Following their outstanding appearance on Kindergarten Records VA Fluo III, Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Martini debuts on Early Reflex with their first EP titled ‘Last Laugh’.

Touching sonic landscapes adjacent to Leftfield Techno, Dubstep and Electro, Martini explores in their 4-tracker the power to impact on both body and mind through their immersive sound achieved by a precise manipulation of timbre and rhythm from the American producer.

Title track ‘Last Laugh’ opens the journey into Martini’s world with syncopated beats and its punch kick surrounded by warped effects and a texture of arpeggiated synthesisers.
Mood and BPMs shift into electro-mode in’If I Don’t Laugh I’ll Cry’ a heavy distorted synth signals to the listeners that an explosive beat is about to drop.
The dance keeps going on and on with ‘Chaste’ which follows next, a wormhole of incessant kick-drums, pitch-shifting effects and punchy-basses.
The atmospherical state of‘Serendipity’ close the sonic journey into Martini’s world, where mind-twisting pads and undistinguishable vocals pre-announce the landing on an extraterrestrial dub-heavy “sonosphere”.

[EYX016] Martini - 'Last Laugh' EP (Preview Clips)

Bringing in 2024 with our first EP from NHS boss Galtier & Synes co-founder Druid on with their split EP 'Stone Hardware'. The EP’s four tracks are a collection of solo works and collaborative efforts from both producers recorded throughout the duration of late 2020 and early 2021, taking form as a hybrid collection of club-ready dancefloor destroyers.

The established end product of this EP is evident in the release’s title – an organic, primitive sound palette that frequents Galtier’s dynamic sound as heard in the last few years, combined with Druid’s mechanized futurism taken straight from the streets of Neo-Tokyo. Each producer has offered a distinctive focus that they have merged together into one evolving, unanticipated synthesis of proto and post-earthly sound.

Despite the efforts of organizers around the world, and the overwhelming disapproval of the international community, Israel continues in their campaign to see the displacement, murder, occupation, and apartheid of Palestinians to its brutal end with the help of the USA and UK.

As artists operating in the West, we call unequivocally for an end to this violence, for justice in the Palestinian struggle, and for the US and UK’s divestment of political and financial capital from the genocidal Israeli state.

We gather this music to offer our solidarity, make our position clear, and encourage others to continue advocating and organizing for the Palestinian liberation struggle.

All proceeds for this compilation will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (www.map.org.uk).

Site-██, deep snow and high-altitude mountainous conditions. “Maul Rheo” repair/destruction cycle is internalised but maintaining a safe distance was necessary to avoid triggering its violent programming.

“Maul Rheo” appears to possess an amorphous body capable of self-repair and self-modification. Discovered in the ███████ Mountains. The entity exhibits a perpetual cycle of self-inflicted violence, leading to continuous destruction and reconstruction of its form. This cycle is believed to be a result of its original programming, its behavior suggests a programmed directive, compelling Maul Rheo to engage in intuitive violent behaviors. Future research should endeavor to trace a genealogy of violence.

Body is composed of an unknown metallic alloy, showing properties of both high durability and malleability. During its self-destructive episodes, body parts can be observed to tear, split, and then reform. The process is accompanied by the expulsion of a black oil onto the white snow. This substance quickly solidifies in the ice.

Encounter with Ziyiz:

An interaction between Ziyiz was recorded on ██/██/████. Ziyiz attempted communication with “Maul Rheo” using a series of synthesized electromagnetic propagations. This interaction led to a temporary cessation of “Maul Rheo’s” violent behavior, but it’s internal directives could not be dissuaded. Further research into the effects of acoustic frequencies and speculative technologies on programming is recommended.

We introduce to you Italian born, Berlin based artist Jaf Ge Nos, a fresh new name to join the ever-expanding NHS roster. Having originated musically as a member of his band Valerian Swing, Francesco takes a daring step into the electronic music community with ‘Pianta Tenera’. Jaf Ge Nos comments on his own release:

‘I wrote these tracks as a complete foreigner to the electronic music world. DAW's, VST's, drum programming: I was completely new to all of this, but I wanted for so long to explore this field after many years having played in bands. So, after 2 years of attempts made between Correggio (Italy) and Berlin, here's my first EP of multi coloured, no-genre, electronic music.

I think it sounds simply like everything I loved in these years: soundtrack-ish old school synthesizer riffs, ready-to-perreo riddims, angelic choirs, jazz drums fills and apocalyptic drones. 

‘Pianta Tenera’ is about losing people, closing projects, closing relationships, mourning after all of this and then being born again, more conscious and strong than ever. 

The pic was taken in Umegaoka district in Tokyo during a tour with one of my bands. This little plant needed a lot of strength to grow up inside of a wall: this reminded me of the struggles I faced while writing the EP and reinventing myself in the field of electronic music after being a live musician for 10 years. I saw this delicate and humble plant also as a tombstone for both a dear friend of mine, and a family member, both who are not here anymore: Filippo and Genosse. Being Tokyo, Berlin, Italy or the furthest place from home: it doesn't matter in which part of the world we are now, we all still can feel the love you gave us.’
