'WORLD'S END GIRLFRIEND IS THE MOST MIND-BLOWING SHIT EVER. THAT IS ALL, GOOD NIGHT' (Marvelatthestar via Twitter)

Seven Idiots

World's End Girlfriend – Les Enfants Du Paradis

World's End Girlfriend is a Japanese composer whose work blends complex sound structures with beautiful melodies, reaching from electronic glitch to jazz-infused rock to modern classical. Captivating, enthralling and like nothing you’ve heard before, WEG makes for a surprising yet central addition to London contemporary music label Erased Tapes (Ólafur Arnalds, Peter Broderick, Nils Frahm, Rival Consoles).

‘Seven Idiots is like listening to a maelstrom that sucks all of our artists into a black hole and spits it out as some sort of pop music from the future. It’s insane!’ – Robert Raths, founder of Erased Tapes in an interview with Dazed &amp; Confused Magazine

His brand new album ‘SEVEN IDIOTS’ will finally be released outside of Japan this April. Shifting seamlessly from catchy pop hooks to elaborate orchestrations and brutal IDM drones, it's an irregular pop album – filled with twists and turns that will have you reaching for the repeat button. At first recorded with vocals, he took the unusual composing method of building up the songs before erasing all of their vocal parts. By dismantling and re-constructing each track, WEG has produced a genre-defying album that truly transcends categorisation.

World's End Girlfriend hails from Nagasaki Kyushu, Japan and currently resides in Tokyo. Fascinated by his father's classical music collection, he began his foray into sound at the tender age of 10, creating his early compositions on keyboard, guitar, tape recorders and computers. To date he has composed more than 600 songs, for the most part unreleased testaments of his early experimentations. 

WEG first came on Europe’s radar in 2002, invited to perform at Barcelona’s renowned Sonar Festival. On the back of the collaborative album ’Palmless Prayer / Mass Murder Refrain’ with Japanese post-rock band Mono, he embarked on extensive tours in Europe and North America in 2005, returning for an appearance at ATP Festival in 2008. Recently performing as a seven-piece ensemble, WEG's ostentious live show is currently selling out 800 capacity venues in Asia. Filmmakers seem smitten too, with the Go Shibata directed movie ‘Late Bloomer’ (2004) and the internationally renowned ‘Air Doll’ (2009) by award-winning director Hirokazu Koreeda both featuring soundtracks created by World’s End Girlfriend.

The music video for ‘Les Enfants du Paradis’, taken from ‘SEVEN IDIOTS', has already received over 90.000 views on YouTube. Directed by Yohei Saito, this beguiling visual represents the high level of interest given to WEG's music, not widely available outside of Asia – until now.

A record that leaves you with the same breathlessness and stupidly dazed grin that you’d get after riding a top of the range roller-coaster... Imagine a really talented avant-garde sound-artist: the kind of gifted sonic chin-stroker that would be on the cover of Wire. Now imagine someone holds a gun to his/her head and says 'Ok, what you do is great and all but now I want you to produce a record that people will actually enjoy, maybe even dance to. If I don’t enjoy myself listening to your record I will shoot you.' Seven Idiots would meet our hypothetical gunman’s needs perfectly; in fact he’d probably turn himself in meekly to the police with a beaming smile on his face... A continuous stream of sonic ecstasy' (8/10) – Drowned In Sound (UK) 

'The most gleefully nuts album I've heard in years... an album you’ll not get bored of for quite some time' (7/10) – The 405 (UK) 

'‘Schizophrenic’ doesn’t do this justice' Song Of The Day – The Line Of Best Fit (UK)

‘World’s End Girlfriend sign to the label renowned for its recognition of innovative acts... and promises to blend sideways pop with strange and addictive hooks' – Bearded Magazine (UK) 

'The one album that would turn the entire music world on its head’ (8.5/10) #6 Top 100 Releases – The Silent Ballet (US)


’Katsuhiko Maeda probably comes home to his wife and his kids every night, who are still in the belief that he’s working in a bank: “How was your day, honey?” “Good, thanks. Yours?” The truth is that no one in the office has seen him in year… As ingenious as Johann Sebastian Bach in The Well-tempered Clavier’ – Spex (DE) 

'The evolutionary end stage of EDM: Making Hyper-reality sound like fun. Whatever follows this effort will either constitute a step back or delineate a new territory altogether' – Tokafi (DE)

’A defining statement and a full-length that has more than realised his potential to be one of the most unique and vital solo artists in modern music‘ (9/10) – Contact Music (UK)

Two talents, one from Lithuania and the other from Estonia. Together Marius and Mark make a formidable team. Recently emerging from the European underground scene, they tie together the darkest aspects that arena has to offer. And this brand new release epitomizes not just the work which Logam's prominent label has to offer, but also what Marius Kirjutaja and Mark Bogdanovas are about to bring to the world of drum & bass.

