Galtier enters for his fifth instalment on his own label with ‘Opaque Envelopes’; an exploration of frequency and tilted sound processing across four slick, mid-tempo creations. Having leant heavily into hardware-focused productions, Galtier has refined his use of raw, one-take recordings and hand-crafted audio inflections, carving out a space dripping with feedback channels, aggressive modulation and dense, weighty sub bass, the collection makes for a set of highly functional, warehouse-ready rollers.

The EP carries itself along a subtle, evolutionary line, where Galtier hones in on transient, shifting soundscapes of rich, searing synthetics, all glued together with tight, syncopated rhythms that channel dubstep and electro. The intention is for each piece to sound alive; teeming with a life of its own, full of personality and vitality that breathes throughout. A significantly mature body of work that encapsulates the decade and a half journey into sound that he has embarked on.

[Premiere] First Epoque - POD-03 (out on Bad Tips)

Pre-order: https://nostrohoodsystem.bandcamp.com/album/opaque-envelopes

@galtier returns to his @nostro-hood-system label with a fifth instalment, ‘Opaque Envelopes’, an exploration of frequency and tilted sound processing across four slick, mid-tempo creations.

On 'Bitrate Swamp', textural sub bass flicks and undulates, occupying the same space as processed, low-bitrate slices of hi-hat goodness. The aura is sharp, vicious and ominous, bordering on sheer orotund in nature.

Premiere: Kessler ‘The Roots, The Truth’

Amity kick off their year with ‘RICOCHET’, a precision-engineered various artists compilation that echoes across the underground bass continuum with unrelenting force. Following in the wake of their acclaimed debut V/A release ‘KILLS TWO BIRDS’, the UK label returns with another expertly curated selection of weighty percussive mutations, dubwise spectres, and low-end futurism. Gathering a rogues gallery of cutting-edge producers including Honeydrip, VVS1, Beaabea, Aaliyah Salem, Elpac, Kessler, Dom Carlo, Mulholland, Eyra & Yeye, the compilation locks in on Amity’s ethos of deep sonic exploration and fearless club experimentation.

From spectral dancehall shadows to heavy gravitational half-step, ‘RICOCHET’ operates on the fringes, where outsider sound system pressure and rhythmic dexterity collide. Each track strikes with intent, shifting, morphing, and rebounding off its surroundings in a percussive interplay of movement and tension. Dub sensibilities loom large, with ricocheting echoes and tactile sub-bass weaponry built for intimate spaces and cavernous halls alike. Yet, far from a scattershot affair, the compilation’s sequencing maintains a hypnotic flow, guiding listeners through surging rhythms and raw kinetic energy.

A masterclass in low-end propulsion, ‘RICOCHET’ proves Amity’s marksmanship in showcasing the most vital strains of contemporary underground club music.
