Packed full of low frequency energy, sci-fi synth tones and rich sonic textures, Off-Switch Audio are happy to present Minister for Loneliness, the second full-length EP from Yahoo Yahoo Training School.

Stilleben Mit iPhone 14 Pro, the third track on the EP, is one for the late night doom-scrollers. Emotive arps create a sense of sadness and reflection, and a satisfyingly smooth sustained bass rolls beneath, grounding everything with a steady foundation. Mehmet uses a masterful combo of rhythm, space and bass to create a moody and immersive atmosphere of isolation.

As the tide of the lagoon’s water follows the moon phases, the washes of evolving pads evolve from the intention of a singular binary structure.

These tracks were composed in Venice between 2021-2023 as improvisations mostly run by machine. Dynamic range, tonality, harmony, and in some occasions, even timbres are a function of scripts.

London rave label Godezz & staple UK club series Kyso Sound fuse their DNA coils and reveal to you the Genesis Pool. A glimpse into a world beneath ours, an ekosystem of subterranean currents and nu-life flickering in the depths. Genesis Pool is a various artists compilation comprised of eleven droplets of underground dance futurism; shimmers of grime, trance, jungle, ghetto and uk bass present a bio-sample that captures every strand of the current UK underground.

Kitsta delivers the goods on the VA with Fire Flowers.

'Morphers' is a rattling 3 tunes split that was forged between French producer Flore and San Francisco’s Only Now. The release represents the unwritten language shared between both friends over the past 7 years, with their affinity for propulsive percussion workouts and livewire bass music. After releasing on the POLAAR label for years, Only Now and Flore finally met in person for a collab long awaited.

“Collaborating with someone on the production side is not something I’m used to “- says Flore. “It is like a non-verbal communication and its interplay of perspectives. But I think that Kush and I share a same sonic language and this new experience pushed us to embrace the unpredictability and subjectivity inherent in this new creative process.”

The story began in Paris when Flore invited Only Now to come play at her POLAAR night at la Station. A couple of days later they met again at Tim Karbon’s studio, and sketched out ideas. It shaped into a tune made by their 4 hands (« Morphers ») and « Cut & Run », a tune revisited in 2 versions, with their own slant, but trying to keep an even balance between each producer.

Flore’s take on « Cut & Run » encapsulates the essence of big sound system influence. Dub-infused rhythms morph seamlessly into widescreen sound design elements, creating a unique dialect that invites you to decipher its ethereal symbols.

Accidental melodies and textural forms comprise Kin Teal’s Ecosystem, the Budapest-based producer’s second EP of iridescent club-not-club zones and debut for Human Pitch. Bridging 130-140 leftfield bass with liquid downtempo chuggers, Kin Teal uncovers hidden melodies in the resonant frequencies of percussion. “By amplifying certain frequencies in drum breaks, our brains latch onto that as a melody. These melodies are often askew, not perfectly tuned, and I wanted to embrace that.”

Doubling down on the record’s title and theme, Kin Teal played with the idea of a record in which each sound and track reacts to one another. Tubular melodies coil around syncopated drums as though by reflex and vocal blips flit through the gaps. There’s a clockwork but also a fluidity to Kin Teal’s oblique rhythms, which trace the producer’s growth, bending blueprints with a vibrant curiosity.

Premiere: Kin Teal - Muscle Cars

Under the unusual casing of the Schönfeld album are many small cogwheels, whirring drive belts, elastic support straps and clattering cylinder heads that want to push the experimental device towards the dance floor and succeed in doing so. An ant city with a functioning infrastructure from whose towers the trumpet riffs, professionally played by the master himself, resound. The stubborn otherness with the artist's masticating signature is what secures the album a temporary place on my Mp3 player. For this premiere we go for the winding, hypnotic and elastic Have a Break, Have a Cat. Enjoy.

Grid Records kick off their 2024 with Contrast EP, a mesmerising collection of future-facing tracks from certified one-to-watch Plebeian. The NYC producer is quickly garnering deserved attention for his acutely detailed and explorative bass productions reminiscent of Objekt and Djrum.

Plebeian offers up four shimmering and lush dance organisms that exist in an ecosystem entirely of their own. Microscopic drum engineering coupled with flourishes of dubbed out percussion, moments of blissful beauty and infinitely oscillating synth swells, all distilled to create 4D soundscapes that will captivate and intrigue the listener - Panic is no exception to this.

"We are more than delighted to welcome Martini to W133. After appearances on Kindergarten Records and Early Reflex, the NYC-based producer delivers three uniquely well-crafted originals for the Berlin imprint.
...
On A3, the third and last original track, "Lounge Lizard," creeps into your ears very subtly and sneakily. High foreign-sounding arpeggiated melodies twirl around your head, and you get lost in the sound when suddenly a high-energy switch drops in and makes you want to move your reptile extremities.
...
The EP will be available as a limited 25-copy dubplate run as well as digitally. The vinyl comes in fully printed cover sleeves with analogue photography by Freya Gerz."
