Pain Management welcomes London cult favourite DJ ojo, who arrives on the label with a hazy three tracker of trademark nether zone system music. On his most dubbed out full length to date, ojo span’s the full emotive spectrum of dub sonics with a range of both the eerie and more tender expansions of low end atmospherics, the resulting 12” equally suited for the club and the journey home alike.

‘Tongue Tied’ opens the record, a lysergic offering from the darker edges of dub music. A slippery fugue-state hit of narco-ambience built around a crooning, intelligible vocal refrain and chest shot sub weight. A real nightfall system pusher built to simmer in the early hours. It kicks off the EP on an amorphous, hypnotic note that sustains throughout.‘Oil Dub’ sinks deeper into the fog, melodic kinesis and expansive delays upholding an underworld of feedbacked percussion and tongue in cheek sub motion; a seven minute sound bath of ambiguous dub ASMR.

The B-side balances out the darker strains found on its counterpart with an overtly tender digidub closer. Clocking in at almost ten minutes long ‘Cloud Suck’ is a nebulous bliss of perpetually ascending late-summer warmth. The kind of liminal dream-state embrace that you wish would never end. True to the name, it evokes tender, dusk and dawn hued moments, a quiet ride-home flash of introspection on the way to or from some pursuit of meaning. Pain Management essential right here.

Limited run of 200 hand-stamped 12” records available now.

"Made for movers to 'awkward' with purpose. With notes of post-metal and hip-hop spun in a storm of frustrating riffs and unruly percussion."

XENIA REAPER - LMNL004 - zumi3 (Previews)

FRONT LEFT LIFE 29.7.25

Texture, percussion, and low end pressure are the only constants for No Harm (@noharmsound)  & Gristle (@griiistle). They emerged as a b2b duo by way of collaborating on Tāmaki Makaurau's ANTIDAWN nights. Since then, the persistent reimagination of their sets have made dancefloors motu-wide subject to the unpredictable and diffracted nature of contemporary bass music.

At the fringes of past playlists, they found capsules of tracks left behind but not abandoned. This mix brings forward some of these stragglers, threading seemingly dissimilar pieces together into a contextual reimagining.

"Hollow" is the 2nd release from Only Now, containing 4 obsidian slabs of vivid and uncompromising sonic architecture by Kush Arora. The record explores vast landscapes of mutant Kuduro, Gqom, and industrial sounds with the techniques of physically modeled drums, undulating tempo, and resonant processing. "Hollow' is brooding and melodic, utilizing choral structures, tuned steel, synthesis, and more electronics than the live percussive bombasts of the last release. 
Kush has been featured in The Wire, Spin Magazine, Fact Magazine and countless outlets for his notable work in the tropical bass, dub, dancehall, and Indian music scenes, with his 10+ record discography, but this marks a new beginning for him. His remixes and collaborations span artists as diverse as Balkan Beat Box to Gappy Ranks.
