STD004/ Standard - Comma (EP)

Following his remix for Max Cooper, Mattr’s next releases are two electronica / breaks tracks on his own imprint Loft & Sound. With these two records Mattr continues to build out his crafted approach to electroni- ca with two intricately layered and textural records. A-break features syncopated melodies, heavy bass and melancholic pads. Corps fuses granular synthesis and found sounds with delicate instrumental flutters to create an atmospheric record.

Mattr is a leftfield house and electronica producer, DJ, visual artist and label owner from Birmingham. He's had a busy 12 months with a remix of the classic house record by Mephisto (1992) followed by his own four track EP on the legendary Renaissance, two remixes for Berlin trio Akzenth, his first release on Balance Recordings and a remix for Max Cooper to round the year out. In between he's produced several releases on his own imprint - Loft & Sound and has a remix for Grammy nominated Steven Weston for an upcoming release.

@daddyhyphen 's new imprint, @rezonantbody launches with 4 diverse cuts of raw and provocative dance music.

With a nod to rudimental strains of Trip-Hop, Hardcore & Jungle-Techno, Hyphen’s ‘i am rezonant’ [RZB001] refracts a simultaneously haunting, bracing & solacing sound through a modernist lens.

Following his work as an artist and label manager with Bristol's eclectic Canapé Records, a uniquely focused aesthetic is delivered on Rezonant Body's inaugural release. Metallic percussion scuttles and clangs amidst playfully dubbed-out soundscapes, showcasing Hyphen's atypical approach to mixing and arranging electronic music.

PREMIERE: Daddy Hyphen - 16oz masculinity, 16oz sky [Rezonant Body]

Kuna Maze delivers his new album ‘Night Shift’ via the UK’s Tru Thoughts this June, featuring collaborations with Steve Spacek, Mivda and Reinel Bakole across its thirteen tracks.

Brussels-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ, Edouard Gilbert aka Kuna Maze, has been steadily making his mark on the contemporary electronic music scene over the past few years. Delivering collaborative projects for the likes of Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM (Test Press Club), Lyon’s Galant, Parisian label Cascade and of course Tru Thoughts where he makes a welcome return here following his ‘Débuts’ LP alongside Nikitch in 2020 and their 2022 ‘Back & Forth’ LP.

With the ‘Night Shift’ album, Kuna Maze offers up a variety of jazz and soul infused compositions, from hazy downtempo offerings like ‘On The Way’, ‘Smoke Break’ and ‘Late Night Tales’, more ethereal deep house feels with ‘Dawn’ and more UK bruk tinged cuts like ‘Zeitnot’, ‘Samosa’, ‘Broken Light’ and ‘Jimbo’. Gilbert also further displays his depth of sound and style through the Steve Spacek collaborative ‘Told U’ which leans into lo-fi hip hop aesthetics while further featured tracks radiantly display the core influence of the Kuna Maze sound, acid jazz, on tracks like ‘First Order’, ‘Late Night Tales’, ‘Don’t Know ft. Midva’ and the smooth, soulful vocals from Reinel Bakole which accompany ‘Reflections’.

Once again Kuna Maze delivers a unique listening experience through the ‘Night Shift’ LP, guiding listeners to traverse through his many musical influences and his ever-unfolding journey as an artist.

PREMIERE: Standard - Precious

Almost three years after the release of their first album, «Cycle I», the Standard duo comes back with a four tracks EP, soberly entitled «Comma», thought as a punctuation to introduce the second cycle of releases of the Standard Records label. Although the whole EP is marked by a Break and Acid character, and provided with a resolutely UK identity, the omnipresence of vocal samples coming from hits of the 90’s and 2000’s, gives it a pop dimension adapted to dancefloors.

Everything Merged Vol 2
(release Dec 2)

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations in 2021, as well as countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 2” features both artists debuting their first tracks on a label as well as mainstays of core local scenes like London, NYC, SF and Berlin. From the percussive mastery of Sister Zo, Arcane Prospect and Manchester's DR MYSTERY to the sly techno mutations of Kudeki, Clay Wilson and Pino Peña, this collection highlights the wide variety of sounds and influences inhibiting the current electronic scene. Especially check out the post-pando exuberance of uuklyph, Henry Kerins and Padua and the bass mutations of Dutch duo TMSV & Case, Kenji Ko, Ragdy and Rex the Bard!

Everything Merged vol 2

Arcane Prospect - Plaga (3024-MEN5)

The title refers to the central theme of the ep which refers to a psychological principle of “projection”, whereby you project certain (negative) qualities onto others without them being necessarily right. Quite often the projections say a lot more about the person who’s doing the projecting rather than the person on the receiving end. This track is a journey, owing to tracks like Massive Attacks’ “Unfinished Sympathy”, trying to make a lot of breaks work together and fuzzy warm Korg sounds.

Collab wit @rukazaya
Lyrics:
are you a failure, or just afraid?
every scar’s just truth replayed
ayane swings, the pain cascades
cut my pride with the edge she made

are you a faker, or just decayed?
mask so clean, but my trust’s betrayed.
blink and fade, that neon shade,
I crash inside the world I made.

am I a liar or just unsure?
hide my hurt but I crave the cure
some days strong some days blurred

keep on asking what’s my cost
why do I fight just to feel lost?
every gain feel double-crossed
what’s the point if I pay that loss?
