As if he were in a strange recurring dream, each night he awoke at the same time, disturbed by the crashing waves below his lodgings. No matter the season, as soon as night fell the sea seemed to have a mind of its own; murky black depths that threatened to drag you beneath. But it wasn't just the water that stirred a fear deep inside him, something else strange was at play here...

Rinse France resident Clad launches his new label, GRID Records, into the world, with a compilation called 'Improvisations'. Like the name suggests, he brings on board friends and affiliates, including E-Unity, Realitycheck, Troy Gunner, C.Coiffure and Théo Muller, to deliver tracks that explore new sonic paths and divert from their normal output. Like the concept itself, Clad took an instinctive approach to putting the compilation together, not overthinking or over-polishing its final format, instead appreciating the contributions as they are: "beautifully human".

Premiere: Weith - Dynamics Of Flow

All is clear. Energy levels high. Speed is vision. The voice repeats. Area code +41. Are we able to purify and fry and eventually purifry the attention? Don’t skip, man. This is Skipman. We know what to do now. Big racer vibe. Signals all over. Full force throttle."

Rushing us headlong into a vorticist maelstrom of hard-edged drum stutter and polychromatic synth fragmentation, Sansibar sophomore long-player for Kalahari Oyster Cult - “Sans Musique” - tackles the very essence of post-trancey, breaks-loaded UK blends with unabashed joy to wreak havoc on his path. Throughout seven tracks oozing burnt kerosene and depleted uranium residue merged with a hint of sacred incense, Sansibar deploys his extra-wide vision for the present and future of dance music.

“Scully” attacks pedal to the metal, hi-intensity bass onslaughts and knee-buckling breaks roaring as the groove slings us at bullet-speed into a hot, narrow barrel of floor-focused aggression. 

Hailing from Helsinki, Finland, Sansibar is a non-pareil cosmic traveller - also producer, resident DJ at Kaiku and Post Bar and wave agitator on IDA Radio and EOS Radio - whose genre-unbound sound credentials for the likes of Kalahari Oyster Cult, Natural Sciences, Émotsiya, Darknet, Avoidance et al. have helped establish as one of today’s most intriguing talents in the European scene.

If you see a @WarningBerlin record in a record bin, you're looking at a black and yellow mark of quality rave material. From their inception right up to date, each release marks their expanding role as part of the German capital's nightlife scene. Their next release, 'WAR1204' from JCow (@JoshCowgill), sees the Warning train rolling on, locked on the same great rails.

This 4-track séance is mainly made of uplifiting, spaced out electro tracks, some rolling along with subtle or acid basslines, lush pads and gently subdued detroitish chords. Die Orakel leave it at your sonic discretion, whether the catalogue number references the year 1996.

i'm sad i know ya

Everything that’s happening right now in Australia is terrifying... With so much loss already, increasingly dangerous weather conditions and a useless government there is a lingering feeling of sadness and anxiety in all of us now and for the days to come. Inspired by the ways of others I have decided to use my music as a way to help. Against The Flames consists of 4 unreleased tracks with 100% of the profits going towards the ‘Fire Relief Fund for the First Nations Communities’. Stay safe and to those who can please continue to donate to those who need it.

[ST001] White Afghani - Elyx EP (feat. Turk Turkelton & DNAonDNA)

X’trapolis is under threat... 

Word is spreading fast that the powerful and long-feared Agamid lizard known by many as Reptilius has been sighted building a dangerous army on the outskirts of Squamata, exhausting the forests natural resources and leaving previously thriving, culturally significant and beautiful areas decrepit and lifeless in a greedy, capitalistic move to gain control. 

Completely unaware of this, Reptant returns home to X’trapolis after spending 5 years conducting extensive research on Earth’s unique analogue technology. 

With his esteemed Lizard Tech Militia stuck back on Earth, Reptant finds himself alone and must seek help from the infamous Gecko Force if he wishes to succeed in protecting his home. 

The Gecko Force are a lounge of superior prehistoric native Gecko’s rumoured to have been some of the only survivors from the brutal Agamid colonisation of X’trapolis which occurred many generations ago. 

With their power and extensive knowledge of X’trapolis, the planet and all of its delicate and precious lifeforms just might stand a chance... 

Return To Planet X’trapolis was written, recorded and mixed by Reppi T. Lizrd AKA Reptant at Squamata Studios, X’trapolis 2019-2020.

Reptant 'Return To Planet X'trapolis' // Album Previews // LKR010

Sounds from another universe, let me take you deeper into Squamata, where I was born...

Taken from the album 'Return To Planet X'trapolis' out now on LKR Records

I had a lot of fun putting this track together over quite a long time, working in the triplet grid this track can be played perfectly in sync with either 100bpm or 150bpm tracks. The main break and some of the kick drums were created from one of my favourite ever natural sounds: the sound of a frozen lake thawing and snapping in spring time.. There are some other found sounds in there as well but it was also the first time I was able to use the clone of my favourite synths of all time the Syncussion Sy-1m.

Pictures like the one attached that belong to the 'Journal Of Experimental Biology' (https://jeb.biologists.org/) as well as BBC's ©Paul D. Stewart have been used as a huge source of inspiration along the way whilst writing the Album. I thought i'd share some of these as for this particular track they I feel they're a perfect match for the sound.

Enjoy!
