K-LONE - 'Deluxe' (WSDM020)

We’re very happy to release this 2-track EP by Soul Beat Runna. He previously released a Free DL single (https://soundcloud.com/samsarab/soul-beat-runna-sly?in=samsarab/sets/singles-free-download)with our label that has been largely appreciated by our audience and supported by many DJs. 

The title-track is a 4x4 high energy old school, bass-driven track with a very interesting use of scat samples. The second track is more introspective with its trippy arpeggios.

Last but not least, ALL the proceeds of the EP will be donated to Mind https://www.mind.org.uk

“The idea for True Rebels came to me at the end of 2020. I wanted to make a Footwork/Jungle/160 track that paid homage to early Detroit Techno pioneers such as Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins. The piano riff came first and then the tune practically wrote itself. For the B-Side I made a couple of tracks that didn't make the grade and then came up with a 16 bar loop that I thought was ok. I struggled to think of a way to make it more interesting and then found a tune in my collection with the scat loop that I used to complete it. Ironically the B-Side turned out to be the better track so that is the title of the EP!
Regarding my decision to donate the profits to charity, my girlfriend and I have benefited greatly from the support of the people at Mind (https://www.mind.org.uk) over the years and I want to give something back to an organization that has changed our lives for the better, forever. Thanks to everyone supporting me and my music, I hope you enjoy the tunes.”

Soul Beat Runna - Runnin'

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

Atlanta resident Nikki Nair invites you to join his new 4 track EP on Astrophonica - 'Renormalization Support Group'. It's a place where we can share our experiences via the help of Nikki's special 'not quite sure what you call it' bass lead Electro Breakbeat programme.

Track one is 'Plug' - An uptempo low slung booty shaker which will have sound engineers scrambling at cables and faders trying to work out wtf is going on. We've all been there so let's talk about it. 

Track two is 'Where Are U' and encourages us to ask ourselves that question through the exploration of full speed Breakbeat Electro. If we know where we are, we can begin to look into where we are going. Probably the dance floor.

Track three is 'it's NP-Complicated' which sets out an uncomplicated blend of bubbling bass and simple sympathetic drums, providing us with a network to feel more empowered and to build a sense of community. 

Track four is 'Donut Time' - Well done for finishing the course! You can congratulate yourself with a donut full of squelchy acid jam, glazed with frosted pads and hi hat sprinkles.

Anna Morgan - DAME DURO!

Over the last six years, Bell Curve and Anna Morgan’s Worst Behavior Recs label has been championing the most exciting producers coming out of the bass underground around the world. Worst Behavior, Vol. 4 is the last installment of their Worst Behavior compilation series and it’s truly a global affair, uniting producers from Amman, Moscow, Bristol, NYC, Los Angeles, Austin, and beyond over 16 tracks that show the excitement and kinetic energy of soundsystem music and culture.  

Since the dawn of Worst Behavior in fall 2017, the label has championed 160bpm heaters and you’ll find those represented prominently on this collection, with producers turning in tracks purpose-built for the label. West Country legend Addison Groove presents a hard jackin’ juke/jungle workout that mixes classic electro grooves with loopy acid squelches, while Moscow Legend flips the stuttered vocals and demanding bass stabs of his 2020 underground anthem “Tek Dis!” for a faster tempo.   Going in a dreamier direction, FreshtillDef brings the Texas heat on the totally addictive track “AIWIY,” with its melancholy vocal chops, syrup-soaked bass synths, and footwork-ready percs. Fellow Texan Sharawi teams up with Arizona-based NIKES for a loopy spiral of jungle breaks with spooky Metalheadz sounds and a dark baile energy on “Diggity,” while L.A.’s Yunna, who just released her debut EP Rinne on the label, returns with the lush ambient jungle banger “She’s Gone Low.” The bi-coastal linkup of Doctor Jeep and Farsight produces a deep drummy workout of sonar sounds, crisp breaks, and booty-rattling sub bass.   As always on the Worst Behavior compilations, dope percussion is a major focus. Hypnotic Middle Eastern percussion riffs punctuate “Gasab Sokkar,” a snaking techstep drum ‘n’ bass-inspired roller from Jordanian producer Toumba. Prolific UK superstar Samurai Breaks explores the fusion of baile funk rhythms with wobbly dubstep bass on “Oshee,” while L.A. heads KOROStyle and Justin Jay find out what happens when UK garage’s skippy drum patterns meet punishing square-wave grime bass. 

