Worst Behavior, Vol. 4

Premiere: bastiengoat ‘to a level where love is real’

There were rules to this business, it wasn’t like any stranger could walk in off the street and make it to the top with a few flashy moves. There were principles which had to be learnt, experiences which would humble even the hardest of street veterans.

This sort of stuff took time, time he didn’t have.

Instead, he was looking for the quick, fast flick which might separate him from the rest and streamline his career to the top rank.

Some sort of trick, some sort of technology which might short circuit the whole game.

Cassius Select brings the Bass on a new compilation for Bristol label Amity. Featuring alongside the likes of Pluralist and qgb – this one packs a punch, the kind which stings for a while after.

Vancouver’s @destratavan debuts on Scuffed Recordings with three warping, club-ready tracks. 

In his short career so far, Destrata has worked with a who’s who of essential underground labels, making his debut in 2021 on Martyn’s seminal 3024 with the hybrid drum workout ‘Bait & Switch’. 

Now making his first appearance on London’s Scuffed Recordings, Destrata offers up three new tracks on the Mutationist EP.

On the title track, Destrata lays out a statement of intent with chopped vocals, lurching bass and tension-building synths.

Monstart is proud to present the label's twentieth release, which will be available November 24, 2023. This "Stepping Out" EP is the result of the collaboration of two French artists: Ouanounou - the head of the label - and Gipsyan - a talented producer from Montpellier.

With "Stepping Out" this original duo pays tribute to their common musical preferences, which are in the mood of the UK & US underground scenes - hard drums, juke, footwork - and global bass. The result is a body of work that is technical, heavy, percussive, yet extremely harmonious. A musical journey into the club world, from 130 to 160 BPM.

"Stepping Out" is a 10-track album by Ouanounou and Gipsyan. They have combined their science and studio approach to create a work that is made for the dancefloor.

After participating in an artistic residency last January, the two artists began a deep process of reflection and creation aimed at defining their perspective of club music in 2023.

The project was based on the idea of liberation and artistic self-affirmation. On the occasion of this 20th release, "Stepping Out" will also be available in a limited edition on vinyl, marking the label's very first physical release.

----------

“7 years after my first EP and all the experience gained in clubs and studios, I'm delighted to release this project with Gipsyan on my own label. For me, it's a complete project drawing on the many influences that have shaped my artistic identity. It's an EP made for clubs and dancefloors, which required a lot of introspection and artistic bias to bring to life. I'm also very proud to have so many talented remixers on this release, who have taken the tracks beyond anything I could have imagined.”

“This project is a culmination, via Monstart, a label that motivated me because it was the only one I was in contact with even before joining through their events. This project inspires me with instantaneity and the uncompromising sharing of trends. It's a warlike, dynamic EP. It represents the common ground we share with Ouanounou personally, more than artistically. The result is raw and with a positive masculine energy.”

Illustrator Antoine Paikert, aka Esquive Studio, worked closely with Monstart on 'Stepping Out', to define the visual dimension of the project. Here, he offers a contemplative yet dynamic composition in the image of the EP, where two human figures face each other and embody visions of a future conducive to emancipation.

Monstart was born 14 years ago, out of love and celebration. The fruit of the meeting of Ouanounou (DJ) and Chatte Chatoyante (dancer-performer). 

With its pack of artists coming from all over the world, the label has been exploring club music and culture. Not caring about adhering to one specific genre, they draw from all of their combined influences to create a hybrid project.

With one idea in mind : to be together while celebrating the richness of human singularities.

Since 2009, 70 events mixing music and performances, 19 releases on the label (EPs and compilations) and a 5 years residency on Rinse France have allowed them to express their own vision of club music. After 5 years of Rinse’s residency,  Monstart is experiencing a new chapter with their homies of Piñata Radio by starting a musical journey, becoming their new monthly hosts. 

“For us dance and music are inseparable. We approach them in a personal, visceral and inclusive way. We don’t care about fitting in.”

Since 2019, the label has opened its publishing and sync branch named 'AudioScore', producing music for worldwide advertising campaigns.
