Dual Monitor - Switch It (HARD19 / Hardline)

A1: Hectic Grub - LB1

Dubrunner continues to shape out a vital, modernist slant on the soundsystem tradition with this second drop on his label Menace. In keeping with the approach set out on 2023’s Ruthless EP, his firm foundation of steppas, dub and digi is a springboard for explorations of broader club styles, taking in elements of breakbeat hardcore, techno and plenty more besides.

Fallen Tree builds on the promise of his debut with four further meditations. Lead single ‘Shangdao’s Revenge’ is a monolithic, moody half-stepper electrified with dub techno chord shimmers and elastic breakbeats, and spaced out with deep wells of atmospheric processing.

‘Fallen Tree’ locks into a tight 4/4 march driven by detailed percussion, with a classic steppas bassline, off-beat chord chops and distant melodica touches paying tribute to hugely influential UK steppas pioneers Alpha & Omega and their apocalyptic cut ‘Ground Is Shaking Dub’. The presence of log drums remind you Dubrunner is bringing his own fusions to the table, drawing on the amapiano explosion as fuel for this hybridised fire.

‘Overruled’ strikes a more forthright, political tone, as Dubrunner foregrounds his values in a fierce statement against the oppressive systems of state control, capitalism and racism. The vocal samples come from Sankara Future Dub Resurgence, whose focus is on Africa’s defiance of its colonial history. The taut, high-definition construction around the message takes its cues from the explosive sonics heard at Darwin’s bassweight REEF sessions in Berlin.

The breakstep lead-in on ‘Pressure’ tells you to prepare for a drum-focused workout, and that’s precisely the approach Dubrunner takes as he chops up the percussion and maintains a light-footed impact in contrast to the broad, cinematic heft of the other tracks on the EP. It’s a potent demonstration of the versatility in the Dubrunner sound, while still maintaining that grounded sense of soundsystem meditation which courses through everything he turns out.

BONUS TRACK 

The brainchild of Madam X, @DrJeep and a sample of Boney M.’s iconic 1978 hit ‘Rasputin’, ‘Rasssputin’ closes the EP.

No-nonsense iron-clad drums, plunging into swampy Bass territory & folk-led percussion à la Boney M.

With a smattering of Madam X’s vocals weaved between subtle samples of Greek pop music. 

A warm-up of what’s to come from Doctor Jeep later in the year when the Brooklyn-based hyphenate will return to KAIZEN with the EP ‘Assassino’.

Dubrunner & SCG - Rainbow Road

One got himself some Bathing Ape. The other is a connoisseur for the finest knock-off garms available down the local market. That's right, Sir Hiss & Toura have joined forces for two driving and eminently-playable techno-leaning rollers - which are also grime friendly, somehow?

This release follows a stellar year for both these young yet stunningly well-dressed artists - Hiss' Soulja Boy-sampling 'I Got Me Some Bathing Ape' having dominated festivals, boats and clubs worldwide over the summer, while Toura had one of the stand-out tracks on Obligated Records to date, the unescapable '44 Bongo'.

The pair also combined during the production process to create an interactive dance performance; namely, 'Hiss Headlocks Toura', which has been performed in public twice to date. A challenging piece which questions and playfully negotiates our current conception of male friendship and physicality.

All Links  ►  https://band.link/sandsoftime

Moon Tripper teamed up with Mithra to offer 'Sands Of Time' EP, a sublime journey through sound that is as entrancing as it is intricate. Spanning three captivating tracks, this EP elegantly marries psychedelic downtempo grooves with the pulsating energy of Goa melodies, creating a soundscape that is both introspective and explosively vibrant.

From the opening moments, listeners are drawn into an expansive universe where layered synths and mesmerizing rhythms weave a narrative that transcends time and space. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, allowing the listener to experience a continuous evolution of sound. The production is polished yet organic, with every beat and melody carefully crafted to evoke a sense of cosmic wonder.

The downtempo elements provide a soothing, almost meditative backdrop, inviting the mind to wander freely. Yet, underlying this serene atmosphere is the undeniable pulse of Goa's hypnotic energy—a reminder of the power of communal dance and shared euphoria. The fusion of these styles not only pays homage to the roots of psychedelic music but also propels it into new, uncharted territories.

This EP is a testament to creative collaboration. It invites both the seasoned listener and the curious newcomer to explore its rich tapestry of sound. For fans of psychedelic downtempo and the dynamic spirit of Goa, "Sands Of Time'' is an essential listen—a vibrant, sonic adventure that resonates long after the final note fades.
