For their ninth release, Redstone Press welcomes Tano to the roster, accompanied by remixes from Toumba & Delay Grounds. Having all embarked on making music around the same time and connecting through sharing said music, it felt only fitting to bring them together for this release.

Drawing inspiration from Room two at Freerotation, Tano’s “10-11 EP” channels a slow-burning energy and gradually intensifies into an exhilarating frenzy. The EP's title track sets the stage with meticulously crafted subs and kicks, building anticipation for the explosive main bass hook. The driving drums and metallic guttural utterings heighten the sense of apocalyptic drama that unfolds throughout. Take heed, this one is primed and ready for the system!

Toumba masterfully takes the essence of "10-11" and flips it on its head while preserving the raw, untamed energy of the original. Clocking in at 90 BPM, the remix maintains a steady canter, employing syncopated and percussive rhythms, along with rolling and bubbling sub-bass stabs. Elements from the source material are flawlessly incorporated, showcasing Toumba's distinctive style and exceptional ear for intricate drum patterns, all leading towards an inevitable pressure release.

In "Blend Of Poetry," Tano showcases his prowess for crafting off-kilter basslines and captivating synth melodies. Originally intended as a B-side for "10-11," this track stands confidently on its own. It weaves together a barrage of rapid-fire percussion, languid and hypnotic sub-bass and gripping atmospheric elements, resulting in a compelling and electrifying late-night joyride.

Delay Grounds' remix of "Blend of Poetry" closes out the EP, taking it to new stratospheric heights. Elemental staccato synths hover above expertly balanced drums and bass, reaching a fever pitch of ecstatic euphoria. Through the subtle introduction of airy percussion, the track culminates in a classic, tranced-out breakdown adorned with bright luminescent horns and pulsating sub-bass.

for a second time, crttrs and friends have gathered to share their various noisy visions in a cute compilation. 
certain crttrs have spun a web of twisted bass lines to keep their snares and kicks in place, while others have dug through the ground to recycle old, forgotten fragments. 
still others have formulated spoken words, while the nostalgic ones chirped their sweet melodies. 
many things happened. 
synthesized and divided. 
each for itself, all together. 
a moist, humid compost has emerged. 
a nutrient soil and fuel to your imagination and dreams. 

we wanna be superstars! 
we might never be the ones that shine brightly in the sky… 
but who cares? 
the future lies in your local, rotting compost heap, anyway <33

derailed ep

atrice x SHALT- derailed (a3) [uu008]

Artist: @simon-off
Titile: joyful discontent
Label: guides
Release date: 17.11.2023
Format: digital / cassette (edition of 50)
Mastered by: LXC
Artwork: Marta Sieczkowska
Simon Hafner aka Sun People is well known to fans of fast tempos, having released music on labels such as @exitrecords @rua_sound and @through_these_eyes. Hafner presents a wide range of music and guest mixes on his monthly Sub FM radio show and is also releasing music and doing A&R for the label @defrostatica.

His latest cassette on the Guides label, titled Joyful Discontent, is a tribute to minimalism, referencing the works of Frank Bretschneider and Mark Fell. The starting point for this release was a JMT VDR-1 drum synthesizer, characterised by its intuitive aspects, its limited sonic capacities and the challenge to stretch the machine's possibilities. This one instrument informs the structure of the album, fixed in tempo, track and total length. Reducing his tools to a bare minimum, Hafner explicitly refers to specific genre traditions inherent in this radical form. Structurally and sonically, the spirit of clicks & cuts (e.g., Komet’s ‘Rausch’) can be heard, as well as influences from dub, ambient and minimalist drum&bass and footwork.

In his thinking, however, Hafner goes further. The idea of interlocking all the pieces, complementing the overall grid of constraints, provides the frame for a playful exploration. The result was also fuelled by intuitiveaction, such as when a single gesture and decision changes the direction of a process that takes place in real time. When composing, despite the track’s live act structure, he produced recordings that could function as parts of a jigsaw puzzle that can berearranged freely in any order, thus opening the way for a reinterpretation of the whole. This is also why the album will be available in two versions, both as a mix of combined tracks, and as eight individual pieces that make up the whole.

Despite so many formal constraints, Joyful Discontent still sounds accessible. The pieces produced by Hafner move in the direction of Mark Fell’s compositional approaches, where music is devoid of evoking emotion, rather, aiming for a neutral and non-imposing environment for the listener. 

(with the kind support of the city of Graz)

This release is also available on the artist's bandcamp page. If you want to support him directly, I encourage you to do so.

Basic Rhythm - Unworthy (TTT)

Lacuna delves into deeper and darker territory with another split EP from two upcoming producers carving out their own niche in the bass music landscape. Following 2023 releases on Left, Right & Centre and Nostro Hood System respectively, Small Crab and Elpac join forces on Lacuna to deliver four no-nonsense, club-ready, low-end tracks.

Dublin-based Small Crab opens the dialogue with the ferocious ‘Venom’, a hard-hitting 100 bpm rhythm which builds patiently before unleashing an infectious frenzy. She further develops her low-end explorations with ‘Snake Bite’, which rides an electrifying drum beat with a stinging impact.

Elpac responds with distinctive Bristolian experimentation, firstly with ‘Patrolling’ which hinges along a cavernous and sparse beat, intertwined with clever vocal sampling. He then completes the split EP with ‘SL25 (Crank Mix)’, which journeys along sirens and trumpets before slipping into a dancehall infused madness.
