely unaware of this, Reptant returns home to X’trapolis after spending 5 years conducting extensive research on Earth’s unique analogue technology. 

With his esteemed Lizard Tech Militia stuck back on Earth, Reptant finds himself alone and must seek help from the infamous Gecko Force if he wishes to succeed in protecting his home. 

The Gecko Force are a lounge of superior prehistoric native Gecko’s rumoured to have been some of the only survivors from the brutal Agamid colonisation of X’trapolis which occurred many generations ago. 

With their power and extensive knowledge of X’trapolis, the planet and all of its delicate and precious lifeforms just might stand a chance... 

Return To Planet X’trapolis was written, recorded and mixed by Reppi T. Lizrd AKA Reptant at Squamata Studios, X’trapolis 2019-2020.
