Release date: December 3rd 2021

The debut album „Silicate Squeak“ by @lukasoppenheimer as Windowseeker, releasing December 3rd via Infinite Drift, propagates through imagined realms of silicate.

Hardly anything found in nature is as ordered as crystal lattices that inform the unusual qualities of their parent bodies. A spectrum can be spanned between this periodic structure and the disarray found in liquid or gaseous matter, with the former lending itself to a sense of stability and harmony and the latter finding itself in unpredictability and chaos.
„Silicate Squeak“ translates activity on this spectrum into sound and applies this intuition to open a window to an illusory realm, capturing an ever-changing stream of diffracting signals, each moment dissimilar to the last yet undoubtedly of the same origin.

Following Notte Infinita's 'I Lost All My Data' release on INDEX:Records, the Berlin-based artist mediates the balance between dub-laced frequencies, introspective melodies and atmosphere on the next Oscilla Sound release. His propulsive Atmosfera three-tracker focuses on digital signal processing and embraces the shimmery, hyper-realistic synthetic quality of FFT manipulation.

Notte Infinita explores emotional narratives through sonic gestures and textures, taking inspiration from spaces, dreams and the experience of manipulating digital artefacts.

yet is a slippery word in English. Amorphous, these three letters in different contexts can define contrast or emphasis, set a place in time, show an expectation that something will occur or, paradoxically, that it is likely to stop. 

It is this mercurial nature that makes yet the perfect title for Tresor's latest compilation: the label follows on from the more explorative sections of 2021's landmark Tresor 30 boxed set with a compilation, featuring 13 artists making music that resists easy definition. 

Every track hints at and borrows from the familiar yet none follow the expected path: halfway through Deserto, Nandele &amp; A-Tweed dramatically reveal a very different sonic landscape that was initially suggested; DJ Sotofett collaborates with Tamil artist Kavadi with results that are unlike anything in the Norwegian producer’s catalogue as yet.

Further invention can be found as Jean Redondo's Hypersonic moves across spaces inhabited by digital hardcore and hyperpop before swerving off-road and into a futuristic hip-hop section; on No Longer Human, Ireen Amnes takes a different path at the crossroads melding hyperpop, trance, and sci-fi soundtrack atmospherics, Significant Other heads towards UK Bass and Dubstep, and France's Willis Anne skims by the outskirts of footwork with a piece that is almost completely uncategorisable.

Yet more sonic experimentation comes from E-Saggila, Nadia Struiwigh, NVST, Solid Blake, and Viikatory who offer unique takes on the well-established electro blueprint, while Ryan James Ford, and Nit. both find ways to blend elements normally found in ambient pieces with those heard on a dancefloor.

The feel of the compilation is yet again reflected in the enigmatic artwork by Malik Arbab, where shapes and colours suggest animals and plants but in a world that appears to be transient and constantly evolving.

Significant Other - Cellar One

Release : June 23th
Buy : gridrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sans-rel-che

To celebrate Grid 2nd anniversary, we gathered together thirteen earth-shattering tracks from the bass scene’s most promising creators, all aimed to move you in the most primordial way. Evoking images of vast landscapes and deep underground catacombs.

This compilation takes the listener deep into the earth with twisted percussion workouts from the likes of Jabes, Piezo, Ronan and Sister Zo… and back into the light with serene compositions from E-unity, Tammo Hesselink and A Psychic Yes, whilst Jay Duncan, Basile3 y Clara!, Jonny From Space, Flaty, Seekersinternational, and blu-e join the dots with their genre-defying creations.

As was the case with Grid’s previous compilations 'Improvisations' and 'Da Capo Al Coda', the label once again puts its stamp on a moment in the underground by collecting together productions of the highest quality that push the boundaries but undeniably make you want to move.

1. Tammo Hesselink - Paint Reduce Trick
2. Ronan - Shadowbox
3. E-Unity - Of all the places I could be
4. Basile3 y Clara! - Respira

PREMIERE⚡️E-Unity - Of all the places I could be [Grid]

Introducing the second release on angel: 'All I Am Is We' by the versatile Portuguese artist TOMÉ. This EP came about after we shared some incredible dancefloor moments with the young artist and raver, realizing there was a lot of common ground in our sonic leanings - the perfect ingredient to think of a record together. TOMÉ came up with a set of tracks that, through the loose lens of drum n bass, melds some of his main influences: experimental, dreamy, noisy, and intricate soundscapes.

Opener 'Jumping On Slippery Stones' follows a delicate, increasingly oneiric narrative led by organic yet tight crisp breakbeats; a soothing pad; a wobbly sub; arpeggiated psychedelia-drenched synths, and staccato strings. The hilariously titled 'Skull Emoji' follows suit with a mind-bending and ever-mutating break - something you wouldn't be surprised if it were DMX Krew or AFX on the commands - and a twisted synth line akin to what LFO were up to back in the early nineties. His own vocals, 16 rap bars pitched to semi-chipmunk levels, somehow make it to this track and unexpectedly tie it up perfectly.

'Unemployed Friends' brings us complex drum programming and disorienting (good) piano licks layered over warm fluffy pads to a highly emotive effect. 'The Plug Looking At Me' is the only four-to-the-floor track, punctuated with half-tempo dubbed out broken moments because nothing is straightforward in this record - ravey stabs also make the cut, making for a blissful and imaginative party banger.

The EP closes with a remix by Porto's Bug Snapper, a multimedia artist and musician who is part of the city's forward-thinking ARCANA collective. It picks up the original and transforms it with resonator sound sculpting into a dubby, deep ecstatic trip, all long drifting pads and renewed melodies.

angel is a new label ran from Lisbon by Violet. A sister label to naive and naivety, angel tries to portray the party series of the same name - a bass-led, smoke-drenched celebration where the main room is dedicated to dnb and the second room explores adjacent genres.
