Morten Sorenson - Start Something (40 Thieves Remix)

London-born Visionist, (Louis Carnell,) has rapidly ascended the ranks of producers and DJs at the forefront of modern club music. Quickly categorized as one of the leaders of the international new school of Grime, However, Visionist looks beyond Grime and into the unknown, crafting a heavenly opus continuing on from his critically acclaimed "I'm Fine" on Lit City Trax. The outcome is his utterly original take on this comprehensive club music spectrum of the past two decades -- hyper-minimal and brooding while remaining ethereal. Visionist's tracks on I’m Fine sound vast, as if mapping vivid, emotional landscapes. His approach to production is introspective, with an eye for detail and an ear for tension, focused on opening up space rather than cluttering it.

Visionist maintains his own record label, Lost Codes, which while rooted in Grime, is centered around the genre-breaking imagination and inventiveness of his artists (SD Laika, Acre, Saga, FIlter Dread, Bloom). Avoiding looking back in time to recreate the past, now he's helping to usher in the new vanguard. Like Visionist, these artists are creating an identity true to themselves.

On I'm Fine, Part II -- the final EP in a twofold installment on Lit City Trax -- Visionist explores each of the stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance -- coming to terms with loss and suffering by deconstructing and rebuilding the past into a myriad of pensive musical styles. 

I'm Fine, Part II attempts to offer resolution for the grief stricken listener, and closure to some of the problems explored on I'm Fine. The opening track "Eye Try" opens the flood gates. An extended intro, coupled with reverb-dripping vocal chops, a heart stopping reese-bass drops into the tune, eventually unravelling into a plaintive female chant.

"More Pain" remains skeletal and hyper-minimal like it's predecessor "Pain" -- the songs call back and forth to each other. Resourceful as ever, Visionist recycles the same vocal to create a moving, skeletal and largely beatless composition. The songs stays in motion,  propelled forward by a divine choir-like lead and bass stabs trailed by sparse, haunting percussion.

"The Way" starts stark and drops into complex, pulsing bass, tied in with heartbreaking cries of "Without You". While not a Grime track, the melodies coupled with the tough bass, are reminiscent of the forward thinking ethic of producers from the days before Grime's inception.

In quick contrast, "First Love" is a direct ode to the Grime of Visionist's youth. This most percussion heavy track on the whole record yet the emphasis somehow remains on an overwhelming, chopped vocal melody. The syncopated beat and bass drop and urge you to move. This is soon followed by two sharply contrasting bass leads, bringing this constantly evolving track to its peak.

Playing off a UK Funky groove, "Acceptance" once again is a forward thinking take on this undeniably British sound. Immediately the kick drum leads you into more complex polyrhythms between the shakers, low end and kicks. Another concise track, Visionist gets directly to the point. "Acceptance" is a unique club banger, using his own distinct palette.

I'm Fine, Part II closes with "Something Old, Something New", which was Visionist's earliest foray in this manner. Beginning with a spacious pulse, what has become his signature vocal chops, swiftly begin to unravel into progressive, ethereal harmonies. The track culminates with the most direct vocal. "Make me float" rings out, concluding the EP and suggesting a resolution to the grief portrayed throughout the "I'm Fine" series -- a new beginning.

With I'm Fine, Part II, Visionist creates something far greater than the sum of its parts. The record is jarring and undeniably British.  I'm Fine Part II explores heavy vocal manipulation, appropriating samples into powerful melodic tools. The record is an ode to Visionist’s dark musical past and a love note to his bright future.

Whither is fled the visionary gleam?
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?
       -Wordsworth

@jarradcleofe and I met while digging for new tunes on Soundcloud.  We began chatting after discovering each other's work, and soon after, an early version of “Avocado Pop” surfaced from Jarrad.  We each started adding our own accents to the track, after 3 or 4 renditions the project was complete.  The name came one day when Jarrad was scrolling through Instagram and saw a friend making avocado popsicles.  His immediate thoughts were, 1) that looks amazing and, 2) that would make a great song name!  I made the art myself after hearing that story and now we have "Avocado Pop"!

