Twockin'

Pre-order: https://eventhestrong.bandcamp.com/album/yeyeyeye

Both based in Bristol, @djpolo-uk and @nkc have held down a joint show on the city’s newly inaugurated station SWU FM since November 2020. The show found the sweet spot between their sounds, with NKC’s penchant for gritty, mechanoid percussion meshing with DJ Polo’s love for the more soulful, technicolour side of drum-focused club music.

With venues finally reopening in the summer, Polo and NKC launched their clubnight SteamRooms at the Crofters Rights in Bristol in September. The party spotlights both established and upcoming artists pushing the syncopated bounce forwards in UK dance music, featuring Scratchclart and AYAYA for the first instalment.

ETS-YEYEYEYE came about through this ongoing collaboration. The tracks take hybrid influence from the genres and subgenres that DJ Polo and NKC spin on their radio show and at SteamRooms – UK funky, hard drum, tribal house, gqom, amapiano – without slotting straightforwardly into any of them. Both are focused on maximum dancefloor impact: concrete percussion linked up with dramatic builds and wild sound design. ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah’ became the collab mantra, progressively abbreviated and sped up to ‘yeyeyeye’ as they hit on more unruly ideas.

@elirrealveintiuno - Irrealidades
Format: Digital
Release: March 31st, 2023

Irrealidades is the new album from Mexican scene stalwart Bryan Dálvez, El Irreal Veintiuno on Infinite Machine. Although his reputation is well-established at home through EPs and tracks on NAAFI, Subreal and Infinite Machine itself, Irrealidades comes across as his boldest and most cohesive statement yet.

The album is a kaleidoscopic survey of Mexico’s rich sonic landscape, as well as an ambitious attempt to encompass the country’s historical becoming: from the rich, imagined sounds of pre-hispanic times to its current war-torn reality.

But an academic pursuit this isn’t and this is still very much music for the body. From the get-go, drums burn and rhythms gallop; sharp, aggressive synths insist and prod. Un respiro, the album’s mid-point gives us exactly that, a breather, albeit an emotionally charged one. Soon enough the second half of the record returns to polyrhythmic fury and ravey turbulence. We reach fever pitch on closer Minorías, envisioned by Bryan as a sonic representation of the eschaton: “the last track is merely the end of everything”.

Throughout the record disjointed voices loop endlessly before managing to articulate a single intelligible word. Maybe, Irrealidades seems to say, we are also caught in a loop, unable to break out from the cycle of violence and marching irredeemably (but with healthy curiosity) into The End, when Quetzalcóatl makes his glorious return.

"Greg is not only the incarnation of an electronic dance less centered on tradition and the Western culture, he is the face of its future, inexorably" Olivier lamm, Libération, Nov 2021

The Paris-based Mauritian artist GREG is without a doubt one of the French newcomers whose rise has been the most spectacular in recent years.
 Following his very first EP "Eau Coulée Smart City" released in 2021 on lavibe, he immediately found himself propelled under the spotlight: selected by DJ MAG UK among the 11 emerging artists to follow, described in a complete portrait on Libération as "one of the hottest talents of French dance music", the medias are numerous to want to discover the young artist, from France Inter to Radio nova or Pan african music, and his EP unanimously praised by the specialized press, from Resident Advisor to Trax magazine.

GREG became very quickly an icon of the new French scene that brings electronic music out of its classical boundaries. First of all for his impressive DJ talents, mixing outstanding technical skills and eclectic selections, which earned him invitations to Nuits Sonores (Lyon), Nyege Nyege festival (Paris & Amsterdam), and in most of the key clubs in Europe and France, including b2b performances with respected artists such as Teki latex, Kampire, Bambounou or Simo Cell. But he is also acclaimed as a producer, especially with his hit "Dembow Tronico" featuring the Latin Grammy awarded beatmaker King Doudou, which trigger a wave of Shazam requests every time it's played on the radioshow or a club.

 After a huge anticipation from all of his fans, the Mauritian artist is finally ready to unveil his new ep Jazz Net, on April 13th on lavibe.

 Gqom, Techno, Dancehall, Footwork, Bass music... with this new release, the young talent steps up the musical genres hybridation with even more subtlety, especially in the rhythmical patterns, making the tracks at the same time stylistically indefinable, singular to the point of not being able to link them to a particular scene, but always with the dancefloor in sight, be it at 130 or 95bpm.
Composed from his home studio, the 4 original tracks were then reworked in terms of additional programming and mixing in collaboration with the producer and sound designer LE DOM, partly at Redbull Studio (Paris).
And as a link with his first EP, Greg asked the godfather of the French Bass music scene Simo Cell (Livity Sound, BFDM, Temet) to produce 2 remixes of the banger "Dembow Tronico" released in 2021. The talented Nantes based producer delivered 2 new versions, dissecting the original track, injecting many effects (work on vocals, ASMR ...) and bringing it in a new dimension, even more DJ friendly, but still faithful to the basic track.
