Lobster Distribution - Week 10

Label head SPF 50 returns to Professional Music with a five-track EP of propulsive, dub-infused material. This record delves deep into our moody, atmosphere-driven take on the dance floor, undulating between straight four-on-the-floor energy, heavy breakbeat science and euphoric ambience. Swung layers of rhythm gel with misty chords and 808 bass pressure, riding the line between 2-step excitement and hypnotic, long-form arrangements. This is introspective body music, steeped in the sonic worlds of UK bass, looped 90’s techno and grainy dub.

Release Date: April 23rd 2021

PROF003 // SPF 50 - Sumimasen

Northern powerhouse Perseus Traxx is on spaced out form with this four-tracker celebrating ancient Greek mysticism.

Basslines as deep as sunken treasure, acid that’s worthy of the psychedelic origins of its name, and synths that spin off into infinity make up an uncompromising, mesmerising EP.

As the sample on ‘Star Destroyer’ proclaims, “It’s all about the soul.”

Bardo:Basho - Alinea [Budget Cuts]
Cat No: BCV004
Format: 12” Clear Vinyl LP
Genre: Ambient, Experimental, Avant-garde
Expected Shipping: April 16, 2021

Budget Cuts is excited to share Portland, OR based experimental composer Bardo:Basho’s second full-length album Alinea. Alinea is meant to evoke the idea of a non-linear history. “a” meaning not/without and “Linea” a feminine embodiment of linearity. The concept is derived from a personal history and identity which feel fragmented and this motif is reflected throughout the album. Alinea incorporates eclectic compositional and timbral styles held together by ethereal vocal performances. Expansive, intimate, and hypnotic, Alinea is a meditation on vulnerability.

Kirsten Thom started performing as Bardo:Basho while studying music at the University of Puget Sound. Bardo:Basho’s work fuses classical structure with experimental signal processing to create boundless otherworldly soundscapes that range from drone to techno. Bardo:Basho has shared the stage with visionaries like Jlin, Laurel Halo, Actress, and Yu Su while performing at festivals like Decibel and Upstream or at Kremwerk’s influential Research club night.

All tracks Written and Produced by Kirsten Thom
Recorded in Seattle, WA by Travis Shetter
and in Philadelphia, PA by Zack Hanni
Mastered by Ten Eight Seven in London U.K
Distributed Worldwide by Lobster Distribution

After a thrilling first joint effort, Lobster Theremin team up with the breakbeat scientists at Globex Corp for another collaborative EP release. Stacked from top to bottom with sizzling jungle cuts from top to bottom, this one is guaranteed to heat things up!

Dwarde & Tim Reaper open things up with the airy roller Hydraulics paving the way for DJ Sports’ warped remix of one of their previously released collaborations. The rugged-yet-ethereal sounds of Richard Harrow’s Aftermath open the flip, before the breakneck Whip by Merph & Mantissa brings this to a tearout close.

‘LT-GLOBE-XX2’ drops Friday 30th April.

BUY RELEASE

LT-GLOBE-XX2 // Various Artists - LT-GLOBE-XX2

Bristol producer Boulderhead combines his affinity to minimalism with a range of influences across the club spectrum on Super Portal.

The minimal, breakbeat flaked Metamaterial opens before the stripped-out acid of the aptly named Wanna Go To A Party that evokes its title. On the flip, Super Portal combines broken bristol techno rhythms with a hypnotic driving synth while skeletal stepper Humons combines muted chords with skippy drums. Closing proceedings is Grooverider, a rumbling roller that succeeds in making a lot out of few elements.

‘Super Portal’ drops on Friday 30th April, via Running Out Of Steam.
