Stuff I like a lot that isn't trap

Tech

On Fridays, as the last work day of the week approaches 2100 hours,  the garbage and recycling chutes from arcologies around the world open, spilling any offerings of week from the upper levels to the lower levels. Orphans, drifters, miscreants, the augmented, illegals, the desperate, the unemployed, and sometimes the occasional adventurous upper level dweller will often await its opening eagerly. The junk heap begins to fill as this week's offerings of obsolete or broken technology, spoiled foodstuffs (and pristine offerings from earlier in the day), and the occasional body or firearm (from upper level gang violence) falls and tumbles out onto the depositing yard below.  

This is a wonderful bounty to be had for the destitute. While the nice automated deposit yards are usually controlled by bio-manufacturing or recycling corps, most of the ones where this ritual occurs are run by the local gangs, punks, or shadow societies. Safety standards at these gatherings are haphazard at best; there have been incidents that have occurred where some attendants were crushed by falling debris. The upper and lower level denizens usually have an understanding and respect the ritual as an cordial interchange. In a world of excess, sometimes convenience is a lot easier if everyone benefits. The "pit bosses" are also known for their fair and equitable treatment of all citizens of the lower levels. This gathering is known as "Funday" in the arcologies and hive cities in the North American Federated States. In South American Colonia (SAC), the locals call it "la misa", akin to the old Sunday religious gatherings that occurred in the early 21st century before religion was banned throughout the world.    

When the last of the refuse land in the junk heap and the garbage chutes close, the junk heap is secured by yard workers, inspected by the on-site safety manager, and sorted with help from some 1st gen HumanMashcine workers. Items are tagged and appraised accordingly.  Then, the local "priests" will come and give their blessings by saying a few incantations and related techno babble, giving thanks to the upper denizens for their generosity. The DJs and musicians will then start their set, cranking up the volume and pumping out some nice grooves from antique speakers and subwoofers. Thus begins the "Funday" festivities that will last until dawn. 

While the sorting and appraisal is occurring, the populace, eager to receive the offerings of the week, will approach the staging area of the deposit yard where pit workers will hand out a number of chits. Chits are used for the auctioning of the sorted goods. The number of chits are given are also dependent of your contribution towards lower level society. A slum-doc might be earn more chits, compared to a lower level enforcer.  

Once chits are handed out, the procession of the destitute will shuffle and dance in an orderly fashion towards the deposit yard. The sacred ritual of the dance, bound by tradition throughout the decades, is strictly adhered to. Individuals will patiently roam the deposit yard and place bids on items they value using their chits, similar to an open English auction. Food and drink vendors, subsidized by the pit bosses, will also offer their goods to the participants in return for chits that they can spend. Dancing, chanting, bidding, and general extolling of the generosity of upper level citizens reaches a fever pitch by midnight.

Procyon alveare, or hive raccoons commonly known, will often attend 'Funday' gatherings a few hours before midnight, preferring though to dance and observe from sidelines. Tonight on 'Wanderers of the Megacity: Funday Mass', we will be broadcasting live from Shikaakwa-Arco, taking a closer look at these nocturnal animals and their fascinating behavior that continues to surprise scientists. 

This program will continue after these important announcements from the North American Federated States.

MF1403 - OL - Scape Border EP
Released 10/11

Available to pre-order from Phonica Records
http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/ol-scape-border-ep-pre-order-meda-fury/124527

Meda Fury welcome OL from Moscow, Russia. Following many varied contributions for labels such as Faces, Fine Grains, Phonica and Capital Bass. 
Lum Edit barges in sirens blaring, banging out machine like kick, hats and toms. The heaviest raw funk bassline is unleashed, and lumbers amongst Rap TV show samples and gunshots. Industrial gangster house. 
Around has a broken, jazzy Detroit feel. Sparing R&B vocal samples and afrocentric percussion ride the wah-wah and heavy bass guitar. 
Rimms comes straight out of leftfield, cutting edge drum machines rubbing up against Baltic art-rock samples. Its a strange claustrophobic affair with ghostly vocals. East European dancefloor paranoia. 
Myxa breaks the tension wide open, building a coiled spring of whistle-like riffs. R&B vocal snippets hype it up further before snapping and spilling its own elastic sub-bass. Fine feelgood ghetto-house action. 
Podumay's glitchy raw drums stomp forward towards all kinds of unknown sci-fi sounds and Kraut synth backgrounds. The contrast is a Detroit soul bassline and house percussion. 
Melt Down brings the tempo and mood way down to a mysterious close. The echoing sound of water and eerie isolationist synth washes recalling BOC. The beat is straight current-day Hip-Hop, tight snares rolling over dangerously low Miami-strength bass. Game over.

