ufff what a bridge, what an atmosphere 😍

False Witness doesn’t care much for escapism. Learning to DJ in their 20’s, the Brooklyn born / Berlin based producer was introduced to Nina Simone and a certain quote would become the foundation of their sonic point-of-view: “an artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” Now the artist prepares their Lobster Theremin debut. 

A response to the politically charged landscape we find ourselves in, False Witnesses music very much encapsulates the anxiety, frustration and futility of the contemporary world. Dark, empowering and manic; it isn’t interested in transporting you to a world where problems cease to exist, instead it fixates its sights on maximal - and often industrial - energy that inspires to take to the streets in protest: “a bigots worst nightmare”, as he told Editorial Magazine of his vision for the future earlier this year.

As the founding member of the KUNQ artist collective (home also to RIZZLA and SHYBOI), False Witness has shared the stage with Hector Oaks, Matrixxman, Tzusing - and has teamed up with SHYBOI for collaborative project FALSEBOI - across a variety of iconic venues, such as Tresor, SXSW and Berghain, in addition to significant releases on E-missions, GHE20G0TH1K and a contribution to Allergy Season’s incredible Physically Sick compilation series. 

The A1 - ‘Life Can Be Cruel’ - is as blunt as the title would suggest; clashing melodic and industrial rhythms creating a sense of big room, rolling largeness. ‘Onlyfans’ follows closely behind through the pitch-black corridors with maximalist, camp energy that feels like an aggressive ownership taking of outdated, sweeping generalisations relating to sex workers, given the relentlessness of the track and its title.

‘Bossa Bathrooms’ further compliments the hard dance appeal, its red-dot sighted lasers swarming the seemingly infinite black walls as we slip slowly towards  maximum overload, while False Witnesses ode to the city he calls home - ‘NYNYNYNYNYNY’ strays down a lower BPM route, instead focusing on chugging, hypnotising synth-lines and large, controlled noise that sounds like it came straight from the pen of a chaos composer. 

Accompanying the record is a digital only track from False Witness (‘Terpsichora’, named after a Japanese mango created by Ryoko Yamagashi) and a remix from Berlin based, Mala Junta resident D.Dan, which gives ‘Life Can Be Cruel’ a renewed sense of identity, with its breaksy steps, MSN Messenger-like samples and high velocity euphoria.

Tracklist:

A1. Life Can Be Cruel 
A2. Onlyfans
B1. Bossa Bathrooms  
B2. NYNYNYNYNYNY
B3. Life Can Be Cruel [D.Dan Remix]
Terpsichora [DIGI ONLY]

[PREMIERE] B3. False Witness - Life Can Be Cruel (D.Dan Remix) - LT081

Nova Cheq - Unnoticed

The German FM synthesis wizard Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS (https://soundcloud.com/ldstechno) presents his upcoming release 'algo5' on the Berlin label Blue Hour Music (https://soundcloud.com/bluehour909). The EP captures a wide range of sonic ground with an innovative and futuristic edge, like our trembling and thrilling premiere pick: ‘Vone’.

After head-turning releases on Transatlantic and Monnom Black, the mysterious LDS now drops a versatile record full of playful loops, experimental beats and virtuoso melody lines. Being “currently or forever on research”, as the artist puts it, LDS is able to arouse his listeners while making them search for visionary perspectives and new meanings of music at the very same time.

‘Vone’ is the second track of the bursting B-side that propels some dynamic and cracking rhythms through the ether.

Now on the cusp of their fifth release, Brussels-based imprint @faktice-label line up six brazen-faced cuts from label head @tom-askkin, zealously displaying the sound of Belgium.

Ifeksa EP

Askkin - Shoot Me Down [Faktice]

To wrap up the year, W133 has put together its second Various Artist release featuring a diverse lineup of emerging and established artists. 

Kicking off the EP is the French producer Monibi, offering a groovy and bass-heavy breakbeat track titled "Mahsa Amini." This track serves as a call to fight for women's rights, not only in Iran but around the world.

On A2, San Francisco-based Kudeki showcases her love for tripped-out Techno with "Cursive." This mesmerizing track, featuring a relentless bassline and a 4/4 kick, creates a spooky atmosphere.

On the flip side, label head Pino Peña teams up with samwho from Rotterdam to deliver a percussive power workout. "Jacarandas," named after the purple trees in CDMX, definitely has those Latin American vibes and rhythms that will get you moving.

For the closer of the EP, speed dembow heavyweight Siu Mata delivers a fast-hitting tribal bomb called "Dubiquity," which takes you on a journey through dramatic pads and spaced-out percussions.

The release is, as always, complemented by pictures taken by analogue photographer Freya Gerz and is available on vinyl with fully printed cover sleeves as well as digitally.
