Festivus season is upon us (Seinfeld fans, you know what we’re talking about) and it seems like good tunes are snowing here at Bolting Bits HQ. The Glasgow crew behind Craigie Knowes is full speed these last months. Releasing excellent music consistently since their start in 2016 the scottishs are planning to postpone your end-of-the-year-parties until mid-january with this new release.

Meet TEXTASY, mysterious producer with two EPs already out pleasing dance music snobs this year, a certain taste for syncopated drum patterns and man of the hour with this solo EP. Following the path established by previous releases on Craigie Knowes Textasy creates hybrids consisting of experimentations with 90's rave culture and detroit electro codes.
Starting with A1, he mixes rhythms straight out of Motor City, a pairing bassline and a angelic choir coming from what must be an old digital synthesiser. Throughout the track a deep voice repeats an psalm you can only agree to: bass and techno.

A2, relevantly named Blow Your Head, is the lovechild of an old floppy disk (you know, those containing samples that were circulating in the nineties) and a subwoofer. Oscillating between a 303 bassline, pulsating pads, incomprehensible vocal samples modulated to the max and UK signature sound fx, the track tries to go everywhere and, surprisingly, it works. Let's not forget the breakbeats loop supporting the electro rhythmics. An explosive way to end the first half of the release.

Flip to the other side and you will be welcomed by Eternal Gun, a fast piece of what starts like a jungle inspired tune, switches to a UK Hardcore piano track with a slamming beat and then makes a cocktail out of those two portions for the rest of the track. Pure speed.

Last but not least, the track waiting at the end is the one we are pleased to premiere today. I'm The Needle takes a bit of the pressure left by the previous track off and offers us what is probably the most effective tune out of the bunch. Reminding you to put the needle on the record over a jungle break, the track then exhibits classic rave piano chords, the most famous (and satisfying) sample of all dance music history and an arpeggiating bassline. You will find the same weight in the kick and subs, the same electro-ish pattern hiding in there than in the rest of the record. With many of the same qualities it has the advantage of being a bit simpler, making the track more efficient and self-empowered.

You know where we’re going with this. This EP is a no-brainer and should be preordered right now.

PREMIERE : TEXTASY - I'm The Needle

Fresh from her 'Raw Silk Uncut Wood' LP for Latency, Laurel Halo switches focus directly to the dance floor on this new collaborative EP with Livity Sound regular Hodge. The culmination of a series of recording sessions in Berlin, the pair have produced a record that burns with the energy and dynamics their respective DJ sets are known for, rounding out the year for the label in style.

On his debut solo LP ‘Utility’, Barker [@voltek] turns his focus toward melding experimentation and dancefloor pragmatism with the psychology behind the musical decision making process.

‘Utility’ is a playful but non-ironic musical approach to a whole spectrum of utilitarian and transhumanist ideas: from models for quantifying pleasure and “gradients of bliss” to abolishing suffering for sentient beings (not just people) through the ethical use of drugs and nanotechnology. Over nine tracks, Barker’s vision ebbs and flows through waves of deeply psychedelic musical vignettes; free-floating and futuristic melodies and rhythms as targeted brain stimulation.
