ETS-MWIZI
02/04/21
Even The Strong

Mwizi is a collaboration between Nabalayo – an artist, producer and vocalist from Nairobi, Kenya – and Even The Strong label founder NKC. The release combines Nabalayo’s arresting vocal harmonies and flowing melodies, which draw influence from Kenyan folk music, as well as Bjork, Kelela and Tiwa Savage, with NKC’s broken rhythms, choppy sampling and pulp FX.

Afterlife

Premiere: Janice Iche x NKC ‘Afterlife’

Ghost Mode is the instrumental VIP of Janice Iche x NKC - Afterlife, from How You Flow.

How You Flow is a collaborative EP between Janice Iche – an artist, DJ, and vocalist based in Mombasa, Kenya – and NKC – Bristol, UK. The project started out in the DMs, developed through WhatsApp calls and emails in the latter half of 2021, and ended up as an extended release – featuring three original collabs and three instrumental re-versions by NKC with alternate track names.

Ghost Mode

NKC drops a fresh solo EP that finds the balance between grimey overdriven basslines and grown ‘n sexy percussion rhythms; four funky house grooves drawing on amapiano, gqom, and UK funky influences.

No event celebrates dance music’s excess and success like the Miami Winter Music Conference. Having outgrown its four-day flesh-pressed networking roots, the last two weeks of March sees the Florida hotspot don the crown as Party Central. A clubland Mecca for fans and industry players alike, it’s home to all manner of attractions during the fortnight including Ultra Fest, Spring Break, honeys, hunks and a whole host of pop-up parties held everywhere from poolsides to pool clubs. 

Thousands of shindigs, all vying for your attention: each one a showcase for labels, artists and DJs to show what they have in store for the rest of the year… And get inspired by what their peers are rocking, too.

A mainstay at the annual sun-soaked session since their first outing to the US east coast in 1998, Ram Records know the Miami experience intimately. Back then Miami was a different beast; the sole preserve of house and trance, drum & bass had to shout loudly to grab the dancers. These days Miami welcomes all shades of bass music, and D&B is the hottest ticket in both South Beach and Downtown.

Reflecting the changing attitude of the WMC and the wider world of electronic music, Ram Records have curated a compilation of their biggest Miami moments. Spanning from as early as 1999 and rolling right through to the future, each of these cuts have proved to be a bona fide banger in both peaktime sunshine and primetime nightlife.

14 years of Ram releases spread across a 14-strong selection. Press play and be whisked back through Miami’s D&B history. Timeless blasts from drum & bass past include… Ed Rush & Optical’s ever-mean percussion-heavy rub of Ram Trilogy’s ‘Mindscan’, Concord Dawn’s switch-flipping vocal bash-attack ‘Fly Away’, Sub Focus’s career-shaping ‘Airplane’ and MIST’s subtle jazz motifs on ‘Evolution’ 

These heritage bangers rub shoulders with more recent Ram releases with the likes of Culture Shock’s ‘I Remember’, Loadstar’s ‘Passenger’, Delta Heavy’s ‘Get By’, Mind Vortex’s ‘Now It’s Time’ and Calyx & TeeBee’s ‘Pure Gold’ bridging the gap between Miami’s past and present. There’s even time for an exclusive as Toronto’s man-of-the-moment Rene LaVice maintains the heat from his debut album ‘Insidious’ with a shimmering, rolling newbie ‘Query’.

Throw in other key moments such as Andy C’s remix of Major Lazers ‘Get Free’,  Wilkinson’s ‘Need To Know’ and Hamilton’s ‘Deep In My Heart’ and you haven’t just got a potted history of Miami’s biggest D&B anthems… You’ve got a unique Ram Records selection that celebrates
dance music’s success and excess to perfection. Whether you’re heading out to Miami or not this year, this is essential. Finishing off the package is Ram Trilogy – Evolution (MIST Remix) available for the first time digitally.

1. Major Lazer ft Amber Coffman – Get Free (Andy C Remix)

made a rmx of the amazing track god's chariots by oklou. i was quite fascinated with the arpeggios and the first lyrics. i thought i'd share this bop. had lot of fun doing it.

original track : www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvlJ3keIJdw

the whole album is such a nice pop record.

Note that all profits will go to the Utopia 56 association which does a great field work helping refugees in several part of France where our government is failing to take care of this, only using tools of repression...

oklou - god's chariot's (basile3 lost club mix)

Artist: @yilanmusic
Catalogue Number: IM085
Album: Suddenly I Am Falling
Release Date: January 29th, 2021
Format: Digital

Emerging for his second release on Infinite Machine following his highly acclaimed 'Regression' EP with Amazondotcom and Superfície, Leeds - based producer Yilan returns for 'Suddenly I Am Falling'.

The title track opens with polyrhythmic kicks, electric hats and cataclysmic atmospheres that are set to send the dancefloor into a frenzy.

'Static Void' is an authentic Techno Dancehall masterclass with a sharp snare dancing around the syncopated pulse of the track.

Collaborating with Ren for third track, 'Niffler', sees the duo lurking into 90BPM territory for an unstoppable groove with razor-sharp percussive brutality and a masterclass in futuristic sound-design that expands across the entire audio spectrum.

Track four, 'Underwater Construction', is a halftime roller with ramped up distorted hits that emanate from an abandoned warehouse, like machinery exhaling.

'AFADS', featuring collaborator Ebb, launches things back into a rolling abyss like a ticking time bomb of kick drums that poke and play around paranoid lazer stabs and an astounding middle section that will leave you gulping in shock.

Closing the record out with an ambient work 'Lost Signals' portrays softer timbres of birdsong and synthesised windchimes, allowing time to reflect on what is one of the most inspiring talents to come out of the UK underground.

Tracklist:

1. Suddenly I Am Falling
2. Static Void
3. Niffler (with Ren)
4. Underwater Construction
5. AFADS (with Ebb)
6. Lost Signals
