Following releases on Redlight's Lobster Boy Label & Breach's Naked Naked Imprint, Mak & Pasteman return with their own label, Materials.

Reflecting the texture in their music the first release is a 3 track EP spanning various influences, building on the palette of sounds they have developed over the past few years. 
"Jam One" see's the duo venture into emotive synthesised house drawing from the darkness of their Drum & Bass influences right into the sounds of Detroit & Chicago. 

"Formation 131" removes any expectation of conformity leading directly into a heady break layered over dark atmospheric textures. The track 
builds on deep subs & distorted 808 hits juxtaposed with the dark emotion of early Jungle.

"Stagger" begins ominously layering chords and filtered piano stabs over solid drums gradually building in a trippy synth line, from here we get the low end basses & tight production we have come to expect from Mak & Pasteman.

Materials label bosses Mak & Pasteman return to the label with a 4 track sampler EP.  

After their previous EP on Materials in August, Mak & Pasteman have delved deeper into their affinity with analog equipment and put together a 4 track EP that has been tried and tested throughout their DJ sets over the past few months. 

"Bald" is brazen, a straight up acid club tool with a modern edge. 

"Drive" continues on with the acid drum machine feel delving into the pairs love for Detroit techno. One sample, one drum machine, one synth, one take. Simple but very effective. 

"I Want You" draws more into Mak & Pasteman's previous Lobster Boy work taking raw beats and layering in thick analog bass tones while the sample rolls. 

"Granulate" harks back to the emotion on the last release, Jam one. Layering atmospheric vocal cuts over techno beats to build into something raw and effective.
