Hedchef Discography 2017-Present

CNPVA001 • Various Artists Compilation - @flixmusic87
[Ltd. Edition Cassette/Digital DL]

OUT NOW: canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/cnpva001

Limited run of 25 cassettes, recorded on high quality ’Super Ferric’ tape.

“We are thrilled to present CNPVA001: a curation of boundary-pushing electronic dance music, courtesy of the extended Canapé family.

Across its 8 tracks, CNPVA001 sees some of the UK’s most inspired underground producers explore an open-ended spectrum of club sounds, true to the unbound spirit of the label.

Rudimentary jungle, garage and dancehall flavours are met with an unquenchable desire for re-invention and reconstruction; a desire that is shared so readily amongst Canapé’s community of art-makers and consumers, and is sincerely embodied in this release. We hope it brings you joy.”

Woozy delivers its most ambitious statement yet in WZY3.5; a bumper-packed compilation that features ten talented artists from across the globe who are championed by the label’s founder EMA for their exhilarating cross sections of dub-futurist club sounds.

Elpac and Mulholland combine to burn twisted breaks within an all-consuming rave menace.

Toma Kami - Blades

Fetus, who has been gaining more attention with releases on Turing, the label he co-hosts with Oyubi, and on TREKKIE TRAX, will be released on 85acid.

The album begins with Wave Wave with its uplifting bass arpeggio, followed by Martian with its unique breaks and organic vibes. The title track, Flat W, showcases an even kick, and closes with Bug Bait, one of the most functional DJ tools on the album, with precise programming and sound design backed by Drum'n'Bass' experience. The ultimate club tool has been completed.

PREMIERE: Hedchef & Doctor Jeep - Orders of Magnitude

Mathis Ruffing - Nerfed

After a 6-year hiatus, we welcome back the man like Hedchef to the label, serving up a delightful 4-course meal of electro, breaks and bass, complete with a tasty desert from prolific producer, Homemade Weapons.

Introducing the expertly titled: “Infinite Deferral of a Promised Hidden Sincerity”.

We kick off with a bang(er) titled “Dyatlov Full Spec”, an electronic stomper which weaves in Middle Eastern strings and Arabic vocal tones. Next up is “Rhizomatic Heartbreak”, a melodic, thoughtful, drum-centered track with aggressive low end, flavoured with a generous dash of techno seasoning in a palate of electronica. We move into “Hanging In The Balance”, which raises the tension and the temperature another notch; a masterpiece in sound design and progression. This track should come with a *DANGER* warning. Finally, we have “Where Body Meets Air We Are All Cadavers”, settling the tension and with spacious textures, but tasting no less spicy than the preceding dishes.

We are blessed to have Homemade Weapons on the remix of “Dyatlov Full Spec”. The original is completely inverted with his take, centering on breakcore style drum patterns characteristic of a Machinedrum set.

Time's Up

"Claustrophobic, disorienting, uncomfortable - ‘Only Time Will Tell’ consists of 3 of my latest attempts to push functional club tools as far into the realms of dissonance and abstraction as possible whilst retaining their inherent purpose as body-moving dancefloor tracks.

I’m drawn to sounds that are insistent, deliberate, futuristic and unorthodox. YUKU have always shared a similar vision, so it was little surprise when the label picked the very first 3 tracks I sent over in a large vault of demos - the exact 3 that I quietly hoped that they would take, in the exact order I felt would be most effective.

‘Inertia Of The Real’ has been the closing track for many of my sets over the past few months - unhinged electrical zaps appear out of nowhere and rain down over a sparse grime rhythm to catch the crowd off-guard and cause as much chaos as possible.

‘Plated Brass Recursion Mechanism’ continues the theme of frantic digital laser assault, but this time with a locked breakbeat groove and unyielding low-end snarl - more conventional beat patterns for electro and techno lovers, but weird and unpredcitable nonetheless.

Lastly, ‘Fool’s Errand’ dials back the intensity just a touch, with eerie pads and disembodied vocal chops cutting through machine-gun hihats and start-stop call and response in the low end.

My attitude to production has always been a rejection of the nostalgic rehashing of sounds from the 90s and 00s that has come to dominate the dance music landscape in the current decade. If there isn’t at least one sound in a track that’s surprising or new to my ears, I’m not interested. As a statement of intent, I hope that ‘Only Time Will Tell’ will bring something exciting to the listener in that respect. Endless love to YUKU and everyone who gives the release a spin - getting the chance to share my music on such a perfect label is really such an honour."