 Worst Behavior Vol. 4 rounds off with a whole heap of breakbeats at different moods and tempos, just as Anna Morgan and Bell Curve like it. Oakland favorite bastiengoat goes for an R&B-meets-rave anthem, Whys delivers punishing amen jungle pressure on “Threat Kick” and A-0 pursues the smoked-out rollers route on “Iced Out.” Slowing down the tempo, dubstep/grime heads Amadeo and Hypho get locked into tough electro rhythms on “Jefferson Park” while Czechoslovakian producer fodie j. Invests in eclectic drum machine funk on “Le Track.”   Rounding things pff, label co-founder Anna Morgan teams up with Kool Karlo for “Pop That,” a modern Baltimore club and ghettotech-inspired beat guaranteed to detonate your dancefloor, and rising Leeds star TROPHY pops in with a Bandcamp exclusive “Hush Your Mouth,” an addictive juke/jungle workout that you definitely don’t want to miss. 

 Vol. 4 of the series again establishes the Worst Behavior crew’s curatorial talents, as they connect the dots between the bass-loving underground worldwide. Forward-thinking, high-quality, and fun, these tracks represent the future of soundsystem music and culture globally. Lock in!

CHIARA NORIKO - Keep On (ANNA MORGAN Remix)

"165 BPMs" is the latest testament to UFO Parfums' rigorous belief that fragrance  and music are interrelated and interconnected. UFO Parfums has thrown raves featuring some of the world’s most important underground DJs, and the perfumer  themself has DJ’d for over 20 years, playing places like Potato Head in Singapore, Yu  Yu in Mexico City, and FAVST in Paris with artists like VTSS, DJ Assault, X Club,  Matthew Dear, DJ Python, Heidi Lawden, Nicolas Jaar, Charlie Soul Clap, and Bitter  Babe. 
Drawing inspiration from the adrenaline-fueled rhythms of rave music, 165 BPMs is  a nod to the high-octane energy of hardcore techno raves, the perfume's name pays  homage to the beats per minute that define classic gabber tracks from early-90s Rotterdam. 165 BPMs pulsates with the spirit of illicit warehouse raves,  transporting wearers to the entrancing world of underground music culture. The fragrance pays homage to the Snakepit, the epicenter of underground raves by the  L.A. River.

In true UFO Parfums fashion, 165 BPMs is accompanied by a sensory feast. A  compilation of tracks at 165 BPMs will be released on Bandcamp, featuring an  eclectic mix of bass music, footwork, breakcore, IDM, techno, and more. This 
auditory journey will feature internationally renowned artists such as Anna  Morgan, Aura T-09, Bapari, Baseck, Carré, DJ Girl, DJ Kuroneko, DJ Manny, Eau,  Glowybones, Go Wavy DJs, otodojo, SD33, Sophiaaaahjkl;8901, and Tim Reaper.  All proceeds from the compilation will directly benefit the artists, amplifying the  community spirit at the heart of UFO Parfums. 

Here's Anna Morgan's banging, turbo-rave workout 'Space Hoes!' from the compilation.

TURBO MOTO (I'd rather be raving) - ANNA MORGAN

We’ve seen enough walls this year. Walls to distance us. Walls to divide us. Gigantic walls between where we once were… And where we’re at. Now we have walls to dance to. Not just any old walls, but ‘The Walls’ built by Sun People and remixed by Anna Morgan.

The hardest hitting track from Drumskull's blazing debut album of last year gets the full 12" and digital EP treatment, re-mastered and cut here by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven, and followed by a high pressure 'Nosebleed' remix by the brilliant ETCH. On the flip, solid reworks from Benny iLL of Horsepower Productions and the prolific Coco Bryce supply contrasting takes on the Drumskull album tracks 'Battle Stations' and 'Interlocked' respectively.

Whether dancefloors and other party spots prove to be accessible this year or not, these four sure shots offer all the pressure and intensity you might require to continue to negotiate your way through the current global shit storm. Whether you are seeking escape in whatever vehicle you might have to hand, or are just getting down creatively, this EP should no doubt keep the body moving and the imagination lit.
