NHD006 - Henzo - Stretford Blues

https://henzo.bandcamp.com/album/stretford-blues-ep

Finishing off Henzo’s banner 2022 that has seen releases on YCO and Peder Mannerfelt Produktion, the Manchester based producer dials back the tempo into 5 cuts of gloom-ridden dancefloor damagers for his Nervous Horizon debut. Running the gamut of Dancehall, Techno and Drum & Bass, the EP’s refined palette is laser-guided in its intention of favouring groove and atmosphere over melody and hooks.

The opening track, 'Survivorship Bias', rolls out a lurching and smudged drum break over an equally sketchy Donk and vocal sample in a Bolton-meets-Belgium chug affair. 'It’s Ours and Hours Alone' and 'Writhing' lean more towards a typical Dancehall rhythm, smattered with the reticulated percussion that Nervous Horizon have been known for, saturated and growling. 'His Troublesome Knees' sees a variation on the theme of the opener, with the addition of harrowing, gnarly strings that posit drama in the riff that runs almost throughout; An inescapable tension that juxtaposes the highly danceable groove. Rounding out Stretford Blues, 'A Pocket You Didn’t Expect' feels like 3 tempos at once: 82, 164 and 328BPM. The battering, unrelenting kicks laced over taut breaks and hats hark to Jungle Techno and Tech Step in their composition, but the drawn out and bleak orchestral breakdown, coupled with a barking, irate bassline, suggest that Henzo shows no allegiance to nostalgia and is moving intently into the future.

Sans Relâche

PREMIERE: Jabes - Gaol Figure [Grid Records]

On their first collaborative EP, @lucaduranduran and @beliawinnewisser reaffirm their reputations as two of Switzerland’s most progressive and impressive electronic music talents, proudly presenting an offbeat take on contemporary pop music that’s as infectious as it is abstract. Released on zweikommasieben Magazin’s Präsens Editionen imprint, two contrasting tracks “Tid” and “Luz” are accompanied by equally instinctive remixes from @low-jack and @rhrmusiq .

Softly blending strains of hyper-pop, IDM and the club fire that Durán showcased on last year’s @tratratrax Boiler Room from Medellin, “Luz” is an enigmatic showcase of the intersection at which these two artists thrive, centering and manipulating Winnewisser’s vocals to spasmodic effect. Spacious and sensual at first, “Tid” ultimately aims for the rave with serious bassweight pressure applied to its frenetic rhythms, Winnewisser’s unprocessed voice guiding as a blissfully human counterpoint to a tapestry of electronic innovation.

Releases on @pan_hq , l-i-e-s and @editions-gravats have established Low Jack as a singular talent. The Frenchman offers these Swiss futurists a cinematic flip on “Luz”, steppin’ with eerie intent, gaudy keys and a commanding Latin vocal. From the creative hotbed of São Paulo itself, Rinse resident RHR unspools a pressurized, acid-tinged interpretation of “Tid”, bouncing Winnewisser’s vocals across the system within a hymnal chamber, innovative in the current guiding spirit of next-generation South American producers.
