DYL is a Romania-based producer known for his spacious, absent minded D&B escapades for labels such as re:st, Diffuse Reality, and Nord Label. In 2021, DYL was featured on Bandcamp, Juno, and several other publications for his collaborative projects with DB1 and Synkro.

The three-track rework of Lenses Dances is an explorative sonic journey consisting of reverberating rhythms, dazzling hi-hats, and DYL's signature D&B undertones.

The artwork is by Paul Nicholson (Number3.co). The accompanying music video was engineered by Torimimasataka, a visual artist based in Osaka, Japan.

After various releases on Weevil Neighbourhood, two of the label's key figures, Anthone, who made a first appearance in 2012 with the "Aloof" EP and "Double Dub/ Clear View" as well as "Breath/Lungs" in 2014 and Katsunori Sawa, who debuted with the "LR" EP in 2011 together with Yuji Kondo as Steven Porter and later released "The Two Legs" (2013) as well as "Holy Ground" (2014) as a solo artist, team up as BOKEH for their first collaborative outing dubbed "Peace Obscured".

The release comes as a 12" EP combining both artists' trademark musical vocab - industrial dub and noise influenced techno - resulting in a three tracker of relentlessly driving bottom end rave. Black vinyl, 500 copies only, artwork by Lee Noble (No Kings Records/ Bathetic).

Anthone and Katsunori Sawa team up again under their Bokeh alias delivering a 12" single on The Weevil Neighbourhood.

On A side "Lancashire", Bokeh explore the realms of Drum & Bass tempo challenging the how-low-can-you-go with extremely deep subs while "Fast Fiver" on the B side doubles up on your regular 4/4 while on a heavy dub chord's leash.

The release comes on black vinyl with a limited edition of 100 copies on white vinyl sold directly from our webshop. The center label artwork is done by Lee Noble (No Kings Records/ Bathetic).

UVB76-015: Bokeh - Mars & Blaze EP

Katsunori Sawa & Anthone (aka Martsman) are Bokeh, the dynamic duo behind some of the notable releases on Berlin’s Weevil Neighbourhood. Bokeh blends together the distinctive styles of techno, D&B, and drone music into a concrete, hard-stepping rhythmic journey.

Lenses Dances comprises 8 tracks that reflect on the photograph effect called bokeh, where aperture settings of the respective camera lens create vivid patterns, almost like dancing dots. It is a dedication to the artists’ love for photography.

The artwork and logo is designed by Paul Nicholson, the graphic designer behind the Aphex Twin logo and the Laughing Man character from Ghost in the Shell.

Mastering done by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering.
