Each track on this EP could represent the soundscape of one of the many levels of Donkey Kong Country.

Feel the frenzy of the forest take your breath away.

DJ Rolow - Didn't Want To

Embodying the mutant nature of club music in the modern age, Cocktail Party Effect comes bowling into Sneaker Social Club with a taut, wiry sound which joins dots and melts barriers at will. 

The brainchild of Charlie Baldwin, who previously recorded as Kasket, Cocktail Party Effect has been forged over the past six years through heavy bursts of sound design anchored by soundsystem dynamics veering between 140 and 160 tempo zones. From 2020’s self-titled LP on Tectonic to drops on Osiris, Cold, Transfigured Time and more, Baldwin’s deftly avoided allegiance to any specific scene and instead deployed shock-inducing gear for DJs with fortitude to test on their crowds. 

On SNKRX010 the commitment to physicality is prevalent across all four tracks, veering from the deadly broken beat barbs and artful fills of ‘Racka’ to the splintered breakbeat rushes and stop-start aggravation of ‘C.A.T.C.R’. ‘Grims8’ is perhaps the purest manifestation of the Cocktail Party sound though, all monochrome rigour with the contrast turned way up, powered by steely, gleaming rhythmic impulses and writhing with dense layers of sonic matter. Watch out for the glutinous bass snarl of ‘58bethe7’ though, which slams in sideways with an unabashed rave instinct crushed through a post-modern production lens. 

Baldwin may be operating on his own terms, but on this 12” he demonstrates versatility to match his originality, resulting in four inventive dance destroyers tooled to bridge between styles, sets and scenes.

Pour cette seconde sortie de l’année, nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir le parisien Jumboclat, membre de l’équipe SeekSickSound et feu Exploration Music.

Auteur d’un premier EP solo sur l’écurie de Flore POLAAR et auteur du très remarqué ‘Tell Me’ sur Vernacular Records, il est également versé dans l’art du footwork comme en témoignent ses productions sorties sur Le French Work.

Ce ‘Cloverleaf EP’ concentre l’essence de ce qu’il fait de mieux : du 2-step profond et émotionnel de ‘B With U’ aux breakbeats acérés de ‘Timeslip’, la production est méticuleuse, tantôt sombre et tantôt empreinte de nostalgie, entre hommage aux musiques et sonorités caribéennes et sound design futuriste. Pour compléter l’EP, Stacktrace signe un remix dub mental et oppressant du morceau titre de la sortie.

For the second release of the year, we’re delighted to welcome Paris-based Jumboclat, member of SeekSickSound and Exploration Music (RIP).

Author of a first solo release on Flore’s POLAAR imprint and producing the acclaimed ‘Tell Me’ released on Vernacular Records, he is also well versed in footwork, as demonstrated by his tunes on Le French Work.

His ‘Cloverleaf EP’ is a concentrate of everything he does best : from the emotional an deep 2-step ‘B With U’ to the razor sharp breakbeats of ‘Timeslip’, the prouction is meticulous, deep and melancholic, an ode to the carribean sounds and cultures blended with futuristic sound design. To round off the EP, Stacktrace delivers a psychedelic and oppressive dub remix of the title track.

esta semana hemos invitado a la self professed bass enjoyer Emilia Grima, DJ y amante de los conceptos (y los ritmos) que están rotos. su ciudad natal es Gijón aunque reside en Madrid, ciudad que está agitando con sus sets.

en este mix podemos encontrar géneros musicales que definen su estilo y diggeo actual. moviéndose entre lo más junglist a lo más dubby, nos regala un viaje mental por el bass y los sonidos psicodélicos. 
con referencias de artistas tan apreciados como Bukkha o Homelander
ella misma nos dice: “compartir música de alguien que te muestra su feedback es todo un honor” 

prepárate para experimentar una aventura a las entrañas del festival refractor

~~~

this week we’ve invited self-professed bass enjoyer Emilia Grima, DJ and lover of all things broken (beats, concepts, etc). born in Gijón, she now resides in Madrid, where she continues to tear up the scene with her entrancing sets. 

this mix is an offering of genres and styles that define Emilia’s current tastes and digging habits, moving between more junglist elements to more dubby ones and making for a mental concoction of bass and psychedelic sounds. with odes to loved artists Bukkha and Homelander, she tells us that “being able to share music from artists who give you feedback themselves is a true honour”.  

get ready for an experimental journey through the insides of Refractor festival.
