Setting the tone in a similarly deep and heady post-rave delirium as RBI’s Disseminate and in-house group Sleep D’s latest album, the spectral dub techno of Unsolicited Joints slips in perfectly to the Butter Sessions 2023 vibe.

Unsolicited…no one asked for these joints, yet here they are. Salvaged from many spontaneous late night jams over the last few years in a darlinghurst studio with only the mood in the room and the spirit of fun as guides. It’s all here really - Convextion-esque Midwest futurism, spiraling pads and woodblock style percussion mixed with the kind of borderless deep house timbres that nod more to Sprinkles, Regelbau and Acido than the watered-down, commercialised monotony. Elements of bleep, golden era 90s progressive house and even dubstep (‘Joint 5’) coalesce to prove a distinct UK influence, though Sydney brothers, Cousin & Ben Fester, combine them with ease.

'Joint 2' manages to at once subtly unfold yet rapidly ascend into peak-time 130 territory, knowingly crafted with the DJ in mind. Meanwhile 'Joint 3' gathers momentum through a shuffling, almost European minimal sort of groove, equally floor friendly but with less of the intensity. The aforementioned bleep tropes poke their head out on the latter half of the opening cut, while across the whole thing is a sense that the Fester's are as voracious listeners as they are talented producers. An exciting collection of tracks that wear their stylistic influences on their sleeve but are deep in the knowledge of those that have come before them.

It tasted bitter, not like he’d imagined. It burnt his tongue, a strange sickly taste, man-made for sure.

This was supposed to be ethereal, a dream like state, yet the chalky aftertaste lingered long in the memory for all who’d danced with the devil. Was this fun?

Soon the room became cloudy, the colours became brighter and everything became loud and dense. It swallowed him up whole, leaving nothing behind.

Was this ecstasy or something more?

Good Crazy deliver sleek, sexy dance music at its best on a new EP from Barbara Nicole & ST..N. This one is fast paced, laced with dubby stabs and whispered vocals which make this alluring and club ready.

Gacha Bakradze (@gacha) 'Word Color'
Mini-LP [LPS17]

Pre-Order: https://lapsus.bandcamp.com/album/word-color
Release Date: April 12th, 2018

For a number of years Lapsus Records has closely followed the career of producer Gacha Bakradze and has kept in touch with an artist who previously participated on the "DEU" compilation (Lapsus Records, 2014) with the track "Blackout", under his more ambient moniker, Winter Flags. It was therefore simply a matter of time before a record collaboration materialized in the form of "Word Color", a nine-song mini-LP in which Gacha gives free rein to his most introspective electronica. 

This imaginative producer from Tbilisi (Georgia) has deservedly earned plaudits throughout the European scene, becoming a mainstay of the Belgian label Apollo –a sub label of R&S Records, a fundamental label in the development of underground electronic music over the last three decades-, for whom he has released half a dozen releases to date, receiving reviews from prestigious publications including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. Furthermore, since 2015 Gacha has combined his facet as producer with the running of his own label Transfigured Time. 

"Word Color" is a cinematic arrangement of captivating melodies, rhythmic experimentation, textured landscapes and micro-vocal samples. Gacha has once again reinvented his musical ideology, bestowing it with mood defining authenticity and excitement, through superbly and dextrously programmed rhythms and harmonies. Songs like "Leaf", "Oneself" and "Stray" travel into ethereal wastelands and are ambient soundscape pieces replete with nuances and unexpected twists. "Word Color" also makes room for beats, with the low pulse of jungle rhythms in "The Prayer"; IDM and electro fusion in "Word Color"; and even the sound of hi-tech breaks in "Saphri Rocks".

There was a song and a dance for every occasion in New York city, people paid good money to be entertained of an evening and gave little thought to the poor souls behind the scenes. As the red curtain lifted they were presented with a million whirring lights and the flashing bangs of a drum. One solitary vocalist boomed out across the system, elegant tones built for more than a downtown theatre. The place was falling apart. Cracked ceilings and marked floors, this was not a place of luxury but a dive of demise. The singer was alone, but not alone. 

Long Island Sound are a Dublin via Berlin duo who have crafted a niche for their intricate take on house and breaks, picking up a firm fan base of followers and support along the way. A new EP is set for release on Signs Of Space, a crafty affair.

Gnork’s leftfield dance label Earth Plates returns with their latest vinyl release, this time with fellow Hungarian CT Kidobó’s Exboyfriend EP. Kidobó may have been slightly under the radar in their Budapest locale, but is wasting no time making a name for themselves with flaring analogue electro flavor. The EP begins with two powerful electro tracks by Kidobó and the flip side features two great re—interpretations (both with a healthy dose of acid) by Label head Gnork, and Zurich’s Douala.

The title track Exboyfriend starts the EP off with a bang. CT Kidobó’s fast-paced and commanding drum programming recalls pre-pandemic memories of dimly-lit, intimate dancefloors while the heady melodies offer moments of foggy bliss and cloudy introspection. The vocal sampling in combination with lush melodic tones offer a dreamlike human touch in what is otherwise a robotic infusion of sounds. If this invigorating and deep electro style is what Kidobó has in store for listeners, there is no doubt you’ll be hearing more of them.

The Exboyfriend EP marks the second physical release of 2020 for Gnork’s Budapest-based Earth Plates label, and is CT Kidobó’s first time on wax. It is scheduled for release on September 15th.
