Celebrated DJs @jon_k_mcr and Elle Andrews (@souveniruk) mint their hugely promising new label, @mal-recordings with proper dancefloor screwballs by @ausschuss; decimating UKG, dembow and industrial dancehall styles in a playfully mutable volley of devilish club ballistics.

Launching MAL as a reaction to the sorry state of global affairs, the ‘Cruise’ EP epitomises the maddening flux of the matter with a strong reminder to dance in the face of it all. In fractal not fractional moves, Berlin-based sound designer Linus Nicholson aka Ausschuss outlines the label’s divergent co-ordinates with seven tracks that bend sound designer tekkers to structures that step in the cracks between styles, zig-zagging between crafty permutations of classic and up-to-the moment UK club music, and a world of influence from Angolan Kuduro to Latin dembow and Afro-Caribbean dub, or what is commonly known as hard drum.

No mistake, this is rudely countercultural business, colouring outside the lines of convention in a way that defies categorisation, but will be recognised by dedicated DJs and dancers.

Premiere: Ausschuss 'Bunny Crutch'

Bertie steps up to the MEFD pedestal with his dubbed-out banger ‘Back In The Room’.

Clear-cut drums punch through swathes of warbling bass and hypnotic stabs, traversing the realms of UKG in elegant fashion. Leave the room and embark on a cerebral voyage surrounded by techy motifs and sweeping ambience.

Stepping up to the Free DL is @tom-place-music known best for some of his releases on Godezz and Childsplay just to name a few. We've been massive thanks of his extremely diverse sound palette and Tom is always one of those artists that we're excited to listen to whenever one of his tracks pop up, you just never know what to expect!

Hot on the heels of a sold out first volume, @elle_andrews & @jon_k_mcr’s @mal-recordings serve a sick second battery of broken club 'PRESSURE' featuring new and exclusive cuts from Jana Rush, Filter Dread, Time Cow, Avon Blume, Soltura and @siyabonga-king-maceeyar, together making for the label’s hungriest delivery to date with skews of grime, breakbeat hardcore, footwork and gqom from friends and fam strewn between the Caribbean, South Africa, the US and the UK. 

South Durban’s enigmatic King Maceeyar came to Elle and Jon’s attention via Okzharp and the track included here has been heavily rinsed in recent MAL sets, his contribution here 'Our Memories' serving a mad slice of emosh gqom, marrying melancholy pads to the taxi techno template including a literally tear-inducing spoken word section.

Ma Sha - Elastik EP

Release date: 27 October 2023
https://ma-sha.bandcamp.com/album/elastik-ep

Nervous Horizon is delighted to welcome New York-based producer and DJ Ma Sha to the roster with a high-voltage three-track EP titled "Elastik".

For her Nervous Horizon debut, the Kindergarten' honcho immerses herself in a solitary sonic journey drawing inspiration from the concept of self-isolation-induced time distortion and the interplay of the diverse rhythms intertwining in her environment. From the quick motion of people outside her Ridgewood apartment juxtaposed with the slow, fluid movements of her indoor plants, to the intense traffic on Myrtle Ave contrasting the flowing red light shadows on her studio walls, Ma Sha blends warped reality and sound exploration forming the perfect collage.

Shaping her distinct solo sound with a focus on finding a balance between her critical thinking and intuition, each track resonates with different emotional states. By aligning heavily time-stretched elements with chopping and granulation techniques, Ma Sha skillfully incorporates the altered time concept within the tracks' structure. If "KV December" mirrors unpredictable emotional fluctuations, in both "Myrtle Warp" and "Psyspi" vocal textures' shifts and layered synths co-exist with bold and sharp percussion. Accompanied by a fresh take by Ehua on one of the originals, the EP unravels around a warped perception of time while consistently maintaining the playful atmosphere that defines Ma Sha's personality and the music that truly inspires her.

In 1989 when Trip City was first released with the soundtrack on audio cassette, there had been no other British novel like it. This was the down and dirty side of London nightclubs, dance music and the kind of hallucinogenic drug sub-culture that hadn’t really been explored since Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Maybe this is why Trip City is still known as “the acid house novel” and an underground literary landmark. 

Trevor Miller (excerpt from vinyl sleeve): “It was an overcast afternoon, early in 1989 when I went to visit A Guy Called Gerald at Moonraker Studios in Longsight, Manchester… You have to imagine or cast your mind back to a time before electronic music was largely generated via software or complex apps. Drum machines and sequencers were the gold standard – or all there was. So, the early pioneers like Gerald Simpson were literally inventing a ‘sound’ that didn’t totally exist, yet. I must confess, I was a little sceptical at first when Gerald opened a few beat-up holdalls and started lifting out a weird collection of 808s, 303s and the like. Still, he plugged them together like some mad genius and then literally conjured a soundtrack from thin air. I was staggered by his intuitive skill and virtuosity. I was energised by how he changed-up and dropped into different styles, without skipping a beat. From orchestral, through danceable, even the sombre power of Gregorian chants… Thirty-plus years later, I would like to think that the soundtrack is important because it sets the story in a time and a place. It’s an atmospheric companion piece that may well transport you back to those sweaty nights in a smoke-filled club when too many pills took hold. If it does – great. And if not, it doesn’t really matter because these are still terrific tunes that sound just as unique and emotive as when Gerald made them, all those years ago.”

Gerald: “When Trevor first gave me his manuscript for Trip City, I was excited by the experimental concept of writing music for a novel with the birth of British acid house as its backdrop. I wanted to create musical paintings which would evoke the story's atmosphere and illustrate its visions of a dark, seedy club scene and the characters lurking there. This reissue affords a rare snapshot of an evolving music scene and celebrates the history of electronic dance music over the past 30 years.”