Going under the pseudonym Mean Teeth, they expose another level of destruction to your speakers and with the help of tastemaker Trilo they're about to prove unstoppable. With only four previous releases under their belt, once before on US torch holder Santoku as well as Bad Taste and Plasma, it's time to fully indulge in the sound they've established from their very first output.

Featuring a nastily foreboding intro, ‘Hatch' leaves you freefalling through revving bass and crushing snare. Its bassline zips and tears through the composition with every layer gradually bolstering the mix. You're made acutely aware that these guys mean business and they're not about to go easy on you. It's the type of techy, no holds barred drum & bass which has made the genre so overpowering in recent months.

Like a science fiction movie, ‘Leviathan' focuses primarily on atmospherics throughout your introduction. Before long, you become enamoured by the crunchiness of its bass riddims, with each pad adding another stepping stone within its configuration. It's lumbering, whilst still swift in the way it throttles your aural senses and you'll find yourself unable to untangle yourself from its grasp.

Already showing themselves to be of a high caliber with their previous two tracks, ‘Escape Pod' follows the same pattern, fluctuating quickly between frequencies and elevating bass notes. Crushing snare adds another sphere, once again returning to those carefully spaced out rifts which are slowly becoming their signatures.

Then lastly, comes ‘Gun Squad'. Featuring Trilo, who's already established himself amongst his competitors, they combine to create an unfathomable force. Trilo brings the pain, demonstrating why he's so revered whilst he merges his production style with Mean Teeth to exorcise a demon of musical proportions. Together, they round up an EP that'll launch their reputation, as well as bring Santoku even further onto the forefront.

Available here: metalheadz.lnk.to/TheWrongSide
Release date: 2nd June 2017

SCAR return to the label for the first time since the release of their debut album, ‘The Orkyd Project’, with a 4 track EP entitled ‘The Wrong Side’ which without doubt highlights some of the duos best work yet.

Naomi Pryor, whose voice featured strongly across the album, takes the lead on the title track with some haunting but playful vocals, whilst SCAR have also invited the legendary 2 Bad Mice to put their own unique stamp on ‘The Wrong Side’.

‘Make Em Know’ shows further versatility in SCAR’s work and is guaranteed to be favourite on the dancefloor in the years to come. Rounding off the EP is ‘Beside Me’ with another vocalist you may remember from ‘The Orkyd Project’ – Eleanor Higgins. Alongside her wonderful voice is Ben Hadwen on saxophone and flute duties, bubbling over to create one of the jazziest pieces of drum and bass you’re likely to hear in a while.

In the midst of his recently accrued status as a ‘Masterchef’ finalist, long-standing Dispatch stalwart Survival returns to the label with a highly anticipated new solo album, ‘Take It Back’.

Inspired by working with Script on a Metalheadz album as ‘SCAR’ last summer, Survival went straight back into the studio, with a renewed hunger to focus on his own solo material.

‘Take It Back’ represents the first Survival album since his 2009 debut on Exit Records, re-engaging with his core sound and this sampler demonstrates both sides of his sound today.

Thirteen tracks make up the astutely arranged album, including a collaboration with label boss and close friend Ant TC1, plus vocal features from Codebreaker, Eleanor Higgins and two tunes with Naomi Pryor (having worked extensively as part of the SCAR / Orkyd project).

With a fresh outlook on his artform and exciting plans to link his music and his cooking, Survival takes things back to the source, rekindling with his most celebrated DnB moniker.

‘CTS’ and ‘Condensed’ mark the fourth release from Sofa Sound’s digital-only collection since its creation in 2017. Having already released on imprints such as Samurai Music, Horizons Music, Dispatch Recordings and Gradient Audio, Mateba’s step towards the imprint sees him being added to another inherently underground, yet groundbreaking label. Joining the likes of Break, Randall, Hydro, War, Script and DLR himself within Sofa Sound’s back catalogue, it makes sense that he’d come under their radar. Having been featured in their sets globally, with Sofa Sound’s help fans are about to put a face to the music. And that’s just one more factor into their success, which has only exploded since their first release.

The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.
