Röyksopp - What Else Is There? (Matt Sawyer Edit)

GCA004 ‘Rudeboyz EP’
Release Date: 1st June 2015
Format: 12” Vinyl/Digital

Rudeboyz are Massive Q, Andile-T and Menchess from Durban. They make Gqom (or Gqomu or Igqom); raw, dark and hypnotic South African house music rooted in the townships of Durban, and shared with the world via the internet and social media. Gqom blares out at makeshift clubs, taxis and shopping malls; it is the music in Durban. Gqom roughly translated from Zulu to ‘Bang’ or ‘Hit’ - It’s uncompromising and stripped back music geared for the dancefloor. 

This EP has been a long time coming. Internet in Durban is woeful, which explains why a lot of tunes are at lower bit rates and equally why this release has been so long in the making. 

The EP opens with Get Down - the most direct and punishing of the four tracks with a punching synth and unrelenting kicks that do not deviate from their rhythm or their cause. 

Mercedes Song and Mitsubishi Song are odes to legendary presses of the pills that fuel the parties that run through the night. They roll for six unsettling minutes a piece - a long ominous drone underpinning the pounding beats. On Mercedes Song TD Snax adds to the unease as he shouts and yelps in Zulu: “Yaze yangibamba weeh yaze yangibamba” - "This Mercedes has got me so high, this is my Mercedes.” Mitsubishi Song, one of the biggest Gqom tracks of 2013, mirrors this unease switching between cascading toms and jolting, stuttering rhythms, cowbells and bird tweets.

Sambuka Dance is an ode to a very different poison and its disorientating arrangement is reminiscent of its effects. A jarring, angry chant harasses incessantly transforming the track into a full body experience.

As Jumping Back Slash eloquently put “Gqom feels like music you’ve been listening to for years”. It is a ghostly cousin of sounds it touches on - brash, abrasive music with no inhibitions.   

These four tracks were handpicked from a vast catalogue of tunes from Rudeboyz built up over the last couple years. We urge you to go listen to more of that catalogue: http://kasimp3.co.za/RudeBoyzSA

If you don’t know who Rastronaut is by now you haven’t been paying attention, but it’s okay because that’s about to change. The Lisbon DJ, producer, Hard Ass Sessions resident and all-around Enchufada powerhouse breaks out of his production hiatus to deliver Flexx, a track that sounds like it was built for the Hard Ass Sessions from start to finish. Who needs a breakdown when you can just keep adding cuica samples and weird synths to the track?

This heavyweight 130bpm club track is about to make its way into your set like a hungry piranha looking for its next meal, so don’t even try to fight it. Play this one loud and destroy your local dancefloor.

Premiered on Billboard! http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7669760/ducky-jessica-audiffred-whats-good-main-course-snacks-vol-17

Ducky and Jessica Audiffred celebrate their musical formidability with “What's Good,” a playful yet powerful collaboration that's as aggressive and trappy as it is downright adorable.

"I was really thrilled to work on a project with Ducky because, to me, she is one of the few girls out there with great style and a fresh point of view,” Audiffred says in an emailed statement. “We understood each other right away and we actually had a lot of fun throughout the process, from the very beginning when deciding on the direction of the genre to the very end when trying to figure out the name of the track. It was the ideal collaboration."

Pitched-up vocals, finger snaps, and 808 rhythms lure the listener to the dance floor, “and then it goes” mad noisy on the drop. You wouldn't guess it, but “What's Good” actually started as eight bars of prog house Ducky sent Audiffred on a whim.

“I’ve been a fan of Jess since her NEST mini mix, and I was really excited to work with her,” Ducky says in an emailed statement. “The whole vibe was fun and effortless from start to finish. We were stoked on each others ideas and the music just flowed.”

Snacks 17 opens with 'Whistler' a chord driven, yet wonky exercise by LA’s Chris Bushnell; The beat goes like this! Take a left on Temple Street and you’ll come up on Bixel Street. Indigenous to LA, the Bixel Boys deliver 'Traffic' a bouncy chugging house weapon full of bass throbs & sliced vocals. Continue for a quarter mile and we discover 'Whats Good' with Ducky & Jessica Audiffred, who give us a halftime jewel with some very hype rave components. Proceed to the route. We are on the way to do dabs with Aylen & Div/ide. Excited & growly, 'Hot Box' is sure to get you lit! Continue on the I-10 E for 1,895 miles and we can rest in New Orleans where Kid Kamillion unveils his new alias Daytona 83. Make sure your Volume is all the way up! For real, turn it UP! Do you think you’re fierce? Dallas’ Pass The 40 needs to know. 40 gives us a smooth tech-roller and questions your fierceness in the classiest way possible. Now its time to shake with Germany’s own FromDropTilDawn. The boys hit hard with a bloopy foray of thuddy kicks and crispy percussion. Topping off this batch of goodies is Mexico’s Stuuks; 'Just Love It' is a jacking tech bomb, smooth & refreshing like horchata on a hot summer day.

After their 2016 dancefloor burner "Jump," Poirier and Red Fox are pairing up once again for "Pull Up Dat" taken from Poirier's new album "Soft Power." Rooted in a dancehall style, "Pull Up Dat" is full of good vibes with Red Fox confidently leading the dance. Poirier brings a modern touch that relates to the 90's dancehall scene. On the B-side, Patexx is all about delivering an uplifting message with the collaboration "Unity & Strength." As Patexx says at the beginning of the song: "United we stand, divided we fall." Then on the remix tip, young and upcoming producer SIM from Montréal flexes to new heights, turning "Pull Up Dat" into a set-ready banger. 

With his first album dating back to 2001, Poirier is a prolific, creative and eclectic Canadian producer / musician with a 20 year journey of creating music. Constant in his albums and DJ performances is a desire to build bridges between different languages, communities, and cultures. His open, uninhibited musical mind means that his works bend boundaries, resulting in compositions that mix several styles and eras. He has now produced a total of 11 albums and many EPs with labels such as Ninja Tune, Nice Up Records and, more recently, Wonderwheel Recordings. Active in Montreal, his successful monthly dance party Qualité de Luxe is dedicated to African and Caribbean music, attracting crowds for over six years. Poirier is also the man behind Bounce le Gros and Karnival, parties with legendary status in Montreal nightlife history. 

“Pull Up Dat” is available digitally as a single pack and as a limited edition 7” vinyl record on September 25th, 2020.
