2021: April Premieres

APRIL 2021

Light dance

Ramuma

Pagan has been quietly building repute as one of Ireland and the UK’s most exciting up and comers, building a sonic palette that weaves in and out of trance-like euphoria, gun finger breaks and vibrant techno; tied together with an overwhelming sense of largeness. 

With recent plaudit pick-ups from some of the UK’s most exciting underground artists (Breaka, Denham Audio, DJ Boring, X-Coast) for his high-energy blend of low ceiling, low lighting world building, Pagan readies the release of the inaugural EP on Cheeky Music Group sub-label RRRAAAVVVEEE.

‘Butterfly’ kicks things off with a cut of introspective breaks; tranced-out melodies creating a sense of hair-raising emotion and vastness - a perfect peak-timer for those little personal moments of awe on the dance floor. ‘Ways You Went’ is a 50/50 blend of hard dance and classic trance: pounding rhythms and fun melodies scoring the silliness, before having to wipe your cut knuckles clean from punching the roof too hard.

‘The Depot’ brings back memories of Irish heads in packed-out basements; that sense of largeness steadily building amongst inspired energy, trance-techno and unapologetic UK bassline, before ‘Dreams of You’ casts a grey cloud speckled with dying sunlight into the frame with its ambient techno aesthetic and thoughtful emotion.

"Butterfly" drops Friday 21st May via RRRAAAVVVEEE.

I first met @sglewis during a 3 day studio trip to London on December 2017, the nicest dude to hang out and work with. We had a connection from before obviously with the remix I did for him that I’m still super proud of.

We worked on a few beats at his place, mixed genres, and ended up releasing a dreamy funk track called 'Tides' on his 'Dusk' EP in 2018.

When I started working on the Daybreak EP it knew I wanted to make music with someone as nice and talented as him again. We spent an afternoon listening to demos and jamming at his London studio and I came home with a 1 minute bounce and these haunting chords.

After a while, and the magic of @maxrbaby for the bass, 'Crossing Paths' was there. It’s a club track with the organic feel I think we both look for in music. So happy to have this one out with you bro !

Out May 7, pre-order it here: https://hiddenelement.bandcamp.com/album/cycles-ep

@hiddenelement, the solo project of Igor Kirilenko, presents the ‘Cycles’ EP on the @1000xxplace imprint — the last instalment of the three-part album. It features three dance tracks, an ambient meditation, and two remixes by Throwing Snow and Nocow.

Following ‘Comparisons’ and ‘Kontinuum’, the final part follows the same concept of the former two. The material of the trilogy was written between 2017 and 2020, which included one year of living in the United States. In this regard, tracks like ‘Final Approach’ and several others were written during the artist’s difficult adaptation period in California. This piece of work reflects his personal process of finding the self, and, as a consequence, returning to Kyiv.

Premiere: Hidden Element 'A Nice And Quiet Moment'

Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label fires back into action this Spring, with a mouthwatering collaboration between the label head honcho and Jamie Jones, who needs no introduction The release comes backed with remixes from house music stalwarts Butch and Ray Mono.

With a friendship and professional relationship that goes back years, Richy Ahmed and Jamie Jones have often paired up and sparred with each other, via ping pong-ing releases on the Hot Creations label, B2B DJ sets in Ibiza and beyond, to studio collaborations. Incredibly, these brace of tracks are the first officially released ‘fruits of their labour’ when it comes to their joint productions, and it’s most definitely worth the wait.

https://hylu137.bandcamp.com/album/latent-variables-vol-1

Latent Variables Vol. 1 is the debut solo EP from Unit 137’s founder, Hylu. The three track record is characterised by its bass heavy foundations layered with unexpected rhythms, synth lines and samples. Expertly crafted percussion fill the tracks, providing constantly shifting sounds and textures. Undefined by one genre, ‘Latent Variables Vol. 1’ draws influences from across the electronic scene: dub, hip-hop, jungle and experimental can all be heard in this release. Hylu’s debut EP shows the full force of his production skills, taking him out of his usual role as ‘producer for vocalist’ and letting his own electronic style flourish.

The opening track of the EP and lead single, Zaf, builds slowly, interspersing deep dub baselines, catchy riffs and jungle rhythms. Hylu never rests for long on one sound, constantly sonically experimenting; a single filled with the unexpected.

The EP came into being through a collaborative experiment between Hylu and the visual artist Latent Variables. The pair decided to write together, sending visuals and music back and forth, with the intention of creating short animations with sound. They set parameters to the experiment; they chose the tempos of 90bpm, 120bpm and 150bpm as this would mean - when using the frame rate of 25fps and within a certain amount of bars and frames - that the videos and music would end at 60 seconds. The resulting short animations became the framework for Hylu to develop his EP.

The long method involves a shuffle of the feet that rocks the body back and forth. This is a style favored by fighters with long reach, who use more of jabs and straight shots. The short method sees the fighter move his head and body to the left and right, constantly slipping punches and moving in for closer body shots.

The term shadowboxing is also used in psychology, referring to the process of overcoming a negative self-image which, for example, prevents one from achieving success.
