Otik - Cosmosis
Release date: 24 November 2023

London-based producer Otik releases his first album 'Cosmosis' on Martyn's label 3024. The 11-track LP signifies the fourth album on the imprint across its ten-year tenure, showcasing a more introspective side to Otik's musical output.

The album leans into delicate melodies, hazy atmospheres and lush analogue sounds, often evoking blissed-out feels and ripples of brilliant colour. Produced three years ago during lockdown, 'Cosmosis' comes after a period of spiritual struggles, where Otik questioned his faith, religious beliefs, and the concepts of right and wrong. While the pandemic allowed ample time for reflection, Otik translated these thoughts into music from his Peckham-based studio, later finding a home on 3024's evolving discography.

Following Otik's EP 'Soulo' in 2021, 'Cosmosis' marks the second release from the Bristol-born DJ and producer on 3024. This time, his sound stems from a broader palette, touching on slower, aerated ambient notes through to rugged D'n'B, displaying the far-reaching breadth, vision and maturity of Otik's aesthetic.

Keen to release a body of work that explores the journey of enlightenment and the struggles to get there, Otik drew inspiration from the luminary filmmaker Terrence Malick and how Malick portrayed ideas and philosophies in films like The Tree of Life and Voyage of Time. As a result, the record conveys a compelling narrative of rebirth, told through exquisite sound design and a push-pull pace that oscillates across the album.

The lead single 'Cosmosis' binds astral breakbeats with a star-lined melody stitched against a spacious backdrop. Sparse, celestial vocals punctuate the soundscape and add a spiritual feel, culminating in a dazzling trip at just over five minutes.

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.

Scanner EP *PREVIEWS*

Control Freak co-founder @customerdjservice returns to the label with his second EP, 'Amygdala'. As both a DJ and producer, Customer Service thrives in a genre-defying nether zone - rooted in familiar dancefloor grooves, but with a distinctive, off kilter sense of rhythm and melody that instantly mark his productions out.

With previous music supported from the likes of Ben UFO, upsammy, Tom Ravenscroft, Solid Blake, dBridge, re:ni and more, this record follows the thread of previous Customer Service releases, exploring deep, trippy and murky textures rooted in techno & electro soundscapes. Rounding off the record, @pugilistmusic remixes 'Lean Forward', adding a murky, broken groove to the detailed textures of the original, and Customer Service collaborates with CF cofounder @finnaman on closing track Useless Knowledge.

Resurrecting 3 unreleased gems from the Swamp 81 glory years.

Breathing new life into these timeless OneOneOne club classics, Madam X welcomes live sequencing duo, Klose One and Claus Fuss to KAIZEN.

Having done the rounds on the UK underground circuit, these weaponly dubs have been crying for release. The collaboration between London's golden boy Klose One and classically trained German composer and producer Claus Fuss catapults these underground stalwarts into the spotlight once again.

A1) WOUND UP
Wonky techno at its finest. Tailor-made for the shufflers. No-nonsense ‘lights-down-low’ underground hard-hitting anthem.

B1) TIEFSEETAUCHER
A sly creeper. Clocking in at an imposing nine minutes, with an arpeggiated clusterfuck of bleepy techno pads, squishy flavours and shuffling hi-hats, it’s straight-forward, rolling techno at its most mesmerising and hypnotic.

B2) THEME FROM LEVEL 3
For the hoods-down, intuitive movers. A stripped-back, ecstatic abstraction of steady builds, bridges and breakdowns. Marble-smooth pads and pristine hits, creating euphoric hands-in-the-air moments.

The perfect soundscape, suspended in hedonism and ecstasy.

As you ascend to your peak, the unyielding kickdrum, distorted synth and groove bring you back to earth in a climactic return to reality.

Having burst onto the scene with a string of free downloads and specialist bootlegs, followed by important releases on Nehza records, Over & Out, and Sound Transitions; Bristol-based producer Roaming Data makes his debut on HOMAGE for arguably his most complete work to date. Connecting the ever-blurring dots of bass, house, and electro - still heavily influenced by his native city and the UK's blossoming subcultures.

The success of his previous work has led to support from artists like Ross From Friends, Jaguar, and Roni, while causing chaos across multiple Keep Hush sets and appearances on Radio 1, NTS & Rinse. The latter being a guest mix invite from long-standing resident Miley Serious.
