Tilda's Goat Stare

Pearson Sound returns to his Hessle Audio label with Which Way Is Up, a 4 track EP showcasing a range of textures and tempos with soundsystem pressure as the anchor. The 808-laced 'Hornet' kicks things off with a sound palette inspired as much by '80s Miami as '10s London. 'Twister' dials up the energy with a jagged lead and scattered breakbeats pulling in opposing directions, while the steppers pulse of 'Slingshot' evokes formative experiences at Subdub in Leeds. The EP is brought to a close with the blissed out title track 'Which Way Is Up', whose arpeggios dance around each other until they fizzle to breaking point.

@blossomhillluk enlists a carefully chosen roster of remixers - Facta, Debba, Kin Teal, and Pépe - to take their adventurous approaches to his recent EP on @loosefitrecords, 'Home Colours'.

@ae_pepe delivers a beautifully abstract, atmospheric reinterpretation of 'Loading...'. “Releasing the music was the first catharsis, but handing over the stems feels like the second stage, the beginning of a fresh and exciting new life for these ideas," says Blossom Hill.

“Chop chop chop” – as the distant sound of a rhythmic reckoning grows closer and closer, we as rave disciples in our purest form can be reminded of both the beginning of this story, as well as its current flourishing state. We recall that past scripture speaks of the birth of our beloved helicopter, which contained a sacred capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). While this capsule exists as physical, musical, fundamental proof of the durability of our “FAST NOT HARD” belief system, we know that all systems must morph into new forms and individualized movements.

With this in mind, we praise the emergence of the HOVER CAPSULE – the first of many sub-discs that expand upon the fast-not-hard gospel through a divinely anointed group of master apostles, each with their own distinctly resonant vision of musical ascendance and serenity. On the A side, three separate offerings point to an originalist form of heli-dogma (chop, chop, chop, indeed!), led by first chosen FAW matriarch Carré and her elected counterpart, the legendary phonic guru Addison Groove. Joining them in spreading this up-tempo vision of sonic prayer are rising duo Baalti, and London underground priest Adam Curtain, each delivering a firm yet fluttery hymn of audible togetherness. On the B, the deeper potential of higher tempos displays in its purest and most tangible form. While Ruby May Moon & Emanuel showcase an offering chock full of emotional, poetic intensity, Introspekt churns and chops it up a notch, infusing dissonance with her signature two-step religiosity. Data Plan & 11:68PM round things out, en(capsule)ating the true musical connotation of an ethos that continues to expand and spread – well, hover.
