030 / DJ MAKE

Following a fallow 2023, a rejuvenated Growing Bin return to your turntable with this sublime collaborative LP from Gosha Martynov & Natasha Sinyakova. On their first foray into the physical, the duo expand the spectral ambience and medicated breaks of their earlier work with lithe touches of organic jazz and Cafe Del Mar cool, creating a complex assemblage of dreamy downbeat and emotive electronica that's entirely easy on the ears.

Opener "Pozhaluysta" seduces with smart syncopation and beguiling melody, its flute and fretwork finding ample space to slip around Natasha's voice, equal parts Cocteau operatics and jazz-club coquette, in an expression of a want beyond words. The mood shifting "Osvobodi Menia" sees the solemn, snaking sound of a sampled duduk drift into an optimism of airy pads and escapist mantra, suspended in reverb until the end of time. "Ya Tebia Zhdala" began life as a break-led experiment, gradually evolving into a romantic and naive sketch rich with splashes of piano and dynamic chorus pads. Naturalist hymn "O Dereve" weaves a dark and intimate tale from the point of view of a veteran tree as its buzzsaw guitar loops blossom into multilayered vocals full of emotion.

Awash with sonar sweeps, sumptuous pads and rolling subs, the titular "Imena Rek" channels post-rave bliss into the hypnagogic anthem the contemporary IDM-ographic have been searching for. Infectious hooks and spaced out pads ride the breakbeat rhythm for a dreamy experimental pop banger from another planet. The sombre sway of "Rany", filtered through the fog of a broken cassette recorder, trance djembe and unpredictable bass tones rivals the finest Motion Ward or In:dex releases for crepuscular charm, while "Smeshno" sees serrated drones sink into a slinking rhythm, playing counterpoint to the tender chords and yearning vocals.

"Iskra" closes out the chiasmus with a return to the organic experience of the opener, the flute and acoustic guitar augmented with nuanced hand percussion and a music box refrain. Listening to this album is like a midnight walk through an ancient forest - an experience which both scares and tempts you at the same time. From touching damp moss to feeling the thick fog with your body and watching mushrooms glow in the dark, 'Imena Rek' guides you through the terrain.

Flawlessly arranged and executed, this LP alludes to a long lineage of innovative downbeat, feels absolutely essential in the present and pushes the trip hop revivalists towards a fascinating future - Gosha Martynov & Natasha Sinyakova have created a timeless piece of music, but what else do you expect from the Bin?

Gosha Martynov & Natasha Sinyakova - O Dereve

Burning the midnight soil, Wormbox is the amalgamation of two new age cats - Break Mode and Cole Baby - whose collaboration results in something really far out. With mixes for Electric Shapes and Gop Tun, and a growing list of productions popping up on labels around the world, these two worms demonstrate a special pairing which is anything but grounded. 

Their jams are uniquely sewn together by combining each of their distinct production styles, creating a truly singular sound. Pulling from all sides of their electronic and dance music predecessors, the outcome is just as delightful as it is unexpected.

Wormbox - Discodream

i gotta say
i been attending to the bank
like everyday
im making a play
just in the way
i be getting paid 
ian never like a bitch know that they ain’t on shit
i would never like a nigga playing all that he say she say
nigga im saying
you couldn’t be me
& then this fit
came straight from my hand
stay out the way 
i gotta say
you don’t get paid to be talking on me & that’s far as i seee
you niggas been sleep
better not beef
grudges i keep
i gotta do what niggas don’t do
i gotta woo who nobody can woo & i mean what i say
i do not play
i just get cakee 
don’t play with my cakee
im passing the phone to a nigga that’s wrong
for ever thinking i wasn’t go pop
like fuck out me face 
i gotta say
i got romaine it’s all in my chase
i hop on the beat dissociating
hop on the scene off a lil xan
got smoke in my throaat 
so how do i know
if i should quit
if i should tote
leave me alone 
if you not talm 
about a bag you can render me gone
keeping my attitude on
drinking on Rena to sippin on Rum
planning to fight a garcon 
i couldn’t wait til i could put niggas on
Merica falling like Rome
the plan is get rich get money alone
i be alone on the road
cus trusting is something im not
yes i make money a lot
do nothing but still be on top

we could use the exact same excited words we spent to introduce him to you a few months ago with the free digital ep called "polydial", because that's what we keep thinking and really little has changed, except that the moment we have waited so long to put this material in physical form and continue our task of making known this mysterious funny mastermind has finally come! a mixture of styles, visions, messages, speeds, emotions and structures that make his touch and this record an absolute pearl for us. and we hope it will for you too.
so no more chatter, have a good dive! : )
