RELEASES

Written and recorded remotely in the fall of 2020, Adam O and MALT present "CODEC", a five-track EP in the formats of a 3” pocket CD and digital. Drawing from the themes of the virtual systems, isolation, and a distorted perception of time, "CODEC" reminisces experiences of the warehouse reaching through the smoking area with organically driven acid, pulsating techno, and mysterious breaks

Let’s get to the point: SPEED, the latest release from MALT, is built to rattle the dance floor. Its foundation is a bass synth going for a jog, taking cheeky steps but on a determined pace. The drums are programmed to propel and leave no dead air. Don’t mistake it for a straightforward DJ tool, though: the track kicks off with a simple “woo!” and takes its time opening up into a frenetic sci-fi heist. Teases of breaks and glassy arpeggios come to a head and flip the picture, throwing you curveballs and keeping you on your toes. Like the best blockbusters, it’s an action sequence that finds time to be lush and methodical. Yes, at its core, it’s a track designed to get you there. It’s also a track that doesn’t have all day—it needs you to hurry up and fucking dance.

For the steadier heads, the DubMax Version provides the bounce with a more gradual measure. A twisted vocal echoes throughout, almost a chuckle resonating past the chugging and shrugging. It’s a romp. Adam O also boards on with a remix, fixing to take you deeper into the bogs. Knocking garage kicks grab you by the limbs; grimy bass synths pull you into the proceedings. If the original was a race against time, this one’s a test against space, tossing you around within its bounds.

The cherry on top: MALT’s remix of an unreleased Adam O track, “What’s the Password”, an expeditious thriller. Evoking late 20th century paranoia, it moves at a breakneck speed to take you through fiber optics and dial-up lines, through command windows and terminals, to get you back to basics. Wipe the sweat off your brows.

After a period of quiet focus, MALT—a secret weapon and enduring mainstay of Los Angeles—briskly returns with a laser-precise EP that’ll steam up dance floors everywhere. Refill your fog machines and pick up the pace; this one’ll get things going.

Miro-Benji & Stuster return for the 6th release on Free Shelter, Odysseia.

As the title name suggests, the EP is seen as an exploration through different universes. Influences can be heard from equal parts of early millennia console games to the sounds of underground heroes. Traversing through break-beat and jungle, moving in BPMs unlike before, the duo will guide you through a dimension you did not expect.

Los Angeles’s prince of acid electro, MALT, is back with a new 3-track EP set in the dark streets of a sci-fi noir, just in time for Halloween ruminations.

The title track “Scanner” is propulsive in its beat but walks steady, soundtracking the rush of a private eye keeping his head down and collecting pieces of his puzzle. Bright synth stabs puncture like new discoveries, before the Scanner comes around to knock our hero down a peg… a crunchy modulation rings out as a warning.

Force Placement, a hometown hero in L.A., anchors his remix around that cautionary siren, slowing it down and zooming in on the track’s shadowy realms. Chugging past clanging chains and clandestine voices, we’re the ones scanning now, searching for something we’re not sure of—before a harrowing discovery comes barreling towards us and the signal is lost in the noise.

B-side “Get Checked” is a more contemplative episode but no less energetic. That signature electro bounce remains under ominous pads that cloud around you, a haze that shrouds the voice you’re chasing. Does it have the answer you’re expecting? Or is it a figment of your imagination, wading in the waters of your introspection? Might be time to check yourself… you know, before you might wreck yourself.

Club Moniker is a Bay Area collective focused on forward-thinking underground dance music through intimate club experiences and a recently minted record label. The MONIKER label series features all Bay Area producers with the vision of showcasing the richness and diversity of local artistry.

MONIKER003 soundtracks the post-apocalyptic clubscape of our fantasies. Suffused with bassbin-rattling sub movement and deconstructed explorations of contemporary club music, the four-track EP whips between moments of tension, climax, and levity with a circumscribed recklessness. 

 The V/A is studded with two collabs featuring Club Moniker resident and co-label head, Pteron, including bread.fm resident, Prawns, and dubwise Bay Area stalwart, Only Now, with releases on Bokeh Versions and Polaar. Rising talents Shai FM and Fallen Matter round off the release with their respective fortes in shapeshifting percussive workouts and fractured, razor-sharp sound design.

Benyayer - Run Generator [BNYR]

The flute of the Transpersonal World willows in glory. Forever it shall stay in the voice of your mind. Axefield's music is inspired by hollow halls and large brutalistic buildings that make us feel so small. Transpersonal World guides your meditation making you feel like you’re standing in the hall of a massive industrial cathedral. Ancient Memories evokes exactly that as images from the past run through your veins. Do we feel a certain way? The synth patterns resemble steel pipes whereas the bassline sounds like large concrete slabs swiping you off your feet.
