Listen to "Ziplock Weaponry" by NIQH taken from "Familiar Rift" out digitally and on limited compact disc via Plasma Sources on 29th September

Bandcamp: https://plasmasources.bandcamp.com/album/familiar-rift

Following on from J-Shadow and Hypna’s A2I, Plasma Sources offers up Familiar Rift, the debut EP from NIQH (pronounced ‘NEE-KEEH’). Weaving together grains of garage, ambient and club, the release places a heavy emphasis on sound design like its predecessor to create an immersive world-building experience. 

The EP is a sharp juxtaposition to the label debut - where A2I was dark and heavy, Familiar Rift feels light and skittering. What links these two releases together is an emphasis on sci-fi, world building and high-fideilty, laser sharp sonics. Through these shared aesthetics, Plasma Sources intends to fully cement itself as an imprint which will not simply be tied to one sound or genre. 

NIQH’s process is determined by chaotic serendipity - Familiar Rift was fashioned into shape from a colliding together of captured sounds and experiences, before being assembled into new, mutated forms. Heavily inspired by the work of Moebius and the visual style present in Aeon Flux and many 80s/90s anime, the body of work here represents a dynamic, ever-shifting environment of sonic contortion. 

Despite the chaos at play, the release still feels focused to NIQH. “I finally feel like I’ve got to a point with my music making where ideas feel aligned, concentrated, focused, in a way they didn’t before. Each of the tracks here fuses the chaotic serendipity I love with the notion of keeping the core musical ideas and patterns simple. I’m trying to marry these two pretty disparate notions into a concentrated, highly detailed style of music-making which feels more like a flowing environment than a series of musical actions.”

[Premiere] NIQH - Ziplock Weaponry (Plasma Sources)

Before I start releasing new music next year, I have to let go of one thing first. 

Not many people know, but last year in April I lost all my project files (thanks Dropbox backup!). My entire project folder, and everything that I worked on for the past three years were instantly wiped out. This included what would have been my second album. Written during the pandemic, It was not yet finished but I had almost 25 demos to pick from.

At first I was deeply upset and sad for days. Eventually I started to get over it: I was never fully into the album – I liked it but also had my doubts, that it wasn’t as strong as my first album – I didn’t know how it would’ve been received, as it sounded like nothing else I’d released. So I put it aside, tried to move on with my life, eventually forgot about it.

Seven months later, my mum was taken into biopsy for suspected stomach cancer. During that time I stumbled upon that forgotten album. I remember listening to it on repeat after all those months; it helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. 

Fortunately, my mum has recovered now, but this incident made me realise that this project can’t sit on my hard drive forever. In these trying times, I believe it's worth sharing this music with the world, hoping it can bring some positivity and comfort to those who listen.

So here it is, Stella Remota. What was for me a light guiding me out of the darkness. What would have been my 2nd album, now for you all to enjoy. 

Thanks for your support, as always. Lots of music coming in 2024.

PS: Bandcamp Friday is in two days. All the money generate from this release on the day will go towards Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)

« Morphers » is a rattling 3 tunes split that was forged between French producer Flore and San Francisco’s Only Now. The release represents the unwritten language shared between both friends over the past 7 years, with their affinity for propulsive percussion workouts and livewire bass music. After releasing on the POLAAR label for years, Only Now and Flore finally met in person for a collab long awaited.

All Centre kick off the new year with a two tracker from label mainstay Holloway. Following a busy 2023 for the London-based artist, holding down a residency on Rinse FM, tearing up parties around the world and launching his own label Waylo, Holloway starts the year as he means to go on with two incendiary club tracks.

Beans opens in atmospheric fashion with lush pads and dubbed-out sirens held together by enthrallingly syncopated percussion. The structure then strips down to allow a wistful, jazz-inflected theme to come to the fore, deftly complimented by a bouncing, descending bassline and a deep kick pattern. Lightly swung drums give an edge of UKG stylings to this deep, introspective cut.

On the flip Holloway ramps up the tempo with Trinco. Soulful chords fuse the sound of 90s DnB into precise, stepping percussion. The track launches into another dimension at the drop, driven by techy drums, growling basslines and warped vocal samples. The track breathes with the reintroduction of the atmospheric pads, before the bassweight emerges again with renewed force.

Beans is available across all digital platforms from the 12th January 2024.
