Galtier makes his second return to his own label with a 5-track offering of off-kilter, obscure electronic madness aptly titled 'Imitation Plantae'. Inspired by the idea of man-made imitations attempting to capture the essence of natural beauty. Galtier's take on this very concept manifests itself through the ever-present sense of unease that is evident across all five tracks. The melodies drift in and out of tune, ever so slightly, ultimately sounding pleasing but always fleeting in their general aura of pleasantness.

A showcase of Galtier's breadth of confidence across a huge span of BPMs and rhythmic influences that is showcased on his sophomore NHS release, reflecting the sense of uncertainty conveyed through the Intentionally awry mood throughout.

‘Half-Dead Orchid Still Breathing’ is a stripped back thudding piece designed for a futuristic cyber-Zaibatsu Police chase scene. Dense 808 subs thunder with spacious yet present tom drums as hollow synthetic sounds reverberate in between. It carries low end weight and steps with an almighty poly-rhythmic flow.

Here is my edit of 'Dot/Eyes' which comes from one of my favourite band Tortoise's 'It's All Around You' album from 2004. The original was begging to be made into a clubbier edit.

Nico - THE SOUND

Hold onto your seats as pq returns to the spooky shit imprint with a racing new EP, ‘exhaust loop’. Described in the press release as ‘balloony tunes’, it feels like the most appropriate way to talk about these weird and wonky tracks. With the release coming up next week, we have the exclusive stream of the turbo-charged ‘cheek’ leaving you breathless in your tracks. 

Founded by pq, ekhe and spooky-j, spooky shit was launched in 2019 as a platform to house their boisterous, in your face club records whether that’s solo or under their trio moniker Hot In Da Club. 

‘Exhaust Loop’ by pq will be released on the 4th November via spooky shit - pre-order here: https://spookyshit.bandcamp.com/album/exhaust-loop

A dystopian robotic techno cut from Nico's forthcoming EP on NAAFI. 

Based in Mexico City, Nico’s new brilliant contribution to NAAFI’s imprint, ’Si’, is described as his most direct and club-ready output. Marking his second release of the year, the EP follows on from ‘Everyone Sees But Only A Few Know’ which came out in April this year on his Akita Club label. 

‘Si’ by Nico will be released on the 18th November via NAAFI - pre-order here: https://nicodf.bandcamp.com/album/si

An ode to failure!

Departing from the image of the genius artists, the Hit&Miss compilation wants to show the hidden parts of creation, by embracing missteps and abandonment as a natural part of any artistic journey. 

Open to all members of the Global URL Nation, it proposed a new home for projects that couldn't find a place to exist otherwise, due to artistic (self-)exigency, technical problems, bad timing or any other reason often unknown to the general public. 

With more than 20 artists from a broad range of styles, experience and locations, it gathers unfinished projects such as aborted WIP, forgotten drafts, lost files, unconvincing demos, compulsive emotional bursts or technical experimentations. 

With all its flaws and raw cuts, Hit&Miss asserts the strength of trial and error, and cherishes the impossibility to develop an idea into a finished object as a learning process towards one's growth.

@galtier

Following up off his early 2022 NHS EP 'Imitation Plantae’, NHS bossman Galtier brings back the weirdo-bass vibe with a panic-stricken selection of 4 tracks spanning a plethora of BPMs; no surprises there. A surprising switch to hardware production however has caused a healthy shift in the general presence of Galtier's tracks. Distinctly churning in mood and flow, Galtier’s third contribution to his own catalog are tunes for the place where the roof drips.

The nauseating melter-tech approach to the array of tracks reek of panic-mode energy; with jarring hooks that contort through the resonant, crispy aether of each piece. The rawness of hardware shines through on each iteration of this new focus for Galtier: a distinct step in the direction of swampy bass music that glistens just right as those raw frequencies should.

Edited Arts is launching ‘Endorphins’, the first in a new series of charity compilations. Endorphins features contributions by Cassius Select, Ccontrary, DJ TESS, Emily Glass, furious styles, Hard Fantasy, Jaeho Hwang, Jasper Jarvis, Lighght, d0us, Shelley Parker and terribilis.

‘Endorphins’ is a compilation of pre and post cathartic visions & sounds. Embodying the alleviating potential of club music, 12 artists have made sonic references to the happy hormone that acts to relieve pain. Vigorous drums, shy wubs, disobedient trance, lifting breaks, and reclining interludes work towards the unrestrained mindset of this collection. This is the first release from a series that recreates psycho-sensory states of happiness, or the lack thereof.

Profits from this release will go to Black Minds Matter and Drake Music.
