Label: Life Scripts
Release date: 16 April 2021

Configurations Of Self off-shoot, Life Scripts welcomes back head honcho Alexander Church and James Welsh as Common Factors, as the pair deliver their second EP, ‘Perversions Of Loss’.

Title cut ‘Perversions Of Loss’ is a shimmering slice of entrancing electronica, delving deep with a medley of playful strings, breaks and distorted low-end frequencies. ‘Inference’ focuses on warped basslines, swirling synths and floating melodies all sitting upon a rolling break. Next up, ‘Existential Truths’ offers five and a half minutes of jungle influenced nostalgia, as we see Church and Welsh enlist off-kilter drums alongside trippy effects and oscillating synths. To close, ‘Escape Hatch’ is a raw and wonky techno track that perfectly marries the elements of light and dark. This latest EP highlights why Common Factors have been picking up love from the likes of Tom Ravenscroft on BBC6 Music, Ransom Note and a raft of top DJs.

Common Factors is a recently launched project from Bradford-based DJ and producer Alexander Church, alongside James Welsh. Church is label boss at Configurations of Self and produces music that takes deep inspiration from the human condition. James Welsh is a multi-faceted artist and former post punk band member who releases via leading labels including Futureboogie and Phantasy Sound, whilst frequently collaborating with Church on this and other projects.

PREMIERE : Common Factors - Inference

Aspetuck returns with his second album, 'The Bees Came Back'. His second long player consists of a collection of music made in the very beginning stages of the pandemic - a time of intense uncertainty and introspection. The album is very much a continuation of the story being told with his debut album, 'Treehouse At Yuma Place'. It represents a unique slice in time experienced in a very special house up in the trees of Laurel Canyon.

Outsiders: Calypso Records w/ Aristidez @ Kiosk Radio 01.05.2021

In pandemic times of telepresences and social distancing, Live At Robert Johnson and Leipzig’s own Riotvan team up for a magical musical mission. Encompassed by the graphic design of Michael Satter & Panthera Krause, each of the five tracks has been created by teams representing both label crews and their environs, rendering a truly synergetic effort.

A1 - Rebolledo & Roman Fluegel - Star Stuff - Snippet

There were always two sides to every story — whether you heard them both was another question. Whoever got there first generally had the upper hand anyway, anything that followed was subject to much more interrogation. Suspicion shrouded every fact and figure, speculation veered the conversation away from the matter at hand; you never get any closer to knowing the real truth. 

At just 19 years old, Utrecht-based producer Ineffekt's productions far belie his years. After making his debut last year on Dutch label Intercept with his 'Solaris' EP, he makes his return for his first ever long player, which retains the distinctive rhythms and warm subs we heard on his debut, but this time dives deeper into playful and euphoric melodies. A vibrant and colourful wash of synths, dreamy vocal snippets and fuzzy percussion; the 10 tracks on 'Kora' each have their own unique flavour and groove.

PREMIERE: Ineffekt - Two-Tiered [Intercept]

Luis Leon - My Ears Have Tears
BUY-LINK: https://www.beatport.com/release/my-ears-have-tears/3500214
Label: Nie Wieder Schlafen
Release Date: 10 october 2021

With over 2 years in the making, the debut of Luis Leon on Nie Wieder Schlafen feels like a long overdue salvation. The highly explorative mind of Luis (Chapter 24, Kindisch, L'enfant terrible, Prosa Verso) has always fascinated us - and while the right moment has taken it's time, his sound was always admired in some shape and form. At last, we were finally able to capture his vision in our framework, which allowed his sound to prosper in new ways. With incredible patience and careful selection throughout the last years of communication, Luis Leon's debut comes with the name of "My Ears Have Tears". The expansive EP holds 5 tracks, including a non-stop adventure with 3 deep and unforgiving progressive stories, gently held together in between 2 ambience projects, the later of them in collaboration with new and returning NWS talent Haider Uppal.

From the main title track to the fast and rhythmic patterns of "It Won't Be Long", Luis captures an array of experimental grooves, which do not shy away from breaking boundaries and mixing various influences of his own. Filled with textures, vocal inputs and heavy dancefloor patterns, the release holds true to the sound of Nie Wieder Schlafen, while moving on to explore different sides of the atmospherical world of electronic music.

"My Ears Have Tears" strikes with a cinematic and pulsating bassline synth that sets an eerie tone for the production to move within. Transforming and almost liquid pads, filter through the mix and create broad soundscapes, that layer above the bassline, that is further supported by very wet shaker patterns and muffled texture compositions.

The ideas of hypnotic base rhythms and long drifting sounds do extend to the next track called "Take the Gun". Wunderous vox-like pads open and close in a breathing-like sense, while a ruthless and quick bass/kick pattern fills out the low end space, to build some heavy momentum. Long-lasting, almost noisy spaces fill the tension within the groove, while the fading but long one note pads decay in the abyss with subtle but effective glides. It invokes a mysterious space that is explored with excitement.

The core dance tracks are finished up by a tempo-rising final production, which pulls the concept of the release through an ecstatic state and intensifies all described ideas to eleven. The ambiences supported by snappy hit patterns prepare the listener to buckle up for a quicker experience, that holds true to Luis' unforgiving rhythmic bombardment, that works so well in an ambience filled space. Almost goofy drum patterns put into such a quick state, are liquified through the countless atmospheres, which Luis layers on top of each other and seasons the whole production with textures and influences from his love of japanese anime. While the most experimental track of them all, we believe "It Won't Be Long (To Dance With You)" shows the most of Luis' character and what he is inspired by. The main titles of the track are blessed by the release introducing "Understanding of Re" and the EP conclusion "Des Magiciens" (in collaboration with Haider Uppal), which both play a huge role in setting the framework of this whole extended play. The experience of going through the whole release does alter the experience of all these tracks, especially opening up the listeners for the final track, that might bring so much more joy, when understood in its full concept.

PREMIERE : Luis Leon - It Won't Be Long (Just To Dance With You)

A moment of inspiration from Faramarz Aslani’s Ahooye Vahshi meets the hypnotic textures of Glass Beams. A fusion I’ve been wanting to explore. Hope you enjoy it !
