Eora’s dub-techno tastemaker Command D and Naarm’s harmoniser of the emotive and abstract Zara combine for Gravity Reset, a collaborative four-tracker on Butter Sessions.

Both producers are equally nestled with love into Australia’s underground, with releases on beloved labels like Animalia and Pure Space. Command D also boasts refined live sets heaving in sub-bass, while Zara's celebrated for boundary-blurring productions and her Kinesis imprint championing the local scene. On Gravity Reset, they meet in lockstep, delivering trance-inducing offerings rooted in a shared love of rhythm, space and subtlety seeded with dub minimalism and introspective, tech-driven sound design.The titular track 'Gravity Reset' sets the tone with a deep, persistent kick, reverberated snares, and a low-end that twists and lifts. 'Cascadia' introduces pad warmth and light percussion, where laughter weaves into the mix, adding a human touch to the dub-soaked cut. '2Pulse' brings expressive congas and dubby psychedelia into dialogue with the wubs, before The Fog closes in a haze of phasing hats and musky bass.

A collaboration for the ages. What they mean when they say #deep.

Animalia's natural evolution into new regions & sounds comes with the introduction of @sub-basics to the label. For the first iteration in a new series of releases by the London based artist, Sub Basics brings his signature blend of minimal UK bass, with prismatic percussion loops & spaced out, psychedelic grooves, meeting a tech-house adjacent score that underpins the release.

Immersive yet functional, the release is versatile by nature, timely and fitting for both the autumnal shift in the northern hemisphere, and the welcoming of spring in Australia.

Artist: Sub Basics (London, UK)
Title: Wavelengths
Format: 12” / Digi

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in the UK, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Sub Basics - Wavelengths (ANIMA17)

Drum grooves left behind on the disk drive of an old SP1200, a rusted spring reverb and crates of dusty records, all boxed up in a distant relative’s workshop. @commandd has uncovered the first tracks in a series of forgotten gems of a distant relative, a craftsman inspired by the raw style of 90s house and techno.

On a mission to keep dancefloors moving, this long-lost relative’s productions find new life, with a hope to travel from city to city, deejays responsible for carrying sounds forged in the fire of an undeniable groove. 

The Vibesmith is the work of an alchemist with the freedom to embrace imperfection and find solace in tradition.

With no concern for passing trends, the Vibesmith went about thankless work at the forge, the fruits of their labour finally available for all to taste.”

Command D presents ‘Fever’, the first in a series of releases under his no muss, no fuss imprint ‘The Vibesmith’. Taking inspiration from Junior Byles’ 50s era joint, also called ‘Fever’, the track is a reinvigoration of an inescapable vibe sure to capture the attention of any willing dance floor.

The smith forges on, with no doubt many more to come.

‘The Vibesmith 001’ releases as a double single via Command D’s Bandcamp this Friday, August 29.

2501 - Ulmeyda (2501)

https://soundcloud.com/speechmaker: This mix tells an inner journey, an evolution guided by the steps of a person in motion. It moves through different phases – light and joyful, at times heavy or weighty, and at others driven by impulse and momentum. A dance that reflects the shades of an intimate voyage.

https://soundcloud.com/ethosrecords

Resident on Noods Radio with his monthly show Bodañ, Speechmaker is also co-founder of
the Ethos Records label alongside Eendracht, with whom he hosts Oratio on Retreat Radio.
An active member of the Rennes-based association ÖND, he contributes as a DJ and
programmer to the RadiÖND programme on Egregore Radio. He has performed at festivals
such as Astropolis and Ethereal Decibel, and has played in several clubs in the West of
France.

Speechmaker draws inspiration from a wide range of sounds, from electro to broken beats,
bass, techno, downtempo, ambient, rap, grime, and more. Above all, he seeks to surprise
and captivate, alternating between texturally rich tracks and bold choices. A silence can
interrupt a set to capture attention, followed by a powerful groove that sets the dancefloor
ablaze.

Refusing to define himself by a single style or set formula, he navigates between tempos
and emotions, fast or slow, dark or exhilarating, controlling energy with a precision that
leaves listeners intrigued and transported. Always on the move, he fashions a sound
language all his own, designed to trigger strong emotions and open up new perspectives.

Steven Porter (aka Katsunori Sawa & Yuji Kondo)- Reservoir EP

Mastered by Neel @ EnissLab Studios, Rome
Release date: 04/05/18, 12" vinyl + digital

Japanese sound sculptors Steven Porter (aka Katsunori Sawa and Yuji Kondo) sign two striking productions to Kynant, with a pair of remixes completing the ‘Reservoir’ EP. ‘A Need For Distance’ on the A-side is abrasive and hard-hitting but not without moments of melody. Fellow Japanese purveyor of tripped-out techno Iori mines a lean, highly-effective groove on the remix. ‘Romance Tip’ takes a slower, endlessly-detailed approach with sharp percussion and mind-bending atmospherics; Max Durante, who recently released his debut LP on Kynant, contributes a broken-beat workout to finish the record.
