Club Designs, the electro-inspired record label, proudly announces it’s 10th release, a 3 track EP, CDMUSIC010, written and produced by Ardalan & Farsight. The release also includes a huge remix by Vancouver’s esteemed mainstay, Max Ulis.

Ardalan and Farsight are both extremely accomplished musicians in their own right. Peruvian-American Farsight has had a string of recent releases on labels like Scuffed, Cloudcore and most recently, Rinse FM’s own label. He also recently delivered a top notch set for Boiler Room, including the first play of Cerebral Peanut. Iranian-born Ardalan has been spreading his nascent party brand “Ardy Party”, all over North America while maintaining a dynamic range in styles from releases on Pets Recordings, Toy Tonics, and Dirtybird and more “Disco-Centric” projects such as Escapade and Diablo Discobar.

The two of them have joined forces to deliver a collaborative release that exemplifies the label’s commitment to the reimagination of the classic Electro sound. This milestone release showcases the unique blend of styles that have become synonymous with Club Designs, combining classic electro drums, weird and hypnotic melodies, and a funky and futuristic sonic palette that engages listeners from start to finish.

Club Designs alumni and Slab Events founder Max Ulis is already known for his musical chops with releases on Sloth Boogie, Pacific Rhythm, and most recently, a vinyl release on Vrnt. Ulis flips the original track on its head, and re-engineers it as a late night shoulder roller. Perfect for that 4am warehouse set.

Club Designs’ 10th release stands as a testament to the label’s dedication to fostering innovative talent and pushing the boundaries of electro-inspired music. As the label continues to make waves in the industry, this release serves as a milestone, celebrating all we have accomplished for far. 2024 is set to be a big year for the label, with a number of solo EPs lined up, as well as the next installment in their beloved VA series.

LA party crew @fastatwork launches its label with a new EP from resident @CARREO.

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.

Premiere: Carré 'Soft Fascination'

The cave was pitch black, inside there was little sound but for the occasional drip of water which would send a ripple through the pond below. Looking down from up above, they wondered what lay in the murky depths of the quarry. What surprises might be but round the corner? What creatures? What comforts? What tricks? What treats?

That’s when there was a deep rumble from the ground below. It bellowed up through the cave like some loud drum before enveloping their eardrums with a might thud.

Then they flew forth, bats and bats and bats and bats.

Will Hofbauer steps forth for an EP on Will Saul’s longstanding record label Aus. This is a record built of playful bouncey house grooves, oddball sounds and fun. It’s destined to work a treat in the clubs with a silly sense of purpose and a tongue n’ cheek approach to the dance.

@dyslecta steps up with ‘Woldsman001', marking the first instalment of a new self-released series exploring leftfield dancefloor sounds, lively bass tweaks and percussive club tools.

"Lynchpinn’ offers groove-laden 4x4 rhythms somewhere between classic Detroit and new-school techno," says the Yorkshire-born producer. "Its pulsating bass weaves throughout the track, offset by Jeff Mills-esque synth stabs to create an undulating dancefloor weapon."

Premiere: Dyslecta 'Lynchpinn'

Pre-order: https://ditto.fm/duality-blumitsu

‘THE FORMULA’ is the debut release from @blumitsu, the combined forces of UK club heavyweights @bluetooof and @jossymitsu, exploring their shared love of electro and techno.

Opener ‘DUALITY’ encompasses the approach perfectly with its sinister arpeggiated bassline and dystopian voice sampling laying out the conceptual framework of the project: “The state of having two opposing parts combining as one.”

Premiere: BLUMITSU 'DUALITY'

Vief’s next fundraiser compilation, as voted for by the 14 contributors to the release, is raising money for Palestine Solidarity Campaign to aid their work in building public support for an end to atrocities currently taking place in Gaza.

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7th October 2023, the disproportionate response by the Israeli armed forces and government has led to (at the time of writing):

• At least 31,923 people killed, of which more than 13,000 are children (Al Jazeera)
• The destruction or damage of more than half of Gaza’s homes (360,000 residential units) (Al Jazeera).
• ‘Catastrophic’ levels of hunger for more than 1 million people and an ‘imminent’ famine in northern Gaza (the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification).

On 26th January 2024, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take “immediate and effective measures” to protect Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from the risk of genocide by ensuring sufficient humanitarian assistance and enabling basic services. Amnesty International and Oxfam have accused Israel of defying this ruling.

“Israeli authorities are not only failing to facilitate the international aid effort but are actively hindering it. We believe that Israel is failing to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide.”

Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam Middle East and North Africa Director. Oxfam.

It has been heartening to see the volume of fundraisers in the dance music world for this cause, and we all really hope you like the tracks in this release. Any support will be very much appreciated!

London outfit Kassian continue their broadly-evolving yet highly detailed journey through and beyond sound towards something ever more expansive. Their second release for !K7 Records comes in the wake of creating a dedicated hardware-forward studio in a Northeast London container complex, where they have the freedom to interlink their machines. This renewed focus brought them to Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

The immediacy of the restless rhythm and bass-led funk of “Yena” forms a sweet spot where double-time and half-time can coexist. The word Yena translates to ‘he / him / man’, and the punchy male vocal loop punctuates the track’s deep swing, enhanced by amapiano log drums sped-up to a glassy pitch.

“Yami” (‘mine’ in Zulu) is a slinkier proposition which sheds prominent percussion in favour of a weighty, fluid, acid-informed bassline undulating from below. Contrasted against its jutting female vocals and sharp synth pads, the track cultivates dancefloor anticipation, accented by skittering percussion and time-stretched acid disintegration.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

A dubbed-out groove dominates the bottom-heavy “Sistema Baile”, established by a leading Roland System 1 synth line. It is a groovy, steady roller that chugs and propels and chugs with head-nod hypnotism through an intricately minimalistic approach.

Premiere: Dyslecta 'Lynchpinn'
