2ndSun’s 2014 “Shimmer” EP was a landmark moment on many counts – our first Tessier-Ashpool Recordings release, their most accomplished work at the time, and easily our most prominent outing. A “jackin’ house exemplar”, as we called it then, it set itself apart as one of very few sustainable, enduring and timeless models for UK house/techno splicing, accruing standout radio support (from the likes of Shadow Child and Skream) , chart success, and crossover validity (gracing the tracklist of one of Armin van Buuren’s Armada Music compilations). 

So how do you top that? As it turns out, if you’re Olly Stork and Steve Burnett tinkering away in the studio, you just do.

This year’s “Quanta” EP, titled as such as shorthand for “quantum miscellanea”, sees the boys perfecting the science of their approach as they tackle more abstract subject matter, familiarize themselves further with core Tessier-Ashpool tenets, and absorb our team’s most recent developments. Consequently, “Quanta” is their most musically ambitious, thematically expansive and stylistically versatile oeuvre to date, spanning four tracks of expertly-mitigated twists and turns.

“Drift” is a modernized electro affair, drenched in leaking neon sludge and adorned with 80’s funk retrofits. Junglist acid bass squelches interpolate with drum machine antics atop a syncopated jam, as lush and… well… drifting pads fade in and cut out, creating a TAR-specific, Golden-Age-sci-fi narrative.
“Control” is a tenebrous techno workout, affixing cone-ripping acidic reso-sweeps and instructional automaton chants to an ever-mutating rhythmic environment – sometimes driven by dotted kick grooves, sometimes derailed by frenetic percussive rattles, and always tethered to the upbeat of a stoic, ligneous snare.

The first pure 4/4 jaunt of the record, “Divisive Circuit” is true to its name, conflicted and schizophrenic, shifting from live analogue acid jamming at one moment, to gutter house histrionics the next.

Closer and title track “Quanta”, a nod to the acid and/or ambient house of pioneers like Orbital, The KLF, Kevin Saunderson or The Orb, is a breezy, almost-balearic stroll through the combined chaise-longue dreams of many a poolside aficionado. Sensuous. Ethereal. Seemingly eternal.

DJANGO - The Warning

You smell that? That’s the smell of burnt rubber, cold rain, and broken promises. Welcome to the Mean Streets kid. 

You ever hear jungle breaks echoing through an empty parking garage at 3 a.m.? That’s what this is for. Mean Streets is built for late-night runs and lost causes. It's a drum and bass tribute to the golden age of the PlayStation, back when everything felt faster, dirtier, realer. Back when we were still counting polygons kid. 

Think Wipeout 2097, Ridge Racer, Need for Speed. This is the sound of busted-up jungle drum and bass straight from a memory card left in the rain.

Yeah, there's liquid DnB in here, even some future garage, the kind that creeps in when the streets are empty and the rain won’t stop and you can't get those damned memories outta your head. But don’t get it twisted kid, the heart of this record is that early-2000s jungle mayhem. The stuff that came out of blown speakers and off bootleg discs. That sound that made you drive too fast and care too little.

So here’s your induction, rookie. The Mean Streets don’t care who you are. But if you’re gonna race out here, you better have the right soundtrack. And now, you do.

This one's for fan's of low-poly dreams, 160 BPM mistakes, and the kind of nights you don't come back grom the same. If you like early jungle, Source Direct, LTJ Bukem and PS1-era Drum & Bass you're gonna like this.

This is a reissue of a short-lived and obscure UK dance music label. A compilation of tracks featured on releases across 3 EP’s between 1991 and 1993 incorporating recently emergent dub techno and progressive acid house sounds. Nation of Noise was conceived in the early 90's, following a meeting of minds between the producer Django and vocalist Jon Martin at the legendary Soho institution: The Brain. 

Plate 1 is a fully remastered reissue of the first Nation of Noise record - Xes Noiz, featuring 4 locked grooves. 

Plate 2 takes two tracks off both the Lockgroove and Super Bubble EP's. One side is smooth, after-hours deep house whilst the other reaches for two progressive, acid cuts. 

Fun facts: 

- Feel the Joy received airtime by Jon Peel on Radio 1 and Elvis Stole My Space Hopper was a favourite of Colin Faver and Colin Dale on KISS FM 
- Kris Needs awarded Xes Noiz record of the week in NME, putting it in the same group as Weatherall and Aphex! 
- Riley Reinholdt raved about Xes Noiz in legendary German publication Spex and travelled to U.K. to interview Jon and Django. 
- Piano Tilt was a playlist favourite of Derrick May 
- Progressive acid house pioneers like Scott Hardkiss began lauding the Nation of Noise imports on the West-Coast sound systems of the San Francisco Bay Area. 
- The A3 of Xes Noiz was a minor hit on the emerging jungle/breakbeat scene. DJ's used to pitch it up before Metalheadz and Photek really defined that abstract sound. 

Nation of Noise 91 - 93 is the first of many records to be released by Seven Hills.

Discrete Opinion

Little Man

Nobody expected Flore to come back 10 years after her first album with a second LP as mature, rich and polymorphic as RITUALS.

Following the footsteps of its first audio-visual live show and the 3 previous (highly noted) eps released on her own imprint POLAAR between 2015 and 2019, RITUALS is a deep, immersive album with a powerful imaginary, which could easily dress up any post-dystopian movie.

With a massive wave of supports from high profiles DJs such as Clouds, Noisia, Lena Willikens, Deena Abdelwahed, and the support of top magazines such as Mixmag (UK, FR, JP), Tsugi, The Vinyl Factory or Trax, it will be pressed into vinyl, after a pretty successful KissKissBankBank campain that reached 256% in a month.

With such enthousiasm, it seemed obvious that the remixes should be entrusted to artists at the forefront of electronic music scene.

First, bristolian producer Hodge, known for his versatility in writing club bangers, adds his propulsive, frenetic 4x4 groove, highlighting the track’s sense of stress and cold violence.

British producer Walton, adds his Warpian, chiseled analog grime patina to the track, lending it a slightly spooky and futuristic vibe.

Egyptian newcomer 3Phaz preserves Coded Language’s foundation, adding an organic & frenetic touch that pushes the track in other horizon.
