Not A Pessimist EP

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.

DRILLPREMIERE: E-Unity - Diva Encounter [Grid]

BSC002’s debut EP from 9TRANE came shattering through with an installment of hard, stripped back UK Techno and Bass with great response from the community. Basilica now moves deeper and darker into the realms of heavy and complex percussion based dance music, with this installment, BSC003. Coming from Australia, Basilica’s newest family member - Lithe.

Lithe is quickly rising the ranks with a signature style combining complex hardware percussion rhythms creating rolling and sharp grooves layered with dark techno ambiences and spaces.
The Not a Pessimist EP is a journey of intensity, rise and fall and journey. The pace of each track is set from the get go yet as each piece progresses you find your body moving, changing and rising and falling with each subtle element added and taken away so smoothly it hits you on a subconscious level.

Lithe’s sharp and relentless percussion work engulfs you with push and pull, energy, space and power and, in turn, transforms the listener by hypnotically grooving through the flawless percussion, combinations and strength.

Lithe's work has gained attention and support from labels such as Early Reflex, Flood and Enhancer. Expect to see much more of Lithe both in Australia and worldwide.

Sharp, pounding percussion, with layer upon layer adding more vibe, more groove and more rhythm into this web of heavy driven sound. Drawing for a mixture of sonic textures from dancehall grooves and hardstyle synths this unrelenting blend of drums and atmospherics fully entrances you in a mesmerising plane of sonics. This is definitely one to lose yourself in at 3am.

Emma DJ b2b HANAH - 22 octobre 2021

Pour son émission mensuelle du mois d'avril, @bienvenueauclub invite @soumayapheline. 

DJ basée à Bruxelles, active sur la scène locale depuis 2006,  notamment résidente sur @Kioskradio, ces selectas respirent une excellence déconsertante. Elle n'est pas là pour mettre la foule à l'aise mais plutôt constamment jouer avec ses attentes, en combinant diverses sous-genres de la musique éléctronique.  Sans jamais vraiment nous donner le kick, le climax ou la respiration dont on pensait avoir besoin. Lourd en basses, breaks, melodies hypnotisantes et vocales rythmiques, les sets de Soumaya distordes et déranges d'une façon étrangement satisfaisante.

@saud (säwdā', saudade, sud) colors the vitalist legacy of hardcore continuum's leftfield and breakbeat patterns with hyper-modern, iridescent gradients, gravitating towards a contemporary, post-techno form of rhythmic psychedelia. 

Alongside Dorian Fuk, he is the founder of @sutra_club - Belgrade club night and radio show focused on future-oriented electronic music that has brought artists such as Aïsha Devi, Lakker, Mumdance, Batu, E-Saggila, Peder Mannerfelt, Minor Science, Eomac, Arad, Jonas Yamer, STAANA & N/OBE to Belgrade. 

SAUD plays with great intensity across different genres, rhythms and tempos, bringing special focus on dynamics, physicality and unpredictability.

Besides holding a SUTRA residency at @drugstorebeograd and playing clubs across the country, 2019. had him play in Bologna, Munich, Istanbul and Ljubljana, as well as playing his first Boiler Room in Drugstore Belgrade, while 2020. began with a NYE rave in the desert outskirts of Cairo followed by the 1st bday rave of SUTRA and a Scandinavian debut in Oslo.
