@cpowers promotes the power of community organizing in many facets of her life. She’s an interstellar producer and DJ as well as an active tenants’ rights activist in Portland, Oregon. Intersectionality is at the core of Cecilia’s perspective as a trans woman and is reflected in her organizing practices and her musical activities. Whether planning actions against unethical landlords with tenants & regularly hosting solidarity benefit parties in Portland, or fostering safe dancing spaces with her queer family when she lived in Savannah GA, Cecilia has found ways to expand upon the notion of a “community in motion”. She has released on @sorry-records, @sweat-equity, @c-g-i-records, @propertrax, and @nichenbump to name a few. 

This EP is four cuts of C Powers’ signature touch applied to a hybrid blend of electro, breaks, and bass. There’s high-octane energy as well as a power in the spaces between. These four tracks balance “maximum” and “minimum” and will slap the fascism right out of any environment they’re dropped in. 

“Skidlet” opens up the A side with a skippy, positively vulnerable melody that trades off with bass lines that are having a sensuous dance with each other in the middle of the mix. It builds to a big bubbly climax and brings you down for the next track, “ACAB Shimmer”, which brings the staccato acid line in right when you want it. Add in big bass boops and clubby kicks and spacey crescendos. Surefire dancefloor bombshell! 

Skip to the B side and “Sky Hammer” slams down with some funky and hard electro. Plenty of wonk on top for the trippy but still peak dance floor moments. “CompuRink” closes the EP out with some more electro-fied acid with a touch of vocoder vocal moments to set it off and end it right. All 4 cuts are dancefloor boomscapes!

Long time friend, affiliate and musical chameleon Hugo Massien debuts Outer Reach on KAIZEN. An expansive 3-tracker, combining big room breaks and bass with emotional house and wobbly 2step.

Boasting an impressive back-catalogue on XL, Tectonic and some of the biggest labels on the UK club circuit, we're super chuffed to be welcoming Hugo to the KAIZEN family.

Since shelling down KAIZEN KLUB 5 years ago at our early ‘Bussey Building’ raves, playing a stack of unreleased heaters that tore up the dancefloor, this alliance has been a longtime coming.

A ‘hands-in-the-air’, feel-good breakbeat banger built for the Ravers. In a move reminiscent to some of Bicep’s biggest anthems, crackling with energy and old-skool jungle breaks that ride along warbling synths and chopped-up vocals, this explosive 130 club tool blends the rave with the ambient. A hybrid we’ve come to know and love in true Massien-fashion.

PREMIERE: C Powers - Sky Hammer (Fixed Rhythms)

This very day, exactly 100 years ago, the great musician and drummer Max Roach landed on earth. Today, in a serendipitous alignment of time, we decided so to give light to a project that’s been quietly brewing.

This track, built on some late 70s compositions by him and and another master like Anthony Braxton, is the first hook to all the ideas and to what is to come.

Join us on this journey. Good Musik is born!

Deep within the freeway buzz of dystopian Los Angeles, there exists an unstoppable sonic gathering of minds, who call themselves “Fast At Work” and abide by a belief in the deeper potential of higher tempos. However, lately there has been some debate about the true existence of the Fast At Work mantra. Just as the debate was reaching its climax, seemingly out of nowhere, a helicopter emerged containing a musical capsule from the future (or possibly aliens). The group accepted this music as scripture, and coined it “Soft Fascination,” – naming group member Carré as their chosen matriarch. Through the title hymn “Soft Fascination,” Carré preached a proto vision of a classic dubstep bassline and tender pads. With “Cute Mad,” Carré magically induced a sense of positivity and bubbly bass. And with the third offering, “Glowing,” she pushed her audience closer to understanding simplicity and space. Finally, in an effort to expand their gospel to the furthest realms of their musical world, she recruited Priori and James Bangura to create their own missions, rooted in the original offerings of the alien helicopter’s capsule disc. While Priori expertly rearranged “Soft Fascination” into a shiny mind-melter, James Bangura expanded on the lightness of “Glowing,” creating his own lucid dreamscape of deep melancholia.

FAW001: Carré - Soft Fascination EP w/ Priori + James Bangura Remixes

Following his 2021 debut on the reverse label with Retreat Ites EP and a spot on the Molten Mirrors compilation, Jurango is back on Livity Sound with another four tracks of low-slung soundsystem pressure. 

On An Amorphous Mass EP Jurango presents a particularly focused sound which draws on halftime D&B, dancehall and broken techno all filtered through the meditative pulse of low tempo club music. The measured pace of the tracks doesn’t detract from their weight, whether it manifests in the heavy roll of murky opener ‘Big Saver’, ‘Inner Seam’s mutant dembow rhythm or the heady breakbeat chops of the title track. The stripped-back subs and fractured percussion of ‘Muni Ce Boa’ close the record in potent yet understated style, proving minimal music doesn’t have to compromise on impact for the dance.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙚 : Kamyar Ring - Black Clover [J A D E]

I wrote ‘Joy’ as an expression of gratitude to the people I love; my girlfriend, family, and friends. They’ve been by my side through the coldest and darkest moments; through my grief. My last single, ‘Better days’ represented the transition out of winter into spring. ‘Joy’ represents the summer, a time to share happiness with the people I care about the most. They are my Joy.