Out on 24/03/2017 in all other shops

It’s time to pack up the car and our daredevil is excited for the final of his many “Road Trips” across the vast continent. He throws on the booming stereo in the auto, while nodding his head to the reverberating and lengthy bass under the scattered layers of a somehow dark, but uplifting organ progression. The open road is his muse on his journey to the ocean.

The waves are rolling in on this crisp summer day in Cape Town and he feels confident. “Boom clap boom clap boom clap” is what he hears from the strong current striking against the rocks on the shoreline. He feels the persistent rhythm of the South Atlantic Ocean as he paddles out under the sinking sun. The warrior mounts the first swell perfectly and utters a subconscious, yet triumphant “Uh” as he descends from the peak. 

The sun begins to reach the horizon and the colors of the sky bounce and refract through the water, giving the scene an almost psychedelic feel. The seagulls click through the water searching for prey and they create scattered synths and sonorous cymbals from under the water. This whole day is really starting to get “Kinda Wavy.”

Kyle Watson - That's Kinda Wavy (Original Mix)

27th February sees UK dynamic House duo Leftwing & Kody release their debut EP entitled ‘Wobble’ on Mar-T’s celebrated label, Wow! Recordings.

Since their formation in 2012, Leftwing & Kody have quickly established themselves as one of the UK’s brightest exports, holding residencies at London’s Fabric and Ibiza’s Sankeys, as well as releasing on labels including Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, Steve Lawler’s VIVa, Adam Beyer’s Truesoul and via their own imprint, Lost Records.

Kicking off this excellent four-track EP is the title-named track, ‘Wobble’, seeing the duo combine tribal-infused Tech House groove with chopped-up vocal samples and various manipulated sound effects.

‘Redemption’ follows, featuring a killer four-to-the-floor beat, looped-up vocals and a rippling synth baseline pattern that darts in and out of the six-minute number.

Italian DJ/producer LEON steps in for remix duty, reworking ‘Redemption’ into stripped-back deep groover that utilises the original’s vocal snippets and combines them with a series of distinctive chord stabs, deep bass hits and intermittent pad-tones.

Concluding the EP is ‘Peak Fam’, a track that once again sees Leftwing & Kody employing tribal drums and percussion for a high-intensity closing track that perfectly encapsulates the euphoric nature of the EP.

Release info:

Release date: 17-03-2017
Title: Deep Elements EP

Description:

'Joeski has been a force to reckon with since his humble beginnings in New York’s house scene in the early 90s where he was DJing regularly at the likes of Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium and NASA. Returning to Kittball Records to follow up his 2015 ‘Back Door’ EP, Joeski has been busy touring some of the world’s most renowned festivals and venues from New York’s Cielo to New Zealand’s Ink Bar when not releasing on Crosstown Rebels, Poker Flat, Relief and Kinetika.

The smooth dubbed out chords and crisp percussive swing in ‘Kalimba’ open the release, before Joeski’s emotive pads and tranquil xylophone melody take hold. Next up, the pulsating yet soothing ‘The Forest’ is built with glistening hats and pixelated synths, whilst being driven forward with booming kicks and the hypnotic original vocals of Yanay. Rounding out the package is the jacking groove in ‘Extasy’, formed of layered snare hits and a visceral bass line that create the frame for the tracks dissipating chords and spatial effects to freely roam within.

Joeski ‘Deep Elements’ EP on Kittball Records is set to drop this March 17th.'

Tracklist:

Joeski - Kalimba
Joeski - The Forest feat. Yanay

PREMIERE : Trudge - When The Rain

With the Motorforce EP, Pépe ( @pepmanpepe ) joins the Renascence family in its fourth installment. 
A both tear-jerking and hot-blooded collection of music inspired by long highway drives in the Spanish summer, Pépe goes from lost-in-the-tarmac-jungle percussions to relentlessly emotional energy with melllow and nostalgic synths.  Dan White brings you deeper than the Marianas trench through a light, spellbinding, dub rework under the Rings Around Saturn moniker to top off the emotional trip that this entails.
