Ripples EP

EXCLUSIVE: Akito & Noire - Ripples

Premiering 'Bruv Bruv Bruv' by Zonaa ( @z_o_n_a_a) taken from the TIDAL SIMULATION EP out  October 27, 2021 via @high_digital

High Digital warmly welcomes Zonaa for the final release of its CD series. The Parisian producer makes a point of delivering a strong hybrid vision for his first outing under this alias, shifting from dark dnb to softer sonic adventures, diluting club heavy quantum leaps into psychedelic liquid. Music made to be felt deep in your bones.

🌍MONSTART VOL.6 - TOGETHERNESS HARMONY 🌍

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE ON OUR BANDCAMP 🖤
(100% SALES FROM BANDCAMP GOES TO OUR ARTISTS, SUPPORT THEM & SUPPORT THE CLUB MUSIC CULTURE)

Two years after our last release, the repression, bans and closures related to the health crisis have become unbearable. Following surreal government injunctions such as the ban on group dancing, we felt the need to bring artists together to compile a compilation for a return to our essence, the fundamental importance of being together and saturation of the senses are palpable.

This feeling of renewal is similar to the arrival of spring after winter, or a cry of joy to celebrate the sensory experience of a club and remember that our bodies need to dance and release to find balance and harmony with the world.

The compilation will open a dialogue on human trance rituals.

We propose to 12 artists to be part of an adventure that brings to light a new era of club culture. Let's open a new chapter together, where all kinds of musical eccentricities are allowed, where we free ourselves from the rules of the world before.

Monstart Vol.6 : Togetherness Harmony

The Day The Earth Exploded

Phatrax - The Day The Earth Exploded

HTS is very proud to welcome back Tokyo-based DJ and producer WRACK (@wrack90) after his appearance on our latest compilation "Seven Seas".

For his first full release on the label, WRACK continues to expand his palette of rough club cuts & sci-fi inspired bangers with a 4-track EP titled « Yozakura » (a word describing cherry blossoms at night, as commonly seen in Tokyo). A proof that despite the certain hardness of his sound, it doesn’t lack any emotions and beauty. 

On the first track named as the EP, we find an atmosphere of scientists technologies dismantled by vocal gimmicks and sharp rhythms, giving the feeling of a take-off at maximum speed aboard a spaceship jostled by tumultuous gusts of wind, desperately seeking to find some air and stability. Once calmed on board, we go through « Pak », a fresh isle infused by elements of Reggaeton & Dembow causing jerky breathing due to temperature changes. 

On « Tribell », the scenery changes as we’re thrown into the middle of a heat wave, loaded with UK Funky drums, screams and fever-inducing bell sounds. After recovering, « Ai » (meaning simply « Love ») closes the trip with some sort of R&B vocals cutted by grimey techniques in a Ruff Sqwad manner, finishing in a 4x4 section rhythm as tough and sincere as the feelings revealed in this whole EP.

NHD006 - Henzo - Stretford Blues

https://henzo.bandcamp.com/album/stretford-blues-ep

Finishing off Henzo’s banner 2022 that has seen releases on YCO and Peder Mannerfelt Produktion, the Manchester based producer dials back the tempo into 5 cuts of gloom-ridden dancefloor damagers for his Nervous Horizon debut. Running the gamut of Dancehall, Techno and Drum & Bass, the EP’s refined palette is laser-guided in its intention of favouring groove and atmosphere over melody and hooks.

The opening track, 'Survivorship Bias', rolls out a lurching and smudged drum break over an equally sketchy Donk and vocal sample in a Bolton-meets-Belgium chug affair. 'It’s Ours and Hours Alone' and 'Writhing' lean more towards a typical Dancehall rhythm, smattered with the reticulated percussion that Nervous Horizon have been known for, saturated and growling. 'His Troublesome Knees' sees a variation on the theme of the opener, with the addition of harrowing, gnarly strings that posit drama in the riff that runs almost throughout; An inescapable tension that juxtaposes the highly danceable groove. Rounding out Stretford Blues, 'A Pocket You Didn’t Expect' feels like 3 tempos at once: 82, 164 and 328BPM. The battering, unrelenting kicks laced over taut breaks and hats hark to Jungle Techno and Tech Step in their composition, but the drawn out and bleak orchestral breakdown, coupled with a barking, irate bassline, suggest that Henzo shows no allegiance to nostalgia and is moving intently into the future.

@aye5ha's 'Natural Phenomena' is built on a bedrock of stuttering syncopation: bells caught in the splash of a sub-kick, or the bracing rattle of chopped breaks. Forthcoming on @kindergartenrecords.

Monstart was born 16 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, 80 events mixing music and performances, 21 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.
