Gent1e $oul keeps evolving his dancefloor meta with "Block Printing '', the latest EP on Fast Castle. This DLC consists of 5 stripped down, effective takes on UK Bass, Dubstep, Grime and Baile - excellent for outright late game domination. The vinyl comes in hand-crafted sleeves produced in an ancient woodblock printing method on a manually operated, pre-industrialisation printing press.

Sonically, Gent1e $oul further distills his style by fusing different sonic spheres and bass music styles across “Block Printing''s chapters: Profoundly effective 4-bar grime meets transparent electro breaks on “Heated Shot”, with it’s hi-tek sounds forcing early reactions from the floor. “Siege Ram” is a techno x steppers crossover that packs the punch to keep your opponents stuck in the dark ages forever. “Untitled” channels baile cues into a rigid, progressive club cut, while the B-Side offers a UK Techno meets dembow deepness with “Fortified Walls”. Rounding off the proceedings, Rolex3k makes here exec. producer debut with a feature on “Turtle Ship”, a deeper-than-deep dub stepper.

"Block Printing"’s cover, conceived by Fast Castle’s visual mastermind Jonas, depicts an emblematic circle monograph hinting to prehistoric scenes and ancient legends. Special care went into the production of the DIY-printed record sleeves: Individually crafted on an ancient 1820s mechanical press and printed in a block printing-like technique from a laser cut wood negative, each of the edition-of-200 vinyl copies is a one-of-a-kind artifact to worship and rinse repeatedly.

Very special shout outs to Jonas from 200 Kilo on this one conceiving and realizing our most ambitious artwork project to date. Also, out to Scape Mastering for the sound optimization and RWDFWD and DnP for international distro services!

From the Pulse Modulation EP on Livity Sound. Out 6th October 2023.

Pev swiftly follows up the Pulse EP with another four tracks of sprightly club gear that continue to shape out his current areas of exploration in the studio. As ever, there are no fixed concepts or approaches - just an instinct for energising, inventive tracks taking in a range of tempos and rhythms.  

The first half of Pulse Modulation EP is marked out by linear rhythms which showcase the most techno aspects of Pev’s sound. ‘Pulse V’ is charged with the kind of alien synth lines which could only come from his studio, but also draw a line to the hi-tech soul of foundational Detroit techno. ‘Pulse VI’ has a starker, bleep-led sound pitched towards tougher dancefloors. 

’Pulse VII’ strips things back in comparison, leaning in on a blanket of bass and keeping the drums sparse and to the point - a study in soundsystem pressure.  Widening the spectrum of the record, ‘Pulse VIII’ sees Pev make a rare push up into 160+ territory - something normally reserved for his DJ sets. Swerving obvious break edits, his take on jungle is lean and crisp, delivering a fresh slant on the sound while maintaining the sharp focus of his current output.

Peverelist - Pulse V

In the words of @holdinghandsrecords label head, Liam: “Dawn Razor / Adam Antine has been sending me music pretty much from the birth of the label and although he had a killer tune on Slam Jams Vol.2 I have always hoped that we would be able to make a full release come together. 

Lo and behold he recently sent me a new batch and this time I simply had to say yes. These four are perfect for Submerged. Eyes down and bass heavy business from start to finish. Blending a mix of breakbeat, minimal and house, all are super hypnotic and ideal for the late night session goblins out there.”

Premiere: Noti - Control [SSS003]

There was a strange feeling lingering in the air, an eerie sense of tension which hung thick and left a bitter taste in the mouth. Why would it be that there was so much stress? Where had this come from? Why now? What caused the pinch?

He sighed as he wandered through the quiet city, it was dead, the people of the week had left town to return to their families leaving nothing but empty streets and still puddles.

There were no sirens, no cars, ho beaming headlights. Yet still it was noisy where he was.

Preference releases a new EP on Ayeland – a futuristic extravaganza which lends a nod to the early days of Bass music alongside the deconstructed improvisations of the genre which later followed suit.
