Undesignated Remixes

Premiere: dgoHn ‘NinnyHammer (Djrum Remix)’

https://dgohn-music.bandcamp.com/album/undesignated-remixes

Undesignated remixes is an expansive project containing 12 remixes of tracks from dgoHn’s iconic 2020 full-length by some choice artists from in and around the Love Love sphere. Remixes that take dgoHn’s unique razor-sharp original productions and send them through a loop and round the twist, some stripped down, some messed up, most but not all maintaining the speedier tempos that dgoHn likes to work around. The result is a collection of seriously futuristic electronic music with some stylistic leanings towards labels like braindance or drumfunk or jungle but completely genre-eluding as a whole, reshaped from the minerals of the original LP by some absolute dons of their craft.

Opening the album Equinox does a fantastic job highlighting the lushness of ‘Puppet’ layering sky-high sunshine pads before sliding into Meat Beat Manifesto’s heavy sci-fi acid dub version of ‘Daisy Takes Two’. A woozy remix of ‘Lucky Gonk’ by Macc & dgoHn marks the first new material from them as a duo since ’09 and Wisp also makes a rare appearance bringing his inimitable post-rephlexian vibes on an agonisingly wonderful, melody-heavy remix of 'Electryon'. Skee Mask’s choice of remixing ‘Robin’s Windmill’ turns the original into a bundle of writhing rhythms organically unfolding with swelling ambient tones. Homegrown heroes Rognvald & Scrase both opt for pumped up post-breakcore in unconventional time signatures while Djrum emphatically provides the LP’s dose of peak jungle choppage, tempering the drum breaks of ‘Ninnyhammer’ with a blistering amen. Also featured on the LP are crisp and beefy drum workouts courtesy of Coco Bryce and Forest Drive West, visceral and apocalyptic half-time bass from Activia Benz affiliated duo Quavis and virtuosic noir-jazz tearout from fellow East-Anglian Carl Brown.

BUY LINK: https://benpest.bandcamp.com/album/cancel-couture
Label: Love Love Records (https://soundcloud.com/loveloverecords)
https://soundcloud.com/benpest
Release Date: 7th July 2023

Love Love continues the LOVLTD series with a follow up from Bristol based producer Ben Pest. In a similar vein to his previous 12" on Love Love, ‘On The Three’, it’s an all out techno affair with 4 high powered tracks geared for destroying dancefloors.

Eponymous track ‘Cancel Couture’ is driven by a hard four to the floor kick and thick squelchy acid line with a percussion workout for maximum groove while ‘My First Rodeo’ is a tearing stomper of a track, reminiscent of 90’s warehouse hard techno with huge sub bass pounding in an off-kilter rhythm.

The flip-side kicks off with ‘PP Breaks’ which, as its name might suggest, is a breakbeat track with a particularly rubbery electro bassline and hard snare, providing an elastic party experience.

Track 4 is ‘Bad B’ which provides a raucous highlight to the EP - A rough chunky acid hardware jam with deep bass and rich drum machine rhythms, adorned with stuttering fills and a tidy 303 that bleeds tightly in the mix.

A real stormer of a 12’’ that captures some of the magic Ben Pest has been known for performing in his live PA

Eraserhead DJ Set at Varispeed Socialz 29

Drumfunk/braindance don dgoHn (John Cunnane) returns to Love Love for a collaborative 4 track EP, ‘Talk To The Planets’, alongside avant-garde experimentalist Danish friend Oliver Duckert. Oliver is an electronic evangelist and founding member of chameleonic cyberjazz group Badun, created in Århus, Denmark, but often found tuning in and out of the space-time hyperlink. John who needs no introduction at this point makes his first appearance on the label since widely-lauded 2020 album ‘Undesignated Proximate’ and follow-up 2022 remix project which featured an array of peers such as Skee Mask, Djrum, Meat Beat Manifesto and Equinox. 

What results here is a bubbling platter of otherworldly sound design full of warmth (and the slickest drum-work going!) that fully imbibes both artists’ individual songwriting sensibilities, striking a curious balance between organic improvisation and meticulously detailed programming. 

Sonically the EP could be described as hi-resolution psychedelic drum n bass as much as it could alien future-jazz, detailed and rich with mad grooves just beneath the surface. Structurally the tracks are unpredictable but not jarring, with a free-flowing quality and a pace that feels like meandering at lightspeed. Way too immersive for casual listening, this is music for getting lost in the stars. Like using arcane beat science at a ruffneck drum circle to astral project through the multiverse.

dgoHn & Badun - Talk To The Planets [LOVWAX12 CLIPS]

Love Love host a collaborative release by two of the freshest contemporary Avon producers, Best Pest and Kursa. Kursa (also one half of S.Murk) has built a notable following in the UK as well as in the USA, playing out often at big stateside events with his own style of tight, maximalist bass music - think Tipper, Eprom, Noisia etc… Ben Pest is no stranger to Love Love with 2 previous solo releases under his belt, best known for his crunchy techno & electro and ripping hardware live-sets. Here they come together for a 5 track genre-hopping EP, each flexing their respective production sensibilities, splicing elements of dubstep, grime, hardcore & garage together, along with a healthy dose of multi-dimensional sound design, to make some of the noisiest modern dance music going.

Opening track ‘Hide Rate’ takes the shape of mutated future garage that glides forwards effortlessly before breaking down midway with expansive sub-nautical melodies. ‘Lard Style’ invites fellow Bristolian musician Fat Dave (Scheme Boy) along for an absolutely slamming acid breaks affair with one of the cheekiest grooves to ever bother a subwoofer. The A-side closes with ‘Having An Obnoxious Moment’, a furious clattering ‘ardcore piece with heavy nods to early noughties grime that pushes the dial way past 11. A track so hard it’ll knock your Kangol off and make you wonder what year it is. The B-Side focuses more on half-time rhythms with ‘Big Square Wheels’ providing more than enough grit & glitch for any extraterrestrial bass addict, whilst closer ‘Totally Kippered’ explores some seriously skronked out, spooky low frequencies.

SA 6/304/1 Tape 2 Part 4: Poem 'Never Been to Colchester' from Essex Ballads

'Jehovah's Wetness' taken from the LP 'Gentle Persuaders'.
12" available to order on bandcamp: https://bit.ly/2SJ0MRv

‘Gentle Persuaders’ is the Love Love debut from London based neo-noise-jazz outfit Sly & The Family Drone. In the form of a four track long player, Sly vomit forth a smooth serving of curious and clattering noise not devoid of fun. 

With the ingredients of shattering baritone saxophone, splurges of analogue noise, rolling drum derangements and snarling feedback it is immediately clear that these formidable noise-mongers have honed their methods of ear-attack adeptly. Textural spaces are peppered with bouts of densely packed controlled-chaos creating a tension that builds almost imperceptibly until the crushing pay-off that comes with the final track. 

The politest of bludgeonings, ‘Gentle Persuaders’ has a real sense of cohesion and style, at times subtle and at others shudderingly direct. 

With their unusual and interactive live shows, the group cut their teeth stunning the audiences of punk and noise scenes across the UK and Europe. Now, Sly & The Family Drone present their most complete recording to date; a rush of sheer ataxia ushering in a new age of noise.

Written, performed and recorded by Sly.
