Back 2 Bellingham

'Cloud Bound' off the forthcoming 'Ripples' EP, out this Friday on Sans Absence

Noire and Akito release their debut collaborative project, a five-track EP developed over a year and a half span of sparse studio link-ups. Working in and around the limitations of the global pandemic, the body of work draws heavily on their influences of Grime, UK Funky, Jersey Club, and more, bottlenecked and filtered through the duo’s signature sounds of heavy-hitting drum & synth patterns, designed with the dance in mind during a club-free blip.

[Premiere] Outl1er - 1361 Oblivion (out now)

Next up on All Centre is Jordan-based artist Toumba with three club-ready cuts. On the title track, Toumba excels in tension-building as the bass-heavy track warps into tripped-out drums and rising drones. 

This is the first time Toumba has released on a label with his two previous releases being pushed on his own Bandcamp page. He is a master in percussion and often brings together traditional folklore from Jordan and the Arab Peninsula and contemporary UK club sounds. Toumba also has a residency on Ma4azef called Gate 4, every 4th Wednesday. 

‘115’ by Toumba will be released on the 21st January via All Centre - pre-order here: https://allcentre.bandcamp.com/album/115

Outside Out (Cocktail Party Effect Remix)

Just two years on from its inception, Kindergarten Records reaches its tenth release. Who better then, to celebrate this anniversary, than Drummy. The NYC-based producer was the first to release alongside Sha Ru on the label back in May 2020, and the intricate chaos of his production work is emblematic of the label’s commitment to maximum propulsion on the dancefloor. With Double Stop, Drummy dials up the energy while delving into a deep, dark sound palette. The EP heaves and crashes throughout, playing with texture with a maximalist approach.

“I wanted to see if I could push my usage of the stereo field while keeping things buoyant and danceable with forward motion” explains Drummy of Double Stop. Much like Kindergarten’s previous output he surfs that kinetic energy to the edge of overwhelming the listener. In that space where he stops short, Drummy conjures an alchemical potency ready to invigorate any adventurous dancefloor.

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.

Rust Surfing is a dark, atmospheric electronic track built around steady movement and subtle tension. It blends low-end grit with drifting melodies, creating a calm but uneasy vibe that sits between ambient and industrial. It’s meant for late-night listening, headphones on, letting the texture carry you.
