Une Tendance à Remplir

Bristol-based producer QGB returns their second album ‘A RECKONING’ out on the 8th April via their PRESENT TENSE imprint. The album was recorded over a three year period, with another year to get it together to release it. 

As mentioned to Accidental Meetings recently, GQB said of the album, “it’s aggy and a bit broken but I hope there’s also grooves and danceable sections in there and it’s not all heady self indulgent nonsense. I guess each track was its own little process but a lot of what inspired me at the time was working with more generative techniques, basic chance/randomness not wanting it to be academic and dry but making it feel a bit alive and unpredictable.”

This is their first release on the label since 2018’s release of ‘Hornet’ - a record which was supported by the likes of Truants, Call Super, and Resident Advisor to name a few. Slowly becoming a go-to producer for your favourite DJs, we’re super excited to share one of, ‘PIGS’ from the album - one of the most in-your-face, all encompassing tracks on there.

Chichi Draving returns to Allergy Season with On My Mind, the first EP under their new alias UwuQi. Redoubling on the playful, outré club sensibility of their past releases, On My Mind is an expansive 4-tracker slinking through the many moods of heady dance music.

Setting the tone, “On It” is a mischievous groover that weaves a giggling web of haunted MIDI harps and mutated vocal chops. “Crush the Piper” reverberates with piano and sawtooths synths slicing through a dubwise beatscape.

“Your World On A Grain Of Salt” ups the tempo and delivers a raving rollick through UwuQi’s world of ecstatic breaks. Exhaling, the EP bubbles to a close with the syncopated drum work and resonant reverence of “Prayers Prayers.”

Commonly found exploring fractured club sonics with a fierce bite on her POLAAR label, Flore links up with Peder Mannerfelt Produktions for a two-shot exercise in grubby, dance-wreckin’ rhythm. 

The lioness from Lyon wields noise and distortion with a razor-sharp intent on ‘Get Digit’, threading a tapestry of interference around a monolithic bass thump with a groove that takes its cue from the gnarliest end of the dancehall spectrum. 

‘Base IQ’ pivots towards 8-bit bleep and square wave grime with a stern, modernist tract. The sound design spits and snarls around these luminescent hooks while the low end takes on a thunderous energy, positively demanding a monstrous soundsystem over which to preach its message. 

True to Flore’s mission thus far, PM+6 comes loaded with a swagger fit for darkened parties where familiar structures get laid to waste in flamboyant fashion.

Lyon label Dill Dodos Recife present their sixth offering with Dites Safran's 'Turning Boa'. 6 tracks inspired by the pulsating energy of rush hour, Safran travels through dense sonic intermissions of textured zones in trap, deconstructed club, and low end hard drum. 

Our featured premiere 'Cosi' confides in the ever-changing screeches, sirens, shouting and sanity testing combustion of an evening gridlock. Intelligent breakbeats, liquid trinkets, and distant movements & murmurings create the backdrop on this heady wall of noise, taking a step away from the club and into the dreaded real world.

Turning Boa drops in full on September 14th here: https://dilldodosrecife.bandcamp.com/album/tuning-boa