Atlantis / Saints marks the return of Atomnation boss @applescal. The two-track EP harkens back to a sound early Applescal fans might be familiar with. This time, however, the sound has evolved beyond its electronica beginnings and it's club centered sound that came hereafter.

Watch the video for "Sinking Ship" by filmmaker Sam Mason: vimeo.com/311945364

The lore had begun with a chance encounter that led to an experiment in watercolor sounds—a translucent canvas in which dreams appear. But with the final ripple in the pond came a 3 year silence.

Now pared down to three, the color palette has shifted. Where there was once Monet, we now find a sort of Matisse. In place of sun-stained Indie inclinations and shadowed self-portraits, dreamy Post-Pop willows through verbose vistas.

“Sinking Ship” is an album by YGT and a short film by Sam Mason, available starting 15 February 2019 from Youngbloods & King Deluxe.

Nickodemus' last album "A Long Engagement" was released May 2018 and made its way around the World’s listening devices & dancefloors via dj’s and an extensive tour. Now he's back with a remix album that takes the original recordings back into the clubs with slow rolling remixes from both Chancha Via Circuito & Lagartijeando as well as soulful house mixes from DJ Spinna, Pablo Sanchez & Sammy Bananas. Bosq (Whiskey Barons) takes his mix of “Livin' Your Dream” to heavy afro-reggae disco, while Sagaan (Andreas Saag) pushes “The Crow” into deep Detroit analog territories. Also weighing in are Umoja, who strip down “Mystic Molay” featuring Innov Gnawa, and The Spy from Cairo, with a cosmic electro-disco version of “Inmortales” featuring Fémina. The overall global fusion that Nickodemus is known for was taken to another level into the clubs by these carefully chosen producers.

ATTENTION: Full frequency range speakers or headphones are essential and a SubPac is highly recommended for listening to "Shaolin Dub" 

Check the "Shaolin Dub" release party at NuBlu 151 in New York City, Friday August 2, with Subatomic Sound System and special guests and also the live video from the Subatomic tour with Julian Marley featuring Emch on the dub mix, Troy on the sax, and reggae percussion legend Larry McDonald on congas: subatomicsound.com/subatomic-sound-system-shaolin-dub-release-party-friday-aug-2-nublu-new-york-city/ 

Shaolin Dub was written and recorded by Subatomic in the downtime during the pre-production of the "Super Ape Returns To Conquer" album with Lee Scratch Perry and inspired by the mostly instrumental African jazz influenced dub reggae on the original Super Ape album but re-contextualized in a Subatomic production environment that includes both analog and digital recording & mixing technology. Additional live instrument recording was done in Brooklyn at the Bridge Studio and is documented in the EMC educational video with Subatomic Sound System on live dub mixing. "Shaolin Dub" has been performed live throughout the 2017-2019 tours but never released until now. 

Subatomic Sound System is back on tour in USA & Mexico Sept 19-29 with Lee "Scratch" Perry. More on that and additional upcoming releases at subatomicsound.com

LONE - NOT SEEING IS A FLOWER EP REACHES BEYOND REALITY

Lone continues to thrive on his newly established label, Ancient Astronauts, with its second physical release of the year, the ‘Not Seeing Is a Flower’.

Steering towards a new studio album from the Nottingham-based producer, the three-track EP takes its name from a Japanese idiom (見ぬが花), which suggests that reality cannot compete with imagination. Lapping at varied shades of the psyche, ‘Glyphic’ kicks things off with a heavyweight tribal techno cut inspired by Cutler’s experiences at Bass Coast festival this summer, fusing 303 acid with sweltering piano lines and otherworldly vocals for a transcendental dancefloor experience. The senses are heightened with title-track ‘Not Seeing Is A Flower’, which reaches beyond reality with slowly spoken samples effortlessly melting into a lush ambient techno backdrop reminiscent of early work from The Future Sound Of London, Orbital, and The Black Dog. Finally, ‘Boketto’ sees Lone embrace the same tone of downtempo trip-hop detailed on his albums ‘Lemurian’ and ‘Reality Testing’ with rolling percussion and meditative chimes drawing close on some of the producer’s most lavish work to date.
