Breathe EP [Basement Tracks]

‘Chance Is Our Greatest Ally’ celebrates the launch of Faux Poly, a brand new label from Warren Cummings & Joe Danvers. The duo have been collaborating from their Hackney Wick Studio '38East' progressing their sound from sample based House to a heavier, hardware focussed sound forming a new outlet for themselves and other artists.

“Faux Poly is our outlet for experimenting with our process to make genuinely unique dance music, focussing on the idea that the best sounds are not imagined and then created, they are discovered. Each release will be based around a different concept or theme; both the process used to create the music and an aesthetic that runs through each record.”

Chance Is Our Greatest Ally [Faux Poly]

FP002 - Variations In Production

'No Clear Shape’ is the second release from Kassian on their new imprint Faux Poly. The release explores the concept of the VIP mix; the same core idea across 3 tracks and tailored for different environments or moments in a DJ set.

The Original Mix blends Broken Beat, UKG and UK Bass. The track builds and peaks with a prominent hook and strong melody. Next up, the Warehouse VIP strips down the idea into a no frills Breakbeat club tool, holding onto the main stabs and a stripped back vocal cuts, ideal for bigger rooms.

Finally, the Club VIP is a simplified 4/4 house variation, focussing almost exclusively on the chords of the original, far more suited to regular clubs.

No Clear Shape EP [Faux Poly]

FP003 - A continuous Stream of Sonics Running in Your Area

Buy: https://kassiansound.bandcamp.com/album/running-in-your-area

`Running In Your Area` is the third Faux Poly release of 2022 from label bosses Kassian. The release solidifies the mood of the label and moves Kassian closer towards a heavier techno sound, just in time for their Berlin debut at Panorama Bar and HÖR this summer. All three tracks feature the instantly recognisable voice of Theo Parrish, lifted from his infamous Eargoggles show on NTS.

`The Machine` builds on pads and acid elements synonymous with Detroit techno and introduces a strong UK Dubstep influence. This festival leaning electronica track remains restricted and confident, creating a sense of power and presence.

`Off World Vehicles` is simple and surprisingly explosive, a weighty statement techno track suited for bigger rooms, featuring a slow churning acid line and cavernous vocal loop.

Finally, `Actions` is a solid rolling techno club tool which manages to be both reliable and unstructured at the same time, with a looped out vocal and talkbox style acid line.

Breathe

Kassian - Aerial

PRE-ORDER: shallnotfade.co.uk/album/breathe-ep

Following their debut on the imprint in 2020, Kassian step up for a second outing on Shall Not Fade, this time via the Basement series.
Their return to the label takes a deeper, heavier direction than their previous releases, more suited to a warehouse over an intimate club setting.

As Kassian have continuously pushed their sound forwards, they've gained recent accolades such as contributing to BICEP’s Feel My
Bicep mix series and playing our very own LAB London.

Their latest EP 'Breathe' is perfectly placed for the long awaited return to nightlife.

Following their debut on the imprint earlier this year, Kassian step up for a second outing on Shall Not Fade, this time via the Basement series. Their return to the label takes a deeper, heavier direction than their previous releases, more suited to a warehouse over an intimate club setting. 

As Kassian have continuously pushed their sound forwards, they've gained recent accolades such as contributing to BICEP’s Feel My Bicep mix series, playing Mixmag’s LAB London live and notable coverage from DJ Mag and more in the last year alone. 

Their latest EP 'Breathe' is perfectly placed for the long awaited return to nightlife. The A1 delivers what a true A1 should, a peak time driving track with undeniable energy. “Aerial” pulls back the pace slightly, it’s a deep and rolling effort with a classic trance influence. Rounding off the EP is “London Orbital”, clearly inspired by the sounds of London that the duo are so familiar with, the track switches up the pace and presents a breaks focussed sound. 

Breathe EP drops August 27th via Shall Not Fade.
