Sink The Ship

Based in San Francisco, California, Farsight has firmly established himself as a name to watch in the past five years, with releases on labels like [Re]sources, Prjkts and Scuffed exhibiting his deftly-blended melting pot of club music influences.

‘Renegade’ is his second release on Scuffed following 2019’s Oaktown EP, which picked up support from the likes of HAAi, Jaguar and FAUZIA.

Farsight sets out a clear statement of intent on title track ‘Renegade’, with his own vocodered vocals delivering immortal lines like “best beats in the biz coming atcha”, backed by anthemic rave stabs, weighty 808s, and raucous breaks.

Up next is ‘Tied Hands’, a skippy, broken beat roller which sees Farsight skilfully build and layer syncopated vocal chops as the track progresses; before returning to time-honoured UK rave influences on B-side ‘Until Next Time’.

Closing out the release is a remix of Renegade from one of the most exciting talents in the new wave of UK garage, Interplanetary Criminal.

@humanmovement-aus @made-in-paris 

Human Movement and Made in Paris have both established themselves as revered tastemakers in Australian Underground dance. Hailing from Sydney, having sharing stages, remixes and also a close personal friendship, today the duo unleash their first collaborative single, 'Feel Me'.

Their unique ability to create atmospheric soundscapes with driving percussion is well on show here, a battering kick and high hat combo acting as the beating pulse of its 6 minute run time. Eerie vocal lines set its anthemic tone combining perfectly with the track's ethereal rave melodies.

With both producers operating in two distinct dance lanes, they mould together to create a club roller smack bang in between their sonic identities.

Step Ball Chain continues to shake the system and flip the skritch with its third offering via MYKI’s follow up solo release “Delenya”. The undeniably intriguing Tel-Avivian Producer & DJ, also part of the Tofistock label family and member of Shen band, shares a consensual glimpse into his fevered brain over the course of a spellbinding week. Progressively exposing sensations rooted in paranoia and isolation of recent dystopian life, the EP is sonically metamorphosed into conscious expanding club explorations, percussively advanced and masterfly frenzied dance tools for the globe's memorable dance floors. With an additional likeminded remix from label-head Roza Terenzi, the 4 tracks embody a staunch riot signalling the optimistic restoration of movement and ferocity, highlighting the crucial role and release these sentiments provide. 

Establishing the overarching atmosphere, Vertigo opens with a humble vigor; the commanding clunk of bassline leading the way for the solid stride and dynamic rhythmical transit Myki specializes in. Strictly snapped snares in conversation with auxiliary percussion and textural vocal splinters, the personality and flair that continues evidently through the release, alongside the subtly encompassing arpeggiated swells circulating overhead and the dipping lurching distortions breeding below. Roza’s remix bumps the rush of the original, preserving the frisky spirit through a stripped spine of sultry throb; then creating space for experimental evolution of rhythmic and melodic concepts. Existential breaks skip through the middle of a structural swell and switch up in kick patterns later down the line for endless mixing potential. 

The temperature continues to rise on the B side as Myki ascends into 140+ club territory. Puma Snap snatching your ears instantly with rudely harsh distortion, abandoned abruptly for a quick & slick stripped back drum pattern, gently teasing in extra percussion and light pad timbre. The infectious rolling bass pokes in underneath, locking effortlessly in union to drive the levitating hypnotic flow; the magnetic power of strutting feet to the floor. Bleeding Tooth shadows this stamina for the conclusion; yet with a murky roughness seeping through severe shaded drums and growling low end. Brace yourself for curious revelations and structure ambushes, keeping the innovation gushing with a jarring guitar disruption and gnarled vocal mumblings to stimulate physical combustion. 

Here lies a new age era of perc heavy prog-dance-trance, a twisted and tweaked high energy evolution from historical roots, the kaleidoscoping euphoria and playful aural punishment that trickles through Step Ball Chain’s ethos.

The undisputed Irish prog master Dylan Forbes steps up with an idiomatic release of club-orientated house tracks marbled to perfection. 

Sitting beneath swathes of euphoric synth lines, acidic iterations and probing basslines, 'Mind Expander' is a record formed by collective ideals from the solitary walls of Dylan's lockdown studio back in 2020. 

The realms of your augmented consciousness are waiting for you inside our digital mind expander... enter, if you dare.

@anyoneknowsuki 

It’s time to take a trip to the other side of the world and see how they are doing it over in Melbourne Australia. It’s now very well documented how much heat is coming out of the fine city of Melbourne at the moment and that rich vein is set to be continued right here, right now.
suki & Sniper1 come correct with four of the dance flooriest bangeroos I’ve heard in a good long while. There is barely a moment’s rest on this record and that is just the way I like it. If you like making people dance to the absolute max and I mean to the MAX then there is simply no excuse to not have this record in your bag.

It’s as simple as that.

OK enough of my blather. Go and listen to the damn things yourself and decide if you like them, rather than trying to work it out from reading a bloody press release you weirdos. 

All four tracks are produced and sculpted for the club. They want big sound systems and dark rooms. 

Close your eyes, hold hands and experience transcendental space flight...
