weird metallic ish

Banlieue enters 2022 with a bang courtesy of Mortimer Dubaton’s Athens VS Predator EP. Behind this monicker is Louis De La Gorce, an Athens-based French producer, notorious for his duo The Pilotwings and his solo project Eiger Drums Propaganda.

De La Gorce’s well-documented jocularity seeps through this release, right from its title to the track names and actual productions. This idea is approached through another angle with NEED FOR SPEED, a tune where car-related sounds are brilliantly used by the producer. Layering samples and building a tribal groove sprinkled with chopped up breaks, thick low-end bass, and a zest of vocal samples, this mutant track fit for a car chase in the eponymous video game finds its influence in modern hip hop vibes, but the spirit of rave music is never too far. The result is playful, forwarding thinking bass music that will elicit a response from listeners and dancers without fail.parallels with hard drum purveyors.

DRIFT011 Text Chunk & Sven K - Ultramyst

A key part of New York’s club music underground, WTCHCRFT will release his next EP on Clasico, Local Action’s new sibling label curated and operated by ELEANOR.

Titled Sleepless in Brooklyn, the four-track EP sees WTCHCRFT continue to hone a distinctive take on techno — typically driven by acid basslines, minimal 808s and vocal hooks that reflect his hip-hop background — that’s seen him supported by the genre’s brightest sparks: Ellen Allien, Marie Davidson, TSHA, VTSS, Francois X, SPF DJ and Paula Temple.

A live fixture in the US and Europe, both solo and as one half of Madness Of (with regular b2b-partner KYRUH), WTCHCRFT has previously released on Balkan Vinyl, Sorry Records, Noise Manifesto and more.

Started during the pandemic and finished at the start of this year, Sleepless in Brooklyn is “dedicated to my time in Sunset Park Brooklyn, staying awake every day during the pandemic making music until 7AM."

All tracks written and produced by WTCHCRFT in Brooklyn.
Mastered by Alex Gordon at Abbey Road Studios.

WTCHCRFT — Wait!

False Persona launches his label Etched with 'Cradled / Headrush', a 2-track melting pot of influences that effortlessly blends a range of inspiration from electro and breaks, to ambient and leftfield bass. 

The opening track 'Cradled', gradually builds through an ethereal, cinematic soundscape that carries between sections, taking the listener on a textural journey, before descending into a signature dark and driving rhythm that pulsates throughout the track. 
Topped with hyper-active vocal chops and ear-candy, 'Cradled' sets the precedent for Etched. 

On the heavier side of the two we have 'Headrush', a title which couldn't be more appropriate when describing the chaotic energy this track resonates. Armed with a carefully crafted palette of sound design and drums that will undoubtedly make your ribcage rattle, 'Headrush' is unapologetically False Persona. Proceed with caution.

"Markham Road Records is back steering steady with atch22, Count, Rizla Ops, and Teqmun in the driver seats. MR003 finds form as a quartet of percussion providing some real bang for your buck. This release was dreamt up for quick stepping activity, and the four tracks assembled provide a wide ranging toolkit to get us all moving. Although each artist provides a unique solution, movement was and remains the underlying idea behind this third release. 

“sexta feira” finds itself on the borders of trance, dembow, and dubstep. Besides these initial patterning queues, atch22 also employs a variety of vocal stabs and modulation to keep the track moving. After a recent move to build a studio in Strahov Stadium (would definitely suggest looking this one up), atch22 has been back behind the monitors, with this track being the first product of his new musical home. The track defines itself in the world of peak time frequencies and fluctuates through a wide range of feelings."

PREMIERE: Noise Casino - Pa

SELVAJIA & C1BERIA – HIPERLAXA
Out now!
🔗 Link in bio → terminalrec.bandcamp.com/music

From a house under renovation in Lima — surrounded by construction noise, traffic, and the intensity of city life — SELVAGIA & CIBER1A carved out the mental space to build HIPERLAXA: a raw document of transformation and catharsis.
Produced in just a few days with field recordings, modular synths, and shared intuition, the record flows like a fixed point watching everything around it mutate, collapse, and rebuild itself.

Industrial, club, deconstructed, funk, Afro-Peruvian — influences are torn up, distorted, and blended without hesitation.

Both artists come from improvisation and dropped any preconceptions, letting the process itself define the sonic world of HIPERLAXA — transient, intense, danceable, and unexpected.

More than a record, HIPERLAXA is the echo of a vital transition, captured in a moment where everything was shifting.
Between Lima and Montreal, urgency and contemplation, SELVAGIA & CIBER1A  craft a rhythmic antidote for times of perpetual motion.
