Two years after our last V/A, we're back with the first opus of our ‘Vapordub’ imprint series. Another artifact rising from the depths of the leftfield music scene, this time focused on contemporary psychedelics.
Highly inspired by the textures of the vaporwave sonic aesthetic, our 16-track compilation displays in turns intriguing sound design, graceful synths from a new age, weird exotics and psychoactive slow-dubs.

Designed to please either curious or skilled ears, our various paves the way for a 90-minute mind wandering in distant, fantasized realms. Featuring renowned international artists, up and coming French projects and obscure aliases in the likes of A Strange Wedding & Camille Claire Olympie, Alieno deBootes, Babau, Bouti, Dean O’Brien Resorts, Dylan Henner, Georgia, Giant Grouper, Herbarium, Horn Chants, Jonnnah, Naomie Klaus, Nuke Watch, Polonius, Salamanda and Vica Pacheco.

To be published on March 30, 2022 on a 2x 12” gatefold-vinyl-bundle, including marbled &-transparent waxes and a mesmerizing combination between Vica Pacheco’s artwork and Romain Guillo’s design.

Braden Wells 221124

welcome to the new year — to have you back in our (digital) arms feels so sweet. the possibilities that lay ahead of you are endless, there’s so much more joy and grief and warmth and growth to be felt, and we cannot wait to share in that, with you.

it’s been a minute but once we caught wind of Aaliyah Salem (@aaliyahsalem ), we knew our hiatus had to end. 

the thing to know about Aaliyah is that, well, she is that girl.
Aaliyah has a rare gift for creating a space where music and movement align, ever evolving and pushing the listener towards something far greater than themselves — this mix is no exception — transformation lays thick in the air, hitting hard in all the right spots.

so press play and allow Aaliyah to shift your sights for the promised land. let the notes wash over you like waves - some with quietude, some with strength. 
what do you hope for this year? what do you see? what can you feel? these questions can be scary, we know, but allow these sounds to guide you down a path of gentle introspection - you will not go it alone.

love still exists and Aaliyah a reminder of where to find it.

Jay Glass Dubs - Plegnic [E039] 
Out on vinyl and digital on Ecstatic Recordings
07/09/2018

Jay Glass Dubs sublimates Athenian distress and ennui into plasmic dub ether on ‘Plegnic’, his lushly evolved 1st collection of new material for Ecstatic, following from their acclaimed, 2LP ‘Dubs’ [2017] set of his earliest, hard-to-find tape releases. 

Deconstructing and rebuilding Jamaican dub with musique concrete production methods and a lingering air of inspiration from new age and Laïko, or Greek popular music, on ‘Plegnic’ Jay Glass Dubs fascinatingly evolves his sound with richer melodic and harmonic arrangements in a concerted effort to bridge and expand the nostalgic, esoteric and dancefloor dimensions of his unique sound world.

The key to the record lies in its title, ‘Plegnic’; an extinct word meaning “to strike like a hammer”, as well as its palpable sense of nostalgia. In this archaic context, JGD uses vintage machines and obsolete samples into junction with vocals from Yorgia Karidi - sound artist and coincidentally former beau of his childhood neighbour, and Andreas Kassapis one of his oldest friends, who provides the cover art - to conjure a strikingly new, mutated take on classic and well-trodden styles; metaphorically and anachronistically renewing their purpose while connoting his newfound dancefloor drive in the process.

Recording took place at his mother’s house in the Athens suburbs, with Fugazi’s ‘Steady Diet of Nothing’ on repeat. It was here that he dug out an old Juno, a Yamaha RX5 drum computer, and some “…crappier equipment” that provides the structural scaffold to his array of nostalgic, melancholic Laïka samples, which could be considered the ghost in the shell or the diffused soul of this superb five part crop.

On the A-side he sets out to spook with the desiccated, teetering steppers motion of ‘Temple Dub’ featuring heavily processed vox by Yorgia Karidi, but the heady nostalgia takes over with a sublime tactility in the vaulted chorales and endless reverb tails of ‘Umbro Dub’, and again in the aching sehnsucht of ‘Mouthless Dub’, where traces of Laïka’s bouzouki melodies most beautifully glimmer thru. 

However, the B-side is far more upfront and up-for-it, firstly putting his weight behind the cranky skank of ‘Dry Dub’ with its hexagonal drums and acidic bass squirm, then in the super squashed swagger of ‘Fearless Dub’, a near 10 minutes long pinnacle of his dancefloor output to date.

Ultimately Jay Glass Dubs’ music is riddled with the kind of nostalgia that can make an unfamiliar piece of music feel like an intense déjà entendu, like you’ve heard it before in a dream or some altered state. That’s a rare and precious thing.

BUY!

Exhaust

Lee Gamble - 'Glue' - Taken From 'Exhaust' 15/11/2019

Sound the @hyperdub klaxon! Label regular and @uiqmusic bossman @LeeGamble is releasing part two of his three-part album 'Flush Real Pharynx' this November.

The new chapter, an eight-tracker titled 'Exhaust', builds on the overarching narrative first introduced earlier this year on 'In A Paraventral Scale'.

On 'Exhaust' Gamble dives deeper into the concept and delves further into the world at hand. A world, we should add, stemming from his explorations into the 'Semioblitz' theory, which focuses on "the aggressive onslaught of visual and sonic stimuli of contemporary cities and virtual spaces".

It's nervier, neon-hued and more chaotic that the previous volume. In typically Gamble style it's an exploration of familiar, brain-aching real-world reflections and computer-generated sound design intended to provoke dancers instead of chin-strokers, with faint hints and intentional hues of jungle, rave and techno obliterated and rebuilt in shiny new mutated forms. 

On track 'Envenom' Gamble offers up a heady, woozy number that fuses those forms all together, all at one time, all in one track. A thrill-seeking tune that refuses to sit still, constantly changing course and tempo much like a race car speeding around a course right up until the end. 

Hyperdub will release 'Exhaust' on November 15.

My music extends beyond the border of uncompromising ritual rhythms, in endless sonic soundscapes and dirty dark techno, noise and industrial forces. 
I  purposefully deconstruct once created, in an effort to re-create deep stories flowing into space. Together with fragments of tracks, layered between each other, I am using field and voice recordings, cumulating sounds together with concrete echoes, tapping and cracking rhythms in never-ending journeys.
