Timeslave (II)’ sees Kush Arora’s Only Now project return with renewed intensity, in the sequel to the formative Infinite Machine release ‘Timeslave (I)’.

After the groundbreaking hybridity of the debut volume in the ‘Indian Unclassical’ series, the emphatic riddim-focused explorations of dancehall, bashment, and drill found on the Club Yeke EP ‘Vision’ – released under Arora’s own name – and select live dates alongside the likes of Andy Stott, Debit & Nyege Nyege-affiliated metal pioneers Duma, ‘Timeslave (II)’ finds Arora invigorated by aesthetic variation and constructive collaboration.

Enlisting renowned, specialist percussionists including Iggor Cavalera (co-founding member of Sepultura), Dave Sharma (Sub Swara) & Ravish Momin aka Sunken Cages, Arora adds symbiotic fuel to the fire, infusing the resonant, largescale sound world of the Only Now project with raw, frenetic insurgencies of virtuosic instrumentation.

Set within devastating productions that venture into graphic drone, hyperkinetic drum sequences, dub ruination (‘I Am Remembering’), writhing, cataclysmic noise (‘Shiv – Vengeance 2’, ‘EVP Inversion’), and even, degraded, introspective doom metal interludes (‘Endless Defeat’), the restless rhythms of Arora’s...  more

Dans ce nouvel épisode de POLAAR Tim Karbon reçoit Cassius Select

POLAAR invite Tim Karbon & Cassius Select - 25 Mai 2025

CCL launches their subglow label with Rebuild, an EP from Bristol club provocateur @georg-i, featuring remixes from @Metrist and the elusive B. McQueen.

Rebuild is influenced by math rock's feverish and cataclysmic energy, eschewing conventional club BPMs in favour of dizzying tempo trickery and polymetric wizardry. “Torn In Two” gets off to a slow, chugging start, with raucous synths riffing over emphatic drums, but soon swirls into a juddering, pointillistic frenzy. “Bridging The Gap” is a cathartic shout, an acidic crescendo whose triplet meter offers tempo-transitioning opportunities for adventurous DJs who don’t mind a bit of maths. “Communication” gallops along cathartically through ricocheting synths and drums, unfolding into a thrilling breakdown. On remix duties, B. McQueen re-imagines “Torn In Two” as a sultry, dubbed-out roller, charting groove across a heady plain, while Metrist’s ambitious rework of “Communication” amps up the tension and primes it for a peak-time dancefloor sometime in the next millennium.

Following releases from Lurka and Keplrr, GRACE has something more introspective in store. The label's fourth outing is a tasty collaboration between Bristol's @georg-i and Lisbon-based lyricist @olderbrotherolderbrother. Their 'Warm Skin' EP is a journey through slick, hi-tek bass and trip-hop injected with gritty vocal poetry.

Both artists are hitting their stride. Since 2021, georg-i has gone from strength to strength, his razor-sharp slappers appearing on YCO, FELT, and more recently, as the inaugural release on CCL's Subglow. Meanwhile, Older Brother's otherworldly vocals have featured on Timedance, Metrist's SOSOSO, and now a full release with the iconic imprint Numbers. 

On this EP, a soundworld emerges that recalls the dark intimacy of Massive Attack's Mezzanine and the beat science of Samurai Music. These two artists' combined talent makes for beautiful, moody listening - a third space between wonder and cynicism.

POLAAR with Nahash & SAUD - 28 Septembre 2025

@georg-i and @olderbrotherolderbrother join forces on 'Warm Skin'. The EP is a journey through slick, hi-tek bass and trip-hop injected with gritty vocal poetry.

Its first single 'Foundations' is a cool-headed club weapon, weaving between Older Brother's night-bus lyrics and slick drumscience from georg-i — halftime at its most minimal, potent, and sultry. Don't sleep.

CRTTR label has a clear vision, and we are fans of their new bold and genre-pushing releases!
