Vizar - Autumn Flow

The border-crossing rhythms of Mexicali-based producer Siete Catorce are about to culminate in a head-spinning EP for Athens label Hypermedium. The four tracks on 'Agnosia' look to the traditional rhythms of Latin America but find expression in the language of experimental club music: seams of noise, frantic glitches and heavy basslines bring chaos and groove in equal measure. Before the EP drops on May 25, we debuted the gravity-defying reverse-shuffle of ’Risa’, the EP’s opening track.

Siete Catorce "Risa" [Top Flight with Chal Ravens Premiere]

Malfunction

Simkin - System

Artist: Otik
Title: Blasphemy
Cat. No.: BOOGIE007
Release Date: December 6 2019

Following on from Caldera’s 13 17 EP, Boogie Box invites Otik to the fold for an excursion into fresh and vibrant club music unbound by genre. London-based producer Ashley Thomas is perfectly aligned with the Boogie Box’s desire for unconventional angles on dancefloor-focused sounds with bassweight tendencies, and his ever-growing back catalogue proves the point via releases for the likes of Nous, Keysound and Durkle Disco. 

The EP opens with Blasphemy, a heads-down workout that exercises restraint as it tunnels into its groove. Otik’s attention to detail is plain to hear, as side-chained harmonic textures and processed voices pivot around the snaking rhythm of the drums, but the overall effect is subliminal and meditative. Unshut is twitchier from the outset, using bright swipes of chord and a wriggling bed of sound to shape out the personality of the track. Once again the dynamics of the track are executed with a cool head, using inventive approaches and conjuring up a fractured, nostalgic atmosphere in the process. 

Four Feet immediately strikes for the heart with its front and centre synths and re-pitched vocals. The beat is just as striking when it locks in – a tumbling, intricate construction made up of tiny shards of organic matter falling in loose but purposeful unison. Metrist, fresh from a recent drop on Timedance, steps up with a remix of Four Feet that does away with the emotive elements and instead opts for a future-shocking trip into pure electronica. Largely drawing on the complex percussion, Metrist uses those clattering textures as a springboard into chemically-treated sound design acrobatics and leftfield rave energy. 

Both the originals and remix alike opt for inventive creative decisions over dancefloor functionality, but never at the expense of the club potential of the resulting tracks. This is music that positively celebrates the breaking down of barriers, taking the notion of dance music somewhere exciting and new, but importantly somewhere it still bangs.
