G TOWN RECORDS returns in style with a sophomore release from Brisbane’s finest - X CLUB. Following on from enthralling electro and techno EPs on Steel City Dance Discs and 1Ø Pills Mate respectively, the pair show their full deck of cards with ‘NOW OR NEVER’, a four track representation of driving top down in the pouring rain. 

Having risen up through the ranks of Brisbane’s colourful club scene, Ben and Jesse’s electric pairing has offered up some of electronic music’s freshest tracks in the past year; these four being picked straight from the root, pressed directly to wax and straight to your doorstep via Galway City. 

We kick off with ‘Concentrate’; an unrelenting rolling mesh of drums and tense vocals that culminate to X CLUB’s almost signature UK break sound that doesn’t skimp in intensity. Following on from that we’re met with one of the most in demand tracks of the past year following constant radio and club play, ‘Inna Trance’; an audio representation of a noughties donk and trance fan’s Las Vegas wedding gone wrong. 

We flip to the B side where the aptly titled ‘SPORTS THAT REQUIRE PETROL’ takes us back to the gym for a performance enhanced drum workout before drowning us in pads and letting us up for air as we approach the emotional crescendo that is the final track. ‘Elevation’ sees the listener don their best Ryan Gosling-esque driving gloves before embarking on a rain soaked journey to finish the job; it really is NOW OR NEVER. 

GTOWN002 stamps X CLUB’s place among the elites right now and certifies G TOWN RECORDS as a label not to be ignored going forward into a brave new world.

NOW OR NEVER

Shall Not Fade: Killjoy (DJ Mix)

jamesjamesjames - Orange Tesla (Mixed)

Influenced by 90’s Jungle Techno and Rave House on this one! The lyrics of “Bury That Sound” reminded me of how the NSW Government quite literally buried the sound from the once bustling Sydney Kings Cross Night Life, due to the dreaded lock out laws placed in 2014. I’m so stoked to see a small resurgence as of late, though! Sydney will be back! I wanted to reflect this connection by using this fkn sick vintage photo of the once vibrant intersection in King Cross… with my logo added lol.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EXTENDED MIX EXCLUSIVELY ON BEATPORT

EFESIAN - Bury That Sound

The original mix of ‘I Wanna Rave’ opens, as the name would suggest employing a gritty rave-tinged aesthetic via choppy, delayed stab sequences, thunderous saturated drums, skippy breaks and an amalgamation of vocal chants.
Production maestro KiNK steps in to rework ‘I Wanna Rave’ next, delivering his typically raw and dynamic style, extracting the core elements of the original and reshaping them alongside
additional twitchy electronic bass, reduced drums and ever unfolding, modulating filter work.

MICRO FACE - Take Ya Underground

A track that reminds me of sippin' a few schooeys on the beach after pummeling dumb fkn villains all day

MICRO FACE - A Schooner Matata

“Im on my ignorant shit. I’m on my Berlin boy shit. If you slide on my set I’ll send your ass curling and shit. I came back from rave, yeah bitch, that was burning and shit. I’m now 20 feet deep under ground just learning and shit.”

3 years ago MCR-T kickstarted Live From Earth Klub with his and the label’s first ever techno release  “KRAFT” LFEK001. Almost 3 years later we are proud to announce MCR-T’s second vinyl release and Live From Earth Klub‘s 11th installment “4 THA CULUTURE”.

Since the earliest days of raves, techno and rap did not only coexist but were fundamentally intertwined. The contemporary techno / electronic music image has long ridden itself of its hip hop MCing component rendering the combination of both as being virtually extinct. All-terrain vehicle MCR-T aims to restore the long forgotten craft of MCing over techno / gabber / electro beats not only on the dancefloor but also for your recreational pleasure. Combining forces with Australia’s own legendary Partiboi69 has only made this EP an even spicier force to be reckoned with.

The sonic character of this body of music spans from 90’s piano stab infused big room techno anthems to contemporary ghetto tech, electro, and gabber interpretations combining the soul power of voice with the menacing power of bass.

“4 THA CULTURE” EP pays homage to all the OGs of electronic music, to all the ravers on and off the dancefloor, to all the promoters, the labels and clubs, the tastemakers, the recordshops.

This ain’t just for y’all.
It’s for the culture.

The EP will be available in both digital and analogue. Vinyl copies are limited to 500 records.
