EMA’s Woozy label continues apace with WZY2.5; a new compilation highlighting 8 artists from Ireland and afar that embody the imprint’s obsession with low-end futurism. Featuring 2 production debuts, this release acts as an exciting snapshot of the talented global community surrounding the label and its founder.

Dublin-based Ambit kicks us off with Act Of Goodness, her impressive debut that skanks on a ‘08 dread-step tip. Fellow Dub PLUS ONE drops/raises the tempo for TRIAL, a stripped back halftime sub workout. Mid Air’s Huna seesaws a techno dancehall/d’n’b lurch with wild exploratory sound design in Lang. More Cowbell’s Eich also debuts with the mid-tempo party bass swagger of INDUCTION. Vancouver’s Destrata applies throbbing wubs and dramatic breaks on a smart 2-step break in Amphibian Barrier. Amsterdam’s Jasmín takes things on a more sinister route, delivering the technoid punk chug of Grumpy Cat. New York’s Sobolik revs up the gears with the playful ‘n’ bouncy hardcore rush of Deadly. WDDS sees us out with Slow Burner, a tense d’n’b roller that itches with junglist rinse-out fervour for a proper finale.

++ PRESENTATION ++

We are delighted to extend the GUN-X series with a second edition in partnership with HIDE Productions !

GUN-X is a series of releases that enlarge the processes of collaboration beyond the borders of the Global URL Nation. For each project in the series, members of the GUN community collaborate with members from another collective or label - exploring the results of cross-pollination and pooling across the global ecosystem of electronic music.

After an abrasive edition with Heel.zone in 2020, we’re happy to partner this time with the incredible multi-disciplinary collective HIDE Productions from Italy ! HIDE aims to connect artists by sharing resources such as sample packs, devices, types or 3D assets, in addition to delivering sharp and sizzling releases and audiovisual projects. Their dedication to provide high quality projects and resources over the years made it one of the most obvious choices to develop the series.

For the project, HIDE members SY/N, T.U. / Capiuz, Coeden & Leden cooked a pack of samples and M4L devices that were proposed to GUN members to make a track. 

AFGA06L, B E N N x Griigg, Cralias, Fungal Mat, jjjacob x P IT, Lukann, Nagruv, Sha Sha Kimbo x xato, & Talita Otović from the GUN community reinterpreted these to deliver a 10-track compilation that ranges from vaporous synthetic soundscapes to deafening growls, bitter hits and jarring noises. A caustic club material to handle with caution !

SHA SHA KIMBO & xato - Carbon Inhaler

Long-time friend of the label Plesk Parallel makes her way to All Centre to release a sublime double tracker. On Spit Fountain, Plesk Parallel revitalizes her sound with a pair of transcendent, explorative club tracks.

Spit Fountain opens as a CR-78 drum machine workout heavily manipulated by masterful sound design. Drum clicks reverberate across a cavernous space charted by booming sub-low kicks. A disorienting melody enters the fray in the latter half of the track, reminiscent of AFX b-sides and microtonal experiments.

Morpho shifts into a more mechanical, to-the-grid groove with rigid kick drums and earworm percussion. Drawing on 90s & 00s broken techno, Plesk Parallel puts her own spin on these conventions, augmenting the style with perfected sound design, hypnotic pads and a heavy, dubbed-out bassline.

Spit Fountain is available on all digital platforms from November 10th.

Plesk Parallel - Morpho [ACEN053]

London rave label Goddezz & staple UK club series Kyso Sound fuse their DNA coils and reveal to you the Genesis Pool. A glimpse into a world beneath ours, an ekosystem of subterranean currents and nu-life flickering in the depths. Genesis Pool is a various artists compilation comprised of eleven droplets of underground dance futurism; shimmers of grime, trance, jungle, ghetto and uk bass present a bio-sample that captures every strand of the current UK underground.

The droplet that began the discovery of the Gen Pool; ZaaZaa (also one half of Kiara Scuro) delivers an ethereal and urth-shattering opening track that fuses a grime skeleton filled with guttural pulses and crashing claps with ZaaZaa's own angelic vocals.

Following appearances on Steven Julien's label Apron Records and a release on London label Palm City, Fine Grains Records line up ‘Junction Tape‘ from Moroka, a first-class interstellar voyage gliding through uncanny constellations, filled with modern funk synthesizers, lo-fi house melodies and polyrhythms. Our pick from the album is 'Sovereign‘ – a sizzling cauldron brewed in South London. As Moroka dispenses with gravity, his dubbed-out symphony incorporates fireball kick drums, space-echoed snares and meditative synth oscillations, luring listeners into a pacific state of consciousness. Recommended if you're into the music of Space Ghost and Galcher Lustwerk.
