Premiering 'Diva Encounter ' by E-Unity (@e-unity) taken from the Improvisations V/A LP Compilation out May 7, 2021 via @grid-records

Clad (Rinse France) inaugurates GRID Records, summoning a world-class album compilation from close friends and affiliates. Mastered by Krikor Kouchian (L.I.E.S/Editions Gravats) and with art direction by E-Unity (TEMET/Oscilla Sound), 'Improvisations' allows twelve different producers to explore and create in different directions that they're not typically known for. Clad declares; "I made the compilation only with instinct, without too much reflection. All of the tracks are really different in style but linked by this same idea and endeavour to go beyond the limits of musical genres".

Featuring E-Unity, Kevin Murf, C.Coiffure, NRLSD, Doline, MISH, Lastrack, Théo Muller, Solotape, Realitycheck, EXCPT and Troy Gunner, the record establishes a tweaked-out relationship with improvisational sound-design from the outset and throughout. Themes of hypnotism and experimental club-focused excursions are entrenched within the framework, with deadly blows of percussion, and stereo-imaging coexisting in a gorgeous realm of love-injected artistic expression.

A lot of music in the current climate can seem to be executed by overthinking and overpolishing. However, 'Improvisations' turns this on its head, providing a beautifully human feel across twelve, unique excerpts.

Lithe & NORA DRUM - Split EP 

Four slices of polyrhythmic bass and breaks. 

"Split EP is the result of conversation between two work colleagues swapping and sharing tracks while on shift, finding common interest in music that takes the core stylistic markers of drum and bass and breaks it down into new and exciting forms. The result is a venn diagram of Lithe and NORA DRUM’s individual sounds, often overlapping and feeding back into the other but distinctly their own. 

Lithe’s contribution is markedly lighter in tone. Opener ‘It’s Rhythm’ is an upbeat, hard drum-inflected take on polyrhythmic drum and bass with pitched percussion and wobbling sub bass. The follow up ‘Second Pavilion’ is a lengthy, progressive take on liquid drum and bass that sits somewhere between fast techno and the composition style of Forest Drive West. 

NORA DRUM takes an introspective turn on their half of the EP with both tracks allowing space for mood and texture. ‘Lungfish’ is a rolling dark d&b number where polyrhythms encourage the listener to stop worrying about meter and give in to the feel of the track, with chaotic breaks on the back end that offer little respite. Closer ‘I Can Tell That You’re Trying’ is the heaviest of the four, with a deep, weighty lumber that crescendos into distorted amens and hoover bass."

LUCRE returns with Obsidian EP, a three-track descent into the raw, uncompromising core of his sound. Across Obsidian, Tokyo 82, and Pressure Point, LUCRE delves deeper into darker techno territories where distortion, tension, and atmosphere converge into something both relentless and precise.

Continuing his evolution toward a more stripped, visceral aesthetic, Obsidian EP captures the intensity of the underground while exposing new emotional depths beneath the surface. Each track feels like a fragment of shadow, refined yet chaotic, mechanical yet human.

Obsidian EP stands as a testament to LUCRE's ongoing dedication to the craft, discipline, and spirit that define techno at its most authentic.

Artwork by Luke Riffiths

Nervous Horizon is very proud to present ‘NH VOL 3’ — the third instalment of the label’s pioneering compilation series.

Featuring a host of new additions to the label family including the likes of Tzusing, object blue, Chevel and Ehua, as well as long-term associates DJ JM and DJ Plead and bosses TSVI and Wallwork, ‘NH VOL 3’ traverses everything from reggaeton to techno, exploring some of the most upfront and abstract club sounds emanating from dance floors all over the world.

Constantly evolving, the tracklist’s shifts in tempo, rhythm and palette are reflective of TSVI and Wallwork’s borderless approach to the club that’s seen them oversee releases ranging from stark, explosive Gqom (Da Soul Boyz) to powerful, game-changing drum tracks (DJ Plead) over the last five years.

‘NH VOL 3' takes this outlook fully global; Chinese producer Tzusing throws out pulsing, peak- time techno on ‘24hr’ with TSVI, Wallwork experiments at 100bpm on ‘Hacienda’ — a track inspired by Lisbon’s Taraxxo club beats — and Italian-Ivorian producer Ehua enchants on the explosive ‘Meteora’.
