Actionfist's Sandbitch is momentarily danceable, for anyone who likes sexy music, and all IDM enthusiasts among them should marvel at how something so glitchy can simultaneously be so funky.

'Artificial Inelegance Volume Eleven' marks the first in what may not be a series of sampler compilations showcasing some wonky glitch-step. Presented here is a selection from Lab Beat's roster of slightly mysterious producers, spread over 4 continents and including the first, and probably last new recordings in years by both Actionfist and Master Eveleigh.


Actionfist - Sandbitch

Following such a comparatively jaunty outing as 2011's Joining Dots, Lab Beat bestseller Planes strays squarely into the dark side with the haunting, skittering 'Nuts & Bolts'. An unstable, soupy wobble is interposed between the innately exciting sound of insects buzzing. Fortunately there is a strong vibe to hold you tight throughout each unnerving listen.

Planes - Nuts & Bolts

Neverslept's 'Skrew You' riddim is nothing but a giant portion of confident robotic sleaze. A promise of a tight, funky staccato feel topped with hints of increasingly melancholic pads is not by itself sufficient explanation as to why you may snap your neck to this, especially if there is any robot in you.

Fork and Knife Trolls EP Preview OUT 12th APRIL 18!

'Spin' is radically different, this time sounding more like Samiyam's finest wonk-hop. The words 'effortlessly cool' might seem appropriate, but I've never managed to conceive of such a cool groove despite considerable efforts. If you want to feel cooler than any of us are, cheaply and cleanly, it's either listening to this, wearing sunglasses at night, or both.

Boomd - Spin

London based producer Fork and Knife has carved his own unique sound paying homage to the music that has shaped his tastes as well as the underground club scenes he is now a part of. His debut on Lab Beat (and our first release for over 5 years) is pure heavyweight fire!!! Featuring a remix from Lab Beat collaborator Clackman Duke.
