For Dyslecta's debut on vinyl, and follow up to his contribution to Out of Sorts' inaugural VA, he serves up four slabs of rugged, UK techno, with influences from the early swamp sound, 2000s hard groove and classic tech house. Thresher kicks off the release with a high-energy, claustrophobic affair topped off with rattling percussion and synths which turn your head inside out. Available on a limited run of 100 vinyl and digital worldwide from 19th August, via the Out of Sorts bandcamp.

Since his last outing on Control Freak with the sold-out Bunzunkunzun EP, Syz has built a reputation as one of the UKs most distinctive club producers, weaving playful, percussive techno with soundsystem-driven bass music.

Much of this acclaim started with 2020’s Mindforms - a self-released mini-LP which saw the young producer step away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one’.

The original  release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes.

CLUBFORMS - Mindforms remixes from @henry-greenleaf, @daisymoon, @tammohesselink, @keplrr:

Syz - Mindforms [CTRLFRK007] - Previews

Four track release of sound system ready 130 club weapons, teetering between the realms of broken techno, garage, funky, and dubstep; showcasing a mastery of low-end, complex but functional rhythmic percussion and interesting melodic tones and textures

A1. Youth: Acid style square lazer bass zaps combine in fine style with a broken beat style drums, providing a polished dance floor weapon that’s both sinister and fun.

A2. Claus: Dark pads and lunar aesthetics transcend into a peak time dubstep influenced wobble, with a coalescence of garage and techno drum-work keeping things rolling.

B1. Want to Get: Detroit style pads and dubby fx, meet arps, a chest rattling bassline that develops throughout the track and Jersey Club style meets UK techno drum patterns. The track achieves the fine balance between musicality, grit and bass weight that makes it an ideal candidate for the dance.

B2. Cobalt Driver: Smoked out, moody yet melodic, the release ends with a subbed out, stripped back roller, perfect for those late night, contemplative club moments.

SPD Artist Statement: Fundamentally dubstep was the thing that caught my ear and is the reason why I got into making and playing music, so I think everything I do has a reference back to that. I feel that's authentically me and there is something about the 'genre' (as an umbrella) rising, flourishing and then progressing in so many different wonderful guises and offshoots that really made sense to me. I liked the fact that 140 provided a template that people then oscillated around but you could still pull all of these different things together. I think that is why I generally try to make stuff consistently around 130- feel it's important to be able to thread sounds together and that gives you so much flex.

PREMIERE: SPD - Want To Get [Stongeround Records]

This Is Our Time welcomes & embraces Dj Chrysalis from Melbourne into its ranks with a tight hug upon his new EP, 'Just Passing Through'. For this release, Chris' mantra was 'the garden is in charge, we're just passing through', consequently, it's not merely an invitation to dance, but to a cheerful escape from the urban hustle.

The EP opens with 'Breathe', a meditative pacesetter that, right from the start, encourages you to embrace being the instrument of the notes and rhythm flowing through you. A playful backbone for any cleverly constructed dj set. We follow it up with the happy-go-lucky stomper that is 'The Day After Techworld', imagining a stroll along the banks of the Yarra River with this one, making our way to an after-party for Melbourne tech-heads.

As we reach the B-side, we aim for the higher state of minds with 'Babycake.' Fluttering breaks and dominant acidic pads balance amidst the heavy dripping of sound drops. This is the last dance of the dawn, knock the chip out of your third eye. After our dance, we are closing our garden gate with 'Overthunk (Big Dub Blub)' a reverb-drunk dubby trip, where we lie down on the grass and listen to fuzzy bird calls answering strings plucked underwater.
