still dreamin about this one, one of the most moving pieces ever

densely packed with so many different rhythms and variations throughout. gorgeous sounds

the resolve at the end here i cant get enough. alchemizes my attitude from hopeless to hopeful. very uplifting right here and really contrasts well in juxtaposition w/ the rest of the album

@stolenvelour returns to @kindergartenrecords with another confident display of intricate sound design and mind-bending rhythmic fluidity on 'Jasper'.

‘I know, I know' is split down the middle, a classic eski click and stomp embellished by an incessant vocal sample from frequent collaborator Xu Lai that morphs into runaway 4x4 halfway through, skittish and super swung.

We are very excited to welcome DJ QGB to the All Centre fold for ACEN057. After releasing two exceptional LPs in 2018 and 2022, he steps out from his own label Present Tense for the first time to explore a club-ready approach to his singularly intricate sound. Across the four tracks, he strips his work down to basics and chases “expensive sounds”.

Kicking things off in a wonky half-time groove, Animus Type Beat guides the listener through a heady, dubbed-out soundscape with forceful, stuttering kicks. Mechanical vocal chops and dub sirens give way to a tense, urgent melody which sounds and then submerges back into the track’s compelling percussive explorations. 

The Truth, featuring Freesound uploader Roses1401, takes on classic UKG ideas and transposes them firmly into the future with intricate, optimising sound design. Heavily swung drums hold down a hypnotic groove while subsonic basslines dive below. Meanwhile, haunting vocal samples and powerful string swells add a dramatic edge to the track.

Powpowpoww lives up to its name with a rushing, high-energy groove punctuated by synth swoops and oddball percussive sounds. An understated bassline makes its way to the fore with the addition of a glitched-out M1 organ patch, which plays out a haunting harmony to the addictive sub pattern.

QGB closes the EP with Halloween Track, a tense, kickless excursion. A stuttering, percussive melody lays the groundwork for the track, whilst manic samples and percussion build the tension to increasingly strained levels. The arrangement gives way to a heavy reese-bass breakdown before simmering out with repeated vocal chops.

Expensive Sounds is available across all digital platforms from March 8th.

Despite the efforts of organizers around the world, and the overwhelming disapproval of the international community, Israel continues in their campaign to see the displacement, murder, occupation, and apartheid of Palestinians to its brutal end with the help of the USA and UK.

As artists operating in the West, we call unequivocally for an end to this violence, for justice in the Palestinian struggle, and for the US and UK’s divestment of political and financial capital from the genocidal Israeli state.

We gather this music to offer our solidarity, make our position clear, and encourage others to continue advocating and organizing for the Palestinian liberation struggle.

All proceeds for this compilation will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (www.map.org.uk).
